chuck line, who may be a lil..e crook
ed, arrives at a ranch, the 6rst ques-
tlon he asks Is whether Scarborough is
around that part OF the country.
Recently a man rode up 10 a ranch
Just as II was getting dark, found
Scarborough's horse 10 the corral, and
be did not stop. One OF the cowboys
told him which way Scarborough was
travelling and be went in another
direction. The second morning after
that he was out after bis horse, which
had got loose aud Scarborough rode by
close enough to see him, but paid no
attention TO bin. Afterwards Scar
borough heard how he had been trying
to keep away from him, and sent him
word that he did not want him,
Some ten or twelve years ago the man
had been in trouble and his guilty
conscience made him think that Scar
borough was after him. No 0n'
knows which way Scarborough Is go
ing, nor where he will turn up next
He is always surprising the boys, an,
most Of them do not like to be sur
prised.

Washington AMI General nowo's Dog.


While the British occupied Phila-
delphia and the American force lay in
winter quarters at Valley Forge, says
n writer in the Ladies' Home Journa..
one day, as Washington aud his staff
were dining, fine hunting cog, which
was evidently lost, came to seek some
thing to eat. On its collar was the
name General Howe" Washington
ordered that the dog should be fed,
and then he sent it to Philadelphia
under a flag of truce, with n letter
reading: General Washington's
compliments to General Howe. He
does himself the pleasure to return to
him dog which accidentally fell into
his hands, and, by the inscription on
the collar, appears TO belong to General
Howe" The British commander, in
reply, sent cordial letter conveying
his warm thanks for this act OF courtesy
Of his enemy.

Surveyed by Washington.

The Dismal Swamp Canal, which
was originally surveyed by George
Washington, but which has been prac-
tically disused for hundred years,
was reopenod for business on October
IA. The canal extends from a point
near Norfolk, Va, to the Pasquotank
River, in North Carolina, n distance
of twenty-five miles. 1t is ten feet
deep and eighty feet wide. By tho
use of the canal small vessels that do
not draw over ten feet OF water can
avoid the perilous outside trip around
Hatteras and its treacherous shoals. -

Again the ranks Of the knights

by death on the field of duty, George
Warrington Stevens, of the London
Daily Mail, has Just died at Lady
smith. He was at his post when the
Beers invested the town and shared
the common lot of his companions.
Although q -combatant, ho en-
dured all the privations OF the siege,
but succumbed TO fever at time when
the relief of the beleaguered camp
seems to be assured. Now that he is
dead, many a sage clubman in Pail
Mall who never had nn idea that he
didn't filch from the newspapers must
cease to begin his wise talks about
the South African campaign with the
words ''I see that Stevens says.
1t was so when the American, Mac
Gahan, showed Kaufman and Burnaby

he described, with q pen dipped in

Turkish massacres in Bulgaria, Lon

Ralph Keller, of the New York Tri-

Paris Plagued with Voracious Rats.

Paris is suffering from a plague ol
rats. Their ordinary resorts-tho sew
ers-having been disturbed by the
work connected with the 1900 Exhibi.
tion along the banks of the Seine, they
took reruge in the neighboring houses,
preferably the new ones. There arc
now streets near the river where the
inhabitants are afraid to allow their
children to cross the garden or the
courtyard after dark.
The central markets are infested to
such an extent that rat hunting has
been abandoned in despair. AS soon
as dark sets in armies OF rats attacks
the reserve provisions, to which they
have burrowed their way beneath tho
masonry.
The cats, which are numerous at the
central markets, live on the best of
terms with the rats, and they are seen
trotting about together.

Mamma Elephant ielps the Doctor.

The intelligenc of the elephant is
well known and is illustrated in an
interesting incident, as follows, says
the Chicago Times. Herald: A young
baby elephant had received severe
wound in its head, the pain of which
rendered it 50 frantic and ungovern-
able that it was found impossible to
persuade the animal to have tho
part dressed. Whenever any one APP
preached it ran off with fury and
would suffer no person to come within
several yards of il. The man who
had charge of it at length hit upon
contrivance for securing it, By few
signs and words he made the mother
know what was wanted. The sensible
creature seized her young one with her
trunk and held it firmly down, though
groaning with agony, while the sur
geon dressed the wound, aud .he con
tinued to perform this service every

he came into the presence OF the
bridal party Nellie had to throw her
arms around his neck, for there he
was in the good old blue and buff OF
the Continental Army, with black
ribbon cockade and cooked hat, the
uniform in which he had planned and
fought 80 many battles. He was fond
of the buffand blue.
He rode about his farms in the hot
summer, surveying, carrying his com
pass himself; his dress suitably plain
drab, great round hat on his head,
an umbrella fixed in the saddle. He
was quietly collecting and digesting
items for his will, and for the minute
directions he was writing to his agent
for the conduct OF the estate for sew
eral years to come. If belated, he
galloped home at round pace in time
for the getting-ready-for- dinner bell.
His library contained more than
eight hundred volumes, but his read
ing was chiefly on agricultural sub
jocts, and one OF his hobbies was that
the Government should established
National Board of Agriculture. Often
he stripped off his coat and worked
with his farm hands when they were
hard pushed. When he footed up

Primitive College Life.

Our quarters were of the simplest {:
two students had one room, with one
bed, and there we lived aud studied,
says w. J. Stillmau, in the Atlantic.
AT half past five the bell rang to wake
us. and half an hour later for prayers,
the sleepy ones returning to sleep af-
ter the waking bell and thrusting
themselves into their clothes as they
ran when the prayer bell rang, to get
to prayers before the roll call was
over. From prayers we again dis
persed to the recitation rooms for the
morning recitations. and then to
breakfast, mostly in town. There were
two boarding houses, one at each end
OF the college walk, known as North
and South Halls, aud forming part OF
the architectural scheme of the insti-
tuition, and here board was provided
at somewhat lower terms and very
much inferior quality than that at the
private boarding houses in town. The
price at the Halls was, if j remember
correctly, 81. % n week, three meals q
day, that in the town ranging from
81. so to 81. rs; furnished rooms in the
town costing 75c. per week more, and
4 few favored or wealthier students
had permission to room in them, but
as rule the undergraduates of Union
were men of very limited means, on
which account the president, DIR. Mott,
had planned the arrangements to ia
cilitate the attendance of that class of
students, and the rules were such a.
to closely restrict the students from
any participation in the social life Of
the townspeople.

solid oak, with ventilation at the
bottom, brought from the roof. A
perfectly equable temperament is
maintained the year round.
At the rear of the barn is the i'm
mense granary Of solid stone. A mac.
adamized walk runs all around the
castle, and this is all rocfed over,
forming attractive verandas; these YER
andas nre literally enmeshed in sum
mer with the choicest Of vines and
flowers. In the front is over an acre
of green velvet lawn; all about arc
beds of flowers. In the front is over
an acre of glittering sand, while foun.
tains are playing in every available
spot. I'm this department are kept tho
finest stations; Hamburg, valued at
S75, 900; Tammany, Ogden, Bathanp-
ton and Inverness, costing Marcus
Daily over $3.50, 900, but which no sum
could purchase from him now. All
are we'll known as royal stations and
winners of the largest prizes ever
offered. Here are also quartered the
cream OF the brood mares-over 200
in all, together with foals, to whom
the racing men of America look for
world-beaters.
The standard bred or trotting de
partmeut is located in the lower lands
and over 1000 acres is devoted to it,.
Like the thoroughbred department,
everything is in the most elaborate and
convenient form. Paddocks, barns,
all built with an eye to the greatest
convenience, but still pleasing to look
at, both outside and inside. There
are about 100 brood mares and the
foals there. The entire ranch, every
department, is connected by telephone
with the stock farm Office, which is Ill
Hamilton, IN the rear of the Ravalli
County Ba nix.
FAMED FOR ITS DOGS.
Another thing for which the ranch
is famous is its dog kennels, which
are all grouped around Tammany
Castle. The different strains and
breeds are we'll known to dog fanciers
One can almost pick out the dogs in
Butte which have come from Days
kennels, so superior are they. An
other sight we'll worth seeing are the
hatcheries and fowl coverts, also situ.
ated on the plateau. Every kind of
pigeon is to be seen here; every kind
of game cock hourishes and English
and China pheasants abound. The
pea fowls add a picturesque touch.
As for domestic fowls not breed can
be named which is not here repre-
sented. A peculiar thing is the hun
dreds of quail in the fields oil over the
ranch. Mr.. DAILY imported them from
California and they are multiplying
beyond his most sanguine hopes.
From very brief description some
idea of the magnitude of operations on
Days ranch may be gained. But no
one can arrive at an idea of the beauty
Of the place unless he visits it. Weeks
could be pleasantly spent visiting the
different departments. 1t has so far,
stock and all, cost Mr.. DAILY over S4, =
900, 900, but il will repay him thou
sand fold. although that part he does
not care about. He has turned the
desert into park and has built n
home that might well be the envy of
kings.
