The extra HOPSe,o

A lover of horses recently noticed a
custom in France which he thinks
ought to be adopted in this country On
every street in France which has a
steep grade there is stationed at q
point where the rise begins an extra
horse" The law compels draymen and
others to make use of this horse until
the summit of the hill is reached, and
there is a heavy fine for refusing to
hire the extra horse at a small fixed
rate. Placards by the roadside indicate
the point where the extra horse should
be taken on, and also where he may be
dispensed with.

CHAPTER VII

As soon as Mrs. Hardy had arrived all
their neighbOrs came over to call, and
very friendly intercourse was quickly es-
tablished between them. AS there was
no spare bedroom at Mount Pleasant,
some hammOcks were made, and hooks
were put into the sitting room walls, 50
that the hammOckS could be slung at
night and taken down in the morning.
The English party always rode back to
Canterbury, as the distance was so short
and the JamiesOns generally did the
same; but Messrs. Percy, Williams and
Markham usually came over in the after
noon and rode back again next morning.
Upon Sunday morning Mr.. Hardy had
service, and to this the whole of their
friends generally came. 1t was held early,
so that the Jamiesons and the English
men could ride back to their homes be-
fore the heat of the day, the other three
remaining to dine, and returning in the
cold of the evening Canterbury was en-
tirely a sheep and cattle farm. The own
ers had five thousand sheep, and some
hundreds of cattle; but they had COM
paratively good deal of time upon their
hands, as stock and sheep farming does
not require so much personal care and
supervision as must be bestowed upon ag
ricultural farms. The JamiesOns on the
contrary, We're entirely occupied in til
lage; they had no sheep ana only few
head of cattle.
Mrs. Hardy was remarking upon this
one day to Mrs. Percy, who replied, "Ah,
the poor fellows are very unfortunate.
They brought out a fair capital, and had
as large a stock of sheep and cattle as
the Canterbury party have. About six
months, however, before you arrived the
Indians swept down upon them and car
ried off every animal they had. That
puts one in mind, Hardy, of a matter
upon which l had intended to speak to
you. We are just getting now to the
time of the year when Indian attacks are
most likely to take place. Sometimes they
are quiet for a year or two, then they
are very troublesome again. Five or six
years ago, just after | first came out,
we had terrible times with them. Vast
numbers of cattle were driven off; the
sheep they less seldom take, because they
cannot travel so fast, but they do drive
them off sometimes. You are now the
furthest settler, and consequently the
most exposed. Your estancia is strong
y
ed and good shots. You are. l think,
in that respect, safe, except from sudden
surprise. The dogs are sure to give an
alarm; still l should sleep with every
thing in readiness
This conversation caused Mr.. Hardy
great uneasiness. 1t was possibility hs
had been quite prepared for; but he coula
not feel that the danger was really al
hand withopt an anxious feeling. His
thousand sheep had cost him twelve hum
dred and fifty dollars, and his cattle as
much more. The lambing season had
come and gone, and the flock of sheep
had doubled in number. The cattle, too
had greatly increased. and the sheep
were nearly ready for shearing. Alto
gether the value of the stock was over
FIVE thousand dollars. The loss would not
be absolute ruin. as he had still three
thousand dollars of his original capital
in the bank at Buenos Ayres; but it
would be a very serious loss.

passed Cavite, the sunken hulls of the Spanish
fleet of May '9S recalled vividly the battle, the
roar of cannon, the shout of sailors and officers
that must have taken place to send them there
The old church that was bombarded was plain
ly visible though five miles away. Another
army transport passed us outward bound. and
three lay at anchor near the city. Two admi-
rails hagships were there also, and few days
later Admiral Kempf arrived from Hong Kong
making three admirals' flags flying in the bay,
the second time this has occurred in naval his

and SO shallow that big vessels cannot come
within three miles of the city. When our ship
came to anchor Uncle Sans steam launches
quickly came alongside and native lighter re-
lieyed us of over 500 sacks of mail. British
tramp steamers, with their long black hulls and
red keels, were anchored one each side of u.s.
and native cascos were busy unloading freight.
The tramp steamer is so called because it be-
longs to no specific line but does carrying trade

which have m ,de the English merchant marine

THE COMMISSIONER.

DON the voters of the Third
commissioner district will be
- called upon to vote for com
missioner to serve the district fol
the coming three years. The com
missioner's place is one of the most
important county offices we have.
1t is very important that we have
clean, honest, competent men to fill
these places.
The commissioner manage the
financial and business affairs of the
county; levy the taxes, build our
brigdes, look after our roads etc.,
and to a greater or less extent have
supervision over the other county
offices. In case of vacancy in
most of the county offices it is the
province of the county commission
ers to appoint to fill the vacancy.
1t then becomes very important
off ;e both from business and politl-
cal standpoint. Under the new law
there is a possibility of vacancy in
the county Treasurer's office. 1t
becomes a very important matter
then, for the Republicans to control
the county board.
No man, who claims to be a Re-
publican, no matter what may be his
friendship or personal preJudices,
can afford to vote the control of
this county into the hands of the
Democratic party. Should the Re-
publicans fail to elect, the county,
for the next three years, at least,
would be in the hands of the oppo-
sition. The Republican nominee,
J. A. Alleman, is a good man fer
the place. He is conscientious,
upright man. A clear-headed, hon
est, successful business man. He
has had the experience of one term
in the place and is entitled to an
other. He is a warm friend of Cha
mute and greatly interested IN her
enterprises and welfare. He is a
regular business patron of the city.
1t has been urged by a few who
are not familiar with the facts, that
