THE SPOTTED BRONCHO.
(Walt Mason, in Ainslee's Magazine.)

Stranger. let me sell you hoss, Ill

in ragged garments, was leaning against
the wheel Of his canvas-covered wagon
His horses we're lariated on the roadside,

closely drawn. and from within came
the sound Of moaning and sobbing.
The stranger alighted from his buggy
and cast knowing glance over the
weary, bony horses.

asked.
"The spotted one; and better chunk
OF hosehssh wasn't ever done up in hide.
Sure, he looks a little tough now; been
on the road all the way from Oklahoma,

'The woman. Gimme fifteen dollars

"I'll give you ten. That nore'n he's

II won't give mors'n ten; but say, that
woman must be sufferin' awful. What
is the matter?"
"Come and SEE"
He pulled the canvas apart at the
rear end OF the wagon, and stepped aside
that the stranger might look in. A wo-
man was weeping and wringing her
hands over a child's form lying on a
pile of horse blankets. The face Of the
child was drawn and white, but peace
ful. The woman looked at the stranger
with stony, unseeing eyes, and walled.
The stranger stepped back reverently
and closed the canvas.
Poor thingr he whispered. How
long has the child been dead?"

man, in a broken voice. "The last of

This moved DR.. Kingsbury, editor
of the Messenger. to write briefly Of
the famous ebony hued musician.
He says:
As so much has been written Of our
old friend Frank johnson, OF tiddling
and dancing memory, we will not be
reminiscent much as we might easily
be, Of one we knew personally AS we'll
as any man Of his color save those OF
his race OF our own boyish home. We
first heard Of him, and doubtless, saw
him. about 1885 or little later. He
visited Oxford often, and played much
at one Of the hotels owned by Mrs.
James INITIAL, an aunt, we believe, OF
Miss Jane Hawkins. who probably
owned Frank at one time. But OF
that we are not assured. We saw him
almost every year after about 1888.
He was a superior "iddlsr." master
Of the ballroom festivities, and a
very graceful, elegant dancer. All
OF his young folks" for fifteen or
twenty years who came in succession
danced to his music, and the young
men would go to Franks room at the
hotel and have old-fashioned "shin-
digs" and light fantasies" OF their
own. rewarding the smaster OF cere-
monies" with proper bestowments in
tho shape OF the antique and then
popular silver, with an occasional
gift OF monies that would gladden. the
eyes Of latter-day ''gold-bug."
Frank was universally polite, quite
Chest ertieldian in manners, and was
sure OF a "hearty reception on his
annual visits to Gold Granville. "
But the accomplished ..brothsr in
black" has long since chung up his
fiddle and his bow and nearly every
man and woman, every youth in the
flush and exhileratiOn of ebullient
life, in the far past, who knew the
accomplished master OF the violin,
who discoursed such enravishing
"sphere-descending music" have
gone long ago in the realms beyond
where there is no trumpet sound or
Orphean melodies ito draw trees,
stones or floods" and where to many
no doubt the "affections are as dark
as Ercbus," while others now listen
to the "seven-fold harmonies" Of the
angelic choirs in the City of God.
Frank had his day, played his de-
lightful music which stole through
every pulse and kindled rapture in
the coolest eye, and then the music
ceased forever, and the cunning hand
was still. Peace to the soul Of the
| sable old fiddler!

HATS WITHOUT FEATHERS.

There has been a meeting of the American Ornithological union in New York, and the members are setting tue excellent example of wearing hats without feathers> To those who have observed the output in the milliners' shops this season it will seem that these ladies must have exercised con- siderable ingenuity in order to supply the place of feathers with some other trimming, for most of the hats shown are certainly made mp in the main of velvet and feathers. However, those. who look for a thing can generally find it by looking long enough and :t is not observed that any of the ladies whO-belOng to the society in question have made themselves conspicuous on the street by unfashionable garb.
 1t may be noticed. nevertheless, that the trimming of hats with feathers has changed in one material respect; there Is no longer such q quantity of dead birds seen. and the osprey aigrettes which were fashionable some years ago are not so common as they used to be. This change is undoubtedly due in part to the fact that so much has been said about the killing of in- nocent birds for purposes of decora- tion that the average woman feels. without Knowing exactly why, that such decorations have an unpleasant association. Some of the feather trimming of the present season is ob- viously made from the feathers of birdsSwhich are used for food, and 1t is just as pretty as if it were made of some other kind of bird
 As a matter of fact. the time is slow ly coming around when feathers on hats will be replaced by some other. kind of trimming. The various nat ural history societies are making it more and more difficult to secure tie birds. and this in itself is more than likely to cause a change in the fash ion. for the majority of women cannot afford costly Injuries in this fine.

WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

The taking of ice from public lake in large quantities for shipment to market is held, in Sanborn versus Peo- ple's Ice Co. (Minn.), 51 L. R. A. s29, not to be an exercise of common right in such waters.
 In conflict with some of the earlier cases the Texas case of French versus state, 52 L. R. A. 160, holds that an agent of nonresident organ company, who travels by wagon with an organ, selling 1t, if he can, or taking orders for other organs which, when shipped to him, he delivers to the purchasers, is engaged in interstate commerce.
 That portion of Young Mems Christian association building which is rented for business purposes, although it is eventually to be used for the work of the associa tion, is held in Young Mems Christian association versus Douglas county (Neb.), g L. R. A. 123, not to be included within the exemp- tion from taxation of property used exclusively for school, religious and charitable purposes.

Tr.iumen Will Not strike.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 2S.-Railway trainmen decided officially and finally at delegate meeting held in the Ave nue theater yesterday that they would continue at work, notwithstanding the strike of the Switchmen's Union of North America. This means that they will take out trains made up by non- union men and that the switchmen who are members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will not join the strike of the other union. The strikers continue confident of ultimately win ming the strike and say the action talk en by the Brotherhood of Trainmen will not materially affect their cause.
