STORY OF A
~FEZ ~

Whenever | see a tasseled Turkish
fez" saws a confederate veteran "I
am reminded of curious and grewsome
incident of my campaigning days.
1t was on the morning after the second
battle of Manassas" he continued,
"and several of us from my company
A,d gone over to the field in the hope
Of picking up few things that we
badly needed and for which the dead
had no further use-waterproofs. FOR
instance, and sound canteens. During
the previous days engagement, you may
remember that a regiment OF freshly
recruited New York zouaves held the
crest OF a hill and were charged and
almost annihilated by Hoods brigade.
They were moved down like ripened
grain, and fell so thickly that the
corpses literally carpeted the earth.
Well, we hadn't gone very far when we
came to this hill, and began to get
among the dead men. The poor fellows
had been mustered into service less
than a week before, and they were said
to be the most gorgeously uniformed
military troop ever organized. They
wore scarlet Turkish trousers. blue
jackets, embroidered with gold bull
lion braid and purple fezes with long
pendent tassels.
Il had picked up fez to carry away
as a relic, and was about to leave the
spot. when l happened to notice
much handsomer specimen on the head
of a little zouave stretched out few
yards away, with a handkerchief over
his face. stepped up to make
swap but had scarcely touched the
tassel when a low, sweet-voice under
the handkerchief said, Please DON'T!
For a moment" continued the vet
eran, that unpleasant protest, coming
from what l had supposed to be a
corpse, made my hair bristle on my
Dad. Then l lifted the handkerchief.
and was shocked to see the delicate.

after its usual fashion. A terrible
mountain storm blew up at midnight,
and the cattle, which were browsing
near by, became stupefied. The GUS
tomary plan of circling about them
failed to check the runaway. and soon
1000 head or more were coursing mad
ly down the gulch. The roughness of
the country, the blackness of the night
and the absolute madness of the cattle
made it impossible for the men to head
them off. When the storm ceased and
the morning broke 1000 mangled
beeves were found piled one on the
other at the foot of a tremendous cliff.
The pilgrims passed on and today
there still remains huge pile Of
blanched bones to mark the site of the
catastrophe. A few of the cattle. how
ever, the last to go over the bank, and
whose fall was broken by the mass be-
meath, managed to crawl out, MANNED
and bruised, to wander forth and
propagate and multiply into the herd
that now inhabits the valleys of the
Snake and Bear rivers. The other
solution is credited to the Indian de-
partment Cattle furnished to the va
rious Indian agencies were all branded
with Uncle Sans special II. D." 1t is
told that when the Indians were trans
ferred from the range of the White
river to their present reservations in
Utah, the department cattle were
hastily and carelessly rounded up and
sent with them. Later round-ups de-
veloped the fact that large number
of cattle had been overlooked. 1t is
supposed that the present cattle are
the offspring of others who escaped
the second and third of those haphaz-
ard round-ups.

OuaiIs for Sweden.

Lively interest has been awakened
in Sweden by the importation of
American quails. Count Claes Lewen-
haupt Of Fosstorjo has ordered this
spring more than 5000 quails, costing
$500, and still more orders are eX-
pected. The birds are sent in cages
fifty in each cage-constructed espe-
cially for the purpose. The small lot
of American quails which We're set
free in Count Lewenhaupt's estate at
Chaestorp last spring endured the win
ter well, and it appears that Sweden
has good prospects of an increase in
its game birds.

Smallest Pony on Earth.


A pony, from Iceland, is exhibited
at Paris that stands only thirty inches
high and it is regarded as a wonder
But he is a freak of nature. In Corea
the ponies are all freaks apparently.
Give Bigham in a book of travel in
China and Korea. says that no de-
scription can ever summarize all the
remarkable characteristics of the Ko-
rean horse, or rather pony. He is, to
begin with, only the size of a largo
Newfoundland dog. He is past mas
ter at buck-jumping. He never fails
to kick or bite any human being or
other animal that he can reach. This
is so much the case that at night he
has to be slung up by the girths un-
der his body his hoofs just off the
ground, while he spends his time
squealing and trying to savage his
stable companions. when not drinking
the hot, mashedup bean cruel that
forms his only subsistence. In the
daytime, however, he is a good beast
of BURDEN but no amount of coaxing
ever appears to change his disposition,
and he is always equally delighted to
punish the leg that mounts or TIE
hand that feeds him.
Variety may be the spice of life, but
most men seem to prefer cloves.

Gnmea at Chicago.

The luck Of Chicago in securing the
Olympian games for 1904 has aroused
wild enthusiasm in the Chicago Uni
versity. 1t is predicted that 1T will
prove a great boon for western athlet-
les. A special stadium will be erected
on the lake front. 1t is expected that
the games will cost the city between
SITE, 900 and 100000. The probable
receipts are estimated at 100000. 1t
is intended to form a company OF $780,
600 capital stock, divided into 10000
shares of par value of SO each, and
citizens will be asked to come to the

One of the most common questions
asked by tourists on the railroad
trains which labor through the can

explanation that it was caused by
snowslide answers the question, and
seems, no doubt, commonplace enough
to the tourist Those who leave the
rails and fare over the mountain roads,
and trails during the summer months
grow to have a certain respect for the
mighty forces that can strip the side
of a mountain and pile up timber and
stone in the valley below sufficient to
warm a city's houses and to pave
city's streets; but the man who really
appreciates the strength and destruct-
iveness of a snowslide is he who from
choice or circumstances remains in the
mountains through the cycle of the
seasons-the man who sees Nature

COUNT roLsrors COURTESY.
How the Russian Author Rebuked an H.
hammered Critic of Music.

Count Leo Tolstoi is one of the most
courteous and chivalric of men and
nothing grieves him more than to wit
ness an injustice done to others. He
is fond of music and plays well on the
piano. After tea the daughters and
guests usually arrange an impromptu
concert. Once, while young lady
was singing badly, the little ones made
a noise, and the count went to ask
what they meant by being so i'll man
nered. Don't you like the singing?'
he asked.
"That isn't singing" said one boy;
"she howls."
"And you desire to protest against
her howling?"
Exactly So"
"Then come with me and tell the
lady of your disapproval 1t will be
rude, but honest. To create q dis
turbance is indecent"
