HER HOUR OF TRIUMPH.
She Rejoiced When the Horse Ha
Kicked the Buggy to Pieces,

She Rejoiced When the Horse Had
Kicked the Buggy to Pieces.
Some neighbOrs and friends of ours
had a horse called Alcade, says Horace
Yuchell in his interesting description
of California life; and thereupon he
goes on to relate an incident in which
the horse played an important part.
Alcade was a most respectable horse,
but like all of us he had his falling;
he would flick his tail over the reiBs.
So one day my friend, when about to
take his wife out for n drive, tied down
Alcade's tail so tightly and securely
that not a wiggle was left in it.
Now, it happened that only that
morning my friends wife had turned
on the WHITEWATER, you must under

ranch in Southern California-a~d,
alas! she had neglected to turn it off.
SO the water had flowed away; leaving
the family tank empty and cracking

lessness to pump many hundreds of
gallons of water! You may be sure
that he-he was an Englishman-told
his unhappy wife that she had COM
mitted the objectionable sin; and she,
poor soul, approaching the magnitude
of her offense, held her peace-which
is remarkable because she was a
daughter of the West.
Perhaps the husband was sorry that
he had spoken so harshly, and thought
that drive behind fast trotter would
establish happier relations between the
two who should be one. Be that as il
may, after the drive was over he began
to unharness Alcade, his wife standing
by and talking to him.

They Are the Flestest Of All Four
Footed Animals.
Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
ble. Some remarkable statistics in re-
gard to this have been gathered by NJ.
Dusolier. n French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on bi-
cycles OF, in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance ls shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between so
and 90 miles In one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite As well. II not better.
Nansen met one Of these foxes on til"
ice at point more than 70 miles north
west OF the Sannikow territory. which
is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic coast. F.
himO and Siberian dogs can travel 4
miles OH the Ice In I'VE hours. and ther,
Is one case on record In which n tear
Of Eskimo dogs travelled 6I9 miles H.
2S minutes.
According to NJ. DusoIier. the speed
Of the shepherd dogs and those used In
hunting ranges from 10 TO Is yards &
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate OF IS to 10 miles al
hour. and they cnn maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift.
as is proved by the fact that n dog Of
this breed once beat . Thoroughbred
horse. covering fsur miles I'm GEa min
utes, which was at the rate Of nearly
1S yards second.
Greybounds are the swiftsst Of oil
four footed creatures. and their speed
may be regarded rs equal to that OF
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
which are carefully selected and which
are used for couPsiBg, are able to COW

How great IN achievement this Is
may be Judged from the fact that n
