The Revenge
OF Murphy
BY JAMES BARNES.


AY 10 one knew the immediate 10
N cal!ty that had produced
Esss5sSssss Trooper Murphy. He claimed
SsASSsS lie was q New York 'bhoy,"
and held TO the distant metropolis as
if It were his native heath and natural
stamping ground. But such Il brogue
as Murphys could never have been
simply an inheritance 1t had the
touch of the sod in it, and his first
prattiings must have been heard in the
thick atmosphere of a smoky, peat sat
urated cabin
Murphy had just squeezed by the
regulations as to height and certainly
was not more than one or two penny
weights over the prescribed limit when
placed upon the scales. But he was
compactly built and natural born
cavalryman: he walked with an easy
swing, and If his legs were slightly
bowed, what of that? The first SER
geant said that Murphy had "glue legs,
the kind that fit TO horses ribs"
Murphy was a favorite too. His
laugh was catching. He had a merry
little high pitched voice and dancing
blue eyes and red hair, as crisp and
thick as rock lichen. If it had not
been for this heavy shock of hair,
Murphy's captain said, he would have
amining sergeAnt. There was full
quarter of an inch Of it. All this goes
to show that Murphy was but feet 4,
and that he weighed under $50 pounds.
So much for his personal appearance.
As to his age, it might have been % or
it might have been 80; at ell events, it
was something between. He claimed
to be 26
1t was a ''broiling hot day." which is
a trite and usual description to convey
the idea that the weather was uncom-
fortably warm. 1t had not rained for
nearly three months. The river, that
was within few hundred. yards of the
northeast corner of the parade ground.

stream that wiggled along through a

were nOndescript. Some wore their
canvas stable suits, loose and open
One or two were in undershirts and
faded blue breeches. Some wore boots,
some were in stocking feet. They had
ceased cursing the weather and were
all absorbed in one discussion.
81 seed the beginning Of It," said a
lanky, rather tough looking lad, who
was smoking a cigarette, with another
one stuck behind his ear, pen fashion.
Il seed the beginning of 1t. Murphy
wouldn't say why. but I know 1t was
something about the new girls at the
majors. The Dutchman's got fine lip
on him. It's good thing he doesn't
play the horn"
Here another man with q brick red
face and long, sunburned mustache
broke in. ut was a good fight" he
grunted. "but the big fellow would
have killed him. The way he mauled
him was unmerciful."

good effect here even before single

The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1901-10-31

There are many charges laid against
bots, but it is doubtful if they ever
really merited any of them. The bot
is developed in the stomach OF the
horse from the egg OF the gad6y,
which is laid by the mature female
somewhere on the skin where the
horse can lick itself handily. The
right side of the equine stomach is
lined with velvety appearing sub
stance that secretes the gastric juice.
and to the tougher lining of the left
side the bots attach themselves after
Matching out. They adhere to this
tough lining by two small hooks, but
they are not provided with mouths,
and hence cannot eat They are nour>
ished by the absorption of digested
food through their skin.
That shows why there is no truth in
the story that the stomach of the horse
is sometimes eaten through by bots.
They cannot thus destroy the stomach,
for they cannot and do not eat. The
bot adheres to the lining described
through one season, till the following
spring, when in the course of their
growth the hooks let go and the bots
are carried on down through the intes-
tinal tract until they are voided.
Their subsequent growth TO the ma
tured gadhy need not be detailed.
Then the female lays her eggs again.
and the round goes on rs before. No
medicine that can be given the horse
will kill the bots. Anything that can
get through their skins will first de-
stroy the stomach Of the horse.
So nothing can be done to get rid of
bots, and no fear need be entertained
that they are going to do any great
damage to the horse Nature does not
plan to destroy in such tremendous de-
gree as would ensue If the bots could
eat the lining Of the horses stomach.
They may interfere somewhat with
digestion, if present in enormous num-
bers but in that way only, and the
writer can say with all truth that he
never knew any serious case of equine
Illness due solely to bots.-The Horse

The Duchess of WelIinrton.

The Duchess Of Wellington is better
known to most people under her old
name of Lady Arthur Wellesley. She
Is now the mistress of Apsley House,
one of London's stateliest palaces, and
it is said that she and the Duke mean
to entertain largely both there and at
Strathheldsaye. Apsley House is the
least known to society of ducal man
sions at the present day, but a good
many Londoners know 1t, for its last
owners used to sometimes allow mem
bers of the Sunday Society to visit it.
Apsley House was the gift of the ma
ton to the great Duke of yelling
ton, and every year until the end Of
his life the Iron Duke used to cele-
brate June IS by a Waterloo dinner In
the great gallery, royalty. foreign am
bassadors and the hosts old comrades
In arms being the guests.
The historic mansion will now, It is
hoped, once more be used for enter
tainments on a grand scale. BY the
Rye, the present duchess. who. was a
Miss Williams, is not the only lady
who bears the title of Duchess of
wellington; there are two others
