before the Tennessee society at st.
Louis on Jackson day. His peroration
was as follows:
ITO you, sons and daughters of
Tennessee. who have left the old
homes and cast your fortunes with
this splendid and prosperous city. and
linked your lives with the destinies
of another state, it may be that, as
revolving years bring gray hairs, dim

the sinuous arms of the Tennessee

bathed III the turbid waters of the
mighty Mississippi! Grand and ma
jestic she lies-her bosom heaving

riches and power. her head crowned

The average cayuse pony taken to
the Linntol abattcir yields only about
sixty pourds of merchantable meat,
the rest OF the carcass going into fer

is carefully picked in ticrces. and Is

Gigantic Engineering

The proposed draining of the Zuyder

Tor the past century, is popularity look
ed upon as an engineering problem in
iand reclamation without parallel in
contemporary history. The land that
would be'reclaimed by this work would
be about 75O square miles.
In comparison the Engineerings
News refers to a work Ia this direction
now being carried out along the Mis-
sissippi which will reclaim tract OF
land $500 square miles in extent. The
work OF retaining the St Francis ba-

sary to complete the artificial banks
which are to hold in check the food

A comparison Of the extent of the

The horse-pickling works at Linn

cayuse ponies are meeting better de-
mand now than for many years, seems
odd. but II is true-and there is good
reason for it.
While 10000 or more COW ponies
have gone from the ranges of eastern
Oregon this year to supply the needs
of the British armies in South Africa
and thousands are yet to go, and the
price paid has been very satisfactory
TO the producer, the fact remains that
great numbers of scrub ponies are left
on the anSes-ornery, unbroken. in
tractable, useless little brutes, cunsum-
ing feed that ought TO go to the fat
tening of meat cattle. The British
army will take smaller animals than
win find a ready market elsewhere,
but they must be sound and,well bro
ken to ride Thousands of the cayuses
will not meet these specifications. Not
only will they not bring S35 each from
the British, but they are not wanted
at any price-by the British or any
body else. They are either not sound
OF wind and limb, or are untamable
or both They are a drug on the mar
ket. They belong to anybody who
cares to put brand on them They
are wild horses, and nobody wants
them; but each OF these animals takes
as much range as would be required
for the sustenance of steer that will
dress 1000 pounds. The stockmen
want the range for their cattle, and the
railroad companies are glad TO assist
in taking the useless cayuse ponies
out Of the country, so there will be
more room for stock that will yield

Houston A. Ward.
| first thought of ascending the tree. but
doubling whether he could perform the
feat, he yielded to the girls hand and
quickly sprang upon the horse behind
her.
AS the noble animal turned. the
horns of the steers crashed against the
tree and several of the big brutes fell
headlong. rolling over the very spot
where the rescued man had been lying.
Their carcasses were trampled to Jelly
by the sharp hoofs of the flying herd.
The sure-footed horse bore the In
dian girl and the Texan away at the
top of his speed, but more than 500
head of furious beasts were close
to his heels, and it was fourM Is to a
place of safety.
Ride straight to the river" shouted
Ward, as soon as he was able to COM
mand his voice.
II know; I know" replied the girl.
Maybe we can turn out of the way
pretty soon," she added.
The earth seemed to tremble as il
convulsed by an earthquake and the
air was filled with a roar more appall-
ing than the noise of cyclone Ward
turned his head and he was surprised
to see the red eyes of the mad brrtes
and their white horns almost at the
horses tail
Striking the foaming flank of the
horse with his hat he shouted
'On, on Lola, or We are LOST"
She turned her head and looked into
his eyes.
Let me slip off, she whispered
THE horse could save you; l am too
many"
The Texan comprehended her mean
ing and in that moment of peril he re-
allied that the Indian girl loved him.
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
him, he instantly grasped her in his
arms, and it was in that moment OF
peril that their troth was plighted.
The horse came upon smooth ground
and in a short time he began to get
farther away from the herd.
Right there" says the Texan. Il
made up my mind to love that little
Indian girl forever and l resolved that
il we escaped the danger that pursued
us would do everything in my power
during life to make her happy"
The noble horse continued to in
crease the distance between his heels
and the sharp horns of his pursuers
until he again encountered rough
ground.
Ward at this moment for the first
time thought of his pistol, and hurried
ly drawing the weapon he poured
stream of lead into the faces of the
cattle.
Ward turned his head, and with
shout of exhultation he threw his hat
into the faces of the leaders of the
stampeded herd as the horse plunged
into water that the flames could
not cross. The Texan knew that the
hot steers would stop to cool their
parched tongues, and when the horse
had crossed the river he pressed a kiss
on the Indian girls cheek and whis-
pered to her:
You have saved my life, and II be-
longs to you"
And he will keep his word.
