Thrown from His Cab and Killed.

The following is the most interest ing and, in one respect, pathetic tale:
 MT. J. Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streat- ham, England, said:
 ''Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead horse bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was driving and killed poor chap, and a good sort too, mate. It was him, you see, who gave me that half bottle of St. Jacobs Oil that made new man of me- Twas like this: Me and Bowman were great friends. Some gentleman had given him bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which had done him lot of good; he only used half the bottle, and remember ing that I had been a martyr to rheu- matism and sciatica for years, that I had literally tried everything, had doctors, and all without benefit, I be- came discouraged, and looked upon it that there was no help for me. Well '' said Pope, You may not believe me, for it is miracle, but before I had used the contents of the half bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman gave me, I was a we'll man. There it is, you see after years of pain, after using remedies, oils, embroca- tions, horse liniments, and spent money on doctors without getting any better, I was completely cured in a few days. I bought another bottle, think ing the pain might come back, but it did not, so I gave the bottle away to a friend who had a lame back. can't speak too highly of this won derful pain-killer."

charge of assault with intent to kill. He had become involved in trouble, when IS years old, while defending an attack upon the character of girl cousin in a small Indiana town. After being held three months in jail with out trial he Overcame his guard and es- caped. He was soon rearrested and his penal servitude followed. While in prison the young man learned the shoe makers trade, and after his release he made his way to Columbus, arriving there without a dollar. He started q little shop and in time became one of the leading shoemakers of the State. He is now President of the Wolfe Brothers Company and his estate is eS- timated at $500,000. Soon after his ar rival in Columbus MT. Wolfe told the secret of his Imprisonment to a few friends. Afterward when he became successful merchant this information was used to extort money from him, and he was constantly the victim of set of harpies. He was so goaded with these demands that he finally decided to announce the secret himself.

ERoNTlER LIFE
Fascix ation Which Wild Regions Have
 for Some Men.


 It was nearing midnight when we en- tered Phoenix, Ariz. Price directed the way to corral where he was known, and where we left the animals feasting on fresh alfalfa, while we fared forth to see his friends It was precisely as though Price had invited me around to his club. He led the way to 8 saloon. and as we entered it saw at once its typical character. At the left of the en- trance was a bar, gorgeous with mir TOTS and cut glass, while down the deep recesses of the room were faro and rou- lette tables and tables for poker. The groups about them were formed Of ''cow punchers' and prospectors and "Greasers'' and Chinamen, and even Indians, all mingling and intermingling with a freedom that suggested that Ill gambling there is a touch of nature that makes the whole world kin.
 But more immediately interesting to US was a group which stood beside the oar. It was made up, as l found, or politicians, high in Territorial office, all of whom knew Price and hailed him cordially while asking after his luck. For some time we stood talking with them; then one of their number, him. self not a politician, but a business man, proposed our joining him at SUD- per. We accepted, the more delight fully, because he, of all the group, had most attracted me. Tall and very hand some, he had the bearing of a gentle man, and what he told me of himself confirmed my own impression of a richly varied past. Far into the night we talked, and I could well believe him when he said that the fascination of the life which he had led on the frontier had so far grown upon him that, while lie was glad to get back at times to his former home in New York, he could no longer remain contented there, hearing. as he always did after few months at most, the call back to the wild freedom of the plains. It was under the spell of what he said enforced by my little experience as "burrO puncher," that I went to sleep that night on a bed of alfalfa in the corral, and when 1 waken- ed in the morning and found letters urging my return to the East was con- scious of an indifference to the idea which was wholly new to my expert. ence.-Scribner's

WILD BEASTS IN BATTLE.
Two Panthers anI Sea Lion in
 Fight to the Death.

Two PantherS anl Sea Lion in a
 Fight to the Death.
 Among all fights of wild beasts per which the combatants belong to differ ent elements. The struggle then seems peculiarly Want0n and unnatural. Not long ago two men on a small island off witnessed such a battle. The men were amusing themselves watching the an tics of a number of sea lions on a reef when all at once the creatures began to below in alarm and dived into the water. One huge fellow alone stood his ground and moved his head slowly, as if watching.
 A moment later the men saw creep ing from the shadow of a rock two large partners, which had evidently swan oyer from the mainland in search of prey.
 Simultaneously the partners leaped upon their enemy and terrible combat ensued. For nearly thirty minutes il went on, till the reef was skirted with crimson foam.
 Twice the lion struck panther squarely with his flipper and knocked him dozen feet away. But the great cats kept to their work, and finally one of them buried his teeth in a fipper of the sea lion, and tore it off with single savage tug.
 Believing hoarsely with pain and an ger, the wounded bull caught the pan thers throat between it's jaws and dragged him into the water, but the big brute was weak from loss of blood. The panther escaped, and, with it's mate, swan off to mainland across the narrow channel, while the sea lion struggled out toward the ocean to die.
 The men went down to examine the field of battle A hole deep enough to bury horse had been dug in the soft mud, while the shore was stained blood red.-San Francisco Call.

In a recent article Count Tolstoi draws a portrait of his father. He was a large and handsome man, who d. ways wore clothes of fashion differ ent from that of others. He had a great contempt for the younger generation. His greatest passion was gambling. He won millions and lost them again. Nor al principles he seemed to have none He had his sentimental moods, and when he read aloud from a book his voice would tremble and his eyes moisten at a pathetic passage. He was fond of ordinary music-romances, gyp- sy melodies, operatic tunes-but frank ly confessed that Beethoven put him te SleeD

Some Stories Illustrating Boston Cor
 bstt's Impulsiveness and Courage.
 Sallie Bruner Houston tells the Smith County (Kan.l Pioneer a curious story of how she received the news of the assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley. She was years old at the date of the assassination of Lin coin, but she remembers that when the news came to her fathers farmhouse she leaned up against the big fire place and cried" while her mother wiped her own eyes with her apron" Of the assassination of Garfield Mrs. Houston relates this story:
 At that time we were living on our farm six miles south of Concordia, this State. Several of the family, includ- ing myself, were sitting in the yard with Boston Corbett, the man who shot the assassin of Lincoln. At that time Corbett lived on a farm near us. While we sat there my father came from town and brought the news of the shooting of President Garfield. Ev cry one who remembers Corbett re- members his impulsive nature. He was quick as a cat. The news seemed to electrify him. He jumped to his feet, saying: I wish I were there.' We all knew what he meant. There would have been no trial for Guiteau. All who ever knew Boston Corbett knew that he would have shot Guiteau on the spot had he been there. It was about this time that Corbett was ar rested on complaint of some of his Democratic neighbors for some petty offense and taken to Concordia for trial before a Democratic justice of the peace. He thought that he was not getting justice, so he drew his ever-ready revolver and ordered them out and thus cleared the courtroom. He then mounted his little black pony and went home There was a great deal of talk of having him rearrested, and several persons went to his home to do so, but did not have the courage to do so. As they always returned without him, the case was finally dropped"

The game of cards was 6r played in the east and seems to has se had a military origin. Cards were introduced from Asia into Europe at the time Oc the cruSadeS and were first used by necromancrrs to fOretell fortunes They soon became popular amusement in the south Of Europe. where the Sara cens and Mn0rs taught the people how to use them. and card playing spread 10 all parts of the continent The state records of Germany mention the fact that Rudolph l.. in 1275. was fond of the game and played with his court ierS.
 After the invention of paper the man ufacture of cards became extensive. but declined somewhat when card play ing was forbidden by several of the German states and by the English gov ernment on account of the supposed immoral tendency Before the era Of paper castiS in the orient were made of ivory papyruS and canvas ieSs Ire quently of ihe precious metals and quite commUHly of wood
