fought ever since is lost. Again perhaps

The party had a jolly time going to
house keeping" The furniture for four
rooms arrived from the station a short
time after the party with their two old
soldiers besieged the place. 1t was all
opened up and put in place. The stove
was put in the kitchen, dishes washed
and placed. Three bed rooms were ar
ranged, the one furnished by the Sophie
Bibh Chapter. fhe one furnished by
Captain Amerne and the one furnished
by Mr.. b. Wolff. One of the ladies

Fresh is the theme as new found gold;
Love is an Immortel.

Crumbled the walls of keep and bower;
Flower and bird for aye in sight,
Sweet as the kiss of day and night,

LONG RIDE ON HORSEBACK
Without Any Remount, from Colorado
 to Indianapolis.

A thousand miles on a railroad train is a long ways for some people, but think of going that far on horseback, only stopping for meals and at nighti
 This is what William Henry Jacobs, a wealthy young man of Indianapolis, Ind, who arrived in Kansas City late Thursday night, is doing, and when he arrives safely at his destination or fails to do so with the same horse, $1,000 will change hands in Uenver. This is the amount of a wager on the trip, which was laid by two well known horsemen of the Colorado city.
 MT Jacobs, who belongs to the best social set of Indianapolis, is member of a polo club there, and is an ardent devotee of the game. He is the owner of several fine polo ponies, and is con- sidered a good judge of horsefesh. His mother, who is a widow, owns a large ranch at Kit Carson, Col. and young Jacobs went there three weeks ago for the purpose of selecting a Montana pony which he intended taking home for use on the polo neld.
 He went to Denver to visit friends, and while there stated that he was thinking of riding a pony from Kit Carson to Indianapolis, the exact dis tance by rail being 1.0S7 miles. This precipitated a lively argument among horsemen present when the statement was made, and MT Jacobs was asked if he would undertake the trip with one pony to decide a bet of $1 1000. He agreed, saying that he wished to make, the test anyhow, and that it would be all the more interesting when there was something at stake. 1t was agreed that he should start from Kit Carson June 1, and arrive at Indianapolis on or before July 4, with his pony still ''un- der him' and alive. He started on the date named and is this far on his long ride. The pony shows no other signs of the trip except that he is a little 'thin," and has a nervous, jerky way, which comes from constant plodding along strange roads.
 The pony which Mir Jacobs is riding was rounded up'' from the govern ment herd in Yellowstone Park and sent to. Colorado. He weighs S75 pounds and is just fourteen hands high. His color is seal brown, nearly black The rider weighs 120 pounds and the saddle and other luggage weigh fifty five, making the total weight carried 175 pounds.

 A pretty badge fos boys and girls bearing the words, ''Their protector or T defend them," might be ah in- ducement to aid young minds in thinking of kindness and tenderness towards animals, and taking the badge away for neglect of duty, and restoring it again when the matter is well kept in mind and lived up to, is matter of importance.
