SEASON FOR DEHORNlNG.

Winter is the time of the year when

herded, corraled and shipped closer to-
gether than they could be did they
wear the great spreading horns with
which the popular mind associates the
Texas steer.
Out on the big ranches they round
the cattle in for dehorning. The de-
horner is as much an expert in his line
as the rope thrower is in his. The cat
tie are cOrraled and at the exit, where
but one steer may pass at time, is Il
small pen, called the stock At the
closed end is an opening between bars
sufficiently large to lead the steer to
thrust his head through Three men
stand waiting for him. One of them
throws down wooden bar which
clamps the animal in vise-like grip
and holds his head where he has thrust
it. The dehorners stand upon the right
and left. They carry long handled
steel clippers. and when the steer is
caught in the stock they throw these
over the horns and snip them off in a
jiffy. The bar is raised and the steer
Is released to make room for another.

Chinese Commitments.

There is one point in which Chinese
etiquette. so often absurd, is much
more sensible than ours. That is in its
failure to regard the imputation of ma
ture age as discredit to either man or
woman, or, on the other hand. the i'm
putatiOn of youthfulness as a compli-
fnent to persons of either SEX An eX-
ample of Chinese po,iteness, connected
with the visit of the Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia to Shanghai. is
amusing, as it reflects on our own false
notion of the complimentary in such
matters.
The German prince and princess were
visiting notable mandarin, one Of
whose first questions to the prince
this being an invariable matter of Chi.
nese pOliteness-was:
"How Old are you?"
"a little more than thirty-siX," an.
swered the prince. smiling
Indeed" said the mandarin. Your
highness appears fifty"
The mandarin then turned to the in.
terpreter-Iierr Noight, German--
and inquired the princess age. She an
swered. "Thirty-two." The Interpreter
interpreted, and the mandarin made a
remark in Chinese evidently intended
to be complimentary. The Interpreter
blushed uneasily and hesitated to
translate the remark. The prince saw
the difficulty, and laughing,y com.
manded:
"Out with it Noight!''
''He says" the Interpreter then trans
lated to the princess, that your high
ness looks like sixty"
He had meant it well, and of course
the princess had sense enough not to
take it i'll.
The sweetest tYpe of heaven Is home.

CAPTIVE WOLF LEADS
OTHERS TO SLAUGHTER.

For several months Wendelin KriSch,
has at frequent intervals appeared at
the County Clerks Office with wolf
pelts on which he has been paid the
bounty Of SIT apiece. In the aggregate
he has drawn II large sum. The sue
cess of the trapper has caused consid-
cradle speculation as to the methods
he followed, the wolves being very
cunning, stunning poison and not often
being trapped. Now Hrisch's secret
has leaked out.
1t develops that some months ago he
managed to catch female wolf in a
trap. He built large yard near his
shanty and in it keeps the wolf. fast
ened to a long chain. Her bowls bring
wolves from miles around. and the
trapper, sitting in his cabin. calmly
shoots them at his leisure.
In every section of the peninsula the
wolves are reported unusually numer-
GUS this year. The deer in consequence
are suffering disastrously. as the many
carcasses seen in the woods testify,
and lately even men have been at
tackled. Only day or two ago there
was Il case of the latter kind in Dickin-
son County. Claude Freckleton. en-
ployed as cook at logging camp six
miles from FlOodwoOd. started in the
evening to walk to the village. When
half the distance he heard something
running toward him. and, turning, saw
wolf close by. The man, not being
armed, was badly frightened.
The yelps of the wolf were answered
by others. and soon four more of the

as no doubt it often is. by some anus
ing incident.
When Mr.. Cleveland was at Weldon,
n. c.. during his first term, great
crowd shook hands with him. In the
middle Of the line was long. lank
countryman who took the greatest In.
terest in the scene.
At length he reached the President,
and grasped him warmly by the hand.

dent?
Yes" replied Mr.. Cleveland. Il an

and, looking the President up and down
and from one side to the other, he ex-

The President smiled and the crowd
laughed.
At another time Mr. Cleveland was

intrOducer. as gentleman stepped for
ward to shake hands.
1t had been intended that the other
teachers should follow in turn. but
somehow a idated-lOoking old
tramp had slipped into line just behind
DR.. Lucky. AS he shuffled up to the
President there was a pause. Nobody
knew his name. and even the tramp
seemed to feel embarrassed.
The President mended the difficulty.
He extended his hand, and with more
than his usual cordiality he said. In an
encouraging tone:

Is Dr. Unlucky. presume"
The old tramp's face relaxed into .

Standing upon a mound near her, she
places her hands to her pretty mouth,
and. with a simple eloquence that cannot
be toe highly commended, cries "Hi"' to

Whether the breeze has played traitor,
Or whether the bending figure is of so

he never stirs or lifts himself from his
task, whatever it may be. Nothing
daunted. Griselda returns to the attack.
"IIir cries she again, with a sharper,
freer iutonation. And still nothing comes
Of it. The bending figure refuses to
straighten his back. and things remain as
before. 1t is really too bad. Getting
DOWN from her mound she Chambers up on
a higher bank, and once more sends out
her voice upon the world:

il compelled to acknowledge this tribute
to his virtues. my good man. uprears
himself, looks vacantly round hm-at ev-
cry point but the right one first, and at
last sees Griselda. The effect produced is
not only instantaneous but marvellous
Down goes his rod. his cast, his choicest
1y-an admirable orange grouse-and he
comes steaming toward her at about
twenty knots an hour.
His eyes, ever since they first lighted
upon Grselda. have seemed to grow tc

too sees and recognizes him. The knowl
edge thus gained 50 surprises her tina,
she very nearly falls off her high bank
and then grows very charmingly rosy

other than the young man who had helped
to restore the carriage to its Legitimate
