It was the Fourth of July in the
small town Of Los Plagos, and a cow
puncher in the crowd bet he had a
pony that would shake the teeth out of
a prairie hen.

soon a broad-chested, Well-set up,
mouse-colored pony, with the docile
eye of doe, stood before us.

hide" 1t was a Mexican who spoke.
The bargain was quickly clinched, as
money in a cattle town runs freer than
water, by the cashing Of twenty-five
shining silver dollars in the hand of a
stakeholder.
The Mexican secured his saddle and
drew the cfnch up without the slightest
trouble. His foot touched the stirrup,
then, with the quickness of a cat that
pony reared, wheeled, and like q pan.
Their sprang at the Mexican. One foot
caught him sickening blow full in the
face. Down he went like a sack Of
meal, clutching and conyulsively work
ing his fingers in the dust.
He was in the act of repeating his
deadly work when shot rang out and
the Infatuated beast dropped like a
trap, full on the PROSTATE body of the
Mexican
The pony was rolled off and rough
though gentle hands carried the Mexi-
can into the Red Raven. The blow
had completely crushed in his face and
he had passed over the long trail

that fact does not excuse us for
failure to strive to do what Is

The world still needs the workers though

That II owes the weary laborers an ever
lasting debt;
Without the busy toilers gold would cease

The things that please the palate or are
grateful to the eye;
The world still needs the people who must
labor day by day.
But the world keeps on forgetting, In its
easy-going way.
The lady in her satins. who is beautiful
to see.

without the busy toilers all the millions
she commands
Would not procure scented piece OF soap
to wash her hands;
Without the busy people who must labor
all their days
AL her money wouldn't even buy new laces
for her stays.
The magnate who looks proudly on his mill
lion-dollar yacht
Forgets to give the carpenter single kind
ly thought;
He ceases to remember as he sips his splen-
did wine
That without the ones who labor there
would be no fruitful vine:
He forgets that all his money wouldn't
clean the crumbs away
II there were no luckless people who must
labor day by day.
The ones whose names are famous. who are
high and great and proud,
Forget that pride would de without the
busy, weary crowd;
Without the ones who labor none could hope
for greatness here.

To one who knows what the vast
solitudes of northern Canada really
mean the dread of game cxtermina-
ton does seem rather uncalledfor. The
latest census of Labrador gives it
population of one man to every IS
square miles. This can hardly be called
an announcement crowding. There are
almost as many persons in single
East side New York block as there is
in the whole of Labrador. Why should
game become extinct in this region?
1 must confess / can see no reason why
the caribou and the bear and the other
animals should not live out their lives
Just as they have always done. The
number killed by man must surely be
quite insignificant. The same condi-
tons obtain in northern Ontario, the
greater part of the northwest terri
tories, and very large part of Brit
fish Columbia. The date is far dis
tant when there will not be sufficient
game and to spare for the sportsman
who is content to take the bitter with
the sweet and to leave behind the lux
uriousness of the fashionable resort.

Two world Powe<s.

When Bismarck retired, IL years ago,
Germany was no world power. She
was a country, which, in military
sense, was considered pre-eminent in
Europe, and which, by reason of the
tripartite agreement between her,
Austria and Italy, filed leading POI
sition, in political sense, on the COLI
tinent. But world power she was
not. The very word had rot then
been coined. 1t was before the series
of startling events that has since
transformed the whole situation in
the far east, and has brought japan
and China into the family of nations
as potent factors, says the Forum. It
was before the Spanish-American wa r,
which, in two hemispheres, projected
the United States into the very midst
of the political arena. There have sell
dom been ten years in the worlds his
tory which have wrought such rad
ical changes, changes of such far
reaching Importance, as those since
1892. The world at large has as yet
scarcely gained the right focus for
viewing those momentous happenings.
Next to this country it is Germany
that has most largely profited from
the new situation.-N. Y. Sun.

chummed him with two quarts OF
shrimp, have tempted him with yards
of blood worms at five cents per yard,
and yet he has not responded to my
wooing. / shall try one more cast,
and then we will pull up the anchor
and sail for home"
Three of the largest shrimp left in
the bait box he carefully impaled on
the hook. Then he dumped the re-
naming shrimp into the bubble and
yeast of the bay. They vanished like
snow on pancake griddle. The line
ran slowly out, carried by the tide
The twilight was deepening the breeze
freshening. Sea lettuce, weeds and
grass fioated down and lodged against
the throbbing anchor rope. The Sibyl
waved and plunged. Still the line ran
on and on until $50 feet of water had
been covered.
Suddenly the line lifted over the in
tervening burrows of water. The
point of the rod went up in the air.
The line frightened until it sang tune
in the stiffening breeze. and little
beads of water dropped from it into
the bay. Cynoscion RECALLS had come.
The angler braced his feet, for the
Sibyl was as uneasy as a yearling colt.
The fish had struck the hook in the
.white-plumed apex of wave, which
the departing sun had dyed vivid
crimson. In the red glare he shone
like refined gold. Urged by the resili-
ent rod and persuasive revolutions Of
the silver windlass, the fish came near
er and nearer to the boat, in narrow
ing areas of circle, crossing and re-
crossing the radiant waterway made
by the setting sun; the line cutting
little jet of spray before its tense
fiber.
Only once did Cynoscion reveal his
silvern symmetry as he darted through
one water furrow into another in the
effort to rid himself of that memorable
line. Frightened at the sight>of the
boat, the fish dove and tore Is feet Of
line from the willing reel and the UNI
willing angler But the hook kept his
mouth open. and he was slowly drown
ing. One despairing attempt he made
to rush under the boat, but the strong
wrist turned him, the landing net
slipped under him. and he was laid
tenderly upon the rounded. wave
swept free-board of the. Sybil. Rum

angler raised the fish.

he, land with a belly rounded like a
fifteenth century prior's."
Then he lay Cynoscion RECALLS
back upon the deck, a living jewel
bathed in brine. His sides were sill
very, with irregular dark, undulat-
ing stripes. His eye looked like a
spot of jet in circle of amber. He
lay perfectly still except for faint
motion of his fanlike rudder. As
the light touched his armor the
FURNISHED scales took on iridescent,
Kaleidoscope hues.
do you think he is dead?" asked
the angler.
"No, sir; he is only wind-blown."
The angler leaned over the side
of the boat and placed the fish gen.
tly in the water. He lay upon his
side, supine, inert. But the waves
handled him and the juvenescence of
old ocean trickled through his GRIM
son gills. His body began to tilt UNI
til It stood nearly on an even keel.
His dorsal fin rose like a sail on the
far horizon. Cynoscion RECALLS was
alive again. One fiirt of his mighty
tail, one heave of his virile, fexu-
Gus body. and he was gone. leaving
the angler wet with the spray Of
his parting SALUTE.
Two hours later the angler went
down an elevated railway staircase,
near Central Park West. At the foot
of the stairway carriage was wait
ing. In it sat a woman wearing an
anxious look.
"Oh, john" she said. II am so
pleased to see that you have come

of an opera. The composer was
Emanuel Moor, and the subject of the
work was taken from the story OF

Dickens found many of the odd
names of his characters on shop
signs. These he noted down on the
spot when they struck his fancy.
