was both, crazy and dangerous, and there were few fellows in the bunch who would consent to ride him. One night the boss ordered his brother to catch up the outlaw and ride him on the rounds that night. There was heavy storm coming up and Bill opJec- ted in violent language to riding the horse, but the boss persisted. Finally, with an outburst of profanity, Bill de- clared he would not ride the outlaw
 He said when he died he wanted to be killed by lightning and not by crazy horse.
 "A few minutes later Bill saddled an- other horse and started out for the cat tie, repeating that when he died 1t would be by lightning and not by a horse. The storm had come up by this time, and when Bill reached the edge Of the herd, but a short distance from the wagon, the heavens seemed to open with g. streak of fire and there. was a terrific report that shook the earth. In the flash we saw Bill and his horse fall to the earth, and when we recovered ourselves we went out to the edge of the herd. There under his horse was Bill, and near the two bodies lay eight head of cattle. In the cowboys fore head was a small dent, the only mark left by the stroke. The rest of the out fit picked up Bills body and carried it to the wagon silently. There was hard ly word spoken all night, and the next day the remains of Bill were taken to the ranch and buried. For at least a week around that camp there was the most quiet and peaceful set of cowboys ever saw in my life, There was not a profane word used for a long time and the camp resembled Sunday school class.-Washington Star. e@.'

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

The Strange Effect on a Lot of Cowboys
 Caused by the Death of One of
 Them.
 While in Washington a few days ago John G. Wright, of Dauglass, Wy, the trainer of the horse Wyoming, which was presented to President Roosevelt, related number of interesting stories of cowboy" life, with which he was identified for a number of years. Among other tales of life on the plains MT. Wright mentioned an incident illus trating the effect upon the cowboys of a sudden visitation of providence. "One season." he said, "T was on the round up with a cowboy outfit in the hills of Wyoming. I believe 1t was the tough. est bunch of fellows ever saw togeth- CT. In the use of profanity they were all graduate professors and the irrev- erence that sometimes fell from their lips was almost blood-curdling. They seemed to have an utter disregard for any semblance of moral or religious ethics and in many other ways they were sabout the toughest proposition ever came up against.
 "The owner of the cattle ranch had a brother in the outfit by the characterls- tic name of Bill. Bill was, I think, the worst of the bad lot, and he never opened his mouth to speak without roll ing out a string of oaths. He was a hard sort of fellow, a good bronchc buster, and amost fearless.

He BIded His Time,

There lived, one time, a shiftless chap
 who wasn't satisfied: To settle. down and plug along he never could abide. He felt the fire of greatness burn within
 his eager breast And knew himself cut out for deeds the highest and the best. His spirit fairly fumed and frothed at cruel
 Fate's restraint; Of favOrless environment he ever made
 complaint. But some fine day, he used to say, I'll set
 the world afire; It's not for me unknown to be. when I do
 so aspire. Each day our hero might have found some
 labor to pursue. On every, side stood waiting work for will

CoNOUERING DEATH IN MANILA

The United States cleaned Havana so thoroughly that yellow fever couldn't
 live there. and it is cleaning Manila
 The death rate in Manila was formerly
 very high. Now it has been reduced to reasonable figure. The average an- nual death rate for 1900 was is, in 1901
 it was ss. in 1902 1t came down to 30. and in 1903 thus far 1t has stood at 22.
 This is reduction of more than one half. And it must also be remembered that the presence during the last two years of Asiatic cholera and the bu-
 bonic plague has naturally done much l to maintain high rate. Furthermore, | the prejudices of the natives have off, ten been an obstacle. The health au- ! thorities. it is said. have also had to contend wi.h the fact that there had
 been no compulsory vaccination in the 1 city prior to American occupation, and | this great work of prevention had to be
 taken up and prosecuted against the strong opposition stimulated by native
 prejudice. Plague, cholera and small-
 Dox have been present in Manila con- stantly all this year. but the cases
 have been so promptly found and so strictly dealt with. that they have not
 spread disease and have been rigidly
 kept under control. Good work. Having been compelled
 to reluctantly kill many of our little
 brown brothers 1t ought to and does give us special pleasure to keep many of them alive.

RAGING DAY.

A race to-day unless there is too much or too little wind. The talk is that there will be more wind than there was Thursday, and we may therefore hope that the yachts will at least be able to get over the course. Sir Thom- as continues cheerful. This is the way he is reported as talking: 'Others may hold different opinion, but am better satisfied to-day that Shamrock did bet ter work while the wind lasted yester- day than Reliance. I am better satis- fled with the boat than ever before. ' Do you recall" he said. "that in all the previous Shamrock races when the contests were called off Shamrock was leading, and," he held a silver mounted rabbits foot in his left hand, 'yester- day for the first time, Shamrock was behind. A good omen, don't you think?" This is coming out strong in the face of disappointment, but Sir Thomas has often shown that he can do that. If Thursday didn't tell the story about the quality of the yachts as many think it did, to-day ought to- Meanwhile, let us continue to rely on the Reliance.

THAT MAY HAPPEN.

New York will always, or for a long time at least, be New York, but it may not always, or for long time, continue to be the greatest commercial port of the country. For the first eleven months of the fiscal year just passed the value of the breadstuffs and provisions ex- ported through Galveston and New Or leans increased $14,00O,OOO, while for the same period there was decrease of $S,OO0,000 in the value of the same com- modities exported through the Atlantic, ports. This state of things causes both Galveston and New Orleans to swell
 with honest pride, and it causes the New Orleans Picayune to thus proph- esy: It is not premature to predict that New York will not much longer remain the great commercial metropolis of the Western Hemisphere That function will be transferred to some city situated on the shores of the Mexican Sea. the Mediterranean of the West, where the grand ocean gate will be nearest to the vast cities which will grow up in the heart of the Mississippi valley, the rich- est and destined to be the most popu- lous region upon the globe. At that time the mighty Mississippi river will be grand highway of commerce, and it will not be too much to say that on the wharves of New Orleans the com- merce, of the river, of the rail and of the ocean steamer will meet and be ex-

 or even three. camels. according to their size. Iron bars which give them cage like appearance were originally intend ed as defense against robbers and the carts were probably also used for the conveyance of prisoners. 'The most picturesque property of the Punjab government" says John Lockwood Kipling, 'is a huge char-a-banc, to which is harnessed team of four or six fine canlels with leopard-skin hous- ings and gayly attired riders" Neither camel nor bullock carts command them selves much to the western traveller, but in out-of- tlie-way places the latter are often found very useful.

f FE5E%. ANOTHER NEW CURE.

Yesterday we gave our readers the benefit of a new cure for insomnia. To-day we set forth a new cure for cramps. It is the invention, or discove- ry, of MT. Charles Palitz, a driver of horses in New York. Mir. Palitz was found hanging with a rope around his neck in a stable at 425 East Seventy first street Wednesday night. Life was almost extinct when Patrolman Hugh Maguire discovered Palitz and cut him down. He was taken to the Presbyte- rian Hospital, where it took two hours hard work on the part of the doctors to revive the driver. When Palitz was ar- raigned in court yesterday morning Magistrate Barlow asked him why he had tried to end his life. T wasn't try ing to kill myself, your honor" said Pa litz. T am troubled with severe cramps all over the body once every month, and the only way I can stop them is to tie a>rope tightly around my neck and then suspend my body in the air. I've been doing it for years Fl What will you do if no one comes around to cut you down." asked the magistrate. "oh, there's always some one around" said Palitz. Anyhow
 that's the only thing that will cure me
 and I've got to take the chance" .
 This new cure for cramps is rather severe one. but there can be no doubt that if faithfully carried out it will cure tbem. .- ~.,". .
