UNCLE ABNER's VIEW.

II people always tried to take the good
advice they git
Ihey'd have to start out early and they'd
find no place to quit;
Ihey wouldn't have no time to set and
fret and stew around,
And probably they'd have to let their
crops rot in the ground;
tomorrow they would have to spoil the
work they done to-day,
For every man you meet is sure to know
some better way;
Most every day it tickles me just thinkin'
that 1 live
Where people amt compelled to take adj

The time my wife got sick some said to
send for DR.. Brown,
But oth"rs said DR.. Gray beat all the
rest 'a town;
They told ME of their failures and the
cures they both had made,
Some run Gray down, some said that
Brown was no good at his trade:
They brought in medicine and told OF
other kinds to buy,
And everybody had some plan they
wanted me to try,
But Liza Ann she just said no, she
wouldn't take a bit
OF what they brought, or let me buy
the stuff they said to git
1t troubled me a lot because I couldn't
make her say
Which of the two her first choice was,

He declared the Indians were in the
hills by thousands, and were going
to take Hay and the young lady
away off somewhere to be held for
safe keeping. He said the two
troops that, never even hating at
Frayne, had pushed out on the trail,
would only get into trouble if they
tried to enter the hills from the
south, and that they would never
get the captives, wherein Pete was
right, for away out among the spurs
and gorges of the range, so miles
from Frayne, the pursuers came up
on the wreck of the wagon at the
foot of an activity, up which force
of Sioux had gone in single file.
Many warriors it would seem, how
ever, must have joined the party on
the way, and from here-where with
the wagon was found Hays stout
box, bereft of it's contents-in four
different directions the pony tracks
of little parties crossed or climbed
the spurs, and which way the cap
tives had been taken, Capt. Billings,
the commander, could not determine.
What the Sioux hoped he might do
was divide his force into four de-
tachments and send one on each
trail. Then they could fall upon
them, one by one, and STAY them at
their leisure. Billings saw the game,

during the earlier hours of the day.
He found that good lady in state
of wild excitement and alarm. One
of the two outriders who had started
with her husband and niece at dawn
was mounted on u dun-colored pony,
with white face and feet. One of
the two troopers sent by Dade to
overtake and bring them back, was
turning blown and exhausted horse
over to the care of Hays stablemen,
as he briefly told his story to the
wild-eyed, well-nigh distracted wo-
man. Six miles up stream, he said,
they had come suddenly upon dun

with white feet in air and white muz-
zle bathed in blood; bride, saddle and
rider gone; signs of struggle in
places; no signs of the party, the
team and wagons anywhere.

the spot. Old Crabb was called at
once, and mustered four semi-invalid
troopers. The infantry supplied half
dozen stout riders, and, with a
mixed escort, the general, accompa-
MED by Dade and an aide-de-camp,
drove swiftly to the scene. Six miles
away they found the dead pony
Seven miles away they encountered
the second trooper, coming back. He
had followed the trail of the four
mule team as far as yonder point, he
said, and there he was met by half a
dozen shots from unseen foe, and SO

the point or on the banks of the
rocky ford beyond; but, in the shall
lows, close to the shore, lay the body
of the second outrider, shot and
scalped. In a clump of willows lay
another body, that of a pinto pony,
hardly cold, while the soft, sandy
shores were cut by dozens of hoof
tracks-shoeless. The tracks of the
mules and wagon lay straight away
across the stream bed-up the oppo-
site bank and out on the northward-
sweeping bench beyond. Hays ia
nous four, and well-known wagon,

spirited away, not toward the haunts
of the road agents in the mountains

Queer Goldfish.

noted for the beauty of its tail and the
abnormal length of its fins.
The tail resembles q delicate veil,
and the fins are developed to such an
extent that it is impossible for the
fish to make rapid progress in the wa
ter.
1t is therefore solely on account of its
beauty that it is priced and because in
this respect it differs widely from 9th

telescope fish," the eyes of which
bulge out of the head in most insight

Gorgeous Styles In Vogue on the
East Side In New York.
One of the most necessary adjuncts
is the equipment of badges. For an av-
erage ball about forty of these are re-
quired, and they are made up on a scale
of magniiicence that evidently appeals
to the east side committeeman. The
floor manager and his assistant have
the most elaborate, rivaling even that
of the president of the association un-
der whose auspices the festivities are
given, says the New York Mail and
Express. The secretaries, correspond
ing and financial; the treasurer, the
chairman of the committee of arrange
ments and his assistants are all pro-
vided for, as well as the sergeant-at-
arms and the marshal.
These badges are from two to four
inches in diameter, of pink, white, blue
and green silk ribbon, with tinsel ga
lore, and on the rosette in the center
the initials of the association and the
rank of the wearer. The badges for
the Sergeants-at-arms and marshal have
miniat ,le p@;;2eman's clubs as an addi-
tional decoration.
1t is the custom to place these badges
in frame and exhibit them in some
favored window, flanked on either side

ENGLISH Deer Hunting.

The running of the deer begins In
November, and it is said they often
take as keen an interest in the hunt as
their pursuers. The hounds are never
allowed to kill them, and the same
ones are often run for several success
sive years Twenty-Five of the heifers
and does are selected for the seasons
sport, and two are usually run in q
week. The one chosen for the day Is
drawn in a queer looking two wheeled
covered cart to the appointed place.
The back of the cart is lowered until
1t is level with the ground. When the
door is opened, the deer steps out, shifts
the air, with his head up, and takes a
sweeping glance around before he is
away like a shot. He is given five
minutes law" while the well trained
hounds and horses stand tremblingly
Impatient to be off in pursuit.
The old English staghounds have be-
come extinct, and foXhounds, bred for
the purpose of the chase, have sue
ceeded them. So fleet are they that
the horses become jaded in their eff
forts to keep up with them.-Century.

Ask EsWhy ?v

o. If boys could learn at school all about
education, that would only leave them
very dull persons. The object of their
education at school is to give boys men,

and its real test is whether it leaves
them always saying to themselves,
''Why? I do not know whether you
have ever thought about it, but all the
great discoveries of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
