THE kIANGs OF INDIA.
These Wild Horses Are vicious ana

WIG horses Are Vicious and
said tn Ne Unsnmabie.
Writing OF the kiangs. or wild horsex-
or India. found near the. land OF Tibet.
Thomas w. Weber I'm The Forests OF
Upper India and Their Inhabitants"
says:
Here for the first time we saw the
kiang. or wild horse. Several herds
came TO look at us as we marched and
galioped around, neighing and kicking
up. but kept at respectful distance.
Ihey have big, ugly heads and tails
and ears like a mules and a black
stripe down the back: color. light bay.
with white noses. They have fine free
action I'm trot and galiop and are four
teen TO fifteen hands high, strong In
the legs and heavy in the body. We
were welcomed by the neighIng OF nu-
merous wild horses to the land OF the
kiang. Several herds kept circling
round. the old stations approaching in
quite threa tening manner. snorting.
squealing and kicking up their heels.
while the mares and foals galloped or
at more respectful distance. There
was herd OF kiangs which careered
about our camp I'm n most objectiona-
BILE way. making the most fearful dis
turbances. We witnessed a battle roy
al between two stations. which for
ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any
hight have seen. Again and again
the pair went at one another like IL
gers. biting and kicking and mauIing.
the blood flowing freely. while the fear
full yeils and rOarS they kept up were
terrifying TO hear. This went OH for
hours. The horrible roars and Shrek
ings made by the wild horse when
lighting sound something like a noise
between n dOnkey's bray and the
squealing OF n jackal. but far more ear
piercing and discordant Here the
kiang is found I'm considerable num-
bers. He is. according TO the Hunia
accounts. untamable. There was a
young one purchased at Bagesar fair
from some Hunias for a small price.
The purchaser thought lac had n good
bargain and proposed to send the ami
NAL to England. but when his men
went TO bring away the purchase nc
power could induce IL TO leave - fos-
ter mother. AN old Abbot pony. which
the clever Hunias refused 10 sell ex-
cept for an exorbitant sum.

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
J0BPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount 10
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded aud the type jammed
too close together, with dirty-lookiug
ink aud finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper, it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, You don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade of paper.
The quality Of stationery reflects
the standing Of ones business. 1t is
therefore a duty you owe to Yourself
to have good printing.

most important and interesting gath
ering of it's kind ever held in Ameri-
ca. The agricultural department a.
Washington is taking an especial IN
terest in the convention, and word
has been received from Secretary
Wilson that he will have as many
scientists of that department attend
the gathering as can be conveniently
spared. The exhibition Of fruits and
cereals grown under irrigation prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
features of the congress. A number
of valuable prizes have already been
offered for the best exhibits and a
long list of premiums is expected be-
fore the exhibition opens. Senator
Clark of Montana is out with al Of
fer of a $500 loving cup for the best ex-
hibit of green fruits, and Colonel

THE HUMBERT TRIAL.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Attorney Labori
concluded his argument in behalf of
the Humberts this morning by de
claring that no dishonesty had been
proved and that money enough re-
mains to discharge all debts and. still
leave a surplus. He said that the only
real accused charged former Premier
Waldeck Rosseau and members of the
present cabinet with corruption in
connection with the case. The public
prosecutor was chosen because he was
known to be hostile to the Humberts.
The prosecutor arose and denied this
statement A duel of words followed
The judge intervened. LabOri threw
the first light on the mystery by de-
claring that Madame Humbert's birth
certificate produced in court by the
prosecution was not the real one.
Madame was nervous and kept inter
rupting Labori until he finally impe-
riOusly demanded her to keep silent
When LabOri concluded Emile D'Au-
riac commenced his address.
