regular army soldier who was in the

They had their own ponies, but
sometimes they would wake up in

at night with plenty of ponies. No
body ever asked where they got the
ponies. Seattle Post Intelhgencer.

Swallows Attack a Cat.

On the top of a disused chimney
in his back premises q man in Maid
stone, England, observed huge cat
endeavoring to reach a swallows

Of brickwork. The parent birds flew
around the cat, endeavoring to drive
it away. Not being able to do so,
they disappeared, returning in Il few
moments with nine other swallows.
These in a compact body charged
the cat with such force as to almost
dislodge it, and it hurriedly de.
scended to place of safety.

"Now let me tell you the strange
sequel. The very same week that
Buck made his prediction the Bar

Horny d. Minot, the leading spirit
and financial head Of the enterprise,
was killed in a railroad accident
while returning from Washington,
where he had concluded the pur-
chase of General Beale's ranches in
every detail save the passing of the
papers and paying the money. the
intention having been to subdivide
that immense estate Of 264,O00
acres.
"On Thanksgiving day Of the
same month came orders to close the
work, discharge everybody and
break camp. The following year
Allan Marvel, president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road, died after brief illness, he
having been the second hacker of
this great enterprise, 9nd soon fol-
lowed the death of Mr.. Magoun of
the great banking house of Barring,

"What became of Buck?" I asked |
as the colonel paused.
"Buck? Just read that clipping"
and the colonel took from his pock-
etbook worn bit Of newspaper and
handed It to me. It read as fol-
lows:

Mr.. CIeveIand's Views

According to his own words, ex'
President Cleveland views the pol
itical situation in New York with
satisfaction. 81 am greatly pleased
with the action of the New York
Democratic Convention, Mr..
Cleveland said, 81 know the men
who have been nominated on the
State ticket and | have the high
est regard for them. 1t is II good
ticket and deserves to be elected. '
There is practically no probability
that Mr.. Cleveland will be able to
take an active part in the presi
Dental campaign. While he is
keenly interested in the progress
of the fight for the election of
Judge Parker, whose candidacy
he endorsed before the st. Louis
convention, the condition of his
health will not permit him, n
least at present, TO think of be
an active participant in
the contest.

AMONG The KAFFIRS.
GruntIng Seems to Be the Favorits
Way of Expressing Sentiment.

Way Of Expressing Sentiment.
The amount of greeting among OF
binary kaflirs is to say Il see you,
to which answer comes back, Eyes.
When a native passes European
in the uncivilized parts of the coun
try, says Mr.. Dudley Kidd in 9Th
Essential KafIir," he will frequentl,
anticipate the white mans II SCI
YOU" and will start off with a louc
"Yes."
Of all ways of expressing senti
ment, grunting is the favorite, ant
the kaflir grunts with great elo
quence. His simple grunt can ex
press a whole world of sentiment
After hearing natives express SC
much by grunting one cannot avoid
thinking that pigs might learn tc
speak.
kaffirs have many very expressive
EXPLANATIONS, such as "Yow when
they wish to show contempt
"Hau" when they show surprise
"Woww and many other similar ut.
terances.
In visiting a chief it is rude to
speak first. Accordingly, when We
visited KafIir king, We sat in silence
and pretented not to see him. At
length he looked up at US and said,
Il see YOU" and the ice was broken.
We grunted approval Of the senti-
ment and said the proper things.
When the questions began to be a
little too personal We told our ma
tive servant to fetch the blanket
We had brought with us in order to
open the chiefs eyes.
When We gave the chief the blan-
ket ne looked at it and gave a grunt
which was one Of moderate and
guarded approval. He felt the quail
tiles of the blanket with his fingers,
placed it to his skin to see how warm
it would be; he then showed it to
his councillors and asked them blunt
" what they supposed it had cost.
When he was satisfied that il was
better than any Kept by local trad
ers, he gave another grunt Of APP
proval which plainly said, Thank;
| think that on the whole it is not
bad; ] have seen better. but it will
do all the same"
Then he said IN words, "Now my
eyes are open and ! can see YOU" In
run | began to chaff him and said,
swell, if YOU can see us now, will
you tell us what yon can see?"
Swift as light came the answer q
shall know what | see when the
night is cold and ! wrap the blanket
about my body"
A native never commits himself if |
he can possibly help it. After lit
To more desultory conversation the
chief thought it was time to end the
Indaba, "to hem up the fringes of
The talk with the thread made from |
he sinew of an OK, as then express
We phrase runs. 20 we hemmed
I up.

"aSome ih3e years ago." said thu
colonel, y was engaged in making
a survey from Rogers, on the No
jave desert, to Antioch. We made
rapid progress toward Fort TETON
pass, and it became necessary to
check up the line, measuring dis
tances from government corners,
that the road might be accurately
located upon the filing map. This
work was assigned to al odd genius
whom ] will call Buck, man past
sixty'fve, tough as knot and as
wicked as a pirate. Frequently he
would set his rickety old transit
with the lens wrong end to, and aft
er trying to locate the flag for fif-
teen or tweAty m,nltes he would
discover his error, and then such
swearing as he INDUCED in is rarely
heard outside the forecastlc Of a
man-of-war. / sometimes think the
strange manifestation which ! am
about to relate 70 you might have
been due to Bucks profanity. Ger
tainly if man can ever have power
to summon spirits, evil or good, from
the neither world, Buck ought to
have had that power in no small
measure.
81 began the inspection of the
survey preparatory to the right of
way work, starting at Rogers, des-
olate station on the A. and P. road,
ON the borders Of an immense dry
lake, We made our first camp some
fifteen miles west of that point. The
regular survey camp was at this
time near Germans Station, under
the shadows of Mount Frazier. Our
camp was a rude settlers cabin, and
near it was a shack barn with lit.
tie hay stored in it. A well of fair
ly good water close by made a com
Portable camp a possibility. 1t was
late in October, and the water bad
risen near the surface in the bed Of
the dry lake. We had eaten our
supper the first night out and were
having a quiet smoke, looking out
over the desolate expansc Of desert
toward Lancaster, a station on The
Southern Pacific road, some twenty
FIVE or thirty miles to the southwest.
Buck had been entertaining us with
yarns about ghosts that he insisted

Ovens lake and was inclined to feel
hurt because | laughed at his tales.
"When darkness came Oh and only |
