which WAS The property OF IL cowboy
The pony waa known by the white
men 10 be II better racer than the other
animal. and the race had been ar
ranged for the purpose OF heeclng the
redskins. An lmpromptu course OF a
mile had been arranged and the race
was 10 be four times over the course.
The cowboys gave their rider instruc-
lions To hold the pony buck until the
finish. 81 uiat they could induce the In
dams TO make big bets
'The Indians horse took the lead at
the start and retained it. The cowboys
offered more money as the race nro.
:sresseii,4 and the Indians. seeing their
horse In the lead. took the wagers. So
1t went until three and half miles
had been covered and the Indians had
bet all their possessions against the
money Of the cowboys: Then the cow
boy rider put the spurs 10 the. pony.
He passed the horse IN the last quarter
and CROSSED the line Ave lengths ahead
There We're three Judges. Two OF
them were Indians, and the other was

boys and started to collect the bets.

Was Not a Murder Plot,

There had been repeated accounts
N the newspapers of attempted MUIR
der by means of poisoned candy or
other daintieS sent anonymously to
the intended victim. These greatly
excited the master of the house, who
was loud in his denunciations of the
stupidity Of those who would partake
Of food without knowing the source,
and which appeared so mysteriously,
roundly declaring that they deserved
all they got. In the midst Of what
appeared to be an epidemic of such
cases there was delivered at his own
door fine fish without card or word
of any kind to show whence it came.
The master of the house, forbidding
any one else to touch it, came down
promptly, and, armed with the kitchen
tongs, deposited the fish carefully in
the ash barrel, anchoring it we'll out
of harms way with a scuttleful or so
Of ashes. Presently returns the mes.
senger., The fish was left at the
wrong house.

The curious fact is pointed out in
at. A. T." that there is not now a
reigning sovereign in Europe whose
family is of the nation over which
he rules.
The house of Austria is in reality
the house of Lorraine, the Hapsburgs
being of Swiss origin. The king of
the Belgiums is of SAKE Coburg. The
king of Denmark is Holsteiner. The
king of Spain is an Austro-Bourbon.
The king of Italy is a Savoyard
The king of Roumania and Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria are both for.
eigners. The founder of the Berna.
dOtte dynasty in Sweden was a coun.
try attorney at Pau less than a cen.
utry and a quarter ago.
The car of Russia is a Holstein.
Gottorp, and the king of the Hellenes
is a Holsteiner. The British royal
family is Hanoverian. The Hohen
zollerns were originally suabians, and
are. therefore, partly Bavarians and
partly Swiss.

Wrong Flavor for BATH.

A travelling man who sells favoring
extracts registered at one of the large
hotels yesterday and told the clerk
that he wanted a bath. The city
water was exceedingly muddy, but
the clerk forgot that. He assigned the
guest to a room with a private bath
attached. Fifteen minutes later the
clerk was called to the house tele-
phone. 1t was the new arrival who
wanted him.
Hey" called the travelling man,
you've given me the wrong flavor
What do you mean?" asked the
puzzled clerk.
