BATTLE WITH A STEER

From Harper's Weekly.
The great event at Cheyenne this

twenty thousand people watched with
wonder and admiration a mere man.

ance of any kind, attack fiery, Wild
eyed and powerful steer and throw it
Picket chased the steer until he was in
front of the grand stand. Then he
jumped from the saddle and landed on
the back of the animal, grasped its
horns and brought it to Il stop within
a dozen feet. BY a remarkable display
of strength he twisted the steers head
until its nose pointed straight into the
air, the animal believing with pain
and its tongue protruding in its effort
TO secure air. A gain and again the
negro was jerked from his feet and
tossed into the air, but his grip on the
horns never once loosened, and the
steer failed in its efforts to gore him.
Cowboys with their lariats rushed to
Picketts assistance, but the action of
the combat was too rapid for them.
Before help could be given Pickett,
who had forced the steers noge into
the mud and shut off its wind, slipped
and was tossed aside like piece Of
paper. There was a scattering of cow
boys as he jumped to his feet and ran
for his horse Taking the saddle with
out touching the stirrup he ran the
steer to point opposite the judges

threw it. Twice was the negro lifted
from his feet, but he held on with the
tenacity of bulldog Suddenly
Pickett dropped the steers head and
grasped the upper lip of the animal
with his teeth, threw his arms wide
apart to show that he was not using
his hands, and sank slowly upon his
back. The steer lost its footing and
rolled upon It's back. completely cover
ing the negro's body with its own.
The crowd was speechless with horror
many believing that the negro had been
crushed; but a second later the steer
rolled to its other side, and Pickett
arose unnjured, bowing and smiling.

long and weary struggle between the

WILL GROW ITS OWN TIES
Pennsylvania Railroad Prepares for
the Needs of the Future

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has bought a large area of land in
Maryland and Delaware, and is trying
to buy more, for the purpose of grow
ing trees for railroad ties. To be desir-
able, from the point of view of the
company, land must be very cheap
Sc to $40 an acre-and adjacent to the
railroad. Farm land is preferred to
any other.
About three years ago the first step
was taken in the matter of planting
trees for the purpose of growing them
for ties. A large tract Of land was
purchased near Altoona, Pa. and $4,000
Mayer, agent of the real estate de-
partment, had charge of the work. The
trees were very young locusts and
spruces, and were bought at a nursery
near Harrisburg, Pa. Shortly after
wards large tracts of land were bought
and more trees set out until the num-
ber of trees in the ground was 100000.
The experiment became gradually a
fixed policy, and Mr.. Mayer was sent
all over the lines of the railroad in
Pennsylvania for the purpose of buy
ing up suitable and available lands for
tree growing.
Mr.. Mayer now has several large
tracts near Baltimore in view, and if
they are purchased trees will probably
be planted in early spring In 1904, up
to the present time SOC, 900 trees have
been planted. After planting 1t is es-
timated that tree will be ready to be
made into ties in about twenty years
The trees are usually planted about
six or eight feet apart. Recently very
large tract of land was bought in Penn
sylvania, near the Maryland line, and
the company is pushing its efforts to
extend its timberland well into Mary
land and Delaware Baltimore News.

General Officer of Forty Years Ser

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-"Never for fifty
years has England been in such a de-
fenseless state as she is at the present
moment.
"There is more chaos and a greater
lack of definite object in the present
war Office than there has ever been
before"
In these remarkable words "a gen
eral officer of forty years service" be-
gins, in u letter to the Standard, q
startling indictment of Great Britain S
present army system after the accom-
plishments of the Esher reforms so
warmly eulogized by the prime min
lister.
Anticipating the retort that Great
Britain's existing defenselessness is
due to the changes made by the Esher
scheme and is only temporary, the Off
Ger declares that, so far from these
defects being temporary, they are
likely to become permanent unless
some protest be made.
Il must not have it Supposed" he
said, that any soldier desires that
there should be reduction of any line
battalion with which he has been as
sociated.
Here it is obvious" says the officer,
that the secretary of state for war

But worse has followed. The army
council is aware of the fact that the

the greatest danger to England. es-
peclally at the present moment, when
the settlement after the far eastern
war looms in front of us.
ITO reduce cur military strength by

satisfied with the state of the Indian
army. Sir John French has offered his
resignation on account of his dissatis-
faction with policy which seeks to
circumscribe the usefulness of his COM
mand. Sir William Nicholson has
been relegated to Gibraltar to the re-
gret of the whole army. The one man
an the war office i'm whom The army
possess unbounded confidence is Sir
Edward Ward, and the chief aim of the
present administration has been to en-
deaVOr to reduce him to the state of

India with it's fun complement of sol
diers.

PITIFUL SALARY PAID TO

Saves Country Millions and Gets Only
Hundreds-Army Chiefs Some-

Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Feb. 1S--Sir John Fisher,
who has already proved himself, as
first sea lord, one of the most useful
servants of the state, is at the same
time one of the most poorly paid in
the first rank of public officials.
The man who practically by stroke
of his pen saved the country direct
expenditure on useless warships of
G3,000,000 without impairing the
strength of the navy, but rather in
creasng it's efficiency, is paid in addi-
ton to admiralty pay at the rate of
G15O0 a year, with a house in Queen
Anne street.
Experts are of the opinion that as a
result of his reforms there will be a
saving in the expenditure on national
defense of at least G6,000000 a year,
and Vanity Fair points out that if a
commission on naval savings were
granted to the first sea lord he would
be cheap al e50,OOO year.
Sir N. G.. Lyttleton, who Is supposed
to occupy an analogous position at the
war office. receives e25OO a year. but,
says Vanity Fair, "the army Is in a
muddle and the navy is stronger than
it has ever been since the death of
Nelson"
Lawyers and Ministers Do Better
Lord Selbourn, Sir John Fishers Off
cial chief, draws e45OO year and has
the use of house worth at least G6OO
or e7OO a year Mr.. Gerald Balfour,
president of the. board of trade, re-
ceives $4,000, and all the junior military
members of the army council draw like
amounts.
"a country that can afford to pay
e19,921 rs Cd to the attorney general
who is also paid by security of tenure
and by the promise Of contingent EN-
poyment in high judicial Office, as well
as by the grant of titles and distine-
ton" concludes Vanity Fair, "can af-
