ELKS IN CIRCLE DANCE.
Remarkable. Exercise in Which Bands
ct the Animals Take
Part,

But the grand curious amusement of
the elk, one which many hunters have
witnessed, may be called their circle
dance, writes Thompson Seton, in
Scribner's Magazine. Mr.. H. w.
Skinner, Of Chicago, sends me his OBJ
serva:;ons on this performances.
About four o'clock one afternoon
late in August, 1890, l was riding
northeast up small stream flowing
into one of the tributaries of the
Green river, near it's source in north
western Wyoming. The intense heat
was only relieved by an occasional
faint breath of breeze from the north.
My attention was attracted by a col
umn Of fine, dark brown dust rising
ahead of me and on the opposite side
OF the creek Il was on the south side).
THE column of dust looked almost
as it caused by whirlwind. On
reaching a point as close to it as /
could get without crossing the creek
l was perhaps 100 yards from it
found that it was caused by a band of
elk, numbering from IL to 20. who
seemed to be trotting quite rapidly
with occasional awkward. galloping
plunges in circle perhaps 80 feet in
diameter. They were going in the
same direction as the hands of a watch
in the edge of a little belt G& second
growth timber mainly, l think, quak-
ing asp.
"They were moving, not with heads
up, but with noses only foot or two
from the ground. My impression is
that they were all bulls. Owing to the
dense clouds of dust which occasional
light puffs Of wind blew almost to.
ward me, I could not see very clearly
1t seemed to me that they were run
ming about as milling cattle do, ex-
| cept that l never knew Of cattle to
mill in such small bunch. l have
| related this incident several times to
hunters and trappers, who could Offer
no explanation of it. There were large
number of elk in that country at the
time in bands of various. Sizes"
This remarkable exercise has no OBJ
vious relation to the sexual instinct OF

RECKLESS BRAVERY.
How Gen. Bernard G. Farrar and
Three Men Tried to Capture Half
Hundred Confederates.

Those who know Gen. Bernard G.
Farrar are aware that he served with

that more adventures befell him than
even he remembers now, for the years
that have flown by have dimmed them
into pleasant haze. There was one
experience of Gen. Farrar that he

but be that as it may, at the head of
his troops he made a raid down
through the swamps of upper Louisi
ana, his men lighting their way along
the corduroy road that led them
through the treacherous ooze by
torches of fat pine and in the very
heart of the enemy's country he cut
out and captured 1000 head of cattle
that were being driven eastward from
Texas to supply the confederacy with
much needed beef.
But. among all of Gen. Farrar's wal
memories there is one that stands ou
distinct and silhouetted against the
dim of the past as clear as cameo
and that one deals with a time whe1
he and three troopers from the Fourth

What Kansas Owes the Hen.

Nightingales, larks, swans and such
poetic fowl have been hailed and
hymned until the world is very weary of
them. Where is the robust American
bard who will write high with joyous
pen the harmless, necessary hen? Why
do our children read about those fab
ulous geese Ct the Roman capital? The
hens of Kansas are worthier subjects.
Here Is one years work of them: ST.
226,111 worth Of eggs, which, as Kan
sas economist does we'll to remind the
world. is interest at five per cent. on
$144,s22,22c. To say nothing of "broil-
ers" and other by-products. Kansas
hens make more money for Kansas than
do Ter sheep, wool, barley, flax, fruit,
sorghum, oats, potatoes. The hen should
be the bird of Kansas as the eagle is the
bird of freedom. --Everybody's Maya

Badly Expressed.

Maybe some people don't misuse the
English language" remarked the young
student. Sometimes have to laugh at
the way foreigners apply some of our
terms and words. I remember an in
stance where a Creole planter was at
tempting to make terms with bunch of
laborers he wanted to hire on his sugar
plantation. The laborers applied to him
for work and he said he could give them
employment if they would accept his
terms. These terms, by the way, were
$1.25 per day and board, or $3.50 per day
without board. Here is how the Creole
put it when the laborers asked him
about the wage question:: One dollar
an a quarter an eat you, or $3.50 an
you eat yourself New Orleans.
