Young knights and squires, lighter

Practiced their chargers on the plain"
After the "Ohio Raid" Duke being
in prison, and probably on the eve of
his last ride through Kentucky, Nor
CAMS fertile mind conceived the organ
ization of a Light Horse Squadron"
He had learned from experience that
his command essentially mounted in
fantry, was not satisfactorily effective
in mounted charge. Carefully select
ing from his division, which was COM
posed of excellent horsemen and good
marksmen, a number of the notably
best equestrans, mounted upon fast and
enduring Kentucky thoroughbreds-
men who were expert pistol shots when
riding swiftly-he organized them into
a squadron with which to strike a
quick, telling blow in advance of the
more slowly moving dismounted men.
Not saber was to be seen in this
Light Squadron" the men being ex-
clusively armed with revolvers. of which
each man carried four-a total of "a
shots.
When practicable these horsemen
would charge the enemy in flank, when
in line Of battle or marching in column.
On at least two occasions when on the
last Kentucky raid, these picked men
gave promise of future effectiveness. AS
Morgan was killed before he had op-
portunities to fully test its efficiency,
this squadron proved to be an iridescent
dream, as, after the chieftain's death,
I heard no more of the Light Horse
Squadron"

STORIES OF ANIMAL LIFE.
Mountain Sheep Become Tame.
Denver Republican,

Mountain sheep in the vicinity Of w.
F. Givens's Ranch are becoming very
tame. Mr.. Givens, who is a Special
Game Warden, says that nearly every
morning six or eight of these animals
gather around his house to be fed.
There are between 40 and so sheep
in the flock, but only a few OF them
have become tame. This Is the largest
flock OF these animals in the State as
far as known here.

Damage by Wolves and Rabbits.
(St Paul Dispatch)

The large wolves are appearing again
from the west since the Missouri River
froZe over.
The wolves do the farmers a favor by
catching the cottontail rabbits that in
fest the young orchards and groves and
gnaw the trees, but they Offset this by
stealing poultry, killing sheep and larg-
er stock, so that they will be vigorously
hunted this Winter. Rabbits are re-
ported so numerous at the Highmore
Experiment Station that the young trees
are likely to be destroyed by Spring.

ut is a reasonable estimate that Nor
