WIVES WHO ARE ATHLETIC.

Attributes that Enhance Their Inc
 nuence with Their Husbands.
 American women have always had the reputation of excelling in devotion as mothers, while English women have been considered the more devoted wives, says the North American Re view. It may be owing to the better conditions of organized and trained do- mestic service In England, and to the possibility of leaving children safely in the keeping of nurses and governesses, that English women have thrown them- selves so much more unreservedly Into the interests, business and amusements of their husbands. In England, the husband and wife usually take their holiday trips together; in America, the mother and children make their holi- days together, and the father, when he takes one, usually takes 1t alone or with other men.
 for women in this country Is trans forming women's lives in many ways, and In nothing more beneficially than in making them more capable of being companions for their husbands. They are gaining In strength, In hardihood, In cheerfulness and breadth. of interest by their concern for sport. A wife who can ride to hounds, tramp across country, golf, play tennis and sail a boat combines the attractions of com rade, friend and wife, and triples her power. To add to capacity for out door life an intelligent interest in poll tics and municipal government, habit of culling the world politics from the daily newspapers, and well-bred ab- stention from domestic themes of con- versation would doubtless make the American woman the most desirable wife In the world, and perhaps the nursery would find her just as delight full and as influential a power if she came to 1t from time to time fresh from larger world, instead of limiting her vision to Its four walls.
 There Is a great deal in teaching . child to look upon Its mothers presence as a gracious condescenslon and more In making a man feel that his wife h his most congenial friend.

GUESS MADE HIM A PROPHET.
Ponca Indians Believe that White
 Deer h q Seer,

Ponca Indians Believe that White
 Deer h . Seer.
 White Deer, a member of the Ponca tribe of Indians, owes his present standing in the tribe to the fact that he once made guess which turned out to be correct and of which he took ad- vantage to play upon the superstitions of his tribesmen. says the Kansas City Star. He is now one of the head men of the tribe, not so much In the tribal councils as In the religious ceremonies He Is regarded by almost every mem- Der Of the tribe as being In close touch with the deity, and his advice Is much sought by the superstitious ones. and every Indian Is superstitious to cer- tain degree.
 Some years ago, before the govern ment authorities put the ban on ghost dances for his tribe, White Deer was one of the leading dancers. He was big and strong, and when the popular ity of an Indian depended upon his ability to endure much torture and to dance for a long time he stood in the front rank.
 Soon after the Poncas were moved from the north to Oklahoma, where their reservation Is now located, the tribe was holding ghost dance, and as usual White Deer was prominent among the young bucks who were do ing the feature part of the dancing. After many of his fellows had fallen l from exhaustion he danced on until he alone was left. Soon he, completely worn out, fell to the ground uncon- scious. He lay In stupor for hours. After being unconscious for nearly all of one day he suddenly awakened. Without noticing any of the members of the tribe except one, a squaw, he called her to him and told her that her son wanted her to come to him. The womans son, boy of 8, had died four years before that time. White Deer related how he had seen the boy and how the boy had called for his mother and wanted her to come to him.
 White Deer ended with the prophecy that she soon would go. Four days later the woman died. The agency doc. tor diagnosed her case and attributed her death to fright. The Indians be- lieved then, and do yet, that her death was simply the fulfillment of White Deer's prophecy and that no power on earth could have saved her. The wom- an died in intense agony and when she realized that death was near she ex- pressed great terror.
 Since that time White Deer has been the prophet of the tribe. He frequent ly goes into frances and remains uncon. scious for hours. When he regains con. sciousness he always has some sort of prophecy concerning the welfare of the tribe. The most of the members of the tribe believe in him implicitly and would not entertain a thought of doing anything against which he has given his advice.

SOME REMARKABLE HORSES.
Wonderful Stories About the Steeds
 of Famous Men.

Wonderful Stories About the steeds
 of Famous Men.
 In his letters to Lord Granville, pub lished by the Royal Philosophical So- ciety, who was also greatly interested In natural history, Smithson, the foun- der of the Smithsonian institution in America, relates how the horse of Alex ander the Great, Bucephalus, would at night, on hearing blast of the trum- pet from the soldiers on guard show ing the approach of the enemy, run at great speed to his masters tent and with his teeth grab the sleeping mon. arch and shake him until he sprang into the saddle and galloped toward the enemy.
 Also that the great Callph Haroun- el-Raschid in the eighth century in marching toward the forces of Queen Irene of Constantinople constantly had a number of trained Arabian horses (direct descendants of the famous horses owned by Ishmael 4,000 years ago) thrown forward as scouts, who from time to time returned to camp and by a peculiar whlnny and neigh reported the proximity of the enemy.
 Again he relates the experiences of the Portuguese explorer Albuquerque, who lived for many years in the six teenth century on the Island of St.. Helena, where he and the natives taught the herds of wild horses there to not only dig potatoes but to husk corn, and these horses descended from a herd brought there from Cappadocia in the second century, as related by the Greek historian Philistorgius.
 But, to come down to the present day, 1t is related by a retired New England clergyman, whose sands of life had nearly run out, that one day on leading his horse down through a lane to a brook for drink the animal suddenly halted and, turning It's head round, grabbed up with It's teeth one of Its hind shoes which had just drSp- ped of, and, holding 1t in Its mouth with the nails dangling, 1t backed up against a stone wall and clapped 1t on to It's hoof and with few violent kicks nailed It on again.-London Tit Rfts

Was Mammals Darling Boy.

A certain fond mother was mortified not long ago when parrot-fully guar anteed by the dealer from whom 1t was purchased to be free of any knowledge began to swear vigkorously In the presence of several callers and her young son.
 The birds vocabulary increased to a remarkable extent, both In amount and force, within the next week or 30, and the lady had come to the conclusion that for the sake of her sons morals she must~get rid of 1t, although 1t af- forded the entire household no little amusement in Its more polite moments, when one day she quietly entered the room where the cage hung. Perched upon a chair was Johnny and there was being executed an astonishing duet of profanity.
 "Oh, Johnny, are you teaching Poll to swear the mother gasped.
 For an Instant only Johnny was panic-stricken and then assumed an ex- pression of saintly patience.
 "No, no, mother" he asserted in a hurt tone. 'I was just tell 1t all the awful things It mustn't say"

slick and fat and about eighty pounds

Slick and fat and about eighty pounds for females up to 40 for males He never chases rabbits, but Is willing to finish the remains of an owls supper. But if some one has put 6 rabbit down doped with poison he generally pol ishes that morsel of.
 They hunt deer by preconcerted plan. The pack station themselves down wind. Then one makes a circle and comes wind rights on the deer, who may be lying down or feeding, and of course makes dash, never realizing that there is circle of death-dealing enemies before him.
 When the deer Is coming in full jump the wolf makes a short spring of six or eight feet, but the next Is from twenty to thirty feet, and before the deer realizes danger bis end Is certain.
 But If he chances to get of his doom Is sealed, and within three to seven miles he Is run down or corralled. They seem to get so nervous and ex- cited and to know that there Is no escape and turn to bay and that ends 1t.
 David Rosa, Jr., of this place cor rahed a large wolf lately which had the misfortune at some period of his life~to get badly burned, having his feet burned to the bones.
 The right front foot had the foot and nall pads burned to the bones and two nails gone; the left two outside nails and foot pads were gone; from the right hind foot four nails were gone; on the left hind foot two toes were left. His teeth were worn to small stumps with old age, but he was In fine fur and very fat.
 As there have been no forest fires in the northern counties that could corral wolves for the last thirty years there Is no doubt this patriarch was in the Hinchley fire, where 80 many wolves were seen limplng around after the blaze, and In the course of time put 15O miles between the scene of that disas- ter and his late hunting ground.-Du- luth Herald.

Cookery Caution.

The modern cookbook, if of reliable authorship, can be depended upon i'm. plicitly 50 far as Its recipes are con. cerned. But the time prescribed for the cooking of meats and vegetables is, almost invaribaly, too short. Inexpe- sienced housewives with family bak. ing and brewing on their hands will do well to make a generous allowance for this danger. Onions and beans among the vegetables, and veal, espe- cially among the meats, need thorough cooking. Roasted poultry, too, Is often served underdone.

Keeping Cham eIeons Alive,

Chameleons can be kept alive for years by making a frame to fit over a plant in a fowerpot and covering 1t with mosquito netting, which must be long enough to tie with a string about the pot. Keep the pot In the sunniest window and water the plant every day through the netting. You will be sur prised to see how eagerly the little creatures will drink the running water after they get over their fear. Set a wire fly trap for flies, which you can liberate under the netting. The chame- Icons will not be backward about help ing themselves.

RAINY SEASON IN PANAMA.

Fifteen Feet of Water Falls There
 During the Year.
 When 1t Is realized that fifteen feet of water falls in one season, 1t can be understood that there Is certainly a rainy season in Panama, where the fall Is not measured by inches, but by feet, says Joe Mitchell Chapple In the National Magazine. One solid foot of rainfall is a good deal, but fifteen feet Is almost unimaginable. This Is the season when mud and rain coats form the topic of conversation, but was told that the showers come regularly and occur In the afternoon.
 In a few hours were were steaming into Kingston harbor, late at night, and, although we had been absent but ten days, 1t was wonderful to see the progress that had been made In re- building the city and arranging qr-~ ters for the people. We passed on to dlsembark our crew of stevedores at Fortune Island. It was amusing to watch them get ofr and see the boats bobbing up and down laden with hu- man beings, bags, trunks, chairs and other household effects. It looked as though they had visited the market place of Colon and partaken of the spirit of prosperity which pervades the isthmus, for, after all, good times" means nothing more than the free cir culation of money, the coin of the realm which Uncle Sar, Is dispensing freely in return for work on that slen- der strip of land known as the canal zone. It requires no special gift of prophecy to see that where Spanish conquests were achieved with saber a. cutlass, bedecked with costly hilts of gold and silver, inwrought with pre- clous stones, the military policy Is giv- ing way to commerce, the prevailing force of the world to-day, that will eventually render to every man a fair wage for a days work-whether with brain or hand, which brings with 1t health and happiness, whether one lives in America or in the tropics or In any land.
