Oysters in their native waters are
wild animals, So the attorney general
of New York lately informed an as
SCISSOR who asked him whether he
should assess oyster-beds as real or
personal property. When oysters are
a~rtifcially planted, according to this
legal opinion, they become "domesti-
Gated, tame, or garden oysters" and
as such are personal property. AL
though the attorney general does not
interpret the law concerning satisfy,
or oyster-plant, it is probable that the
courts would hold that this also, when
tanned, is personal property. 1t GER
tainly would be when cooked and
eaten.

REAL WILD HORSES.
Genuine Descendants of Cortez Stock
That Roam the Plains.

| Genuine Descendants of COrtez Stock
That Roam the Plains.
I think it was in SWisher county,
during my recent trip, that l saw Wild
horses for the first time. There were
thirty in the bunch. I was told by
herder that the cattlemen were in the
habit of shooting the stations. They
have ugly tempers and sometimes at
tack and kill the stock horses. When
I saw the wild horses for the first time
it gave me a thrill of delight. remem-
bered the pictures in the biographies L
studied in when I went to school in
Virginia of Texans throwing the lasso
and the mustangs of the plains being
subdued and converted into amiable
creatures. suitable for family purposes.
I gave it as my opinion that the only
safe wild horse is a dead one. Those L
saw were genuine descendants OF the
Cortez stock, which began roaming in
the early days of the conquest and
multiplied, crossing the Rio Grande
and spreading over the country from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.
We had a strong field glass in our out
fit, and mounting a small knoll which
a native called the mountain" | took
a look at the herd. The leader was
guarding the mares and colts, just as
the books say they do. We approached
within half mile of the herd and could
make out their color pretty we'll. There
was a pretty white mare in the bunch,
which [ wanted. We chased them sew
eral miles, but they got safely off, and
all the satisfaction | have is that /
saw real wild horses, not horses gone
wild but the original stock which for
several centuries have been wholly free
of the dominion of man.-H. F. Dim

Giants and Dwarfs.

The town of LigOnier, Noble county,
Ind, claims the unique distinction of
having for citizens the largest and
smallest men, physically considered, in
the west. George Washington Walker
is without question the heaviest man in
Indiana, if not in the United States.
He weighs 500 pounds, is now 46 years
cid and is adding steadily to his weight
at the rate of twenty-five pounds each
year of his life. His waist measure
ment is seventy-six inches, chest under
arms sixty-eight inches and arm TWEEN
ty-five inches. He is in excellent health
but finds locomotion rather difficult, al
constructed conveyance. He is the
father of two bright children and lives
a retired life, attempting to avoid much
notoriety. In the heated season he
lives altogether in the cellar of his
residence. Walkers physical antitype
is Jesse Walker, his neighbor. The
latter is 10 years of age and possesses
a body of fair size. His legs, however,
are twelve inches in length. He is
three feet three inches tall and weighs
but fifty pounds. Jesse is promising
youth, mentally well equipped and as
averse to notoriety as George Washing
ton Walker. The two men have re-
ceived flattering offers from museum
proprietors, but at present have no de-
sire for that kind of fame.-St. Louis
Republic
