Risky Speculation.

In the days '.befo' de wah'' handy
negro named Jack was saving money
earned at odd times with which to buy
his freedom. His master encouraged
him and kept his money for him. In
time Jack had saved 5000 and needed
only another hundred to make him
free. His master told him that it
wouldn't be long now until he could
get another hundred. Jack went out
with another slave to celebrate some
local festival. Returning along the
railroad track they were frightened by
an approaching train. Both got off the
track, but Jacks companion fell and
striking his head against rock, was
killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as he
could to his masters house. 1t was
a late hour, but the master must hear
him. He said, Gimme NAH money
right nOw.' The astonished master
demonstrated, saying, But, Jack. you
need only another hundred dollars to

A Wasp's Mistake.

1t is generally supposed that instinct
unerringly teaches birds and insects
the best way in which to build their
homes or nests and also to provide for
their offspring. The following Incl

A naturalist placed three small emp
ty Walls in an open box on shelf in
an, upright position in close contact,
and they were uncorked. A short time
afterward it was a matter Of surprise
to find that these had been appropri-
ated by female mud wasp. She had
placed goodly number Of spiders in
the center vial, doubtless intended to
serve as food for her future brood,
then proceeded to deposit her eggs in
those on either side. She next closed
tightly the mouths of all the recepta-
cles with hard lime cement. Having
finished her work, she then doubtless
went on her way, satisfied all had been
done for her offspring that thought

We went to a bullfight and wished
we had stayed away. 1t is quite as
unpleasant as people say, and the
cruelty to the horses turns one sick.
If 1t was merely an affair between the
men, who are undoubtedly very skill
full, and the bull, which is probably so
mad with rage as to be past feeling
much pain, one could shrug ones Shout
ders at the queer game and find some
excuse, but for the torture of those
poor old blindfolded screws there can
be no shadow of palliation. After three
bulls had been killed we had seen
more than enough, especially as the
horses in the third encounter had al
ready been badly gored in the second,
and the third bull was not killed neat

FINANCIAL FURRY
CAUSES LOSS TO
DAKOTA RANCHMEk

Gregory, S. d., Nov. Gas a result
of the present financial stringency 1t Is
probable that many of the ranchmen
who have cattle running on h reser-
walton west OF here will sustain heavy
losses. Most of these men ship their
cattle to market at this tim of the
year when they are fat and heavy after
feeding during the summer on the rich
native grasses of the reservation. But
owing to the scarcity of money there
seems to be no market for these cattle
at this time. .
A special train of twenty cars of
stock was shipped from here this week,
but when the train arrived at Bonesteel
the owner learned that they could not
be sold in Omaha or. any of the other
large cattle markets. So he promptly
ordered the train stopped. The engine
was turned around and the entire train
load of cattle vas hauled back to the
yards west of Gregory, where they were
unloaded and turned out on the range.
Grass is now very scarce on the
range owing to the prairie fires that
have swept the reservation during the
past two months of dry weather, almost
the entire country having been burned
over. h cattlemen are bound to lose
heavily If they are prevented from
shipping out their stock during the
