ARE UNABLE TO RIDE OSTRICH
Powerful Bird Too Much for Even
Most Expert Horsemen.

II don't believe the stories told
about the natives In Africa and Aus
tralia riding ostriches." said 4 Califor-
nian. 'and | saw this pretty well tried
on one occasion in my state. A cow
boy who had vanquished every pony
he ever undertook to break in was in
duced to try an ostrich. After an
hours hard work he succeeded in
mounting the bird, which at first tried
to shake and roll him on. but these
tactics. OF course. had no effect upon
the cowboy. Then. in spite of all the
man could do, the ostrich succeeded
in getting his head around and Selling
the rider by the calf Of one leg. Final,
ly the man. after much frantic kicking,
got his leg free. He then doubled his
feet under him. and the ostrich
reached over his wings and got
good, fast hold on the mans back,
throwing him heavily to the ground
and trampling on him. 1t took three
OF us to chase the infuriated ostrich
away. and We accomplished 1t barely
In time to save the mans life. That's
why don't believe the native Austria
lians can ride ostriches."

be buried alive. and his wishes were
carried out to the letter.
During the famine two brothers
who lived in Suchien fought desperate

families and bad blood arose between
them At lasr the elder brother sold
his fathers coffin for foot, When he
refused to divide the proceeds with
his younger brother the latter cut of
his head with cleayer
Because 1t was too expensive to
carry the murderer several scores OF
miles to the nearest yamen of justice
the local elders. including the father
OF the murderer whose coffin had been
sold. sat in justice upon the culprit
and condemned him to death. He
asked that he be buried alive instead
Of receiving the horrible torture of the
thirty slices" The father interced ed
with the other elders to get them TO
grant his sons re1uest
grave was dug. and the victim,
with his arms and feet securely bound,
was trundled in \ wheelbarrow to the
edge OF the pit by his wife There
upon the murderers own request his
bonds were loosed and he walked TO
the grave. lowered himself into II
and was ready.
The victims wife put felt hat over
his mouth at his request, and then she
helped the elders to fill In the grave
