Corner in stnnwatches

There's tricks in every old game.
tritely remarked John G.. Fischer. coun-
" commissioner and horseman. the
other day.
Down at Rockford track they used
to have a great system for preventing d
fast horse from getting low mark too
early in its career. Whenever a heat is
about to be raced and it is desired TO
let horse step fast mile without Civ
ing him correspondingly fast mark the
ones on the inside set to work to get q
corner on all the stop watches about the
track. Those stable boys know every
man that owns a stopwatch, just the
same as they know every man who owns
a rapid horse. The boys are sent to the
owners of watches to borrow them. one
by one.
Then after the heat is over there
nobody to dispute the time Those on
the inside merely give the time as about
10 seconds or so slower than it really
was, and that's the end Of it. But
they're always particular to have an abb
sOlute corner on the watches. '-Cleve-

Smith, who thought she was mule.

Reaching that populous thoroughfare
she started up toward State street

started down Pine again and came down

CATTLE DRIVING IN AFRIcA.
Experiences OF a Drover on a Thousand

road He started from the neighborhood
of Fyfe. close TO the German East AZ

and reach Lomagundi. over a thousand
miles distant, at the beginning of last
February.
The journey could be done quicker but
haste often means loss in stock. and i'm
out of the way places of the globe time
counts for naught. The first portion of
the journey was uneventful. In the sec
ond stage of the trip. between Mpika
and SERENE, known TO cattlemen as the
starvation area, travelling was slow. food
was scarce and the cattle could only pro-
coed by short stages, Fly was bad in
places, but this insect only infests short
strips of country and by passing through
by night loss was averted,
Lions were also persistent and fol-
lowed the cattle down almost to the
Zambesi, but strange TO say did not
make their presence heard, nor We're any
seen south of the river Whilst making
one of the nocturnal trips across the
fly belt, Mr.. Reynard had rather an
exciting experience with lions. The cat
tie had been resting throughout the day
and at sunset the order to march was
given. The herd was split up into four
lots, each in charge of a reliable ma
tive.
All went well until about 10 o'clock
and good progress was being made The
night was excessively dark and suddenly
vibrating through the darkness came the
roar OF lions. The marauders were at
tacking the last mob of cattle. The herd
boys fled in all directions and the cattle
ssampeded. II was too black 10 see the
