by which messenger boys were made

All things were taking place exactly

Presently an automobile came In

directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least a mile minute. Just
as a catastrophe seemed inevitable It
swerved aside, passed on and disap-

MANY WILD HORSES.
Running Free In Large Numbers In
WiIds of Nevada.

1T Is estimated by government for
,st rangers that there are from 10000
to $4,000 wild horses overrunning the
public ranges in the mountains Of Ne
vada and other far western states y
said Ben C. Wilkins, lumber merchant
IF Carson, New, to a Washington Her
I'D reporter.
Forest rangers have been ordered to
shoot all wild horses found on the
ranges" continued Mr.. Wilkins; "at
east this was the impression we gain
ed in Nevada, but government en-
,loyes can only devote their energies to
fencing crops from the trespassing
lnmals, or rounding them up when
they appear and threaten damage to
he range. Within the last few years
they have increased to such an extent
that in many localities they are class
ed as 'varmints,' with wolves, wild
cats and grizzlies, and every mans ri
i1e is turned against them. No fence
is strong enough to stop these horses
and when they appear in force they
have even been known to knock down
and kill COWS and calves. After each
visitation from a herd, the ranchman
is likely to mourn the loss Of his do
mestic horses, and 1t only requires a
few days association with their new
companions for the best-broken ami
mails to become as wild as their no.
madic comrades.
THE legislature of Nevada passed a
law many years ago specifically allow
ing hunters to shoot wild horses and to
sell their hides for what they could get
in the open market. The law opened
the way to a new and unusual industry
and many men found the killing OF
wild horses profitable. Besides, the
work was exciting and gave the bus
mess the added zest Of sport.
LAS time went on ana the business
! If killing these outlaws assumed great
er proportions, stockmen found that
the professional hunters were in many
cases abusing their rights and were
killing branded and shod horses. This
put an end to the business, for, on
complaint Of the stockmen, the Ne
vada legislature promptly repeated the
aw. 1t is estimated that $4,000 ami
| mails were killed in the time the law
was in force. The wild horse question
has again become a serious one and
any one who can devise a plan for ef-
fectually disposing of them will do a
great service to the stockmen Of the
| western states"

Thirteen.lnch Waist.

Catherine de Medici commanded the
women Of her court to have 13-inch
waists-one shudders to think Of what
tortures they must have gone through;
but perhaps thirteen inches was a
more elastic measurement in that court
trickery and corruption than now.
Corsets in the 10th century were
very handsome, and were worn outside
of the robe to show their richness;
hence the women We'd with each other
in their costl,ness and beauty.
1t was in the 1Gth century that cor
set specialists appeared and women
were fitted with much care. All sorts
Of shapes were made, and they were
laced at their side, and the front as
well as at the back, and were made OF
every material possible.
Not until so late as 1912 did the cor
set as we know it make its appearance,
and since then, especially Of late years,
its development has been rapid, and to-
day the art of cOrsetmaking seems to
have achieved perfection.
Skilled filters are trained to cor
rect all minor and some major
defects Of deficient or too redundant
figures with the aid Of their steels,
whalebcne and cloth, and to set off to
the greatest advantage the natural
grace and beauty Of the perfect figure.
Or if one has a taste for hipless,
rndeveloped figure, such as the
modes Of the day seem made for, then
the corsetmaker is so skilled as to be
qfle to shape and push flesh and mus
cles from one spot to another This
works wonders in the way Of reduc-
ton.

is IS and annual supplies cost little
more than 50. Foreigners are charged
double rates. Where in this country
can you find anything like it? Many
scholarships are provided by these
institutions, which are located in all
parts CT Austria. In Bohemia they
cover every line of manufacture and
every industry. Commercial schools

GLORY EvERYwHERE.-A Methodls
minister was much annoyed by one OF
his hearers frequently shouting ou'
during the preaching, Glory" Praise
the Lord!" and the like. Though OTTER
reproved, the happy member persisted
in expressing himself.
One day the minister invited him tc

of praise, handed him scientific book
full of dry facts and figures, to pass
the time before tea.
Presently the minister was startled
bv a sudden outburst Of Glory" Hal

What Is the matter, man." asked
the minister.
"Why, this book says the sea Is five
miles deep?"

and if it Is that deep l need not Dc
afraid of their ever coming up again

THE BEST PAID LAWYER.
Rufus lsaacs, a London Jew, Enjoys
Princely Income.


So rapid and steady has been 'he
rise within recent years of Rufus
Isaacs, X. c., NJ. p, that it now is said
in we'll informed circles that he Is in
receipt of the largest income in the
history cf the English bar. Certainly
he is one of the ablest and at the same
time the hardest worker of the bril-

prosecuted Whitaker Wright, the
greatest "frenzied finance" expert that
ever operated in England, who fled to
the United States when his various
notations began to collapse and after

had many peers and younger sons of
eminent families involved with him
that he felt sure of acquittal, and it
was only the unruffied, incislve cross
examination of Rufus Isaacs that
broke down his defense and sealed his
doom. And it was within a few feet
IF Isaacs that Wright drank poison
and died from it's effects rather than
spend in prison the comparatively
short term to which he had been SEN
fenced.
Isaacs was born in 1860 in the city

merchant. He was educated at Brus-
