CONCERNING THE CAMEL.
Queer Looking Beast of Burden Stores
Fat In Its Hump.

Queer Looking Beast of Burden Stores
Fat In Its Hump.
The camel eats readily all kinds Of
juicy plants, beans, peas and grains,
but when such dainty food is not to
be had he browses quite contentedly
on dry, thorny shrubs and even swal-
lows whole branches of acacia, whose
thorns are sharp enough to pierce the
sole Of strong boot. During the
rainy season, when fresh, green vege-
tation is abundant, the camel drivers
encourage their charges to eat as
much as possible, and it is said that
in order to increase their appetites
common salt is dissolved in the drink
ing troughs. Under such treatment
the camel rapidly accumulates fat,
and the hump, which contains his re-
serve store, may increase to four or
five times the dimensions 1t had dur
ing the hot season. When drought Is
prolonged and food Is scarce the
hump may almost disappear again.
The foot of the camel Is two toed,
but the toes are joined together by a
large cushion covered with more or
less callous skin. 1t Is this cushion
which enables the camel to walk
steadily across loose and shifting
sands where a horses hoofs would
sink deep at every step. The average
speed Of baggage camel is about two
and half miles an hour, and its load
varies from 800 to 500 pounds. A
dromedary may travel at the rate Of
ten miles an hour, and this rate may
be kept up for many days.-Golden
Rule.

Canadian Fish stories.-Commission

Canadian Fish Stories.-Commisslon-
er George M. Bowers Of the bureau OF
fisheries said recently in Washington
of the black bass that he Is sending
10 South Africa at the request OF Col.
Roosevelt:
These fish will do well, but no mir
acles are to be expected Of them. Many
persons seem to think that our bureau
Is as miraculous in all its works as
well, as the Canadian salmon.
1.-TWO Canadians were boasting.
"'Where / come FROM said the first,
we have a salmon river that rises In
some boiling springs AS the salmon
climb up the river they gradually get
acclimated to the heat Of the water, and
don't mind 1t. In fact, when we fish In
the highest reaches of the stream, we
catch our salmon ready boiled
81 don't doubt that said the second
Canadian, calmly. Down my way
there's a curious salmon river. too. 1t
rises in some tin mines. AS the hsh
work UP, they meet the suspended ore
In gradually increasing quantities.
They get quite mineralized II they
keep on upstream, so that, If we fish at
the head of the river, we catch our
salmon ready timed, and all we have
to do is to pack and ship them to
market"

Not literary.-"The late Frederick
Burton was the worlds foremost au-
thority on the American Indian" said
a Yale ethnologist. Burton was al
most alone in his field. There are, you
know, so few students Of Indian lore.
He said to me once, with vexed
laugh, that he found it quite as impos-
sible to discuss the Indian with people
as a Boston critic found it to discuss
poetry with the girl he took down to
dinner.
THE girl was very pretty. Leaning
her dimpled elbows on the table, she
said to the critic:
And what Is your lecture to be
about, professor"
~ shall lecture on Keats he re-
piled.
"'Oh, professor she gushed, 'wnat
are keats?'"

The Bad Bill.-"He reminds me-
Senator LaFollette was condemning a
corrupt politician who had come
cropper-"he reminds me OF Harrison
and his bad S. note.
Harrison hurried down to New YORK
for the Hudson Fulton celebration. He
had in his vest pocket bad IS note
and one night after banquet, getting
out Of a taxicab, he handed the driver
this bad note by mistake. The driver
gave him his change-a dollar bill
and drove off very hurriedly.
Then Harrison became aware OF
what he had done, and he shouted to
the man
Hey, stop! That bills bad
Its good enough for you!' the dri-
yer called back defiantly, putting on
even greater speed.
And Harrison, examining his dol
lar change under a street lamp, per-
ceived that it was a counterfeit"

The Cook of Hoboken.-Police Com
missioner Baker Of New York. anent
policeman who had made particularly
daring and successful arrest, said:
He got his man by working out his
clew with daring logic. He didn't let
any timidity stand in his way. He
didn't, out Of false delicacy, hesitate
like the Hoboken cook.
"A Hoboken man whose hen roost
had been robbed said to his cook:
See here, Lily, sleeping as close to
the hennery as you do, didn't you hear
those chickens thieves last nightT
Lilly hesitated. Then she stammer-
ed:
Yes, sir. l certainly did hear them
chickens hollerin', and heard mems
voices
why in thunder, then, didn't you
do something?
Lilly burst into tears.
"'Oh,' she sobbed, I knowed my old
poppy was out there in that hen coop,
and wouldn't have had him think I'd
lost confidence in him for all the
chickens in the world"

1.-The night wore on and I began to
get sleepy. Any man who has ridden
in the saddle as long as l have knows
how easy it is to sleep while riding.
l tried to keep awake but the solitude
of the border and the breeze that fan
ned my face brought upon me an over
powering drowiness.
Il don't know how long slept. Sud-
denly felt old Leathers give terrific
jump into the air. He lifted his fore
legs so high that l almost went out
of the saddle backward. He then
brought his feet down with the force
that Jared every bone in my body.
81 was thoroughly awake by now
and found myself in a camp Of Mexi-
cans; half a dozen Of them were lying
asleep around a campfire when Leath-
ers created CONSERVATION by jumping
in upon them. He must have slipped
into that camp with catlike tread.
"Leathers continued to kick and
paw in every direction. 1t took me
but a moment to realize the situation
and pulling my six shooter / let the
bullets drive wherever 1 saw moving
Mexican. The thieves were so taken
by surprise that they didn't have time
or opportunity to get hold Of their
guns. Old Leathers and 1 won that
fight without getting scratch.
II founi' al six of the Mexicans ly-
ing streschaG upon the ground. Most
of them we're either dead or uncon-
scious from the hoof blows which had
been given them by old Leathers. He
had done much more damage than my
bullets. to0k the rope off the saddle
and bounU +iac ores that were still
alive. ther sat down and waited for
daylight.
when It came I saw that the camp
was pitched near the mouth of the
creek an6 that the stolen cattle were
grazing near by. The thieves had
reached the river at night and were
afraid to run the risk of crossing with
the cattle in the darkness. My two
cowboys showed up shortly after day
light. We buried two Of the Mexicans
on the spot and packed the other four
wounded men down to Preside del
Nort& and turned them over to their
own people We then rounded up the
bunch of stolen cattle and drove them
back to the main herd upon the
range"
Frontiersmen say that some horses
take delight in man hunts. This was
shown at the time posse Of State
Rangers and deputy United States
marshals were in pursuit Of Bill Tay-
lor and his gang, who had robbed a
Southern Pacific passenger train near
Comstock, Tex, about fourteen years
ago. The horses of some Of the Of
ficers carried their riders closer to the
bandits than was comfortable. 1t was
impossible to hold the animals in
check when they caught sight Of the
iugitives.-Cor. Of New York Sun.

things used to happen. Here is one.

was put away in damp closet.
Some time later, going to the closet,
