"cREAslNG" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method

For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.
Will C. Barnes, writing in McClure's
of the various methods Of capturing
wild horses in the old days on the
plains. says:
":Creasing' was one Of their devices.
This consisted in shooting bullet so
that it struck the animal on the top
of the neck Just in front Of the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porarily stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animaHs
feet together before he recovered. y
rope halter was slipped on his head.
4 gentle horse or sometimes Work
OK was led up alongside the PROSTATE
beast, and he was securely necked up
to the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily. Old mustangers say,
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
a matter of fact the method was not
used very much except in an emer-
sency, when q hunter, after days OF
attempts to capture. finally took the
risk Of successfully creasing an IN
usually fine animal rather than see
him escape altogether.
zone Of the best COW ponies ever
owned I bought from 4 mustanger
who had creased him on the plains
east Of the Pecos river in New Mex
leo. There was a hole in his neck
fully two inches deep and wide, where
the ball from the heavy buffalo gun
had plowed its way through the flesh
Just high enough above the spine not
to kill and low enough to stun efectu-

that he had dropped the link some

DEATH OF THE WORLD.
When Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin to Breathe.

When Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin to Breathe.
The age of the earth is placed by
some at 5o0,COo,0oo years, by others
100000 years, and still others Of
later time place it at 100000 years.
None place it lower than 100000,
knowing what processes have been
gone through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ SO much from the earth is that
they are in SO much earlier or later
stages of existence The earth must
become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would lose all its water and become
perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct.
AS the earth keeps cooling it will be-
come porous, and great cavities will
be formed in the interior, which will
take in the water. Il is estimated
luaL luiS ptoSSSS - AAo" - Pt"SA~0S'
so far that the water diminishes at the
rate of the thickness Of sheet Of
paper each year.
At this rate in G,0oO,000 years the
water will have sunk mile. and in
100000 the water will have disap-
peared from the face of the globe. -
The nitrogen and oxygen in the at
mosphere are also diminishing all the
time. 1t is in an inappreciable degree.
but the time will come when the air
will be so thin that no creature We
know could breathe it and live. The
time will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the period
Of old age, and then will come death

India Ink.

In both India and China there are
thousands of people who manufacture
india ink as 4 side line to their regu-

are not otherwise employed. 1t IS

where petroleum is found even coal OIL
is used in making the cheaper grades.

When the Waiter Wins.

Two men were wrangling as to who
should settle with the waiter for the
luncheon. When the question had been
finally decided and the contestants had
gone the waiter said to one Of his reg
ular customers who was witness of
the scene: That's what we like, for ev-
cry time it happens we come in for an
extra tip. The man who couldn't get
the check has only one way to get
even, and that is by giving the waiter
something, and nine times out of ten
be does it and makes the amount more
than he would have given if he had
paid the check. This one ordered ex-
ira cigars and left the change for me.

Overfeedins.

Men drunk from liquor and men
drunk from overeating are most sus-

said a Chicago health commissioner in
an address. "The majority Of cases
Of pneumonia are Of patients who con-
tracted the disease after a drunken de-
Dauch or who We're drunk from over
feeding" the commissioner continued.
People. drunk from overfeeding, I
think. are almost as immoral as those
who stupefy themselves with liquors.
The effects Of pneumonia in such pa
tients are much the same" :

Care Of Snowshoes.

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry with
chamois, for instance, the prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them off merely tap them against the
wall or a tree to shake free the cling,
ing snow and stand them up on their
heels outside. Never attempt to dry
them before fire When they are put
away for the summer select dry
place where there will be no danger OF
mice.-Country Life In America.
