strings like that some of the bosses
wouldn't get worked once a month, but
in them days they got up in the morn
ing and honed 'em ALL All of 'em made
money an earned every cent of it. The
graft was good every day in the year,
but the velvet harvest was the lineup
meetin' every fall, when the wise team
ster charged twenty-five bucks for
drivin' a boss against the clock. Bar
rows an Hogoboom hired out to sight
so many that they kept 'em waitin' in
a string a mile long, an the blanket
carriers would pick 'em up an throw
'em from one sulky into another at the
finish of every heat, just like they used
to toss Nelly Burk from one saddle to
another when she was ridin' a fifty
mile race.
II suppose you had to take care of
more than one horse in those days"
remarked the owner.
Not in fly time" replied Busby, but
I took care of thirty head once in the
winter time
Thirty head. How could you do it"
"Well, Sundays I fed 'em hay, Mon
days 1 fed 'em oats, Tuesdays l watered
'em, Wednesdays 1 cleaned out the
stalls, Thursdays / fed 'em bran, Fri
days 1 counted 'em to see if they was
all there, and Saturdays I rested up for
the next week. Everybody had to
hustle in them days. but it's gettin'
so lately that nobody is strong enough
to put in more than nalf time"
How did he train Del Norte? Why
he would hitch him up at five in the
mornin' to a heavy wagon, and drive
him to the ranch, an round up about
forty head Of youngsters with him, do
what little chores that was to be done,
an then Shoe him all the way back to
the track an then give the black fellow
five or six fast heats in the neighbor-
| hood of 2:1O, hitched to that old wagon
with a rack on an the boom pole drag
gin behind. That was what that PAGER
got for an eye opener every mornin'
befor breakfast. No wonder the wise
ones call him the brass mounted Why
just look at him today. In the pink, all
the time, never was known to quit, acts
like twO-year-old. Old Del is a pacin'
racin' rackin' chasin' son of a noun

LIKED THE FIGHTING APOSTLE
Name of St. Peter Appealed to Heart
Of Soldier.

II Is we'll known that Elias Howe
the inventor of the sewing machine
not only enlisted as a common soldie!
in the ranks OF the Seventeenth Con
necticut regiment, carried a musket
and did full military duty during the
war, but at certain juncture, wher
national finances were at a low ebb
he paid soldiers out Of his own pocket
Relative to this incident, p. T. Barnun
used to tell this story:
while Mr.. Howe was counting out
the money referred to, a stranger, who
was clergyman, entered the tent and
said he had heard of Mr.. Howe's lib
erality and had called to ask him to
contribute toward building a church
for his congregation.
Church, church., said Mr.. Howe
without looking up from his bills he
was counting; building churches In
war times, when so much is needed to
save our country! What church is
it?'
"'St. Peters church. replied the
clergyman.
"'Oh, ST. Peters, said MI. Howe;
well, st. Peter was the only fighting
apostle-he cut mans ear off. I'll
go $500 on st. Peter, but l am spend
ing most of my money on saltpeter
now"

said, was great.-as great as the diff.

refuge in hole that proved to have
an exit in the rear.
The man who had chosen the hole
was no sooner in at one end than he
was out at the other. With q below
the bull made for him. He turned and
again shot like lightning through the
hole. The bull once more bore down

"The bull was dashing from one

before his next brief disappearance to

Moving Stairs for Walters.

1t is strange fact that one OF the
greatest conveiiences possible in the
working mechanism of a hotel is be-
ing successfully introduced in foreign
hotels, and although manufactured in
New York is only beginning to be
heard of in the United States.
It is known as an escalator, and is a
moving runaway or stairs for carrying
the walters from the level Of the
kitchen to upper dining rooms. Less
than a year ago one Of them was
shipped to a leading hotel in Stock
holm, Sweden, and some time later an
other to a hotel in Buenos Ayres.
Others are being prepared for ship
ment to hotels in Europe.-Popular

The addition OF a few chcppeI nuts
and some candied orange eel is worth

If the knife and fingers are slightly
buttered when seeding raisins the
work will be robbed of its sickness
and discomfort.
Use dates instead of raisins when
next making rice pudding, whether
baked or boiled. The change will be
found quite satisfactory.
In cooking macaroni, rice, oyster
stew or milk for a custard. grease the
kettle with little butte: and the
mixture will never stick.
Even though currants can now be
bought cleaned" the careful cook
washes them through several waters,
dries them on a soft cloth and put
them in slow oven for a time.

past it ought to be observed, and the
tendency of Southern legislation to-
day is toward the enactment Of ell
ectoral qualifications which shall
square with that amendment. OF
course the mere adoption of a con-
stitutional law is only one step in the
right direction. 1t must be fairly and
justly enforced as well. In time both
will come. The domination Of an ig-
norant, irresponsible element can be
prevented by constitutional laws
which shall exclude from voting both
negroes and whites not having edu-
cation or other qualifications thought
to be necessary for a proper elector-
ate. The danger Of the control of an
ignorant electorate has therefore
passed. With this change, the inter-
est which many of the southern white
citizens take in the welfare of the
negroes has increased. The colored

Bladder troubles almost always result

better health in that organ is obtained

and overcomes that unpleasant necessity

The Negro Problem.
The consideration of this question
cannot, however, be complete and
full without reference to the negro
race, its progress and its present con-
dition. The 18th Amendment secured
them freedom; the 14th amendment
due process Of law, protection Of pro-
perty and pursuit Of happiness; and
the 18th Amendment attempted to
secure the negro against any depri-
vation Of the privilege to vote, be-
cause he was a negro. The 18th and
14th Amendments have been gener-
ally enforced and have secured the
objects for which they were intend
