prior to the contest, which he con

the land. The Bismarck land otfi-

A HORSE EATS ICE.

Up in Harlem is a grocer with a
horse that has one of the strangest
appetites ever known to the equine
species. He likes ice. He seems fair
ly to crave it. If the piece is too
big for him to get into his mouth
and crunch up he will lick it until it
is small enough. and then he will
chew it as many horses chew sugar.
When he sees his master coming to-
ward him with some ice he will
whinny for it like another horse for
meal of oats.
Hes been that way ever since he
was born" said the horses master.
He was born i'm midwinter, up in
the northern part of the state. and
| guess that's the reason He doesn't
care for crushed or shaver ice. He
wants it in chunks, so he can chew
on it. When he is in his stall we
put il right in with his corn. He
will take a big bite of ice. and after
it is chewed up will eat corn for
while. II never seems To hurt him"

A RANGERS BRAVE DEED
He Saved the Lives of His Men at
the Point of a Gun.


Overton W Price, vice president of
the National Conservation Association
whose book, The Land We Live In,
appears this fall, tells this story OF
an heroic forest ranger:
The summer Of 1870 he says by
reason Of great drought and unus-
,lallv high winds was the worst for
Torest fires that the west has ever
known. In Montana, Idaho and ore
gun the danger was greatest.
"On the Occur d Alene national for
est in northern Idaho, Ranger Pulaski
had under him forty men, who after
many hours Of hard work had got q
big fire practically under control
suddenly the wind strengthened until
ii blew a gale. 1t Immediately be
came a question Of saving the lives
of the men. The fire fighters were in
deep forest many miles from rail-
road and far from any clearing.
Pulaski remembered that within a
mile of where they were working
there was an abandoned mine shaft
running back about forty feet into
the hillside He rushed his men 10
the shaft as quickly as possible, and
told them as they passed through
their camp TO catch up their blankets

as they ran. The shaft reached, Pull
ask hurried his men into it, and
packed like sardines they filled il up.
Pulaski placed himself at the opening,
across which he stretched a blanket.
Within Il few minutes after the
men were I'm the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught
and Pulaski jerked it away and hung
up another. which caught in its turn.
che blanket caught again and again,
and each time Pulaski replaced it.
until toward the last he held the
blanket across ,uc opening with his
bare hands.
The shaft grew hotter and hotter
and the smoke and fumes grew
thicker and thicker until the mems
sufferings were almost beyond hui
man endurance. They began to break
for the opening. Pulaski, whost
strength was great like his courage,
for a while forced them back. See
ing that he would soon be overpow-
cred and that his men would rush 10
their certain death, he drew his re-
voIver and said that he would kill
the first man who broke away.
In perhaps twenty minutes the
worst Of the fire passed by. Five Of
the men i'm the shaft were dead from
suffocation; the thirty-five others
were alive. Pulaski was blinded and
seriously burned upon the face and
