Death Ride With Child.

Austin, Tex, July .11.-After a
trip of 1900 miles by train, follow
ing a ride of so miles across the
Arizona desert on horseback, carry
ing his 10-year-old daughter upon
the saddle with him, ]. A. Slaughter,
of Clifton, Ariz., arrived here yester-
day morning and placed the girl in
the State Pasteur Institute for treat
ment for hydrophobia.
Mr.. Slaughter and his family were
campsd in the White mountains of
Arizona. Last Friday night a mad
skunk bit Vida, the little daughter,
upon the nose while she was sleep
ing upon the ground. Her cries
awakened the family. It was only
after a hard battle that the vicious
animal was driven off and killed.
Hastily mounting his horse and
taking the girl in his arms, Mr..
Slaughter set off for the nearest rail-
road station, so miles away. He
made the trip in record time. Close
behind him came Mrs. Elizabeth
Laney, the child's aged grandmother,
who was determined to accompany
the little one to Austin. Mrs. Laney
made the trip through the trackless
desert on horseback, alone, changing
horses once at a Mexican ranch
house. She reached the railroad sta
ton a few minutes behind her SON.
in law and granddaughter and accom-
panied them to Austin.
The girl is doing well.

Character.

Character is the quality that keeps
US always ourselves. It stands near
est to that innermost part of us that
each calls myself" sometimes it is
even hard to distinguish the two. But
like to keep character in my body
guard. Character stands firm under
every trial, if we give it the chance
to do so. It says to all the enemies
temptation, encouragement, bad
luck, the blues, and hosts of others
You may defeat the rest of the
army, but you dare not come near
the general" Character is the quail
ity that always reminds me that am
myself. 1t stands just next to myself
and goes on repeating, "Be yourself!
Don't forget who you are; don't act
below yourself" Wherever it began,
character is the first in our body
guard. He will never desert. A boy
or girl who has character, who keeps
character strong and alive, can never
truly be, defeated.-St. Nicholas.

Tickled the BuffalOs.

How a Yankee railroad man once
tried to protect telegraph poles in
western Kansas from the buffalo and
signally failed is related by H. ]. Bar
Der, a pioneer of Pawnee county.
ssEarly settlers remember that for
miles you could see a white polished
belt on every telegraph pole where
buffalo had scratched their shaggy
hides when tormented by buffalo
gnats. 1 was told that many poles
were broken by the vast army of
scratching animals. A certain rail-
road official who lived in Boston
where the shoes were made, bought
all the pegging avis on the market
and had the section men drive them
into the posts until they looked like
giant cacti.
''The herds came and saw and con-
quered. They fought for first place at
the poles and tickled their NANCY
hides with the avis, which were brok-
en- by the joyful bulls that still
scratched on the remnants until the
poles fell. Needless to say, the re-
naming avis were withdrawn from
service at once. kansas City Jour-
