HUNTING.

In the old days in the ranch country we
depended upon game for fresh meat No
body liked to kill a beef, and although
now and then a maverick yearling might
be killed on the roundup. most Of US
looked askance at the deed. because II
the practice Of beef killing was ever al
lowed to start the rusters-the horse
thieves and cattle thieves-would be sure
to seize on II as an excuse for general
slaughter. Getting meat for the ranch

ENCOUNTER IN BAD LANDS.
On the other hand. parties of savage
young bucks would treat lonely settlers
Just as badly and, in addition, sometimes
murder them. Such party was gen
orally composed of young fellows burning
to distinguish themselves. Some one of
their number would have obtained pass
from the Indian agent allowing him To
travel off the reservation, which pass
would be flourished whenever their action
was questioned by bodies of whites OF

ODD FACTS ABOUT PEARLS
They Must Have Air and Liuht to Retain Their Beauty and
 Brilllancy.

One peculiarity of the pearl is that to retain its beauty and brillian- cy It must have air and light. In 1878 an Indianapolis man possessed himself of two small, pear-shaped pearls that were found in mussel shells in the Wabash river near New Harmony. He says that, intending to-haye them mounted as earrings at some future time, he put them away wrapped in writing paper in a dark corner of drawer, where the paper was left unopened for ten years. When the paper was opened what was his astonishment to find what had been these beautiful pearls was only a white powder, merely carbo- nate of lime.
 The pearl is the oldest object of personal adonment. The records of the Babylonians, Egyptians, Per slans and Romans make mention of the pearl. The wife of the Emperor Caligula at a betrothal feast deco rated herself with pearls to the value of $1,650,000. Julius Caesar pre- sented Servilia, the mother of Bru- tus, of whom it was said he was the lover, with pearl valued at $25O,- GOO. Philip II. of Spain paid $2OO,- 900 for the pearl known as Pere- grlna. This pearl was found in Pan- anna and weighed 134 karats. France owns the largest pearl known. It is 3 inches long, 41a inches in cir conference at one end and 31b inches at the other. It weighs 1900 grams and is valued at $60,O ,O0O.

ADVANCE IN WHEAT:
CORN AND OATS UP
Bulls Active on Account of
Floods in Ohio Valley;
Good Export Sales.

CHICAGO. March 26.-Bull leaders
supported wheat so effectively today that
the market made an advance of nearly
cent in the face Of a number OF natu-
rally bearish conditions. The close was
nervous at a net uplift OF s09c to E6llc.
Corn scored net gain OF &c to t@gc:
oats, s@9c TO &c. and provisions, 2S@5c
TO 5@7sc.
Chief reasons underlying bull activity
in wheat seemed TO be. first. fears thet
heavy rains and floods in the Ohio valley
would wash away large part OF the
growing crop; ana. second. news of some
good export sales OF wheat at Duluth
The market seemed TO Ignore the ap-

bull sentiment.

the general short selling Of corn yester-

effect was. a STAMPEDE of buying. Light
receipts helped the upturn. Demand
from shorts gave oats strength
