Some forty years ago the managers of q
race course near Brownsville, on the Mon.
ongai ahela, published notice of race,
one mile heats, on particular day, for q
purse of S100. Z" Free for anything with
four legs and hair on" A man in the
neighborhood named Hayes, had bull
that he was in the habit Of riding to mill
with his bag of corn, and he was deter
mined to enter him for the race.
He said nothing about it to any one, but
he rode him round the track number Of
times on several moonlight nights, until
the bull had the hang of the ground pref.
ty we'll. and would keep the right course.
He rode with spurs, which the bull con.
sldered disagreeable; 80 much so that he
always beloved when they were applied
to his Aanks.


On the morning Of the race Hayes came
upon the ground on horseback-on his bull.
Instead of saddle he had a dried OK hide
the head part of which, with the horns
still on, he had placed on the bulls rump.
He had short tin horn in his hand. He
rode to the judges stand, and offered to
enter his bull for the race but the owners
of the horses that were entered objected.
Hayes appealed to the terms of the no
tice, insisting that his bull had four legs
and hair on" and that he had q right to
enter him. After good deal of swearing,
the judges declared themselves compelled
to decide that the bull had the right to
run, and was entered accordingly. when
the time for starting arrived the bull and
horses took their places. The horse.racera
were out of hup,or ~ ho;nr ho,h.roJ xr;xb
bull, and ut the burlesque which they
supposed was intended, but thought it
would be over as soon as the horses start
ed.


When the signal was given they did
start. Hayes gave blast of his horn,
and sunk his spurs into the sides Of the
bull, which bounded off with terrible
bawl, at no tri8ing speed, the dried OK
hide Tapping up and down and rattling at
! every jump, making combination of
sounds that had never been heard on

A general row ensued, but the fun of
the thing put the crowd ON the side of the

were swindled out of their purse, and had
1T not been for Hayes horn and OK hide,
which he ought not to have been permit
ted to bring on the ground the thing
would not have turned out as it did. Up
on this Hayes told them his bull could
beat their horses anyhow, and if they
would put up hundred dollars against
the purse he had won he would take of
the OK hide and leave the tin horn, and
run fair race with them.


bis offer was accepted and the money
staked: they again took their place at the
starting post, and the signal was given.
Hayes gave the bull another touch with
the spur, and the bull uttered tremen.

Fold it up carefully, lay it aside;


Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride
For dear must it be to our hearts evermore,
The jackt of grey, our loved sodier-bOy
Can ever forget when he joined the brave band
Who rose in defence of our dear Southern land.
And, in his bright youth. hurried on to the fray,
How proudly he dOnned it, the jacket of grey.
His fond mother blessed him, and looked up above,
Commencing to Heaven the child of her love;
What anguish was hers, mortal tongue NAV not say,
When he passed f.Om sight in the jacket of grey
But her country had called, and she would repine
Though costly the sacrifice placed the shrine
Her hearts dearest hopes on the altar she lay,
When she sent out her boy in the jacket of grey.
Months passed. and thunders rolled over the land
Unsheathed was the sword, and lighted the brand
We heard in the distance the sounds of the fray,
And prayed for our boy in the jacket of grey.
All vain, ALL all vain prayers and our tears
The glad shout of victory rang in
But treasured one the red battlefield lay
While the IifeblOod oozed out on the jacket of grey
His young comrades found him and tenderly bore
The cold, lifeless form to his home by the shore
OH dark our hearts OH that terrible day,
When we saw our dead boy, in the jacket of grey.
All. spotted and tattered and stained with gore
Was the garment which once he so proudly
We bitterly wept, : took it away,


replaced with deaths white robes his jacket of grey
When we laid him to rest in his cold, narrow bed,
And gTavcd on the marble placed DER his head,
As the proudest of tributes sad hearts could pay
" He never disgraced the jacket of grey"
Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside,


TenderIy touch it, look it with pride


For dear must it be to our hearts 2vcrmOrC,
The jacket Of grey our sodler-bOy wore.

some English officers camping in the ";
cinity Of Mulkapoor, went out tiger hun
ting, and bagged splendid tigress. While
returning home with the trophy, they
found in secluded spot, in the lee Of
Jagged rock, what evidently was the lair
of a tiger, for there lay bones of both
human and brute kind, and shreds and
rags of clothing. More interesting than
all, however was the discovery Of tiny
kitten, not more than fortnight old,
coiled in corner, winking and blinking
and gapping at the intruders. The hunt
ers at once decided that this must be the
cub Of the beast they had slain, and will
ingly took charge Of the little orphan.


Tiger kittens are not captured every
day, so when the, hunters returned to
their quarters, the excitement in their
tent was considerable. The newly ac-
quired kitten was provided with tiny
dog collar and chain, and attached to the
tent pole, round which it gamboled to the
delight of an audience numbering nearly
twenty. About two hours after the cap
ture, however, and just as it was growing
dark, the good people in the tent were
checked in the midst of their hilarity by
sound that caused the bravest heart to
beat rather irregularly.


1t was the roar or rather the combina-
ton of shrek and roar peculiar to the Ii
ger when driven mad with rage. In an
instant the gamboling kitten became eve
ry inch tiger, and strained, with all its
baby strength at the te1er, while it repli-
ed, with loud wall to the terrible voice
outside. There was something so sud
den and unearthly in the roar, that it
seemed as though the great tiger brought
in an hour before had come to life again.
Certainly, the tiger in question was alrea-
dy fayed, but the picture conjured up be-
came none the less pleasant for that.
There was, however, not nearly so much
time for speculation to the scared CON-
pany as writing these lines has cost; for
almost simultaneous with the roar, there
leapt sheer into the centre Of the tent,
bold tigrcss, and without deigning to no.
ticea single man there, she caught her
kidnapped baby by the nape Of its neck,
and giving it a jerk, snapped the little
chain, and then turning for the tent door
trotted off. at tull speed. After all 1t ap
peared that the little thing did not belong
to the tiger that was slain, but to the
brave mother that had tracked and reco-
vered it. Sanguinary man. eater as she
may have been, one can scarcely be sor-
ry to hear that not gun was leveled at
the great rejoicing creature as she bore
off her young one, and that she got clear
