A Three Legged Bison
In 1SG7 Small Eyes a Blackfoot who
had come down from the north and
joined the Arapahoes and lived with
them told Black Kettle a Cheyenne in
George Bents lodge about bavin
killed between the Cimarron d
Beaver creek a tributary of the r tli
fork of the Canadian a buran Lull
which had only one hind leg Accord
ing to Small Eyes story it did not ap
pear that the bull had lost one of Its
hind legs but rather that it never had
had more than one The hind leg was
very large seemed to be in the mid
dle of the body instead of at one side
and there was no sign of any missing
leg It looked as if the two hind legs
which the buffalo ordinarily has had
in some way fused together
The war party with which Small
Eyes was traveling was passing along
near a hollow when the bull came up
out of it and some of the men ran
ahead got around it and shot it with
a gun It was not able to run fast
but rather hobbled along Forest and
Stream
Saved by a Photograph
A very remarkable incident occurred
at Rio de Janeiro
A passenger on board one of the
large liners took a photograph of the
harbor It included a small yacht
which had sailed in the morning with
two men in her but returned in the
evening with one only The survivor
said his companion had fallen over
board but his statement was not be
lieved lie was tried and sentenced to
death The matter had by this time
come to the ears of the photographer
who remembered that the picture had
been taken ou the day of the crime
or accident and that the scene em
braced a yacht On examining the
print more carefully he noticed a small
speck on the sail and in order to de
termine what it was had an enlarge
ment made It proved to be the figure
of a man falling It was shown to the
authorities at once and the condemned
man was released
Dropsical Oysters
With a sneer the oyster opener point
ed to a brownish smear upon a Saddle
Itock shell
Some fool said he has been try
ing to fatten up a batch of Saddle
Rocks with cornmeal You might as
well try to invigorate flowers with
corned beef hash But it is a common
error to believe that cornmeal or oat
meal will fatten oysters I continually
find oysters with their shells stained
with those grains It makes me laugh
As a matter of fact there is no such
thing as fattening oysters All you can
do is swell them up with water pre
cisely the same as water swells a
sponge You put them iu fresh water
which being less dense than the soft
they are accustomed to by the princi
ple of osmosis penetrates and distends
their tissues gives them as you might
say dropsy For my part I dont like
fattened oysters New Orleans Times

For a Brides Dowry
There is a very pretty custom in
some of the northern parts of Europe
There the white poplar in good soil
increases a shilling iu value every
year The trees are generally cut down
at the age of twenty years as they
are then supposed to have attained
their full growth When a daughter is
born iu the family of a well to do
farmer the father as soon as the sea
son permits plants a thousand young
trees and these are to constitute the
dowry of the maiden which grow as
she grows and increases in height and
value as her virtues and beauty in
crease

Did the Best Ho Knew
Geordic Horn was a character well
known among the country folk of the
Scotch highlands twenty tlve years ago
He belonged to a class rather hard to
classify for he was neither a tramp
nor a farm hand although frequently
following the habits of both Wan
dering from farm to farm the greater
part of the time he was kindly treated
and hospitably entertained generally
While he was a man of unusual
strength he was mentally weak and
exceedingly lady
Hes a gle cute chlel though slow
in the uptack understanding was
the way a good many described him
One day he arrived at his friend the
doctors and complained of a severe
pain in his breast The doctor handed
him a plaster with instructions to put
it on his chest without delay Geordle
gave him one of his knowing looks
and took his departure The doctor
met him a few days later and inquired
how lie was feeling now Geordle re
plied Nae better Did you do as I
told you with the plaster the doctor
went ou
Weel no not exactly I done the
best I could I didnt have a chest sae
I stuck it on my bandbox hat box
An Expensive Dollar
Not long ago in this town a kind
friend of the family gave one of the
kids a dollar Of course it was too
much to let the kid get out and spend
for candy and gum so it was reli
giously put up cu the sideboard or
some other safe place to be kept just
for what the deponent saith not In
about a week the juvenile owner of
the big round coin remarked at the
breakfast table Papa mamma spent
my dollar 1 esterday The head of
the house took the hint and fished up
another dollar which like Its prede
cessor was placed in a good safe place
to keep
During the next month by a careful
ly tabulated record which he kept on
his cuff he repaid this elnsive dollar
just thirteen times So at the end of
the month you will not be surprised to
learn that our friend sent the donor of
the original dollar this curt note
Dear Sir Inclosed you will find a check
for 1 Its the dollar you gave our
youngster I return it simply to avoid
bankruptcy Already It has cost me some
where between fifteen and twenty
Lamah Mo Democrat
Dollar Fish
Have you any dollar fish here a
woman asked of one of the attendants
at the aquarium
While the question may seem curi
ous it was really very simple for the
dollar fish is only a j oung moonfish
The moonfish is a curious but beau
tiful creature almost round in shape
and extremely thin and having the
loveliest of pearly sides It swims on
edge so that it always presents its
sides of pearl to view It takes Its
name from its shape and because
further in color It suggests the silvery
moon
Young moonfish of the size of a
standard silver dollar and they are
scarcely any thicker are called dollar
fishes because of their resemblance to
that coin in size and shape and color
and the woman making the inquiry
about dollar fishes was duly informed
that there was none In the tanks at
the present time but that they did
have them occasionally New York
Sun
Three Sabbaths Each Week In Tangier
Morocco is a country of many Sab
baths The first three days I spent in
Tangier were all Sabbaths Arriving
on a Thursday night the next day was
Friday the Mohammedan Sabbath
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath the Hebrew element in Tan
gier is considerable and strict in re
ligious observance and that in turn
by the Christian Sunday Subsequent
comparison however revealed little
difference between any days of the
week On the Mohammedan Sabbath
a black flag is hoisted on the minarets
at the prayer of dawn instead of the
white flasr that announces the time of
devotions on other days It remains
up until the middle of the forenoon
by which time everybody is supposed
to have found out what day it is
New York Post
The Word Charlatan
Charlatan a writer in the
London Chronicle is companion to
quack in our vocabulary and of this
word the origin is certainly Italian
It is ciarlatano merely a chatterer
and describes the traveling doctor in
his cart who used to offer in an over
whelming torrent of talk his pills to
villagers in the market place lie was
a dentist as well as a physician and
wrenched out the tooth in public The
genus is not yet entirely extinct
A Word Breaker
Fine looking old gentleman
Yes but he was never known to
give a man his word that he did not
break it
Dishonest eh
Nope he stutters Houston Post

A Poor Defense
Speaking of a poor defense said a
lawyer reminds me of the valet who
was accused of drinking his masters
wine To this valet the master said
Look here you I believe that you
have been at this decanter of claret
and then filled it up with water
Oh no sir said the valet in an
aggrieved tone
Well it tastes like it said the
master and he set down his glass with
a wry face
Oh no sir said the valet excited
ly In the first place sir I never
drink wine in the second place when
I do drink it I never think of filling
the bottle up with water and in the
third place when I do put water in I
always am very careful to add a little
brandy so that the wiue may not lose
its strength
Two Great Orators
As an orator Demosthenes was head
and shoulders above Cicero the Ro
man The great Athenian stands in a
class all by himself if we are to be
lieve the consensus of learned opinion
Cicero it is said prided himself on his
faculty of extemporizing at need but
probably trusted little to it on great
occasions while with Demosthenes it
was the rule never to speak without
the most careful preparation The
speeches of both were spoken without
manuscript They would never have
made the reputation they did if they
had been tied down to their notes
