THIS HORSE COULD HUNT.
fhrafk He Wasn't Good for Terr Much
on the Road.
*1 had a horse,” said an old army
{nan, "that had once belonged to the
Beventh cavalry, but he had the ‘I. C.’
brand under hie name, an he went out
of the service, inspected and con
\ demned. He was a regular old plug,
but he was all 1 could get to go hunting
on, so I. totfk him. I.rode away out Into
the plains from the fort, and 1 saw a
bunch of antelope Anally. I got off the
horse and dropped the reins on the
ground, expecting the horse to stand
there till I came back. I started oft
toward the antelope and was sneaking
along to get a shot when I looked
around, and I’ll be blgmed if that
brute of a horse hadn’t started off as
: v ugnt as he could lope.
“ ‘Well,’ says I, ‘I guess I’m in for a
six-mile tramp home.' I cussed the
horse to myself for awhile, and then I
went on. Pretty soon I looked up, and
I’m blessed If there wasn’t that horse
over the other side of that bunch of
antelope. ‘Well, now,’ says I, ’I’d like
to know what the devil that horse
thinks he’s up to, anyhow.’ Pretty
soon he began to circle arouhd on the
other side, and the antelope saw him
and started oft toward me. I caught
on at once, and lay down and waited.
“That old horse cut up the most sur
prising antics out there, and all the
while he kept working those antelope
toward me. By and by they got into
range and I got two; darned good luck
it was, too. You see, that horse was
an old Indian hunting pony, and he
had been trained to do that way. Well,
I went back to the post, and everybody
wanted to know how it happened I had
such good luck. But I didn’t tell 'em,
not then.
"A few days after I took the same
horse out after prairie chickens. It was
, the time of the year when the chickens
, were flying, and I was riding along
when all of a sudden the critter stopped
short, braced himself up, and waited—
for what I didn’t know. But in a sec
ond a couple of chickens flew up ahead
of me, and I was so surprised I didn’t
shoot ’Well,’ I says, 'I’ll be switched.
Here’s a horse that’s not only a hunt
ing horse, but Is a regular pointer dog,
too.’ And he was. I got my gun ready,
an^, the next time he stopped I was
right on hand and dropped a bird.
Well, now, no sooner did that horse see
- that bird fall than he galloped off right
to where it fell, and all I had to do was
to reach off and pick it up. He was a
great horse, I tell you, and I got lots of
good hunting with him.”

On the train into Portland trom

for the passengers. They got on at
Biddefgrd. They were well dressed,
says the Bangor Commercial, and as re*

verse. They got into the smoking car
and sat down. A gentleman politely
Informed them that they had made a
mistake and were seated in the smoker.
They as politely Informed him that they
had made no mistake. Then they pro
ceeded to prove it, by taking some
dainty cigarettes from their pockets
and proceeding to daintily smoke them.
The men in the car were somewhat
astonished. Of course they stared at
the.fair intruders. People in the other
ears were all straining their necks to.
get a glimpse through the windows at
them, yet they sat there very coolly
