THIS HORSE.
Wasn’t Mach on the Kosd, bat He
Knew How to Hunt.
"I 1W a horse,” said an old army
man, ‘that had belonged once to the
Seventh Cavalry, but he had the *‘I C”
brand under his mane, so he was out oS
the service. Inspected and condemned.
He was a regular old plug, but he was
all I could get to go hunting on, so I
took him. I rode away but Into the
plains from the fort, and I saw a bunch
of antelopes finally. I got off the horse
and dropped the reins on the ground,
expecting the horse to stand there till
I came back. I started off toward the
antelope, and was sneaking along to get
a shot, when I looked around, and I’ll
be blamed If that brute of a horse
hadn’t started off as tight as he could
lope. ‘We’l,’ says I, ‘I guess I’m in for
a six-mile tramp home.’ I cursed that
horse to myself for a while, 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 around on the
other side, and the antelope saw him
and started off toward me. I caught on
at once, and I 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 In
range, and I got two; darned good luck
it was, too. You see that horse was an
old Indian hunting pony, and he had
teen trained to do that way. Well, I
went back to the post, and everybody
wanted to know how It happened I hac
such good luck. But I didn’t tell ’em
Not then.
"A few days after I took the same
horse out after prairie thickens. It was
the time of the year when the chickens
were flying, and I wAj 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
second 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 hunting horse, but is a regular
pointer dog, too.’ And he was. I got
my gun ready, and 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 hunt
ing with him.”

Wanted-An Idea
Who can think
of tome simple
thing to patent?
AMERICAN RECKLESSNESS.
A Frenchman Bays Wt Am* All Rlch
Who Know* DantUte.
A Frenchman who has been travel*
tag in thia country says that what
struck him most in the United Staten
was the American habit of filling the
'teeth with goldi About $500,000 worth
of gold is thus nsed every year, he
says, all of which,of course, is b::ried.
So he figures that at the end of three
centuries the cemeteries of America
will contain gold to the value of $150,
000,000. "I am afraid.” he adds,
“that this will prove too tempting to
the practical mind of the future
American, and we shall see the day
when companies will be organized
to mine the cemeteries and recover
the gold secreted in the jaws of dead
ancestors.” The writer then goes on
and figures up the average amount of
gold in the teeth of each dead person
He has evidently been consulting the
record of 'vital statistics, for he says
that 875,000 people died in the United
States in 1 889. This would bring the
7alue of gold in each dead person’s
teeth to an average of about sixty
five and three-fourth cents, and he
thinks that in well crowded ceme
teries the mining of this gold could
be carried on profitably despite the
small average value.
.CAN'T BUY THE BAROAINS.
! — -
Saleswoman Mot . Allowed to Toko Ad*
vantage of Bargain Balee.
I asked a young saleswoman who
served me in a large shop the othet
day whether the employes of the es*
tablishmont were allowed to take ad*
vantage of the “bargain sales” in
buying goods.
‘■I can’t speak for any other places,
was her reply, "but I know that we’re
not
“Why, what chance would the pub
lic have after we’d had a whack at
.the counter?
“There are over 600 women and
girls employed here, and the cream
of the bargains would be gone before
the customers had fought their way
through the front door.
"Of course, if we’re smart we can
lend people here to buy for us.
.“One girl did this some time ago,
but her friend got lost in the shuffle
and couldn’t crowd her way to the
counter.
“So Marjr Ann—she worked next to
mo—got so wild that she gathered up
the things that she wanted and waved
’em at the woman as much as to say:
Tome on, why don’t you?’
“But the floorwalker saw the whole
business, and it was ‘good-by, Mary
Ann.’”
THE OLD LOO SHANTY.
IS Is Cllvlng Way to the Tenement In
the Coal l{«glon.
One charm of the anthiacite coal re
gion of Pennsylvania has almost dis
appeared, and that is the comfortable
and even picturesque log shanty of
the Irish miner. The best of these
were well chinked from the weather,
and within their flattened logs were
whitewashed and spotless. The floor
was scrubbed until it was nearly as
white as the walls. On one side was
a great flroplace, with a large grate
piled high with perhaps 100 pounds of
glowing anthracite Wrinkled old
Irish women, in the whitest oi
starched caps, sat in front of the grata
Knitting atout blue woolen stockings.
To the tiny breaker boys coming
heme on . winter nights after a
hard day’s work these shan
ties, With their cheerful flres,
were welcome resting places,
where they might stand in front of
the fire unrebuked while black
streams ran from their grimy boots
over the shining floor. The shanties
have given place to formal tenements,
and the Irish miners are retreating
before thousands of even poorer la
borers from continental Europe,

A new fashion Chat is just begin
ning to grow in vogue is that of writ
ing letters in pencil rather than with
pen and iuk, and when onue it is
fairly established it is doubtful
whether anything but legal docu
ments and business papers that must
be preserved will ever be prepared in
the old style. Letters are generally
shorter nowadays than they formerly
were; are more hastily written, m?re
frequent and seldom worth keeping
for any length of time. They are not
the elaborate efforts of bygone days,
that were often cherished for their
intrinsic worth. The pencil, which is
far more convenient than the pen, is
taking its place in the great mass of
casual correspondence,
a Plain, dCrylajr Bone Shares the
Bulldlug With the President.
A horse has his home in the white
house, says a Washington correspon
dent. This is a literal fact which vis
itors never discover and which few
Washington people know. The horse
which shares the executive mansion
with the president isn’t a thorough
bred. He has neither pedigree nor
record. He Is just a plain, everyday
horse, with a white star in his fore
head, a faithful companion to Edgar
R. Beckley. And who is Edgar &
Beckley? The man who for twenty
Bve years has carried to and
from the White house all of the
Interesting and valuable mall re
ceived and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty. Rain
ar shine, in all seasons, he makes
hourly trips between the white house
ind the city postoffice. He is the
white house mall carrier. And the
horse that has his home in the white
house carries Beckley. The part of
the mansion set apart for the horse is
ane corner of the conservatory. A
thin partition is all that separates
the roomy stall from the orchids,
rhere is just room enough for the
itall and a temporary supply of feed,
»nd there the horse cats and sleeps,
under the same roof with ths presi
lent of tho United States. J
