HUNTING WILD HORSES
How Brumbies In New South Vales
Arc Trapped and Broken
Hunting brumbies as the wild
horses are called there is a favorite
sport in New South Wales Districts
like the Clarence and Stephens and
Manning river watershed are still the
home of numerous droves of brum
bies and hunting them is declared to
be a very exhilarating pastime The
first step taken is to stake out a corral
and make all secure except a narrow
entrance which can subsequently be
gated On either side of the entrance
and projecting from it funnel wise a
booby fence is prepared
To the simple minded brumby it
presumably looks like a stockade and
pieces of fluttering cotton make it look
impregnable When this is ready the
young bloods well mounted gallop
out and round up the wild hon es
driving them with shouts and much
loud snapping of stock whips toward
the mouth of the funnel
In a group of brumbies there is al
ways a leader and when ouce the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
of the rest of the drove The flutter
ing cotton rags of the sham fence aro
sufficient to deter the brumlres from
breaking through the flimsy barriers
and in less time than it takes to tell
the wild horses are safely corralled
and the big gate shut on them
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
to reflect on the situation and after
that they can be broken in without
much difficulty London Standard
Hearn as a Creative Artist
Ilearns creative faculty began where
creation is commonly held to end with
the material given Of the creative
gift in the sense in which the phrase
is applied to the poet he had not a par
ticle He was not a maker but a
shaper Dr Gould puts the matter
bluntly when he says He had no
original thing to say for he was en
tirely without creative power and had
always tr borrow theme and plot
And again Clearly and patently it
was a mind without creative ability
spring or the desire for it It was a
mind improcreaut by inheritance and
by education by necessity and by
training by poverty internal and ex
ternal The truth in these words be
comes evident when one recalls the
failure as fiction of every one of
fleams attempts in this field and the
fact that his greatest sr were
won in reclothing the idi as of other
men Forum
Very Clever
They tell a story in London of a cer
tain peer who had never before shown
the slightest interest in horse racing
that he surprised a young man of his
acquaintance by asking him apropos of
nothing which horse had won the Der
by The young man told him Tint
was very clover of him- replied the
peer Was it the first time he nv 1
it The young man stared but s M
Yes Then I call it very clever or

Parceling Out de People
Fishing two boys strung their big
catch on the same string Passing a
graveyard they entered the gate to
divide the catch dropping two fish
Just as they went Inside the cemetery
Passing an aged negro heard tho two
bovs Ill take this one you that oue
I this one you that oue I this one
you that oue etc
The ucgro listened in dismay and
ran away as rapidly as his old legs
could carry him lie met his negro
minister who called
Deacon why you run in such ter

Declare parson I been down yon
der by de graveyard and over de fence
heard de devil and de Lord parceling
out de people atween em
The parson laughed at the old mans
fright and made him go back with
him to the graveyard to convince him
of his error
The boys were still dividing You
take that I take this etc Finally
one boy asked What you going to do
with them two at the gate
This was more than parson or dea
con could stand and both ran pellmell
neither wishing to take any further
chances no matter what was going

Penguin Battles
The penguin a notable diver among
sea bird wins his mate by right of
conquest The male birds fight for the
possession of the females These cu
rious birds have regular duel grounds
where relics of innumerable combats
in the shape of feathers lie scattered
about In the center is the fighting
arena clear of all debris The pen
guins feathers and blubber form an
efficient shield against their opponents
beaks so the weapon used is the short
flipper the only wings the birds pos
sess The fight begins with the two
combatants walking round eacli other
waiting for an opportunity to grip
Once this is done the flippers come
into play The fighters shower blow
after blow upon each other There is
no record as to how these fights end
but it is a safe supposition to say that
they are seldom fatal The force of
the blow from a penguins flipper is
such that three or four of them will
draw blood from the human hand
How Models Make Piqtures
The artist gazed in rapture on The
Kiss his latest picture
Do you grasp he said the pas
sionate grace of the girls attitude the
warmth and the power wherewith her
tense ito arms draw the young man
closer ever closer Well I got that
idea from my model a shopgirl
But for my models suggestion Id
have put the girl in a stiff cold pose
and the picture would never have been
the masterpiece it is But ray model
pointed out to me the abandon where
with a girl whether of high or low
station gives herself up to a kiss
charm She illustrated the thing aid
ed by a male model a young medical
student Yes she made my picture
The fact is models make with
their valuable hints and suggestions
lots of pictures Theres many a mas
terpiece whose merit is due to the
splendid pose that tho model originated
for the principal figure New Orleans

Burmas Popular Sports
A form of speculation very popular in
Burma is bull racing A certain na
tive sportsman is the owner of one of
those bulls for which he has refused
an offer of 10000 rupees It has won
several races and is looked after and
as carefully tended as a Derby favorite
The owner values it at 23000 rupees
and it is said it brings him an annual
income of from 12000 to 13000 rupees
It is carefully guarded by four men
lest it may be got at and doctored
Burmans also patronize boxing ea
gerly but the art can scarcely be prac
ticed accoiding to Queensberry rules
for Ave are told by a provincial reporter
that he has observed that even the
best boxers strike out with their eyes
tightly shut and if they do hit each
other it is more by chance than any
thing else Calcutta Statesman
