HOW THE BUFFALO WAS DROWNED, A Texas Cowboy's Most Brilliant Feat ot Roplug. A group of cattlemen at the Live Stock Convention at El Keno were talk ing about the skill of the Oklahoma cowboys in throwing the lariat, when TL E. Word, Sr., whose home is at Higgins, Texas, but whose cattle are mostly in Oklahoma, said: "I had an experience roping when I was a young man which put me through a lively galt. As a Texan who had followed the range all his life, I felt that there was not a bronco on top of the ground thnt could throw me, and nothing on four legs that I couldn't rope and tie. In the summer of 1S71 1 was on the Little Arkansas River, five miles south of Wichita, Kan. I had a splendid horse, trained for tue range and almost as In telligent as a man. One afternoon I came soddenly upon five big buffalo bulls that had wandered away from the main herd. I pulled my pistol, killed one of them, and not having time to reload decided to rope one. Shortly afterward I found myself with a big job on my hands. "At the first throw my rope dropped around the old bull's horns. Now, when a buffalo makes up his mind to go anywhere In a rush he travels in a straight line. You may be able to turn him a little, but in the main he will keep his course. That was what this bull did. He headed toward the Little Arkansas, with the evident in tention of crossing it. My horse, al ways fearless when handling cattle, was timid when in close quarters with a b.nffalo. and I was unable to check the bull, who soon 1 id me going south at a lively clip. I was becoming of the opinion that the ony way out of my trouble was to cut my -rope and let the bull carry it off. "The Little Arkansas ls narrow in places, while at no great distance r.way will be found pools four and five feet deep and from twenty-five to forty feet wide. The bull rushed headlong into one of these pools. The opposite bank was. perpendicular and about a foot and a half above the water. Taking in the situation quickly, I saw that I could run out my rope far enough to enable my horse to cross at a nar row, .shallow place. He jumped across In fact ahead to keep going and jerked the rope taut just as the bull started to climb the bank. The jerk pulled the bull's nose into the water and his shaggy head against the perpendicular bank. He made a great uproar, but my horse held him there as in a vise. Strange as it may seem, I succeeded In keeping that bull's nose under wa ter until he drowned. I always re garded this as my most brilliant feat !n roping." Accented. "My dear madam," said the gentle man burglar, standing in the dim re flected light of Miss Arabella Oletimer's night-lamp-his voice was soft and low -the time wa^ two a. m.-"My dear madam, might I trouble you for your diamonds and cash-your stocks and bonds-your plate-your" "Oh, Lud!" sobbed Miss Oletlmer convulsively, "th-thls Is so sudden-but y-yes-y-you may ask papa."-Judge.

He would not have wanted the apple, he suid, but for Eve, That was exactly my cuso. Eve lived at No. 52, and I ut No. 51, I am not sure whero the apide lived, but it was at one of the two. 3t huug on a high branch o vor No. 52's gar den, but it fatted on the soil of No.54, for which I paid rent. It was Eve, of course, who railed my attention to it. I heard her voice through tho open window. She has an attractive voice. "Oh," look, mother!" she cried. "There is my apple." ..Hush, dear! It i^n't your apple at all. It belongs to the people uoxt door." "He isn't people," objected Eve. I am a bachelor. "Anyhow, the apple is his." "Is itV" She tossed her head. She has a graceful way of tos-dug her head. "Then he shau't have-it. Mr. Laytongaveit to me every year." Mr. Layton was my predecessor. "You know ho always lent me his ladder to get it." I felt iuclined to oller my ladder thero and then, but the timo, like the apple, was not ripe. As tue summer wont on the apple grew in size aud boan ty. Eve watched the apple, nud I watched Eve. She was so nice to watch that I did not oiler her the forbidden fruit. I re garded it as a hostage for ber regular appearance. "Look at its rosy cheeks, mother!" she used to say, teasingly. "If it gets much bigger it must drop." She mado motions expressing rapture. "Eve, dear," her mother protested, "von know it isn't yours." * "It would be if I had a ladder." Then she would give a merry little laugh. She has a charming way of laughing. The apple still huug on, however, and grew and grew. lu the dusk of evening Eve tried to reach it with a clothes prop-at least it lookod like Eve. I knew it was a clothes prop, because she let it drop over my wall, and it smashed three panes of a cucumber frame. Next morning she happened to be in the garden, so I returned it with grave ceremony. "I-I'm afraid it broke something," she apologized. "Not in the least," I assure! her. .Til tell Mary Jane not to stand it up against your wall again," she promised mendaciously. After that the apple blushed more furiously than ever. It was so ripe that it was marvelous how it held ou, I heard her say. She was probably unaware that I had climbed up one night and secured it with tine wire. Next^she tried knocking tennis balls at it Of course, she never went within a couplo of yards. I picked up nine balls next morning and re stored them to her. "I thought they were windfalls from my apple tree," I said, and she fled indoors. **I believe he was laughing at me," I heard her tell her mother. "Now, I will havo it." "No, no, dear! I forbid you to touch it. It's no use looking like that, Eve. I Bhall be really cross if you do." When I came home that evening the apple was still there, in all its glory, but when it grew dusk I noticed maneuvers with the prop going on once more. Finally I heard a cry of triumph, and the rustle of her skirts as she ran indoors. Theu I went out. I climbed tho tree, gathered about a gallon of apples aud sent them in with a note. "Dear Madam-I trust you will accept a few apples from my tree overhanging your garden, as I notice that there is only one upon your side. "I havo, however, a special roason for desiring that one. May I enter your garden to gather it? Yours very truly, F JUNK NEWTON. In a few minutes Sarah Ann re turned with Mrs. Parker's thanks, and an assurance that she wonld be pleased for me to gather the apple whenever I liked. So, aftor putting the ladder over the wall, I went round to their front door and knocked. I was shown into a cozy sitting-room. Mrs. Parker received me very pleasant ly, bnt Miss Eve was rather quiet, as a young'lady should be. "Yon will be surprised at my bothering you about a single apple," I said. "The fact is I want it for some one who has particularly admired it." "We have noticed, "said her mother with a side glance at Eve, "that it is a singularly fine apple." "An exceptionally fine apple," I agreed. "It would be almost impos sible to match it." "I should like to Bee it when you have picked it," Mrs. Parker con fessed. Eve said nothing. She ap peared to have become absorbed in a boole 'TU bring it in at once,"I promised. I went through the French window and ascended the tree. No one was looking, so I gathered another fine apple from my own side. When I re turned M?BS Eve had disappeared. "It doesn't look quite so large ofi the tree." I suggested, placing thc apple upon the table. , "No," said her mother, examining it critically, "I scarcely think it does: but it is a very fine one. " "Perhaps your daughter would Uki to see it?" "Ye-es." She langhed. "I au afraid it will make ber feel rathei envious." She rang the bell, and thc servant came. "Ask Miss Eve tc come for a moment, please." After a few minutes' waiting during which Mrs. Parker discovered that wt had some mutual friends, and askec me to call in there sometimes, pretty Eve reappeared, looking guiltily de fiant. "Mr. Newton wants you to see hil apple, Eve, dear. Isn't it a beauty?' Eve flushed and gave me a swif glance. "Yes," she said, hesitatingly. Sb< seemed to be studying the floor rathe than the fr nit. "It might be a fellow to the om that tempted Eve!" I observed, wit) L.?>/ />?>?.. . y,, a smile. She traced a pattern with her foot. ..Adam was also tempted." "By Eve, I believe? I don't fancy he wanted the applo much, did he?" She blnshed again. "You could not have a nicer apple than this, anyhow." She looked ?ight at me at last. Her eyes said quite plainly, "You needn't tell mother." As it' I had auy mich intention! "lam glad you like it," I said, "because I waut to give it to you, if I may. I could not help noticing that you admired i\" "There, Eve!" said her mother. "I told you that everyone would see that yon coveted it. " "I-I am sorry," she said,in a sub dued little voice. "Please don't say that, or you will spoil my ploasure in giving it." "Then-I am not sorry." She took it with a laugh. Soon afterward I went, assuring Mrs. Parker that I should soon avail myself of her kind invitation to call again. I hope they did not hear me laughing wheu I got indoors. Tho next day waa Sunday. In the afternoon Eve sat under the shado of my apple tree reading a book. So I strolled out and looked over the wall. "Eve," I remarked, "was turned out of paradise for stealiug au apple." ?She looked up aud smiled. Then she looked down. "The annual apple on this Bide has always belonged to Eve," she asserted pretending to cut the pages of her book. They were cut already. "She might spare a tiny piece for Adam," I suggested. She glanced at me out of the como' of her eyes. "Adam was bettor without the apple, you know," she assured rae. "Adam," I declared, "needed no pity at all." Sho rested her chin on one hand aud locked nt mo inqiiiriugly with her big eye?. I would put down how she lookel, if it were possible. It isn't. Mere ordinary charms of feature or coloring is common euough to have word!?. Beal prettiness is unique, un nameable; littl? wilful curves of the features, little waves of Ihe hair and "ways." She is pretty like that. "Adam," she remarked, "loBt Para dise and the apples." "But he had Eve." She studied her shoos, and I seated myself on lop of the wall. "You have p'enty of apples," she said; "and you are not shut out of Paradise." "Tbeu," I replied, promptly, "I will come in." I did. ? "How do you know this is Para dise?" sho asked, demurely. "Evo ?B here." ' Sho looked at mo saucily over her book. "Poor Eve was much to bo pitied." She simulated a sigh. "Because she lost Paradise?" "No; because she kept Adam." "Did she mind, do you think?" "Well-you see, it was just a very little bit her fault that he ate the apple." "She would have oaten every scrap herself if she had been a modern Eve." She looked up at tho desecrated bough und laughed. A stray sunbeam danced in her eyes, like the dazzle of diamonds. "I think she could be persuaded to share it with the modern Adam," she stated. Thereupon she dived under the chair cashion and produced it. "Now you have Paradise-and the apple," she told rae. "They are nothing," I said, feel ingly, "compared with-Eve." Bnt Eve-my dainty little Eve-is coming to No. 54 iu the spring. It will save any further dispute, she says, about the apple.-Owen Oliver, in Madame. PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A young woman who conducts a kindergarten in Chicago showed one day recently that she is ready to meet any emergency. Every morning she starts ont early in a big 'bus aud calls at the houses of her patrons, collecting the little ones intrusted to her care, and driving with them to the scene of their studies. In the afternoon they are taken home again in the same way. On the morning in question, through some unexplained accident, the 'bus got in front of a grip car, or a grip car ran into the 'bus. Fortunately none of the children were hurt, bnt one of the hind wheels was knocked off the 'bus and the twenty little chil dren tumbled and scrambled out into the street. The 'bus was useless, and the schoolroom was half H mile away -too far for the little ones to walk in the cold weather. Then the teacher showed how kindergarten training makes one ready to meet every emer gency. She marshaled her charges and let them into the closed car im mediately behind the grip, which hap pened, fortunately, to be entirely empty. The party almost filled thf seats on both sides of the car. Presently the conductor entered, intent on collecting fares. When he came in the kindergarten teacher handed him five cents. The conductor took the money and looked question ingly at the seats crowded with small children. "Who's goiu' to pay fer de kids?" he asked. "My dear sir," said the kindergar ten teacher, "these children are al! under five years old, and I am theil guardian. They ride free." And they did. -Chicago Tribune.

In washing glassware beware of placing it in hot water bottom, down, for that is the time that an ominous sound will tell of a crack from Budden expansion.

A soft rag for drying and a small brush, for polishing are nearly indispensable if you wish yonr cut glass to retain its brilliancy. Hints rJr the Kttclinn. Cases of poisoning have arisco through a careless disregard for the .leanliuess of the cooking utensils or of their perfect condition. Directly a copper saucepan shows sigus of being at all worn it should be returned, and iu any case nothiug of an acid nature should be allowed to remain in it while cooling. The same with regard to zinc and lead vessels, which are unsafe for cooking purposes. Those of tin, stoel, iron or nickel are the safost to employ. Remember, too, that it is better to uso a woodcu spoon than one of metal when stirring milk or soups, and that before using bakiug tins you shoujd grease them inside thoroughly either with butter or lard. In order to prevent them from horn ing it is as well to take the precaution of spriuking the shelves of the oven with salt. A Use for Oil. lo' h. . In moving from one house to another, carpets are often a source of worry to the prudent housekeeper. Sometimes they aro too largo, hut of teuer the room is a foot or two larger than tho carpet which must cover it. This may easily be reme died if tho t?oors aro good. But if they, aro too old for staining, straw matting is usually the first thing tho pimled housewife turns to for assist ance. A bright little woman, whose lim ited purse has taught tb be au expert con tri ver, recently moved into a house. Her sitting room carpet was much too small, leaving over a foot of bare floor on two sides of the room. The floor was too poor to admit of painting, and she did not wish to buy anything, so she sot hor wits to work. She found some old oilcloth in the attic. This BUo tacked down with the wrong side np, painted it a dark'red, gave it a coat of varnish, and the ef fect was that of a stained wood floor, Tho Tare of Cnce Birds. How and where will you keep yoni bira? That cleanliness is obviously of the first importance, and that it is hard to keep fanciful cages free from dirt and parasites, is enough to con demn them. Swiss cottages, pagodas and the like, hung with pendants and sparkling with metallic ornaments, are both tasteless and dangerous. The bird will pick at tho bright points and dangling spangles until it poisons or chokes itself, and the comers and crinkles are so many lodgings for dirt and vermin. "Wooden cages are to be avoided because subject to impurity, and brass ones on account of the great danger from verdigris, for tho gilding soon wears off. The gleaming wires are also harmful to a bird's eyes, and they offer no contrast with its yellow plumage. If yon must have a cage of the popular boll shape get a painted one, and repaint it as often as seems desirable. Where you shall place yonr canary or other bird to good advantage is a matter to consider carefully. In sara mer he enjoys being ont of doors or in an open window, but not in the direct hot sunshine, nor exposed to a shower, nor where dogs or cats, hawks or shrikes can seize him or perhaps frighten him to death. Remember that these little creatures may easily be frightened into illness or even death. -Harper's Bazar. For the r i fizz i riants. When choosing pots for piazza plants, as so many busy housewives are doing just now, great care should be taken to avoid inharmonious color schemes. The decorated stone flower pots are picturesque in themselves, but wheu a plant, the hue of whose blossoms wars with the color of the pot, is placed among the greenery it strikes a discordant note in the rest ful, pleasiug effect a "bowery" piazza is supposed to produce. Plain jars are best for flowering plauts, while palms look well .iu . those whioh are ornamented with figures in relief. Leeds ware is iuexpensive and the colors are clear and exquisite, those in deep yellow and palo blue being particularly desirable. There is also a deep, rich red bowl in this Avare made in several sizes, in which palms and other flowerless plants look su perb, and the Tokouabi jars, terra cotta with a raised decoration in gold, are very desirable for drawing room use,as they harmonize with almost any Burroundiugs. The blue and white O wari ware is also popular andSrell suited to any of tho dirk- oliaged plants. The custom which has pre vailed of late of putting palms and rubber plants in the vestibules and on the entrance steps of houses as soon as the weather is mild enough to per mit is a pleasing one, and very good for the plants, which have been housed so long, but when there ore a number, and one bowl is yellow, another bright blue and another-?red, the appearance is much that of ? shop with the various wares oxposed out side for sale.

A single battalion of Infantry, 1,000 strong-which is the strength of an English battalion-takes np a road length of 525 yards, including about eighty yards for stragglers. A bat tery of field artillery takes up 2G0 yards, and a regiment of cavalry tokes when marching four abreast, G?0 yards. .Au army corps, with its staff, wagons, guns, hospitals, etc., would extend over thirty-four miles of road. An army marches slowly on the best of roads. It Is much more tiring marching In a crowd than walking alone. Soldiers go at the rate of about two and one-half or two and three quarter miles an hour, and In the Eng lish army they do a good day's march when they cover thirteen miles. This accounts for the fact that when new.s Is printed of an army marching to at tack surprise Is expressed that the at tacked layed so loug. It takes a day or more for all the men to assemble on the battlefield. The rates of march for the various arms differ, of course; but the fastest arm has to suit its pace to the slowest. Herc are the English official rates: In fantry In small bodies, three mjles an hour; Infantry in large bodies, two and a half to two and three-quarter miles; cavalry, walking, four miles; cavalry, trotting, nine miles, cavalry, galloping, fifteen miles; artillery, walking, three smiles; artillery, trotting, eight miles. In our army the average march for Infantry ls from fifteen to twenty miles a day. When troops move In large bodies, and particularly In the vicinity of the enemy, the march Is conducted -In several columns so as to diminish the depth of the column and to ex pedite tho deployment into line of battle. In large commands the roads, If possible, are left to the artillery and trains. When long distances have to be covered rapidly, lt ls done by chang ing gaits. The most favorable ground Is selected for the double time, but core ls taken not to exhaust the troops Im mediately before engaging the enemy. Youthful Classification.
