Hunted Mustangs Leap to Death.
The annual wild mustang hunt be- :
gan in the valleys and mountains j
southwest of New Kanah. Utah.
Ranchmen from all over Northwestern 1
Arizona and Southwestern Utah, with
some from Nevada, gathered, and two- i I
score men mounted on the best horses
at their command and supplied with
relays to enable them to keep up the j
pursuit started.
A drove numbering fully 500 was
discovered, but it divided into three j
droves under the leadership of stal- j
lions. One drove was forced into a j
canyon where from a ledge the horses i
were compelled to jump twenty feet to j
safety across a gorge or fall on the j
rocks below.
Then another tried the leap. His i
forefeet caught, but he fell backward
to the rocks. Another and another followed.
Not a member of the drove j
failed to make the attempt. Three !
succeeded. The rest fell upon the !
rocks.
The little party of hunters came to i
the edge of the gorge and counted
twenty-eight horses on the rocks be- j <
low. Bullets soon put an end to the j 1

I THE MAROONING OF
s?\
3 By R. E,
MISS JOAN RYE was having
the last hat pin run
through the floppiest of
^l hats by her maid, so that,
3uite plainly, she was going out tc
brave the sun.
She rose as graceful as a panther,
and full of spirits, and went out
jwiftlv and silently into the park,
:aking care to evade any other of
lie Wattle House guests who might
)e about.
The kennels were in quite the op)osite
direction, but then Miss Rye
lad a passion for the waterside, par:icularly
this morning, when the sun
vas so riotously hot, and the mere
?ound of the swish in the reeds would
jo cooling. Also, nobody ever went
lown to the lake in the morning. She
vould be alone and unpestered for
)nce.
Captain Suttlebury could bestow his
nsufferable attentions upon the
* v _ i J ~ 4. 4
joimds. sue inugueu uiuuu ui mc
bought.
It was understood, as such matters
generally are understooil, that Miss
Rye was ilie destined bride of the
Captain. He was ugly, vulgar, and
>ne of the wealthiest of landowners,
>o that he could marry anyone he
?hose. And his choice seemed to be
Miss Joan Rye.
"Beauty and the Beast." as Lord
iVattle remarked to his distant conlection
and temporary private secretary,
Mr. Dick Maynard, anent this
iff air.
The young man nodded.
"I hope she'll refuse him," he said,
drowning.
"My dear man," said Lord Wattle,
'how can she? Lady Wattle gives
ue to understand that Miss Rye and
Shuttlebury have fixed it up, kindly
iiakiug my house the base of operadons.
He's a vulgar little brute, and
ie'll flutter around till she's worn
rat. Then I shall have to congratuate
him."
Maynard shut his mouth at this
feeble-minded view and busied himself
over his work. He spent a restess
night trying to devise disinterred
schemes whereby Beauty might
le saved from the toils, and woke
jarly and angry, with a conviction
hat a secretarial post precludes one
Tom undertaking the duties of a
might-errant.
He went down to the lake (because
in the morning nobody ever went
:here), got a rod from the waterman,
and, having punted himself across
:o the shady side, fixed the pole in
:he reeds by way of anchor, set his
3oat running, clinched his rod in the
lows, and promptly fell asleep among
:he cushions, with a pipe in his
nouth.
That Is why the following things
:ame to pass when about half an
lour later Miss Joan Rye came down
:o the boathouse, followed at a discreet
distance by the irrepressible
Daptain Suttlebury, who by an ill
;hance had marked Miss Rye's direc:ion,
and had not therefore taken the
:rouble to inquire of her maid as to
where she might be found. The Cap:ain
was feeling uncommonly sulky
ind spiteful, knowing he had exerted
[limself for some days past in a manner
that "no woman was worth,"
without marked success.
Meanwhile Joan came to the water's
?dge. A shimmering heat-haze lay
lightly over the lake, making dim
th> further shore under the hill,
whose imminent pines would, as she
knew, throw the coolest shadows, and
all among the rushes on either side
of the boathouse the coots wiuged
i flustered escape at her approaching.
Some white swans, too, oared themselves
off shore after the fashion of
shocked dignity. The waterman was
nowhere about, and Joan had to un
moor her own craft. She had fixed
on a Canadian canoe, and, having
seated herself, made away with
broad, gentle scoops of the paddle, rejoicing
in her liberty and her solitude.
She had disappeared into the haze
beyond Captain Suttlebury's view
before he was ready with the punt in
which he meant to follow. And on
the other side of the haze things
were happening of which Joan's first
intimation was this: Towards her,
from the opposite bank, came an apparently
unoccupied punt. It came
erratically, with slow jerks and
swerves to left and right. A stout
pike-rod was fixed in the bows and
bent almost to cracking.
"Some one must have_-been fishing
from it," thought Joan. The float
was invisible, but the taut line and
twisted reel showed her what was
the matter.' The fisher must have
gone ashore and a pike hooked himself-In
the meantime. How annoyed
the man would be! And then?
"Why, it's Mr. Maynard!" she said,
aloud, quite suddenly. "Asleep!"
She had wanted solitude, but somehow
was in no way vexed to come
o 1 a man. Otherwise she would not
have done what she did. That was to
faddie up to the punt and step aboard.
She took up the rod and freed the
reel carefully.
"What a splendid fish it must be!"
she said, feeling it delicately as she
reeled in a little. It must have been
the sporting instinct that was aroused,
tor she forgot her canoe and her de:
sire for solitude, and began to play
the fish.
Now, pike is not the gamest of
tnings that swim, but even a pike
will mnlrp snnif* stmjrflo nnd this
was a big one. Joan reeled in, and
the pike resisted, and the punt rocked
up and down. Presently from a dream
in which he and Captain Suttlebury
were exchanging pistol shots across
a pocket handkerchief?all for the
love of a lady?Dick Maynard awoke
and rubbed his eyes. The girl was
standing at the far end of the punt,
with feet firmly planted, tense in
every limb, and beautifully balancing
the heavy rod. She had not
called out for assistance, or begun
shaking, as some women do in their
excitement. He could imagine ner
lips quite firm and curved, and It
piqued him that he could only see
her back, and the back, curled clouds
or her hair.
i OF LIFE.
One must sing; of the mountains;
One must sing of the sea;
One must sing us the song of love,
And one in hate's shrill key;
Yet all will rise to the blending skies
In one grand harmony.
Love and hate and compassion,
Sorrow and right and wrong,
Past and future and war and peace?
Rise in an anthem strong,
And all will grow, as' they ebb and flow,
To life's unceasing song.

CAPTAIN SSITTLEBURY. I
Vernede. ^
"Can I help?'' he said half unwillingly.
She answered without turning her i
head.
"Have you got the landing net?"
"Yes."
He went forward, and she held up
the pike nearer the side. She was a
little breathless, but talked without
allowing her attention to be distracted
from the business on hand.
"You owe me a pair of gloves, Mr.
Moynard. Fast asleep?aren't you
ashamed?only an hour after breakfast?"
"Was I really asleep?"
"Were you?"
The pike was head up, trying to
furrow the tops of the water with
his narrow tail. Maynard made an
effectual dive with the net, the fish
shooting away to the right.
"Ahem! Good morning. Miss Joan."
They had both been so wrapped up
in their fishing that they had entirely
failed to notice the approach of Captain
Suttlebury in the second punt,
and at the very moment that he sent
thp linsp nf h5s r.nnt lntn theirs Afnv
nard bad the tall of the fish In the
net.
"^Well?" said Joan coldly.
Maynard had relieved her of the
rod and was reeling up the slack of
the line.
"Well?" repeated Joan, tapping her
foot.
"Er?I supposed I'd find you on the
lake," said Captain Suttlebury.
"lrou were looking for me?"
"Of course; it was just as well I
found you."
"Perhaps," said Joan. "It made me
lose a rather large pike."
Captain Suttlebury was dimly conscious
from her point that he was
expected to apologize. But that was
not his way?on the contrary, he felt
that he had a right to demand an
apology.
"I do not imagine," he said in his
pompous manner, "that your mother j
would approve of this sort of thing."
"What sort of thing?"
"Fishing with one of the s "
He had meant to say servants, but
caught Maynard's eye.
"Perhaps," she said meekly, "you j
are right. You are so often right,
Captain Suttlebury, aren't you? And
in any case I ought to consider it ;
luck in a way that you came, oughtn't
1? because my canoe has drifted off, j
and Mr. Maynard has lost his pole, |
and we might have been left here in
the middle of the lake for hours."
Maynard froze up. Nothing would j

na\e utexi more iuck.v, to ms way or
thinking, than the contingency men- 1
tioned, but he imagined Joan was !
making her submission. So did Cap- I
tain Suttleburv, and he assumed a
conquering pose.
"Lost his pole, has he?*' he inquired, 1
loftily.
' Yes," said Joan. "It is stuck in the ,
reeds. You can almost see it from
here."
"Then, Mr. What's-his-name," said
the Captain, turning towards Mayn- j
nrd, "you can take my punt and fetch
this pole hack here. After that you
can go. Miss Rye and I shan't need
you, d'ye see?"
He held out the pole belonging to
his own punt as he spoke, and for a
moment his fate hung in the balance.
Ihen Maynard puts his hands in his
pockets and turned tc Joan
"Am I to understand that Is what i
you wish?" he asked, stiffly.
"Please do," she said.
Because she wished it, he stepped
across on the other punt, disregard- j
ing even the supercilious smile with j
which Captain Suttlebury handed him i
the pole. Then, without a word, he '
pushed off. As the gap between the j
iwo puuis wiueueu 10 u yarn, uerore
either of the two were aware of It,
Joan had taken a running leap from
one to the other. She was beside
Maynard now, and the gap had grown
a gulf of a dozen yards, and the Captain's
smile turned to a stare of dismay.
"What the?what are you doing?"
he stuttered angrily.
Joan settled herself composedly
down among the cushions.
"Marooning you," she said.
"Maroo?maroo?what do you
mean?"
"For bad manners -on the high
seas," Joan explained affably. "I am
the pirate queen of the lake this
morning, and any one displeasing me
has to suffer. Your punishment is
to swim ashore or else wait until
someone calls for you. The pole is
in the reeds, remember, in case you
want it, and don't forget lunch is at
two. Good-by, Captain Suttlebury!"
She waved her hand at him mischievously
and beckoned Maynard to
pole on.
"You are sure ycu wish It?" he
asked, anxiously, "rdon't think he's !

"That is what I hope," she said.
And at that he ha'd. no more scruples.
"As fast as you can, please," sa'd j
Joan, "for I'm sure he's using bad j
language now, and I've been insulted j
enough for one morning. And I am I
so vexed to have made you lose that !
pike, Mr. Maynard "
Later in tne day Captain Suttlebury
was observed by 'he waterman and
rescued, but that was not until after
lunch, and everyone was curious to
know what had become of him. Not
aving the spirit to confess his dis- '
comfiture, he decided to leave Wat- ,
tie House by the next train, which i
he did, much to Mrs. Rye's grief.

Recommendations of the Congress.
-j- EWIS M. HAUPT of the
| r* Isthmian Canal Commission;
J V Captain H. M. Chittenden, of
the United States Engineers
at the Yellowstone .National I'ark,
and William Flerson Judson, Deputy
State Engineer and Surveyor, presented
soihe Interesting stereoptlcon
pictures before the International
Good Roads Congress at Buffalo. Mr.
Haupt showed some examples of
neglected highways in various parts
of the United States, and in contrast
some of the modern paths of business
and pleasure travel here and abroad,
and pointed out where ihe inability
to get produce to market at a critical
time had resulted in the less of much
more money to farmers that would
have been required to keep the road
in decent condition for travel.
Captain Chittenden's illustrations
were of road construction, and maintenance
in the vast National Park.
One remarkable contrast between
cost in different parts of the country
was brought out by Captain Chittenden,
who stated that the sprinkling
of the Yellowstone Park roads in dry
weather costs about $125 a mile, while
at the session of Wednesday Professor
Holmes, State Geologist of North
Carolina, cited instances where durable
roads had been built from clay
and sand in South Carolina for $125
a mile and did not require watering.
Ztfr. Judson showed how the HigbioArmstrong
law was working out the
salvation of country highways in New
York State.
Senator H. S. Earle, of Detroit
President of the League of American
Wheelmen, made a vigorous address,
In which he spoke or trie worn: accomplished
by wheelmen for road improvement,
and advocated placing a tax on
every seat in every wheeled vehicle
used on a road In the United States
to form a fund for the repairing and
rebuilding of roads.
The Committee on Resolutions made
a long report, some of the principal
recommendations being:
That* the work of the Government
Office of Public Road Inquiries in the
Department of Agriculture should be
enlarged Into a bureau, and that an
appropriation of $150,000 should be
made by Congress for this purpose.
That it is necessary for the purpose
of carrying on the work of good roads
construction to complete and protect
a chain of organization in each State,
Territory and county for thorough,
concerted action, and that the VicePresident
of each State for the National
Good Roads Association be authorized
to organize a State Good
Roads Association in his respective
State or Territory.
That we recommend the plan of
State supervision and co-operation to
the several States.
That this congress indorses the use
of the wide tire on all public roads
; nd the payment of the usual road
j* ? '-nftf aa/1 af {r% IoKa**
lUAt'5 ill I'U^U lujicau U1 ill 1U uui.
A committee of five was appointed
to see that the matter of a national
appropriation is placed before every
Representative and Senator in Congress.
A Fine Argnixient.
One of the best arguments yet offered
for road improvement is contained
in a report of the Industrial j
Commission on the distribution of
farm products. The important fact Is 1
there brought out that the cost of
hauling farm products to markets
over country roads is in excess of the
cost of operating all the railroads In
the United States. It has been shown
by careful inquiry that the average
haul of the American farmer in getting
his produce to market or to the
nearest shipping station is twelVe
miles. The average cost per ton for
hauling over the ordinary country
roads is twenty-five cents per mile,
or $2 per ton for a twelve-mile haul.
Careful estimates place the total number
of tons hauled at 300,000,000 per
annum, and this, at the average
twelve-mile haul, would make the
total cost $000,000,000, as compared
with the $81S,000,000 expense of railroad
management. These figures
ought to appeal to farmers. On them
tlie burden falls largely, as few of
them probably add the expense of
online trt tin* rnst of the Droduct.
Yet, with few exceptions, this class
of producers has stood in the way of
road improvement.
An Example to Imitate.
They have a very commendable way j
of displaying patriotism in China. The I
wealthy Chinaman who would seek
popularity at v;ke hands of his country
does not endow a hospital or get some j
one to raise a statue in his honor?no,
he just goes out, finds a bad bit of
road and has it carefully made up
into first-class form. Mrs. Bishop, the
well-known traveler, says she passed
some remarkable "highways of commerce,"
cut through the rocks in mountain
passes, scaffolded over rivers and
carried through galleries in which
were tablets in honor of the givers of
the road. Cycling is not yet a popular
institution in China, but at some future
date when the Flowery Kingdom
has contracted the "infection" of western
countries the names of these pioneers
of the good roads movement will
' - * ? i- ^ C
be Honored, not as xue ueueiauiuis ui
their particular locality, but of the
whole country.
An Automobile Highway.
"Some enterprising man has suggested
to Mr. Carnegie that instead of
building any more libraries he construct
a model road suitable for automobiles
clear across the United States.
That would surely be a high way of
spending his surplus million's."?San
Francisco Call.
Value of Object Lessons.
The United States has one service
able road where France has a hun- j
dred. A person who has bounced over
our country thoroughfares in the mud
of an early spring is willing to state
the case more forcibly.
Cows in the United States.
New York State has more cows than !
Pennsylvania and New Jersejr com- |
bined, and more than any other one
State in the Uonin, Iowa being second,
Illinois third and Wisconsin
fourth. The entire number of cows
in the States and Territories, in the
exact census figures, is 1G,292,360, with
a total valuation of $514,812,106.
The railways of Austria belong
largely to private companies, while
those of Germany are a Government
monopoly. _j
EXECRATION, IGNOMINY OBLIVION, j
Such Is tli? Fate of Wretches Like ;
Czolgosz, the Assassin.
The savage attack upon the wretch- I
ed assassin of President McKinley by {
the crowd gathered at the gates of ,
Auburn prison is another reminder of j
the execration in which such a criminal
is held by all the people.
In the World's interview with the ;
assassin of King Humbert the mur- |
derer complained of tbe fury of the
bystanders. "Everything and every- 1
body was against me," he said;
"every mother's son, every woman
and child present seemed bound to
kill me, or at least to harm me as
much as was in their power." And
he professed surprise and bitter dls- I
appointment that none of the "poor
people," or even the soldiers, whose
cause he thought he was serving,
' * .1 LU
Slioweu in? sugniesi rt'g;iru iur ma
life.
It has been the same here. Not a
solitary human being?not even the
most wild-eye of the Anarchists?has
expressed any sympathy with the assassin.
Only the armed guard of marines
at Buffalo saved him from instant
death. Only a strong detachment
of police prevented the crowd at
Auburn from despatching him. Even
his father bitterly lamented in bis
presence that he was ever born. Hl3
family are to change their name to
escape the ignominy and reproach
that attaches to it.
And for what? "It was a mistake!"
wailed the doomed man on his way
to prison and death. "Nobody was
helped." To complete the lesson, consider
the cowering and whimpering
wretch., his bravado all gone, "shaking
in the palsy of fear" and collapsing
iri abject terror as he was
dragged limp and shrieking to his cell.
And in "the week beginning October
2S" a lightning bolt of death, the body
destroyed with quicklime, and an unknown
grave!
Is it not well to recite these facts
for th? everlasting remembrance of
other half-baked intellects that contemplate
serving some nebulous
"cause"' or gaining the notoriety tney
mistake for fame by attacks upon the
heads of governments? Their reward
Is execration. Ignominy, oblivion!?

A Notable Bridge Feat.
In the transportation of logs from
the heart of the California timber
belt to the mills, an important engineering
feat las been accomplished. A
canon on the south fork of the American
River had to be traversed, and as
It was 1000 feet deep.it was determined
to build a steel-wire suspension tramway.
The distance across the canon
is 2850 feet Between the two terminal
towers the space is 2650 feet.
Two parallel cables span this immense
gap, without support between
the towers. On these cables runs a
cage conveying a car capable of carrying
3000 feet of greeu, and, therefore,
very heavy, timber on each trip. The
tower terminals are anchored in the
solid rock, supporting the cables, on
which, over the canon of a depth of
1000 feet, where the river's course
seems like a rivulet, passes to aud fro
the skeleton iron cage, running on
deep-grooved trolley-wheels, and carrying
its enormous load of green tim?
ber with great apparent ease.

Irg our elderly visitors in the modest
splendor of lavender, purple, blush
and white sweet peas; and there is a
hopeful optimism that comes to the
owner of a garden when she shares it
with the boys and girls whose homes
are bare of all beauty. Hopeful because
they are so grateful for the
little breast knot of flowers; hopeful,
because even that little thing wakens
a love of the good and the beautiful,
and then to better things. The one
so fortunate as to have a garden is
blessed with the means of conferring
much happiness and doing a vast
amount of real good.?Los Angeles

Late, Indeed.
The chairman of a lecture committee
of a literary society sat restlessly
on the stage before a large and waiting
audience, wondering why the expected
lecturer did not arrive. Finally,
he felt that some sort of an excuse
was necessary, and stepped to the
foot lights.
' Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "I
regret this delay and am unable to
account for the absence of Professor
Smvthe, who was to lecture here tonight.
He told me that he would be
on time if he was alive, and, as he
is not here, we must conclude that he
is dead."
Just then the professor rushed on
the stage all out of breath. "Ladies
i ;inii fpntlpmpii." continued the chair
man, "allow mo to Introduce to you
the late Professor Smythe, who will
now address us on The Inferno."?New

Turkish Fla^s Half-Masted.
The most remarkable feature
of the memorial services held in Con|
stantinople in honor of President McI
Kinley was that on the day of the
funeral the Ottoman guardship at
Therapia half-masted her flags. This
is quite unprecedented, as Turkish
flags are never half-masted. The
Egyptians do it regularly, but the
Turks look upon it as a bad omen and
insist that the Turkish flag shall always
be at the top of the mtst The
commander of the French gunboat
went on board the English gunboat to
thank the captam for having landed
a large party of marines and sailora

' The Japanese and Their Shirt Collars.
I The increase in stature among the
i Japanese is very perceptible; and the
: substitution of tepid and even cold wa'
ter for the hot baths among many of
; the people is responsible for an increas!
ing floridity of the complexion. Before
j the advent of military discipline on Eu|
ropean models the Japanese were not[
able as the smallest necked race in the
world, a firm of London collar makers
! with a large trade to Papan asserting
I that thirteen inches was the normal
circumference of a full-grown Japanese's
throat. In a little over twenty
I years, owing to more athletic develop|
ment, the average has risen an inch and
a half! To athletic development should
j also be added greater avoidupois, inasmuch
as a more generous diet and abj
stention from parboiling is bringing its
i reward in an accumulation of muscle
