TAKING AN ANTELOPE ALIVE. Leap From Pony to Tired Animal's Re Back Brought it Down. An old-timer in the San Luis Val- ' ley of Southern Colorado tells the Gri following story of the day, now long of past, when antelope grazed in great for numbers in the beautiful natural (in meadows along the Alamosa, Cone- tba jos and Rio Grande. uni A young school teacher named tra Paul Brown, came out from Ohio to sul spend the summer at my ranch. He ] wa^ a lover of hunting, but had shi never had a chance at any kind of hes big game. No sooner did he learn brc that there were antelope in our neigh- pai bor hood than he made up his mind sea to get one. the I gave him an old buckskin bron- the cho cow pony, not much for looks, me but with an amazing amount of wind, ing He could gallop 12 hours with almost to no rest, and be none the worse for it the the next day. bo* As Brown rode along the Conejos jnt River one morning he jumped a buck the out of the tall grass almost under his bu< horse's nose. The antelope ran, and jati Brown was so startled that he entire- jnti ly forgot his rifle. But the pony laid wh back his ears and started in pursuit ed of the fleeing antelope. At the first ves jump his hind legs struck the end pos v of the rifle barrel and knocked it out boa of the saddle scabbard. Brown was cee too busy keeping the antelope in sight 0f to notice its loss. brc The antelope soon got out of the y0] tall grass, and settled down to a <jje steady run on the open prairie, with ber the plucky little cow pony about 100 cer yards behind. Brown then remem- rje( bered that he had a rifle, and reached y0l down for it. The gun was gone, and he had no time to go back and hunt ver it so he made up his mind to run the bjs antelope down and capture it alive. j The buck ran in a great circle and the at the end of an hour or a little more ^e, had finished the first lap. The gap between himself and the pony was prg about the same as at the start. When- S0I] ever the antelope sprinted, the buck- baj skin was equal to the occasion, and bei [ held his own. Both animals showed der signs of weakening at the end of the hQ1 second hour. j Then Brown had a happy thought. beg His saddle weighed about 40 pounds. of The pony would last longer if he Ca] could get rid of the saddle. So, lean- baj ing down. Brown loosened the cinchee. When everything was loose he slipped over the horn to the pony's shoulders and pushed the saddle off tb-, x behind him. not Relieved of that weight the pony We began to gain slowly, and at the end wg] of another half hour was less than 50 i Sat yards behind. The antelope was pret- , ty thoroughly exhausted, and the pony was breathing hard, but at the e?j end of five minutes was running neck and necK wun tae umeiupc. j Brown then realized that he should bQg have kept his rope when he threw ScfcV the saddle away. He did not even siu< have a pocketknife. He did not know . A . it. what to do. fine Then he had an inspiration. Pulling off his coat and holding it under his arm he climbed on the pony's b shoulders and made a flying leap on top of the antelope. By chance he landed squarely astride the buck's back. The antelope was pretty well _ t nr worn out, and with the additional weight of the rider he tired rapidly. , Brown then threw his coat over the buck's head and tied the 6leeves together under his throat. The blindfolded antelope stepped into a hole ^ c fl 6 and fell. Brown went over the antelope's head and landed uninjured just in front of his horse, which had come re? to a standstill. Jumping up Brown unsnapped one of the bridle reins, a s \V G and before the exhausted buck could me regain his feet the man had him scbe curely hog-tied. Leaving the antelope tied and blind- . jaff folded Brown started home, and reached the ranch house just about 0l the dark. He told me his experience, los but he had plenty of trouble making me believe his story. The next morn- ^01 ing. however, I hitched a team to the wagon and started out with him for his game. I Lad to believe his story Hai when we reached the place and founa the antelope tied and blindfolded. We loaded the buck into the wagon I and, after using up the remainder cei' of the day finding Brown's gun and Caj saddle, drove back to tl:e ranch far house.

The arrival here of the steamship egory of the Booth Line, in charge 1 Capt. W. T. Aspinwall, to coal be- \ e proceeding to the Amazon river ? Brazil, recalls an heroic episode J1 it occurred last winter that was 1 ique among the romances and . gedies of the sea. The facts are 1 istantially as follows: ?arlv in January the tank steam- r p Oklahoma broke her back in a ivy gale in mid-Atlantic. She n >ke completely in two and the e ts were separated by the raging a .. In response to an S 0 S call, r steamship Gregory arrived on i scene some hours later. The five n who had clung to the still float- 11 stern of the Oklahoma had taken f< the only boat they had, and as y approached the Gregory, the n it capsized and they were thrown 0 the sea. Without hesitation f 1 three officers of the Gregory? 1? ck, Williams and Roberts?the ter with his boots on?plunged M 0 the icy and tumultous Atlantic, a He Captain Aspinwalll accomplish- 81 the difficult task of holding his e sel in a position where it was sible for them to get back on f< ird. The three gallant sailors sueded in the almost incredible task t! rescuing five of the castaways and a iught four of them 6afely to New a rk, the fifth, poor chap, having d on board. It is worth remem- a ing that one of the rescuing offi- 0 s?Buck?was but recently mar- C; 1 and was on his way to rejoin his s< mg bride. It is said that Capt. jinwall reprimanded Roberts se- ^ olv fnr imrminer overboard with ^ boots on. w :t is gratifying to recall that upon 0 i arrival of these brave men in F tv York, the Press Club of that 7 tendered them a banquet and F ssented to each of them a band- F ae gold medal. The United States F > also taken cognizance of their oic action and congress has or- n ed medals to b(e struck off in their ^ lor. b :n responding to the lavish praise p itowed upon them the demeanor g the sailors was modest and manly. u ?t. Aspinwall, who is more than F f a Celt, told his story with the h ichalance of a sea dog and the in- c' lance of a child. "For what we he said, "I never expected any- d ng like this.

Enormous Fortune Spent Every Year to Keep Up Royal Establishment, King George is in negotiation with he treasury for what is in euphemisic official language termed "an adustment of the royal revenues." or, a plainer language, an increased alowance from the nation's purse. It . ould, of course, be impossible, in he present state of political feeling a England and with an advanced adical at the head of the treasury or his majesty to apply to parlialent for an increased allowance, and ven if this were done the chances re that the application would be efused. But it is within the power of the reasury to grant the sovereign an icrease in certain allowances made Dr special purposes, and this is what ling George and Queen Mary are ow hoping to get the treasury to do. King George, in regard to the evenues he receives from the state, > in a rather peculiar positon. In tie late reign the annual charges for rhat is called the Royal Civic List, mounted to $2,000,000, but special applementary grants were made very year to the sovereign to defray tie expenses of entertaining royal areign visitors, ordinary state enjrtainments, but not private enterlinments, such as shooting parties t Sandrinkham, etc., and lighting nd laundry expenses. King George on his accession greed to accept a special allowance ' ooor AAA r\/v? dnnnm on /I H1C i pci auuuui UUU WW barge all these extra expenses him2lf. Ths sum was arrived at by taklg the annual average allowance uring the last three years of King !dward's reign of the expenses it as supposed to cover and it worked ut as follows: 'or entertaining royal visitors $ 75,000 or state entertainments .... 100,000 'or laundry 30,000 'or light 20,000 With .regard to the expense in conection with the entertainment of areign royal visitors King George, y entering into this agreement, aparently made an extraordinarily ood bargain, for since his accession ntil the recent visit of the king of enmark not a single crowned head ad been entertained at the English ourt. It is true thac the French presient was entertained by the king ist year, but the cost of entertaining le president of a republic is much ;ss than the expense involved by ntertaining a sovereign like the aiser, who comes accompanied by a erfect army of household officials nd servants. For instance, in the ite reign the cost of entertaining le kaiser at Winds'or in 1906, was stimated at $35,000, while the cost f entertaining M. Loubet, the 'rench president, three years later, as estimated at $12,000. T~ faiorn f Vl OVT1PT1.QP nf HI 111C laic WUV ne annual entertainment (the Windsr garden party), which is ^eckond as a state function, was estimated sgularly at $5,000, which Nwas but 2.50 a head; the actual cost was lore like $4,25 a head, as Queen lueen Mary discovered when their lajesties were contemplating giving le garden party the first year the ourt was out of mourning. In consquence the garden party was not iven and never has been in the resent reign. v There are the courts, the state alls, the big state dinner parties nd the official entertainments at Windsor in the autumn. One way nd another, cut the matter as finely s they can, the king and queen canot do the entertaining that is exected of their majesties at a cost luch under $200,000 per annum, rhich is $100,000 more than they et for doing it. Her majesty's suggestion is that te treasury should treble the grant lade in respect of the money for tate entertainments, whoch would lean raising it to $300,000 per anum instead of $100,000, but this ie treasury is not likely to do. The treasury, however, has offered 3 double the allowance made for onfortainmcnts. and if the king .aiu guw , annot get any further concession he ill. of course, accept this offer and y reducing as far as possible the ast of all royal entertaining will be ble to avoid actual loss and the ecessitv of bringing the royal reveues under parliamentary review.? ew York Press.
