dofkw into a grove of cottonwoods, wero
tlntpo dark objects that in the peculiar
utuptopheric ef.ndiii ns looked euor-
mopto. They were either wild cattle or
the wild burros of oar search and that
th^T bed seen us even ut this long di.;-
ta»tt was evident, fnr they stood a mo-
Yiipa, then turned and disappeared
do4tft the slope of Cottonwood canyon.
We jumped into tlie saddle and skirt-
edj^*' mountain siile as rapidly as pos-
sihto, then coming to an impenetrable
slop* dismounted and led the horses,
elito*g over tbo tains, until tho ridgo
was reached, then mounted and rodo
down into the canyon at full speed,
finally reaching the divide over which
tint mysterious game bad disappeared.
Ait vre approached we moved with the
gig—t caution and finally, looking
ov'ftr a ridge, saw before us a long mesa
rekctklng down into a green and deep
canyon. Tho mesa was covered with
loftw rocks, and in the center rose a
graftt mass of porphyry, grim and for
bidding. We rode carefully over the di-
viftb, when suddenly, changing our po-
sijftra. wo saw not «00 yards away tho
ttikM strange objects. There was no
irftotokiug them now. They were the
wdW burros—great brown and black fel
low*, their enormous ears standing
erect, all facing us and well bunched.
We stood perfectly still, wondering
if it were possible to get nearer before
mftking the charge, and then, as they
turned, we slipped behind the rocks and
nj* oor horses ut this barrier. But
\£ton me reached it wo found that the
canning burros had gone ut full speed
*10® or 500 yards and were again stand
ing waiting for developments. A little
entoyon entered tlie mesa near us, and
itftc this we walked and ran the horses
ufttfar cover for some distance, then,
loiclrfng to tho cinches, the lariat carrier
liftnng his rope in hand, we put spurs
tdf*nr horses and dashed up to tho di-
vgto. Our calculations had been correct.
Mb* 500 feet away stood the burros, ex-
utoJy as before, but looking fixedly at
the big rock where we had disappeared.
Ill* wind was from them, and they hud
not scented us. The moment we appear-
erf they wheeled like antelopes and
dashed away over the rocks, and there
fafcnved as wild a race as one would
<Jtoi to indulge in.
The horros ran like deer along the
iijcsa, while the mustangs, mad with
itoeitemeut, simply Hew over the field
of rock. It seemed incomprehensible
that a burro could distance a mustang,
yjftt these clumsy creatures, at home in
the rough country, gradually increased
their speed and plunged over tho rocks
with the greatest ease, uow down a
steep urroyo, dashing along the rocky
bottom, up the other side, pounding the
gravel, leaping gullies and finally mak
ing fur the mountain side. Their ma
neuvers showed their cunning, for they
invariably selected the roughest places,
hoping to discourage the horses.
The mustangs followed a breakneck
pace, yet never stumbling, until finally
we begun to gain, and then tho burses
spurted, and wo were upon tho flying
burros. We had no desire to injure
them and several times could have
touched them by an extra exertion. The
lariat wee now circling, and a moment
later it went whistling through the air
and dropped over tho long ears of a
burro. The broncho stopped, stiffened
back upon bis haunches, and the big
gest of the trio was suddenly arrested
in his flight. He did not surrender,
however, and finally broke tlie lariat
and rushed away, only to be rop'd
again after a pitiless chase.—(J. F.

A recent numb/r erf tlio North China

ministration of justice by a Chinese
magistrate which reminds oho of Bolo-
men Two brothera, well advanced in
age, quarreled over a piece of land which
they had jointly inherited from their
father and went to law. The native
magistrate hcanii.t'lio testimony on hdth
sides and determined that both were
wrong and both right, according to the
different points of view. Therefore, in
stead of rendering a judgment in favor
of either, he ordered that both be locked
up in a canguo \vi*th their heads fasten
ed face to f ace and kept there until they
settled their quarrel.
Thu caugueis a sort of cage in which
prisoners are placed with their necks
locked into a hole in a board. It resem

used for the punishment of malefactors
in olden times. When the brothers wero
placed in tho cangue, they were both
very stubborn and indignant, but to
ward the end of tho second day they be
gan to weaken aud on the third day
reached a satisfactory settlement and
wore released.

Italian Youth In ivcw York.
La Luce, an Italian paper of New
York-city, prints an open letter of V.
Palumbo to Mayor Van Wyck, in which
he says: “It is my impression that
there is a law that compels the attend
ance of children in the public schools
between the ages of 5 and 16 years.
Yet us far as the Italians in this coun
try are concerned this law seems to be
a dead letter. There is hardly a street
corner in this great city that boys of
tender ago are not seen engaged in pol
ishing and blacking shoes. There is not
a ferryboat plying between the ferries
and the shores of Long Island, Staten
Island aud Jersey City that those chil
dren are not seen on them engaged in
the humiliating work first mentioned.
Tlie humiliating part of it is that those
engaged are entirely young Italians.”

CHICAGO’S WATERWAY.
Tlie ftinnllest It Ivor tho I-ar-
Kest IInsiness In the World.
The smallest and fiHsiost river in the
world. Whore do yon think it is? Theo
dore Drei.s r locates it in Chicago, und
has tiiis to say ulxintit: The tirst pecul
iarity of this little stream is that it is
the smaller river doing tho largest bnsi-
uess in the world, or, in other words,
tho busiest river in tho world. In the
next place, it has the greatest depth for
the narrowest width of any known riv
er. In the third place, it has tho largest
number of bridges spanning it of any
river of equal or greater length, barring
the Mississippi—or a total of 52 bridges.
All these are draw or swinging bridges
aud carry a traffic of their own over
head almost as important as that which
passes below. Next, this river has little
or no current to sjxuik of, and flows up
ward instead of down. It is the only
known river whose current has been
turned round and made, as it were, to
flow the other way. Lastly, it is a sort j
of an orphan river, for, whereas all
rivers aud harbors are owned and cared
for hy Uk! United States government,
the secretary of war, whoso province if
is to care for these things, will have
nothing to do with it, and Chicago re- I
pairs it only sufficient for its now needs, j
but lays no claim to the right of way. |
In this strange predicament the little
stream flows wretchedly backward,
loaded with the large-t and most valua
ble collection of vessels that ever crowd-
< 1 au inland sea. It is one tumultuou-
highway, far more exciting than Broad-
ay r.::d somewhat less charming than
i u Hudson. The city uses it as au
emptying place for its sowers aud the
su et cleaning department as a dump
ing ground for its waste, and yet it
tlu most valuable factor in tho life of
Cl ieago, aud the ono more than all else
tk; t iias made tho city what it is today.
No other river in tho wide world pos-
s or pretends to the appearance of
thb peculiar stream. In its busiest
hou .- It is a sight for gods and men. A !
mcru < reck, it struggles with the burden |
of at. ocean. The great deep draft pro- j
pclh r.-; tear the water into splattering
In... i . :its. Their huge stacks often hide
the cm ire stream from view with great
clou is if smoko. Tho ingoing ami out-
going \(--.scls quarrel for the right of
way with all the vehemence inherent
in gongs and whistles. Tug pilots han
dle their craft with a skill that would
put to shame the manners of tho heavy
tean tors in a crowded New York lane.
Thu longest branch of the river today
is more than ten miles in length, and
tho total length of all branches is 1C.
At its mouth it is no more than 200 feet
wide, aud the fact that it is tho same
width a mile or two up stream is due to
the fact that it was made so hy excava
tion and dredging. At one time (1869)
it was 200 feet wide at Lake street, 175
feet wide at Randolph, a block further
on; 165 feet at Washington, 175 feet at
Madison—ail these but single blocks
apart—and so ou until it became so
small as to bo uuuavigahlo by boats
drawing ten feet of water. In that year,
however, it was dredged and made a
uniform width of 200 feet in the south
branch, aud it is kept that width hy
tlio walls of tho immense buildings
which have uow encroached to tho very
water’s edge, and which in most cases
form the only hanks visible.
It is interesting to note the peculiar
ities of this poor little stream. Nowhere
along its shores within the great city
limits is there a foot of unoccupied
ground where a tree may find root. No
branch or blade of green graces its
shores. No bountiful springs rise from
point to point and feed it. Its tribu
taries are dark, stone arched sewers
which empty their subterranean black
ness into it in continuous stream. Its
hanks are for the most part sheer walls
of red brick. Where tin open space oc
curs railroad tracks skirt the water’s
edge so closely as to stir a fear for the
safety of tho cars which lino them.
Lumber yards make up other portions,
aud groups of belching smokestacks,
sooty black, rise in forestliko numbers
at regular intervals. No single space
hut has some wharf or freight shed,
factory or warehouse filling up tho last
available inch, stockyards, lumber
yards, railroad yards, stonsyards, coal
yards—these interspersed with docks,
elevators, manufactories and breweries
make its banks interesting, if not beau
tiful.—Metropolitau.

Not worth paying attention
to, you say. Perhaps you
have had it for weeks.
It’s annoying because you
have a constant desire to
cough. It annoys you also
because you remember that
weak lungs is a family failing.
At first it is a slight cough.
At last it is a hemorrhage.
At first it is easy to cure.
At last, extremely difficult.
