The riata duel is not anew tain;' on
tbo Mexican frontier. Indeed, th'-ro is
L-rdly a biir eattlo range anywhere that
bas not its stork s of hard tight with
the las-io. Such duels an? bound to hi
fierce. Hut so skillful and muck do
these rope-throwers become that such a
duel not (infrequently lasii for hours.
I'rohaV'lv the best-remembered fit-'bi
of this. sort, says tho San Francisco Ex
aminer, was that between a Texan
known as Kid Kon j and a Utile Mexican
who was only spoken of as 'Cahilan"
bawk on the roat Lievre r:ino. They
circled around o;i.:h other, dodgin;,' the
rapid throws from ten in the morning
until after sunset. When the horses
bad almost given out the Texan threw
.jt his adversary, who threw hack so
that his noose passed right over
the other man's lasso and hand and
caught him fair around the neck and
under tho armpit. In almost no timo
Kid was out of his saddle and beinj
dragged over the ground at a rate that
knocked tho life out of him before he
had gono a hundred yards.
Tho West, during its wild and woolly
days, and the Mexican frontier have
had many rointrkablc daela. That be
tween :I-'armr" Peel and a soldier
near one of the forts in Utah is ainon?
tho classics of tho field of honor or
what has answered for That in tho cow
towns and mining camp. Tho weapons
were rifles, revolver and bowie-knives.
Th: principals were -placed on opposito
sid s of a hillock, abound which ran a
oad, and started to nn-et. The curve
)f the hill prevented their seeing one
mother until they were within a hun
dred yard. As soon as they saw one
another they both fired. Though part
of the ri:n of Peel's hat was cut off and
tLo soldier's sleeve was pierced, neither
was hiirt. Th'Mi they pulled their pistols
and advanced, firing-. H.H.h dropped
badly wounded when less than twenty
yards separated tUera. They lay there
hoi.rrt'ir.g and .shooting until both had
-niptied their weapons. I 'eel was des
perately hurt, and his adversary had
one ball through the btomach and
several others distribut'-d all over his
aiui'o.ny. When they could shoot no
more they lay for a short timo swear
ing Then Peel, who was so badly hurt
that he could not advance even on his
hards and knees, betran to wriggle
toward the fallen soldier. Ho pulled
himself ak-r.g with his elbows, and with
his .!: uninjured baud finished the sol
dier with hi bowie-knife.
Farther Peel already had the biggest
private graveyard of any man in the
vicinity. This encounter spread his
fame all over the coast, and when ho
vent over to Nevada he received every
where the homage of lesser knights.
Tin y have lots o' deadly encounters
up there to the CVrctoek. There was
one a number it years ucro f-'ii'ii l over
hair a t liie iiinb-ryroiuid. According- to
the evidence given at the inquest by the
s-irvivor. the two miners were working
a'.vne ia a drift. They wi re rival.! for
the a'Tt ; ious of a woman, and in a quar
rel :u- made a drive at the other with
his can 1 lesr iek. A miner's candlestick
cor.;-;;.!.! of .1 metal socket attached to a
sharp steel spike, so that it can bo
stuck in the f.ice of the drift anywhere.
The second miner defended himself
with his candlestick, and there, thou
sands of feet under the ground, they
vn.stled and stabbed until one's lifo
was gone. As they did not come up
when the j should have gone olT shift
others went down in search of them.
They found one deal and the other tin
conscious through loss of bleed The
jury, of course, had to take the sur
vivor's story of the affair, and lie was ac
quitted A ltttie blind ennyon in the Sierra
Madre used to furnish the Apaches with
the means of formally settling their dis
putes. This gulch is fairly alivo witn
rattlesnakes. When two bucks had a
quarrel that tbey did not wish to settle
olf band they repaired to this gully, and
while the remainder of tho tribe stood
around and watched from tho hills on
either side, the combatants went to
gether to where tho serpents were thick
est. There, stark naked and weapon
less, they would wrostlo. Thia would
wake up every rattler in tho glen. The
aim of each was to force the other on to
the angry snakes. It was not unusual for
both to bo bitten while they struggled
and rolled among the rocks. Kaeh was
bound to remain and wrestle as long as
hisadversary had lifo orstrength enough
to struggle with him.
A most remarkable duel was fought at
LasCarnitas, X. M., many years ago. An
undersired stranger came to tbo town
and picked a quarrel with "Handsome
Harry." a gambler renowned as a dead
shot. They pot out into the road and
both fell mortally wounded. It wasdis
covered that the stranger was a woman,
ar.d though she never spoke after she
fell, the story becara.'j known that she
was a sister of a girl whom "Handsome
Harry" had wronged years before.

A SPITEFUL SPIDER.
lie Keener In Flfrht with TketVit-
icu ur M.ic-uu si;hlKr.
I saw the other day an example of
genuine reasoning and bitter resentment
exhibited by a spider, writes St. Louis
Globe-Democrat correspondent. In one
corner of my yard, protected by an over
hanging cornice and porch," there are
several spidcr-weba, a4 in particular
two, one directly abov tho other at a
distance of about six inches, and each
tenanted by a large sf.ider. I was seated
in a chais in tho 6b ado on Sunday after
noon when I noticed them and picked up
a bit of a chip and tossed it into the
uppor web to see what the spider would
do. lie ran out and examined the chip,
but quickly deciding that it was of no
earthly value to a spider, set about getting-
rid of It. He was very methodical,
and went regularly round tho chip, cut
ting the threads on every side until the
chip finally hong by one strand,
which he severed, and it dropped into
tho web of the spider who was keep
ing house on the lower story. Out came
1he latter, thinking be had caught some
thing, but when he found the chip his
lage seemed unbounded. It evident
ly -wasn't the. first time his upper-story
neighbor had dumped his
refuso into the lower web, and he de
termined to stand it o longer. He
went up the ropes like an athlete, leav
ing the chip where it fell, and in an in
stant was in the upper web and engaged
in a deadly battle with its occupant.
Thoy had a terrible fight, and rolled
ever and over each other, biting and
hugging with the utmost ferocity. At
last in their tumbles they foil through
the hole where the chip had been cut
out and down into the lower web, which
seemed to frighten the upper spider,
who was a little larger, and after a few
more tumbles he got loose and escaped
up a rope to his own quarters, minus
the whole of one leg and the half of an
other. The lower spider climbed half
way up in pursuit, then stopped and
seemed to reflect. Ho waited a moment,
then concluded that he, too, had
enough, so he went back and cleared
out the chip and mended his web. I
dropped two or threo bits of straw into
tho upper web, but tho big spider paid
no attention. The other had given him
a lesson; bad, in spider language, set up
a sign: "No Dumping, Under Penalty
of tho Law," and be was not slow to take
a hint.
SHY'S GREAT RETREAT.
Ilk Shot Blx Indlnaa and Then the Keda
Om I'p I'nreult
A gentleman passed through the city
Sunday on his way to Kxcelsior Springs,
8a3'3 tho Kansas City Times, whoso
name three or four years ago was one of
the most popular in tho daily press of
that day. It was John T. Shy, of Deal
ing, X. M., whose deed of heroism in
saving his wife and family from marsacre
by a bund of savage Apaches after a run
ning fiuht of several miles will ever
make his name a conspicuous one in the
history of the West. The story is as
follows:
Mr. Shy had settled on a ranch In
Now Mexico with his wife and young
son. their place being seventeen miles
from any other settlement. The ranch
was attacked by a roving band of eigh
teen Apaches who sought to drivo off
tho stock. Mr. Shy, who was well
armed, and had plenty of ammunition,
placed bis wife and child in a place of
safety within the house and then
opened fire, which was returned. The
titrht was waged for somo timo,
till one of the Indians succeeded
in crawling up and setting fire to
the bouse. This necessitated flight; so,
sending Mrs. Shy forward under cover
of the smoke of tho burning building,
tho husband and father, carrying his
young son under his arm, made a dash
for tho cover of some thick brush which
was growing near by.
An Indian's bullot went through the
child's hip and lodged in the father's
body, but the fight went on. Mr. Shy
ran forward somo distance, and thon,
dropping the child into --the.. brush,
would faco about and fire at tho lead
ing pursuer, who would thus be brought
to a standstill for a time, then another
short flight and another stand to gain
time for Mrs. Shy, who was fleeing in
tho front, and so tho day was spent. The
Indians finally gave up the chase,
which had cost tbem no. less than six
warriors, and tho exhausted fugitives
managed to reach the city ot Dcming
with their lives. The wounds received
by both father . and son were. rapidly
healed, and now, when the hostiles are
forever ox polled from or killed out of
that neighborhood there is.no more
flourishing or happy family -in Now
Mexico than that of valorous John T.
Shy. . "

David YarboroLgh owns an orange
grove and an alligator farm on the St.
Johns river, in Florida, where he spends
his winters. When Yarborough bought
this place, five years ago, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, he issued orders
to his tenants that no one should be
allowed to shoot alligators on tho river
at that point. He wanted them to grow
and multiply until there were enough
of them to furnish exciting sport. -Not
an alligator was killed on the place
until last winter, when Yarborough
took a party of friends down to the farm
for a month's fishing and hunting. All
along the river which bounded one side
of the farm alligators were found in
abundance, and shooting them was the
favorite sport of the party. . ,. ,'tT-,t
One day Yarborough and his friends
were out on the river in a small boat to
try their luck fishing. They were very
successful, and about sundown started
homo. As they approached the boat
landing a huge 'gator was seen lying on
tho bank. Three shots wore fired at
him, but none of them reached a vital
spot, and the alligator made a dash for
the water, going straight toward the
boat. Tho boat was within ten feet of
the bank and the water was shallow.
Tho big saurian, in his mad dash for
deep water, ran under the boat and over
turned it. All tbo occupants were
thrown out on the side next the bank
and scrambled ashore except Yarbor
ough. He fell the other way and struck
the water right by the side of the alli
gator's long tail. Involuntarily he
grasped the tail of the saurian, and be
fore he fully realized what he was hold
ing to was drawn out into deep water.
Tho 'gator did not go to tho bottom,
but seemed to be making for the oppo
sito bank of tho river. Feeling some
thing on his tail ho began to lash the
water into foam, throwing Yarborough
around like ho had been a piece of cork.
Realizing that he was now in deep
water, and beinj a poor swimmer, Yar
borough held on for dear lifo and shout
ed to his companions on the bank tocomo
to his rescue. He was thrown astride tho
alligttor'8 tail, and leaning forward
clutched it with both arms as a drown
in man would grasp at a lifo-preserver.
The alligator increased his exertions to
rid himself of tho heavy incumbrance,
and about tho middle of tbo river Yar
borough was thrown off. and at the same
timo received a heavy blow on the head
which almost knocked him senseless. -
His friends on the bank had righted
tho boat as quickly as possible and were
pulling to bis rescue with all their
might. He managed to keep afloat un
til they reached him, when he was
dragged into the boat moro frightened
than hurt. Next day Yarborough in
structed his tenants to allow any one to
shoot alligators who wanted to. He had
bad all the fun with tbem be wanted. t

"THE ASLE ELACKSNAKE.
He Is a
Bad T!;'itrr from Away Hack
aoU 1 tar NoboJy.
Ask sny of the fartuors or huntf-rs in
tbis part of Jlonn County nhotber :
tbey axe afraid of rattlesnakes, says a
Canadensis (Pa ) correspondent of the !
New York Sun, and they will answer J
promptly tbat tbey don't mind them i
very much. Ask tbem if they fear J
biacksnakes. ana tbev will say yes with
out tbe slightest hesitation. Tbis fear
jf biacksnakes bas come down to roost
jf tbem from their parents with a story
tbat none of tbem is ever tired of telling-.
Tbey all declare tbat it is true,
aDl it is so well known and is told with
so much solemnity and evident fear by
tbo natives tbat it is bard to disbelieve
It- Tbe story runs like this-
Many years apo a well-to-do farmer
lived with bis family near tbe barren
land verging on Pike County. His wife
was city bred and unused to many of
tbe hardships that are a part of the
farming woman's life. She was strong
and hardy, however, with plenty of
nervo and grit enough to make the best
of things. One day. while ber husband
was working in & clearing a good dis
tance from tbe bouse, she went down 'to
tbe spring for a pail of water. As she
stooped over to fill the pail a black
snake, that bad been lying coiled near
the spring, jumped at ber. She screamed
and jumped back, but the snake bad
buried its fangs in ber dress, and before
she could recover herself sufficiently to
bake him off be bad wound himself
about ber so tightly as to prevent ber
from walking Tben be began slowly
to crawl upward. The poor woman
truck at tbe snake with ber bands
Tbey were badly bitten, but she was
so overcome with fright tbat she did not
mind tbis. and kept on striking atbim.
The serpent kept crawling up until bis
coils were about ber breast. She tried
to tear him loose, but 6be was not strong
enough. She became nearly paralyzed
by terror. Tbe snake finally coiled
himself around ber neck and choked
ber. She started toward the bouse, but
be bad only gone a sbort distance when
she fell. In tbe evening she was found
by ber busband lying dead, with the
snake still coiled aboct ber neck.
This story, with tbe well-known fact
tbat a blacksnake isever ready and will
ing to flgbt any thing tbat lives, makes
the native afraid of bim. and tbe man
who kills a blacksnake is thought to
bave won a greater battle tban the slayer
of a dozen rattlesnakes.
"You can't frighten a blacksnake,"
aid one old bunter. "and the more you
try to tbe more be ain't frightened. A
rattlesnake is a coward, and will run if
you give bim half a chance. If be
doesn't get tbe chance ie will rattle in
fear, and tben strike in desperation. A
rattlesnake's ti te is not nearly so danger
ous as many people suppose. All tbat
you bave to do to render tbe wound harm
less is to cut it as deep as tbe fangs went,
and tben go to tbe nearest brook and wash
it thoroughly. A common poultice will
soon beal tbe wound made by your knife.
But if a big blacksnake tackles you. and
you give bim tbe chance to get one coil
about your body. why. tben, look out.
for it ia your lifo or bis."
HOW DID IT FEED?
Perhape) It Got ita Itoard Oat of th Loe
That eBrroasdsd It.
The following, says tbe Chattanooga
News, is related by Frank Wyatt, of
Rome. Ga.. who bas been visiting rela
tives at Martindale. on theChattanooira,
Rome fc Columbus railroad, about thir
ty miles 60utbof Chattanooga. Frank
used to attend Sunday-school regularly
and is considered a truthful bey, with
out much mulbattonism flowing in bis
veins He says:
"My cousin owns a watermill, and in
removing some obstructions found an
immense log iu.lx JJ-d in tbe btrcam.
which must bave beea si.birt rprd for a
number of years The log Lad to bo cut
in two to rtmcve it. and tiarh tooLr
surprise we found it hollow although it
bad every appearance of being solid
One of tbo neproes while examining the
log looked into tbe hollow and thought
be saw something moving lie began
using his axe and soon bad tbo log cut
into in another place.
''I marine our amazement when we
discovered a live catii.-h which bad
grown to an enormous size and length,
and was so completely wedged in the
hollow as to be unable to move except
to open its moutb and wipelo its tail.
Tbef sh was very lively and apparently
in the enjoyment of excellent health.
"The question is bow did tbe fish get
into tbe log as the only means of in
gress or ogress we could discover was a
small, round bolo not more than two
inches in diameter. We surmised tbat
be roust bave entered tbo little opening
wben no larger than a minnow and
grown great ia bis solitary confinement-"
-
DRESS-MAKING PAYS.
Fortune Await Women Who Can Cot
and Fit Properly.
Kate Reilly, a well-known New York
dress-maker, tolls a reporter of the
World: "The woman who knows bow
to fit a dress properly can dictate ber
own terms, keep a carriage, wear
'purple and fine linen,' and recreate
three months of the year, luxuries, by
tbo way, in which this skillful artist is
able to indulge.
Mmc. Mary Ann Connelly has made
dresses for a'st the wealthy women in
New York, and to-day she owns a valu
able corner on Fifth avenue and three
of tbe handsomest cottages in Long
Ilranch cottages to which the Pullman,
Childs and Drexel estates are not to be
compared argument and proof that
dress-making is a good paying business
tbe possibilities of which are not ap
preciated by the intelligent women of
Jfew York who bave their way to make
in the world.
Now for some figures. Any woman
who can cut and fit a dress-waist not
botch it, but fit it to the figure can com
mand a salary of SI.OOO in any large city
in tbe Union. More tban that, she can
be as pert as she likes, save all the priv
ileges she wants, scold the help, boss
tbe customer, and pad ber back, shoul
ders and chest with, bair cloth and cot
ton batting.
Tbe forewoman who is able to take
charge of an establishment, and origin
ate designs can get a 5-, 50(1 position any
day in tbe week, with a trans-atlantio
.voyage and all expenses paid for a Paris
visit to see tbo styles.
A girl who can take a waist after it is
fitted and trim it gets thirty dollars a
week, and works from eight till six,
with an hour for lunch.
Shirt-cutters, who never sew a stitch,
are paid from S20 to S25, which is a much
better salary than the average teacher
in tbo public or private schools gets, and
not any thing like as bard on the nerv
ous system. Drapers earn from" S18 ta
$20 a week, waist finishers from 510 to
SI 5, skirt-makers from $5 to $10, and
sleeve-bands are in demand at which
is a lwtter salary than thousands of
typewriters in down-town offices are get
ting. A Pratalsra on Marriage.
Tbe Senate of Caracas bas lately
passed a measure erclodying tbo tax
ation of bachelors on the ground tbat
tbey enjoy peculiar privileges for which
they make no return. Fathers of fami
lies, say the Senate, support children
and promote tbe "moral perfection of
society." All bachelors must therefore
be taxed according to their incomes
and tbe revenue tbus derived shall pro
mote tbe introducing of other people's
children into Venezuela. fc-liouid such
a law pass tbe American Senate a bach
elor would soon be a ''rata avis."

who was sittinjr on tho roranJa at t ho

about the cornices of tbo tiouso for wv
oral rainutort. surveyed every nook ani
corner tint looked aocluded. and theu
alihted on a shavle tree aud compared
notes. For some time the birds had a
confab in low and arentlo tones, tbt-ir
actions indicating to tbe younjr man that
thoy hadn't found a place tbat exactly
suitl tbeni to wttlo down ia tor tho
summer. At tho close of tho conaulta
'.ion the wrena aailcd out of tbo tree and
strain went, to huntinj for a m-btmj.'-
I. !a e. and in a short time tho male ran
acros ono that seemed to suit him.
On ono of tho larpo wooden cate posts
tht-re was a lettor-boz in tbe ah ape of a
littlo house. It Lad a peaked roof, a
blot on tbe street siJo for tbe mail-carrier
to drop letters into, and a little
door n tbe yard side to lake tbeui out
or ft was sain ticbt. and it stood In
tbo shadow of a large maple.
In his Hoarch for nice summer quar

bis avinto tbe tox through tbe blot,
lie sieved in it less than a minute, and
tli en he Cow out, joined' his wife on a
lilac bush a tew yards away, and told
her ahout the coty spot be had discov
ered Mrs. V.'ren appeared to be all of
a flatter over tho pleasaDt nows ber
j.roud busbanJ had brought ber. and
away they both flewatence and entered
the slot.
r-etty soon they came out and Cew
across the street to an open field. It
was soon evident that Mrs. Wren was at
well i. leased with the bos as ber mate
was. tor is a t-lio'l timo tbey both sailed
bvk aain. ea:b carrying a ebort piece
of Iiraken t wijr In the bill. Those tbey
dropped in the bottom of the box. and
bak and forth the industrious little
fl'tiors went until iioon. when tbeyounfr
man looked into the box and found that
the wrens had carried in a good hand
ful of t tviiTS and nicely arranged tbem
as a foundation for their nest, lty
nvUtfall the birds bad got tbe rouph
wu'k on tbe nest pretty well under wav.
and the nex t day they nearly finished iu
When the young man told bis mother
about what the wrens bad done, she said
II. at tho little birda must be permitted,
to keep house ia the box. as well as pro
tected while tbey were raising a family
tbfro. So on Monday morning another
box fwr letters was rigged up oa the
other gate post, and iAvo lady of tbe
house watched fr the letter-carrier that
forenoon and roq seated bias not to d-rep
any uikre letters into the bctx where be
wrens had taken p their abode.
Oa tbo fence she placed fooJ that tbe
wrexia liked, and sho talked to tbem and
nuat thou) fuel that tbey were welcome.
Inside of a week the wrens got to be so
contented and conQdin; tbat they
dida'tseemto fear the woman or ber
daughters. Some sparrows undertook to
mol-?t the quiet birds in tbe box. but
tht" young man got bis gun and pep
pered away at tbem until those tbat
didn't get killed were glad to go.
About a week after the finishing touch
hud been put n the nest tbe female

and one day a very intelligent and
bighly-prized female houe-cat that be

A new letter-carrier poked throe let
ters through the slot one day and nearly
covered up the sitting wren, but sbo
didn't mind it. and in a few days sbo
batched out a nest full of little ones.
About tho same time the old rat gave

cat family were getting along finely and
were muoh admired by their friends, tbe
human family.
FRESHNESS REWARDED..
I low the Captain of a Tactile Maamer
I'roterted a Lady.
On a through Baatern train of the
Pennsylvania road, one day last week,
all the seats in tbe ear were takan ex
oept two. A lady sat in ono and a man
from the West with a big sombrero oc
cupied tbo other. Ho was a fine-looking,
manly follow, and was taken by
by those around him for a lawyer. At
the next station, say the Pittsburgh.
Iispatch, an anatlractive drummer
got on the car. He sized up the
situation at a glance. The lady was
pretty and that settled it. Without
even asking her be sat down by ber and
at once commenced to make himself
arre.ablo. Sho tried to avoid him and
looked out of the window, but the fel
low"! pall was itu maculate, and he
maintained tbe ono-aiJed conversation.
The Western man was calmly watching
the proceeding and stood it as long as
be could. Going p to tbe lady be said:
"Madam, I see you are annoyed.
Wouldnt yeu prefer to have my seat?"
W, thank yon, she replied, "certain
ly," and tbe bag man helped ber to
transfer her varliee, while tho other pas
sengers tittered at tbe drummer' dis
com 11 tura.
The latter was txailing over, but kept
down bis wratb ntil be get to Alfcxma.
and then be demanded satisfaction for
tbe insult. The words were scarcely
out of bis mouth before tho Western man
banged bim on tbe jaw, and theu with
his boot kicked bim around as a foot
ball. "Stand back," yelled some of tbo
ticklvd passengers. "Kick bim hard
er," they shouted together, and that
drummer finally crawled under a car to
escape further punishment, a wiser and
sadder man. EveryIody wanted to
know who tho Western man was. He
turned out to be the captain of a Pacific
mail steamer out on a vacation.
Th F.nd of III C'anrtettlp.
"Now. Maude," said the young man,
aliout. 11 p. m., "don't give mo any old
chestnuts. Do not say you will be a
sister " iust then the parlor door
opened and a hoarse voice said: "Young
man. let me be an assister to you." And
when Chappie picked himself up from
the green lawn in front of tbo doorstep
an 1 painfully limped bis way down to
the gate be breathed a prayer of thank
fulness that ho w as no closer related to
that family. The old tu-u tad bur, bi
