3. T. IlilL who for many years has been
engaged hi catllo raising In Texas anil the
Indian territory, remarked to a reporter
tho other dayi "In the early days of tho
cattle business In Texas, from 18-17 to
1S00, tho ranges were overrun by bonds
of wild horses. These animals wore a
groat culsatiro, as they would got mixed
with our loose horses and run them off
when any ono approached. As a rule thoy
were a rough, 111 shaped set of beaols, and
almost untainablo, so that fow attempts
wero over mode to catch them, It being
considered best to shoot them on sight
and thus get rid of a disturbing InQuonco
In our horr.8 herds. Sometimes, howover,
a really fine snlmal would bo seen and tho
ranch meu would try hard to secure It.
Hut tho ordinary mole of capture, lasso
ing, could seldom bo used ngnlmit wild
horses, and these bcusta were very shy.
ami even a poor horso, cwTylng no weight,
could outstrip s very fine animal with a
man ou bis back. 1 have chased wild
horses 100 times and have become thor
oughly convinced of tho truth of tho
English racing naylng that tho weight of
a stablo key will win or loso a raco.

It was discovered, 1 do not know how,
thut a blow upon a particular slnow In a
horse's beck, located Just abovo where tho
eplno joins tho skull, would paralyze the
animal temiKirarily without doing it any
permanent Injury. In those days tho
Texuns wcro nearly without exception
line bhots. and at short ran go could send
a rillo ball with phenomenal accuracy.
Tho horses could not be approached cx
ayt on foot, and It was impossible to
catch them ou horseback. But, not to bo
overcome by any such difllculttea, the
cowboys discovered a way to capture
them. Taking hU rule, a hunter would
crawl through tho thick chaparral until
within fifty or sixty yards of tho horse be
desired to secure. Thou, taking careful

the horse would full us If struck by light
ning aud remain luscnulble for ten or Of
teen minutes, recovering completely In an
hour or two, with no worse Injury than a
Blight wound hi the back of tho neck that
soon healed. Of course many bullets went
mttay uud hundreds of horses wero killed,
but a good shot would secure about oun
horso In three that ho attempted to
'rreiif.o,' as this modo of cupturo was
cidlcd
"The largo calibre riiles commonly lu
use wcro not adapted to this pocidlar modo
of hunting, as If they touched tho slnow
they weto sure to brouk It, and tho
wounds tho 41 or calibre balls lutltctod

soon as tho rider put his fcot iu tho stir

TeleenpherV Signal Code.
There la nothing that gladdens tbe eyes
of tho telegraph editor qulto as much as
tho magical "80." The compositor at the
caso likos to seo It, too. for ho knows It is
tha end of telegraph copy for the night.
The telegraph operator has a fancy for
"CO" also.as, Indeed, luvs every ono who has
anything to do with telegraph or a news
paper office. This '.TO" means literally
"tho end." and Is the signal tbat tho tele
graph report Is completo for tho tdght,
but just wby It should be so or bow this
came about no one can probably tell with
any accuracy, but It Is a part of a code of
signals adopted by telegraph operators
long ago. Tbcy hit upon It at random,
doubtless, and It serves its purpose satis
factorily. By the same token tho figure
"1" Is used as the signal, "Walt a min
ute;" "8," and sometimes "12," means
"I understand;" "IS" means "trouble;"
"2.V Is "busy on auothcr wire."
Thoso are the signals most commonly
used by operators engaged on ordinary
business or dispatches intended for tbe
newspapers, but signals and ciphers are
used In a thousand occupations. The
train dispatcher has his codo, and tho
signals therein save him a world of work
and pounding of the key. For Instance,
"7" may meau "tralu ordors" and "0" be
tho signal used by tbe president of tho
road. When "0" flashes along oveythlng
on tho wire gets out of the way, just as
everything Is sidetracked wheu tho presi
dent's car comes whizzing down the rolls.
It can be readily understood how these
signals savo tlm and labor, on the

Imaortaoc of Owning Land,
There la something worth thinking
about in the remarks of a UufTalonlau a
turned from California-; "Americans na
tive born hovo no idea of the Importance
of owning land. They have let foreigners
come here and boy hundreds of tlio Uganda
of acres of land, and Just because It was
cheap the American citizen wouldn't have
It Tho result is that when the values
rise, as In many cases out west, th
foreigner was the one to prlfit by it. In
Sun Francisco you will find a great many
very wealthy Chinamen who own valua
ble blocks of stores and flats, and who are
powerful competitors of the American
merchants. Vh rich Chinaman con
knock oat the rich American when It
comes to buying goods in China for export
to this country, and so It goes. Every
young native bora American, of whatever
parentage, should acquire at least some
real property if ho expects to keep up
with the 'band wagpa' la tha future."

Tho expansion of tho lungs aids to sup

enables tho body to oflcr resistance to tho

"Tcfl, Indued, wo entertain a decided

high prh'od hotel on upper Broadway.
"How is that?" Inquired a reporter.- "I

of Uoslon Common.
As is well known to Bostonlans through
the medium of Now York papers, tho
dwellers in this city are morbidly sensitive
to any disparaging reflections on tho slzo
or beauty of the common. As this sensi
tiveness is shared by old and young, tho
feelings of a young lady who took, hor
littlo country cousin, aged six, to seo the
common must havo boon hurt by tho
calmly critical way in which he looked it
over.
"This Is Boston common, Willie," she
sold; "wlmt do you think of it?"
"It's a pretty yardl" responded, the
youthful visitor. "A big yard, but it
ain't as big as our front yard down homo."
