Colonel Jack Chinn, tho man who re cently hart the temerity to charj?o, pnb lioly mid over hia own Hixuntnre, that Governor Bradley of Kentucky is a cow ard of the baspxt brand, Ik one of those picturesque characters who mako poli tics in the bine grans region an exciting and often a fatal game. Some editor from the safe vantage of distance has in timated that Colonel Chinn is a bad man only as indicated by hia name. If that editor lived in Kentucky, thin would he about the Lift mistake of tlx kind that he wonld hnve a chance to make. The colonel has a national reputation as a horse breeder and trainer. For three generation the Chimin have fin tired in turf history, and every racing WILD HORSES. COI.O.Ba JACK CHINS. man In the con.trvknowH Colonel Jack. His fame as a filter is eqnully gwnt. The prospect of a personal eucountnr is the only thiiiR that will lure him from the race track or stable. When the war broke nut, ho swung into tho saddle be hind Morgan and became one of that celebrated bund of raiders. The taste for spilling blood that he then acquired be baa never quite outgrown. Eia exploits hnve been niany and lnrid, bnt perhaps the most sensational occurred during a race meeting in Chicago. A lifetime enemy of Chinn had given out thut he wai in Chicago "for the purpose of pull ing off a race or two and killing Jack Chinn." The two first saw each other while driving in opposite directions on m orowded boulevard. Both made a si multaneous movement fur the hip pocket, and for a minute or two the air was full of ballets. Nobody was hurt, however, and by the time their six shooters were empty they were out of range. Bnt the bowie knife and not the re volver is the colonel's favorite weapon. He carries oue constantly iu hia front trousers pocket. The blade can be shut up like a pouketkuife, but when a spring is pressed it flies open and locks. If Gov ernor Bradley or any of his friends had resented the colonel's epithet, that bowie might have played an important part in the subsequent proceedings. Too Vacua on On Point. "Your story is u little vague at one point," suid the publisher, and the young woman naturally wanted to know the whereubnuts of the alleged vague ness. "Where you say, "exclaimed the pub lisher, "that 'she, defeated in argument, had uo recourse but to woman's most effective weupous against the tyrait man. ' Now, do yon refer there to tears or flatirous?"

Their Capture nn Imluntrr In Anatralla. Where Ttity Ahntiml. As h rule, tho herds number from 10 to 1 2, made up of mares and oue stal lion. No ftallion will allow another stallion in his herd, and stnliborn fights freimently occur between horses owing to tills. The beaten males, after being expelled, join herds exclusively of stal lions. On any herds being sighted by hunters a good idea can generally be formed by the experienced man as to which ronte the animals will tnko in their way to the nipped hills, for which they invariably make when disturbed. A scheme is manned out to cut them off if possible, and tho party scatters, each to take tip his allotted position. Of course while doing this every advantago is taken of the natural inequalities of the ground, so us to escape, observation When the alarm is given, however, all need for caution is at an end, and each hunter puts liis steed to full gallop. The stallion, tho head of the hord, boldly comes out t) meet him, and endeavors to distract nt tent ion from the rest. In some rare instances he is lassoed nnd captured at once, but ho generally manages to rejoin his wives, which by this time have trooped into single file, with his favorite mare in the lead. Should the herd be turned and pet into difficulties the stallion takes up his po sition iu the van, and the great object is to cut him off from tho rest. Should this be accomplished both ho ant the mares become confused, und the lassoers often uinmigo to make two or throe per man. Instances have been known where horses havo been thrown to the ground by the hnnnter's giving a violent jerk to tho animal's tail when it was mak ing an nlu'npt turn. When this quarry is brought down, cither by this method or the use of the lasso, the rider jumps from his teed, whips a "blinder" (a handkerchief is nsedwheu thero is noth ing else procurable) over tho prostrate horse's eyes and straps up one of his fore legs securely. If thia is properly done, the animul may safely be left "until called for," for no horse thus se cured can tray far. Should a man be so unlucky as to capture a branded horse or a fual run ning with a branded mare, he cannot keep it, but all others become the prop erty of the hunter, and after they under go a rough and reudy process of break ing in, they are sold at prices ranging from 1 os. to 15. The later figure, however, is seldom reached, unless in the case of exceptionally fine stallions. Great numbers of these horses die from starvation iu the winter time, but still the herds show no signs of diminution. 'Chambers' Journal. Therapln. tho Newport of tho East.

No wonder opposition is aroused when, after all, if you wero only in a quiet way informed of what was expect ed, yon would readily enough fall into line. Here are some good rules to begin with: Hat lifted in saying "Ooodbyl" or "How do yon do!" Hat lifted when offering a seat iu a train or omnibus or iu acknowledging a favor. Keep step with any one you walk with. Always precede a lady np stairs nnd ask her if you may preoedo her in pass ing throngh a crowd or pnblio place. Hat off tho moment yon entor a street door and when yon step into a privato hall or office. Let a ldy pass first always unless she asks you to precede hor. In the drawing room stand till every lady in tho room is Heated; also older people. Rise if a lady comos in after yon are seated and stand till she takes a Beat. Look people straight in the fuco when speaking or being spoken to. Let ladies pass through a door first, standing aside for them. Iu the dining room tnko your scat aft er ladies and elders. Never play with knife, fork or spoon. Do not tako your napkin in u bunch in your hand. Eut us fast or as slow as the others and finish the conrse when tliey da If Ton Don't Want Cat to Run Away.

I have told yon of the Spuuiurd who always put on his spectacles when about to eat cherries, that they might look bigger and moretemptiug. In like man ner I make the most of my enjoyments, and, though I do not cast my eura away, I pack them in as little compass as I can and carry them as conveniently aa I can for myself and never let them an noy others. Houthey. Yon will find it less easy to uproot fuults than to choke them by gaining virtue. Do not think of yonr faults, still less of others' faults. Iu every person who comes near you look for what ia good and strong. Honor that, rejoioe iu it, und, as you can, try to imitute it, and your faults will drop off like dead leuves when their time comas. John Ruskiu. Rainy Day Troubles.

A Big Difference There's a big difference iu ways of doing business. SOME DEALERS simply strive to get a custo mer in their store, sell as much as Ihey can at one sale by misrepresentation, and never expect to see that cus tomer again. My Way is to always satisfy a buyer, no matter how small the profit. Thia method makes permanent patrons, and my trade is largely made up of customers who have been coming back to my store year after year. Try my way once, and you'll keep coming back the same way, too. My stock consists of Fresh Groceries, Flour and Feed, Country Produce, &c. My goods are all of the best grades. I don't handle impure groceries. P. T. WALSH. Main Btrkkt. I don't go much on fashions, An' nil that kind o' thing, With dresses that's cut decultay, An' sleeves like bar'ls, by jing! I don't take stock iu the notion That women can't dress ns they please Providin', of course, that it's proper An' gives them a feelin' of ease. Last fall I drove in with the wagon, And our llosie Jane come along Puffiest girl in the county, io lively, an' limber, an' strong; Hoys all a-dyin' to win her, No gal in the valley her like An' she sported the turkey-red bloomers She'd made to wear on her bike. As we reached Tom's store I noticed His kid was a-playin' near, When all to once come a shoutin' An' straight down the road loped a steer. An' straight fer the kid he headed; Why, blame me, if I could yell When something red whizzed by me A pedalin' just like well. Of course it was our Hosie; She rode past the critter's head; She knew that she could turn him When he saw the turkey red. For a breath I thought he had her, My heart just stood stock still; But, lawsey, how she dodged him And drew him down the hill! The boys come up a-runnin', An' we stood there in a line A watchin' them red bloomers An' the crazy brute behin'; At last I turned the bosses An' let 'em have the whip, An' down that break-neck highway We went a mighty clip. A mile away the poor critter, Clean beat, had tumbled kerslump; An' there, by her wheel, "Little Bloomers" Was rest in' herself on a stump. I felt so blamed proud that I blubbered, But Hosie just said, with a grin: "Say, daddy, I've busted some gathers, Please lend 'Little Bloomers' a pin." That's why I'm mad when the fogies Think they've the right to assert That womankind's scheme of salvation Depends on the length of her skirt. Seems to me that savin' a baby Beats petticoats, roomy or small; An' I guess the angles '11 take Kosie, An' carry her in, bloomers V all. If. Jl.lio.se.
