A Story of tha Blending of Ridskin Cruelty and Cunning. 3J J O I AJ reputation of being tbp most skilful lusso thrower in the Southwest, w here it is conceded tlm$ the most manipulators of the lasso "WOW wuiuierlul have their homes. Some of Juan's exploits sound In- credible. He engaged in numerous contests ut Albuquerque, Tombstone, Tucson, Phoenix and many of the frontier posts, and in every one be was the victor. Many a time he would dash forward at full speed, lean over from his saddle, scrape a match ou a stone and light his cigarette, as he swung back, and then flirt the loop of his coiled rope under the heel of some galloping bull, aud whirl over , the latter In a flash on his side. As is well known, the ranchmen In the Southwest used to' suffer a great deal from the ravaging Apaches, but at the time referred to moat of them were on their reservation and comparative peace reigned. Now and then a maverick was killed and roasted by some prowling bucks, and occasionally shots werf exchanged with them, but nothing took place to cause general alarm, Nevertheless, the cowboys were too wise to trust an Apache. Kindness and charity to any of the scowling miscreants was quite certain to be repaid with robbef.v and assassination. It was duriug the illness of his two men that Juan set out to bring back half a score of cattle that had drifted away from others. He went on the Journey alone, though he half suspected wandering Apaches were at the bottom of the trouble. He told the other men to give their attention to the main herd, browsing a couple of milts distant while he set out to round up and bring In the estrays. Juan followed the cattle by means of the trail they bad left, and bad not gone far before, from the imprints on the hard earth, he discovered that it Was as he suspected. Three mounted bucks had managed to cut out the cattle unseen, and were making toward the mountains with thou. The discovery angered him, and instead of riding back for help he pushed on alone. He knew that If he took time to go after some of his comrades, the thieves would get off beyond recovery. Besides, there were only three of them, and he was not afraid to pursue and fight them. Juan always had his lasso coiled on his saddle hook, and the afternoon was well advanced when he came to a deep depression, where there was a slight growth of brush and stunted grass. It was of such slight extent that he could see the open country beyond, and with no thought of coming upon the thieves, be spurred bis pony Into the place, expecting to debouch on the other side and speedily run the rogues to earth. At the moment of entering the undergrowth three Winchesters were discharged together, and his horse lunged forward and went down on his nose, breathing his last within a few seconds. The Apaches could not have aimed at the rider, for they fired st such a abort distance that it was Impossible to miss, and It would have been unaccountable that they should have wished to kill only the horse, except for the incidents that followed and explained their action. The fall from the pony was so sudden that, despite his fine horseman-ahip- , Juan was flung several yards ever his head, and was slightly dazed sae for the moment He was In a fury, for he knew that him three cowardly Apaches this grevious wrong, and be was eager to get within reach of them. had-don- It e was an Instinctive action en bis on the point of shoot- - part, as he was his hand, he said, Extending Y and uiged him, to come and shake las palm. He accused him of being under the Influence of firewater, so that fie could not walk, and at sight of the furious but vain struggles of the helpless victim, the three broke into uproarious laughter. f as Purely they had not had much fuu since they were born. Now nothing would have been easier than for any one or all three of the buiks, twin tlnir coign of vantage, to shoot the ranchman, but that would have ended lus suffering and terminated their enjoj . It would be hard to picture the horrible peril in which Juan ltieardo was caught None knew better than he the nature f the treacherous soil beneath him. As soon as he was freed of the presence of the Apaches, Juan began straggling with the energy of desperation. He knew it was useless to shout, for his voice could not rnetrate half way to their dwelling, or to, where some of his friends might be looking after the cattle. He had neither gun nor pistol to attract attention by firing la the air. , The afternoon was wearing away. Not a living person was in sight, and Juan reflected that it was not likely his friends w ould discover his fate for several dajs, and then they would learu it only by seeing the carcass of his horse, showing where he had shot over his head and plunged into the quicksand. He was saddened at sight of his faithful beast, who had given up bis life in the performance of duty. Just as be himself was about to do. He looked athe saddle, the cinch, the box stirrup lying loosely against life side, tbe bridle and the horn of the saddle, around which he was accustomed to coil his lasso, and as his eyes fell upon it the ranchman was trilled from head to foot by a thought which came like an inspiration. The next moment be had coiled the rope and began swinging the end round hia head, in the fashion that no man could do as well as he. lie was at much disadvantage, for his body was held firmly, but bis arms were free, and be was as cool and as when about to throw a running bull or engage in one of the friendly contests with some of bis friends. With the matchless skill bebad so often displayed he shot the loop' forward, and tbe next second U settled around tbe horn or hook in the saddle, just As he knew it would do, and be drew it tant Communication was thus established with terra firms, but the danger was that In endeavoring to pull himself'out of the quicksand he would pull the body Of the horse Into it. without helping himself. He worked sr)th infinite eantion. He moved the heavy form of the pony several times, and more than once thought he was going te spoil everything; but as a small piece of wood will support a man in tbe water,. the resistance he was able to offer prevented bis sinking deeper, and by and by he was able gradually to approach the more solid ground, until at last he crawled out, aud knowing be was saved, sat down to rest himself. lUis fear was that the Apaches would return, and since night had fully come, he started for home, where he arrived an hour later,; none tbe worse for his York News. thrilling experience.--Ne- ilondj AtOKi PAN RICARDO bore the O l.ng.ng aside the useless gun, be readied dnw n for Ins revolver, when he rivalled it was in the holsttr of his saddle, lie was without any weapon at all, unless hia knife should be considered such. The buiks had certainly risked z great deal in their effort to entrap the cowman, but they had succeeded to perfection. He was caught inextricably in a quicksand and bad not a single firearm with which to defend himself. The Apaches comprehended his frightful piedicumeut and boiled over with delight.

When Bill Nje and V. ill Ylsschcr were touting together In the far West they acquired the habit of guying each other for the purpose of relieving the monotony of one night stands, as their slui.ts were the same, respectively, every night during the season. Yisscher at that time and foC many years had a monstrously big red nose, which he prided himself upon, more or less, as a distinguishing mark and as evidence that he was sufficiently wealthy to keep up the color. N'ye, on the occasions referred to, being always first to appear, would say, in his peculiar drawling manner; For this season I have interspersed and interrupted this entertainment with a large acd bright new feature. When my friend, Yisscher, comes out yon will see the feature to which I allude.' Then, after having done his turn, be would say; .You may now turn dow. tbe lights and m. assistant will come on." Once when the pain, were appearing In a regular theatre, Yisscher discovered in a dressing room some grease paint that had been left there by an actor. Tbe paint was of the proper flesh tint, and he made himself up with a nose that looked very human, and when he came on the audience could not see tbe point to Nyes joke, As Vlsseher always afterward carried the tube of light paint in hi pocket N'ye was afraid to attempt his crimson joke again.

One of the special features of the Health Exhibition of the Sanitary Institute, at Glasgow, will be a municipal exhibit, arranged by the different departments of the Glasgow Corporation. The cleahslng department proposes to arrange" for, among other things, exhibits of a model destructor and the Globe fertilizer; the gas and electrical departments, the latest improvements in illumination, and the sewage departments, whit they caa produce from what were formerly waste products, The other departments of the Corporation will also be well represented with their dif ferent interests, and we feel sure that tbe representatives of the municipal! ties who regularly attend the con' greases of the institute will welcome this opportunity of witnessing tbe progress that Is made in municipal enter' prises by tbe Glasgow Corporation.

Sherwood, o' Kemne, Neb, begun s glvlDg the submit uf ntiliiiiiig Ctasnit lahle thought. From his seat lh a railroad ear he looked out over !h great wastes of cornstalks and td'J to figure out the solution of putting thun to valuable use. I.ater he cotsiiti'd a Chicago chemist t) a lned William Hoskins, and the two set to work td devise a plan by which the shell f the cornstalk and the pith could' I pre,ured for paper making separt!y. To do this it would be necessagr to separate the pith from the skeB, and it would have to be done A soon or more of by madtlnerj such? Machines were experimented eurn-stalk- s with. Abfuta year ago a piece of mechanto wurk. with the result that nearly 100 tons of th fle t grades of paper have been mad ftoui stalks that grew in Ivan-kakCounty, ill. The quality of this papef H such ns to muke u cvailnble for neufiy all tbe purimses of a printer of bookmaker. The character of the fit! production is slightly different Dos that of the shell. One grade ism fa! computed and set been found desirable for grocers use In covering 1 rd or butter. A larg ptoportion of the paper that has btn made came from the 1D03 crop of Cornstalks. It wts first thought best to tnduce ths fanner to haul his corn fodder to ths plaat In Kaukakee, nave the corn busked and then hauling tbe leaves and the husks back to the farm for feeding purposes. Superintendent Miller of tbe factory, howeve", believed there was a much better, plan, one the that WM calculated to enlist of ths farmers.- - lie perfected a tachlne, the province of which Is to be bau.ed to the farm, set up near the barn and then haul tbe shocks of fodder to the machino, just as the thrashing people haul oat or other grain. j The fodder Is fed Into the ma chine, swifUy driven ly steam power. Tbe first act of the contrivance Is to snap off the ears of the cornstalk and to drop them into a doble conveyor, which carries tbe ears along endways, skinning off tbe husks as they pass along. Scarcely a abred la left on an ear, the great bulk of tbe yellow ears coming out with out a vestige of their former covering. What little shelling b done in the operation the machine saves the grains and deposits them 4a--a tox at tbe side. The ears are run by ninchiuery into a wagoa box, ln wblcli they are hauled away, After having clipped off tbe ears the machine runs the stalks to tbe rear, depositing them side by side on a table. Automatically tbe machine rolls them Into a bundle tbrt is pushed Into a binder operated on tbe same prim clple ae that of the binding maebin ery of a harvester, Tne bundle of stalks, as clean as fish poles, is tied with a hemp cord and dropped to the side of the machine. The leaves and husks of tbe fodder are dropped on an endless belt that carries them to the mouth of a blow pipe, the function of which is to blow this material Into the barn cf the farm, r, who finds ln It some of the finest feed stuff that his farm produces. For thus basking his corn sad blowing tbe ff rt fit for "attic feed Into the bars the farmer pay s the machine man $1 an acre and turns over tbe talks to the latter free of charge. The machine will clean up six acres or about 130 shocks o. corn a day. Tbe stalks, which have now become the property of the busker, are hauled or shipped to ths plant at Kankakee and are conveyed to an upper room, where they are fed Into a machine that separates the pith from tbe shell of the atalk. Two knives that ir e driven at great speed saw the pith from the etaik that has been rolled flat; so that every particle of the pith has been taxes out Tbe pith Is dropped in A one bin and the shell into another. They are baled separately and khlppedje the paper factory In Maine, wberoeach 1 treated according t a ia making paper. firticnlar process the busker and depithing machines .ere combined in one, the first idea being to bring all tbe fodder to the plant Then it was found to be more Ueslrab'e to do the husking on tbe fum and the depithing, in the plant ad they were separated, it is believed that one of Jie buskers may be perfected to str'jt and husk fifteen acres a day and will tarn out in a single antumn 600 tons of prepared Corn stalks, a paper mill with n dally eapadt: of 100 tons o: finishes piper will require 60,000 tons of cornatslks annually. It ia estimated that tha U-- held responsible for the orally ratal outcome Today there Is less fear of the knife, and statistics show that tbe mortality is far less This is attributed by the profession to the advanced lews now held and what may be termed the greater popularity of surgery. Of course a most potent to this condition of affairs is the more extensive krow ledge possessed by the modern surgeon and his greatt r skill. But there is another source from which help comes; that Is, that rases requiring the services of surgeons are uot delayed until the lat minute, when the patients are so exhausted or they canuot stand the shock they must necessarily sustain. Today it Is appreciated by all students of the ilia to which flesh Is heir to be used the that if the knife sooner it Is Tone the better: Just as everybody knows that If a disease Is to be ci.eeked, the sooner medicine Is administered the better. And to this view of the matter the doctor sud the surgeon have gradually educated the people. This accounts for the popularity of surgery and for the material diminishing of the death rate of persons passing under the knife.
