THE WILD MUSTANG.
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HE WAS
ONCE A TERRIBLE PEST.
Settlers Were Compelled to Take Active
Measures For Self Protection Exciting
Drives and Desperate Battles How the
Corral Was Made.
The southern portion of the great San
Joaquin valley was overrun in the early
days by a species of wild horse known
as the mustang, cr Mexican wild horse.
They were to be seen in drovee, not in
frequently numbering several hundred
each. They were too small, "weedy"
and generally worthless for the most
part to be of any value to the settlers.
On the contrary, they existed in such
nnmbers as to constitute an annoyance
and injury to the settlers engaged in
agriculture. In a single night a band
of wild horses would sweep down upon
the cultivated fields and literally destroy
the crops which it had taken months of
bard labor to produce. The pioneers
had ample cause to wage war upon these
animals. They were undoubtedly a pest
and source of danger much' to be dread
. ed. Moreover, whenever a band of wild
horses came down into tho settlements,
they would lure away with them the
domestic horses, leaving the "settlers
helpless.
These depredations were so frequent
that, as a matter of self protection, the
pioneer fanners and stockmen of these
valleys were compelled to take active
measures. They would inaugurate large
hunting parties, or "drives," in -order
the better and more ellectually to exter
minate theso animals.
The early methods used in this conn
try in hunting the wild horse were pe
culiar. When a hunt had been deter
mined upon and a favorable locality se
lected, the hunters would erect two lines
of fence, starting them about four feet
apart and continuing parallel for some
distance, then diverging until the ter
minals were several hundred yards
apart. These fences were strong and
high enough at the apex of the triangle
to securely restrain tho wild horses from
breaking them down when crowded into
the inclosure. The fence completed, the
hunters, all well mounted, would start
out to locate a band of the troublesome
mustangs. When tho objects of their
search were sighted, the hunters grouped
together, and tho order of the "drive"
was decided upon. Ono of the party
started out on tho trail of the band of
wild horses, close enough to keep them
constantly moving. This did not re
quire as much exertion as might be sup
posed, as the wild animals wonld dash
off at full upeed. but would seldom con
tinue any great distance in a straight
line, usually turning and." Circling so
that the "driver" could, . by "cutting
the angles," keep the band moving
without having to travel half tho flis
tance coveied by the wild horses.
In two hours or so the first "driver"
would be relieved by a fresh man and
horse, the whole party thus taking turna
at keeping the wild horses on the move.
The main object vras to eo fatigue the
game as to wear out the animals, ren
dering their capture comparatively easy.
Thus hour after hour the wild horses'
would have a tireless pursuer hanging
on their trail. Turn which way they
would, be their pace swift or slow, the
solitary horseman ever followed them
as faithfully as their shadows. Night
brought them no rest, as the "drives"
were made during the full of the moon.
On the second day the drivers would be
kept on duty for short intervals, so that
they might press the now jaded wild
animals. All of the pursuers would
now assemble, and one after another
turn the flight of the wild animals until
they would have them running in a cir
cle, the pursuers taking stations at reg
ular distances. Then began tho final
"roundup." One man would dash aft
er the band and chase them to his near
est companion in that direction, when
that man would drivo them as rapidly
as possible to the next, and so on around'
the circle, each driver having a shorter
and still shorter distance to rid, until
the band had completed the entire cir
cle. Steadily the circles were lessened,
and the borses were worked toward the
open space between the outer lines of
the corral.
If there were any choice animals in
the band and any one desired to capture
them, this would be his opportunity. It
was the most interesting period of the
drive. The striking, kicking, rearing,
plunging, squealing and biting of the
wild horse when first lassoed are de
scribed by these who have witnessed
such scenes as most exciting. After one
la9so had been successfully cast a sec
ond is thrown about tho neck of theani-
mal, and tho lassos were then drawn in
opposite directions, holding the strug
gling captive securely between its two
captors. By this means it would be
finally forced into submission.
This work completed, the band would
be rapidly forced into the inclosure, the
drivers closing up the rear and urging
the wearied animals into the corral un
til they were crowded compactly to
gether, with no hope of escape except
through the narrow lane, where certain
death awaited them. Men armed with
strong spears stood on each side of this
narrow opening, and as the animals
were crowded through it received its
coup de grace.
The conditions of the country have
changed vastly. The antelope and the
elk have gone, the wild cattle have been
forced into tho mountains, and only a
few of them remain even there. This
is also trje of the wild horse. The wild
horse, however, is not as yet wholly ex
tinct in California. Those now found
in this state are, so far as I have been
. able to learn, confined to the regions of

"THEM WAS HIS SENTIMENTS."
And the Old Unreconstructed Confederate
Took Pains to Make Them Known.
Very many of the early settlers of,
Montana were natives of Missouri, Ken
tucky, Arkansas and the border states
of the war. They came by the Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
the flag of Democracy to the masthead.
The result of this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1873, when Gen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit . to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon., was juBt emerging from
the garb of a mining camp, but a few
enterprising citizens with ex-Governor
Hauser at the bead determined to give
a fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in a stagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon a
banquet was given in the First National
bank, located then in the present gam
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from civ
ilization. There was, however, plenty
of champagne, since that wine is usu
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way of food is left but
flour. The gathering was very demo
cratic. . Everybody in town was invited
to see "Little Phil," though there was
much grumbling among the unrecon
structed Confederates over the. display
made for a Union. general. 'There. were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex
road agents, many of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among .them
was-one old time Con federate -soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry of war to dealing "bank.'" jHe
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face
darkened and his eyes flamed with an
ger as various toasts were given to the
United States, the president of the
United States and the army of the
United States.
Finally be could stand it no longer.
He arose with a wineglass in one hand
and a six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted :
"Here's to all mankind, so that no
d d fool will be overlooked."
With that he dashed the wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into tho ceiling so that the room was
filled with smoke. The guests reached
for their revolvers, but the gambler,
with a look of contempt, returned' his
"gun" to his pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
it was one of the most dramatic and
suggestive scenes in all his experience.

Tlie Man Who Tired Carlyle.
There is a story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well in his broadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, "I would have you to
know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of tho
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de
claring his doctrine ntterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and fto
respected antagonists, but be could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly roused.
He felt in
that case that he had made no impres
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so much as that. Of course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way. London Spectator.
A Clever Girl's Trick.
Sonfe of the enormous bunches of vio

trick or two which preserve - appear

The artificial violets -are a wonderful
imitation pf the real onesv It takes
more than a passing glance to detect the
difference between them ; -but, as made
moiselle well knows, there is no counter
feiting the fresh delicate perfume of the
real flower. So the clever creature buys
every day a 10 cent bunch of nature's
production, which she judiciously in-
tersperses through a large cluster of the
handiwork of art. The little leaven of
fragrahce is sufficient, and by this sim
ple and ingenious means is secured a
maximum of effect at a minimum of ex
penditure. Her Point of View in New

An International Women's Congress.
The Hon. Ettore Socci, a member of
the Italian parliament, through the
pages of The Humanitarian asks if it
would not be possible to hold an interna
tional women's congress in Borne in
1895 in order to give prominence to the
women's movement, which is spreading
its ramifications throughout the world.
He is an ardent advocate of the move
ment. The emancipation and higher
education of women, he declares, would
not destroy in her the feeling of wife
and mother, and still less would it un-'
dermine family life.

Tyndall's Imagination.
This instructive imagination for we
are not concerned with mere reminis
cent imagination here resulting in the
creations of the poet and there in the dis
coveries of the man of science, is the
highest of human faculties. With this
faculty Professor Tyndall was largely
endowed. In common with successful
investigators iageoernl, be displayed it
in forming true conceptions of physical
processes previously misinterpreted or
uninterpreted, and again in conceiving
modes by which the actual relations of
, the phenomena could be demonstrated,
j and again in devising fit appliances to
! this end. But to a much greater extent
than usual he -displayed constructive
: imagination in other fields.
He was an excellent expositor, and
good exposition implies much construct
ive imagination. A prerequisite is the
forming of true ideas of the mental
states of those who are to be taught,
and a further prerequisite is the imagin
ing of methods by which, beginning
with conceptions they possess, there
may be built up in their minds the con
ceptions they do not possess. Of con
structive imagination as displayed in
this sphere men at large . appear to be
almost devoid, as witness the absurd
systems of teaching which in past times,
and in large measure at .present, have
stupefied and still stupefy- children by
presenting abstract ideas before they
have -any concrete ideas .from which

Next to tho man who invented or dis

I change the conditions of life in our
great cities. Without saying that this
1 result is already at hand, a great step to
ward it is mado by tho new invention in
fireplaces. By this system a fire can
undoubtedly bo produced without
smoke, and though at present a special
fireplace must be employed for .the pur
pose there is no reason why every one
who henceforth fits up a kitchen range
or a furnace should not have a smoke
leas one. I expect to see the time when
every householder as well as every man
ufacturer will be compelled. to consume
his own smoke. In" the meantime, how
ever, there i3 the strongest inducement,
short of compulsion, for doing so, for
tho system, like all which are based on

Wanted a Good Foot.
Models are an important part of a
sculptor's need. I doubt whether in this
particular we differ from our Greek
predecessors, for we read of choice pres
ents, such as peacocks, given by Phidias
to his models, showing how much he
valued them, presumably because it was
as difficult then as now to get good ones.
' To-be a model is a business of itself,
and when we remember the number of
art schools there are. even in London
alone, and the many artists who are en
tirely dependent upon them, it may be
realized what a large body they must be.
The men are mostly Italians, chiefly,
rl am told, from the neighborhood of
'Naples,
The women are, as a rule, Eng
lish and have often sat from babies". To
' find a well formed foot is almost, an im
possibility among the best of them, ow
ing to the long cramping in boots, but a
friend once told me that he had a cast
of the foot of an Indian woman that
-was as beautiful as the foot of a Greek
statue.
. Our .-English models lack often the
suppleness of .figyre that distinguishes
more southern races, such as the Italian,
which is partly accounted for by the
heavy, cumbersome clothes cur climate
necessitates. But such as they are we
have to make the best of them, and a
really good one is eagerly sought after.

The Canon Smokes Cigarettes. .

pointing out that Canon Wilberforce,

The Man In the Moon.
According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle of sticks whicfi were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
-the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carryings bundle of thorns,
the meanest offering'his lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo
pre claim that they can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
, the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which says that the
j marRs and spots on the moon's face are
the outlines of the traitor, Judas Iscar
iot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifixion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed tbe creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people hid own land with similar be
ings. .When he essayed to imitate God's
works, be made nothing but a slimy ser
pent, which since that day has contin
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view of tho descendants of the
