Itemed to be badly wouuded m aomo recent

Davy Illako caught up a shoel, and would
hve soou ended the ilty's eareor, if Hank

all.
In all the three mouths we had picked and
shovelled aud locked and panned together m
the Sky High claim, no one had ever dis

Wo had come together, a party of live, from
ilifloreut part it tue woiid, aud formed a
pirtueishin to work out a rieh mountain claim

We had been strangers to each other when
wo consolidated our claims mto a pattnorship,

rough, lcmvuel and somewhat surly ; but he
was always uady to take upou hunsell thu

frame aud iron muscles seemed nude for hard
work aud oudurauco.
The laugh went rouud as lUuk went up to
the ugly brute, patted his head, aud ex

Tlieilog prv served the utmost liielilltuuwu

No one took the bet.
"Presently Andy Ance offered to sell Ha .k
a fine fox hound.
"I've no use for him," Hank replied. "I've
got the best dog in the Sierras, and miybe
jou'll find it out if you live long enough."
We did.
All day Sunday no pug-nosed dog appeared
and all day a running fire of jest and comment
was kept up about the vagrant. The neigh
boring miners, as they dropped in to smoke
and chat by our fire, nev r failed tt fay,
"Why, Hank, where is yourlo;;" until at
last Hank's temper, never of tho b'st, fairlv
gave out.
On Monday morning, when we went back
to work a the dam, there was the dog faith
fully watching Hank's coat.
Alt through tlioso bitter nights he had
watched by it, without food or shelter, not
even lying do..n upon it lor warmth. He via?
shaking as with an ague fit; but the look he
gave Hank Beam d to soy, "1 cannot do much
for you, but I have kept yrur coat sa'c, my
f iend."
"Didn't I tell jtu to?" said Hank, proudly.
Public sentiment instantly turned in the
dog's faeor as we githcred around him, and
showered upon him Mich terms as ' Good
dnc!" "Nice puti!" "Pcor fellow !"
' Why, he's u rouser of a dog, after all?"
said Uoc, pi v ing him the biscuit that lie had
brought for his own luncheon.
He was christened "Koutr" on the spot,
and from that tunc he was the prime favorite,
of tho camp Kvcn liutte's selfish heart
warmed toward him, a d many a merry
lussio iney nan -ogetucr.
That samo day it began to snow. It snowed
and it snowed. Wo gatheied up rockers,
shovels and pans. The snow covered the
bowldersj then it 1 uried the chaparral and
manzanita husliea: then all the miners' cabins:
and still it cimo down. It nearly filled the
valley full
Thero were eight or ten miners' cabins jn
tho vicinity, their locality being indicated by
ono or two hole? in tho snow, and marked by
stakes bearing in criptions like these:
"Twenty feets to Hilly lirooko's Cabin."
"Cabin of the Merry Miners, three vnrds bo-
low." "ucc 1 urLicr. Hank & Un.. twenty-
five feet" "Grand Hotel; Beans and Bacon
at all hour; two rods."
We kept the fire roaring, roid the old pa
pers over and over, went out aud shot game
now and then, had i.ames of rough nnd-tumble
and snowballing, told stcnes, and smoked our
pipes under the snow as cheerfully as the
greasy Kquin anx.
A hole in fie snow let in tho light to a hole
in our cabin, and at this window Hutte or
Kouscr invariably took his station at mett
time; it was not largo enough for both at
once. Our table was ui der this window, and
refuse bilB of bread and bacon wtro tossed to
tho lucky dog in the window. Hutte, bcin
ot a lazy turn, could wait more patiently, so
he usually took his station nt the window as
soon as tho savory fumes of frying bacon as
cended to the upper air. Kouser would come
to the hole and bark savagely, but could rot
ingnten isutte away. At last Knuser resorted
to artifice. One dinner time ho rushd into a
little clump of pines barking furiously, as if
he had found some choico gtmo. Hutte c mid
not withstand this, so ho camo out of the
window to join in the fun. and artful Housei
quietly slipped into his place. Day after elay

Hut this samo little window was a source of
sorrow to Camp Square Comfort, as wo callid
nur quart' rs. Ono day wo all went out hunt
ing, and forgot to Bhut tho window. When
we returned, we found that tho coyotes had
carried off all our bacon. This was a serious
loss. We could borrow a little, of course, but
it was nececrary for some one to go to the
nearest trading post for a fresh supply. Hank
Howley volunteered to perform the mission,
and as ho was the strongest of tho arty, and
more useei to traveling on snow shoes, he
seemed best fitted for the scrvic It was
about forty miles to tho trading post, but
Hank was suro ho could make tho triu in
three davs, or four at the farthest.
"You better tie up Rouser until I am well
on tho way," s-iid he. Then ho Btarted.
Kouser was greatly dejected. Ho whined
and lion led and cried all day, the tears run
ning down his faco and dropping on tho floor
At night wo uutird him, but his spirits did
not app. ar to improve. On tho third night

or what wns left of him, cimo bail- to camp
His condition wns oven worso than when hn
first camo to us. Ono leg seemed broken, and
several ugly wounds gave evidence of some
fierce encounter. To his neck was fastened a
scrap of paper, on which was traced witli
blood, in se-arcoly legible chai icters: "Hroke
my leg, Cal. lion, lie quick."
We lost no timo in going to tho roscuo. A
put) of twenty men, on long snow shoes and
with good rilles, Martert out. A light fall of
snow rendcre d it e-asy to follow poor K user's
track. An hour's run brought us tn thn nhinot
of our search. Hauk was liug under a thick
pine tree ou the snow. At fiist we thought i
iii were ioo iaie ins lorm was cold aud al
uiosi rigui. lino none 01 mo lett lee' was
iirukeii. lortunitclv brandy had not been
forgotten, an 1 Doo Furber, who was a real
ph)sicinu, suci'ccdid in u storing him, with
tho help of many lough but willing hands.
Wo did not worrj him with questions; he
could not talk. Hut all around die spot w ero
marks of a ferocious battle and tracks of a
Urge California lion. A broken snow shoe,
tho pieces bristling with hair, indicated tho
nature of the battle. There was n deep
wound on Hank's hand, and his eoat was
badlv torn Watt Morgan picked up his
uiooiiy pocket Mute in the suo I found his
revolver, with all tho chambers empty.
I'eillowmg tho ti ickof the ferociou- annntl,
his do id body was found about half a uulo
from thu spot. It was the largest specimen of
me- puiui in.ei ever i siw, nieasuiinc fullv
nine feet from tip to tip We secured til's
tkiu, and slow!) leturueil to ciuip.
It was two da)s before Hank eould briefly
recount his adventures. U appeared that he
had started out earlv iu the morning of the
eiiini eiuy io return, lie nau bought a hiin
drenl pounds of bacon, and uas hick) enough
to have it brought out liftiwu miles by a pack
train. Then ha packed t ou his back ten
miles fuither, until ho reacheel the snow,
where lie left his hand sleil. liu hi,) ...,...
on faster than he had expected until nearly
sunset, when he he aril the fimihar crv of a
California lion. Upon that he started forwani
as fat as he could go, and looking bsik for
uiei lion, ne inane a laise step; Jus suo shoes
hit a stump, and broke, throw ins him elown
with great violeico ami breaking his leg.
Fortuiutely, the night was warm, so ho had
no fear of freezing He had a few crackers in
his pocket, and, with the tc-on, he wis well
provided against hunger, and he did uot feel
entire ly hope less.
Then the crv of the California lion sounded
ueirer. No doubt ho scented ih l.e.-.-m
Hauk drew his revolver ami crawled to a larce
tree. He lUltlv SUCceenlid in hi.ro,,,, .ho
baeou in the snow. 'I ho fearful cr) sounded
still lieuer. The suu lad set. and it
wounded beast should attack him. He
shouted, waved his broken snow shoes, threw
snow-balls, but the creature still skirmish d
around him, evid ntly taking in the situation.
He drew nearer and nearer, crouching as if for
a spring. When he was within a couple of
rods Hank fired bis first shot, hoping to hit
him in the eyes, but the bullet seem d to
glance from tho skull. The maddened brute
was about to leap upon him when a champion
appeare '. Rouser suddenly sprang upon him
from behind.
Then began a feariul conflict. Rouser, who
was smnlland more active, could avod the
onset of his heavier foe for some time, until
he grew weary. Hank fired several shots,
but failed to hit a vital sp t. Once the battle
surgedso near him that he beat the lion off
with his broken snow-shre. and succeeded in
inflicting a sharp wound in his throat. This
was probably a mortal w. und, for the animal
retreated, closely pursued by Kouser, and
Hank could hear the conflict raging for sn
hour longer. Then Ri uer returned in a
pitiable plight but seemed to be joyful and
triumphant.
Hank thouzht the time c uld not have been
far from midnight; but he probably fainted , '

Walking Horses, Etc
It is all ?ry well to enc urage the rearing
of fast trotters, and evi n racers, by the offer
of liberal premiums at our fairs. We are no
advocato of the race course, except sj far as it
mbservos the purpose of testing the speed of
horces, and not then because of the intrinsic
value of the quality of speed, so much as that
of wind and endurance, on which speed essen
tially depends. It is very pleasant to have i
smooth, easy going and fast trotting buggy or
carriage horse, and it is sometimes important
to make good time. But do not horsemen
give loo much attention to the running and
trotting gaits to the net'leot of the sober,
practical, everyday wa k? A very large por
tion of the work of even a buggy or carriage
horse is necessarily done at a walking git
Especially is this true on the ordinary roads

dead with cold. He managed to stir a little,
and from the bleedine wound on his hand,
wnere tne nerc nrute had scratched him, he
obtained the bio' el to trace the warning he
had leceived. He had written it with a
match, and fastened it to Rouser's neck.
With the same match he had been able tn

with bark and cones from the pine tree.
He ate a cracker, and then probably fell
asleep.

this direction should be encouraged by our
stock associations and agricultural fairs.
Premiums should be offered for the best

the swiftest racers Indeed, it is much more

Hank's hardness and reserve seemed tj

it was a good thing for us that we had some

our heart".
As for Rouser, he got bravely over his in-
'unes, and I am sure there was not a man in
lound Valley who did not think him as
worthy of being carved in marble as any of
the world's great heroes.
That exquisite poem of the late Dr. Hol

tribute to dear old Rouser :
"For all good that I have found
Within myself or human kind
Hath royally informed and crowned
His gentle heart and mind.

Decency to Horsei
"A horsj cannot be screamed at and cursed
without becoming less valuable in every parti
cu'ar. To reach tho highest degree of value
the animal should be perfectly gentle and al
ways reliable; but it it expects every moment
it is in harness to be 'jawed' nt aad struck, it
will bo in a constant state of nervousness, and
in its excitement is liable, through fear, to do
somothing that is not expected, as to go along
doing wl at you started it to do. It is possi
ble to train a horse to be governed by a word
of mouth almost as easily as it is to train a
child, and in such training a horse reaches its
highest value. When a horse is soothed by
the words of its driver and we have seen
him calmed down from great excitement by

uu ueuvi iiieuua i. may oe lainy conciudeit
that he is a valuable horse for practical pur
poses, and it may be certainly concluded that
the man who has such power over him is a
hum ne man and a sensible one.
"All this simply means that the man must
secure tho confidence of the animal. Oolv m
ex;eptional instances is a horso stubborn and
vicijus. If ho understands his surroundings
and what is expected of him. he will inva nn
trouble. As almost every reader must know,
if the animal, when frightened, can be brought
to the ol'jcot he will become calm. The rea.
son is that he understands there is nothing to
tear, oo ne must uo taugnt to have confidence
iu the man who haudlea him, and theu this
powerful animal, -which usually a man could
not handle if it were disposed to be vicious,
will cause no trouble. Die verv best rule.
therefore, which we would lay down for the
management of a horso is gentleness aud good
sense on the part of thediiver. "Bad drivers
make lad horses."

The plows turned each a slice of twelve
inches.and to one was attached a pair of me
dium sized, brisk mules, while the other was
drawn by a pvir of largo and fast walking
hoises. The work was light, as the plows
were allowed to run no more than one aud a
half to two inches. The two-horse team easily
plowed thiee acres per day, of ten hours,
while the mule team was bard put to it to get
over two and a halt acres. An ordinary, av
erage mule team would not have plowed moro
than two acres, and there are thousands of
teams in Georgia that would not have made
more than ouc and a half. The horse team
traveled nearly twenty five miles in the dav.

stoppiges; the mule team made about twenty
one miles per day. An ordinary or average

should carefully test the working gait of an
animal, when contemplating its purchase. As
a rule, it is poor economy no economy at all
to buy low priced stock. The highest priced
animals iu a diove will generelly prove cheap

willing to pay high prices, th.t the best ani

inferior ones. Again: There are successul,

oov Stanford's Methods of Colt Training.
Ex-Gov Leland Stinford, whose method of
developing trotting colts is novel and effect
ive, has many common-sense principles in his
system of management. Among them is this:
He reguds the horse as an intelligent and
rejsoning animal, and therefore should bo
treat -d as such. In tho working of colts there
is such a thin? as too mucn oi u as u. ume.
AnrHmtr to the Governor s idea, the CJlt,
being a reasoning animal, gets discouraged if
it knows the trainer requires it to go a fatigu
ing distance. That is to say, if a mile, or even
three quarters, is a tax upon the strength, the
colt knows it. Then, with tha knowledge e f
having to gi throuuh with an arduous task
every day, the incentive is destrn)e 1. As an
example, we will tike the ca3e of a schoolboy.
Give him a moderate task, which he knows
will not tax his powers, but c ill into play an
agreeable exercise of the mind, and he will
,,tr nnnn it with pleasure. Give him a task
which he knows at the outset will tax his in
tellect to the utmost, and he is very apt to
"quit" at the start. Just so witn an intelli
gent colt. To obviate this, Gov. Stinfcrd in
structs his truner to limit the work to certali
distances. If a colt is to have half inilo jogs,
or to hi speeded that distance, adraagat- n
placed across the track t the half milo p st
Beyond this the co't cannot go, and ho l
..ware of the fact In this he is encouraged
instead of disheartened. As he crows ii
strength the elistance if. of coure, increased

SometnlnK about "Messenger" Blood.
A corrcsjiouelcnt wants to know: "What
stock ot hoises imp. Messenger sprung from!"
Also, "lias the vi ore) -Messenger any con ee
tion with thorou hbreil!" The writer, doubt
less, has been listeuiug to the "argurrcuts" of
tho theorists who contended that all trotting
capacity came from Messenger, aud that
eYiry drop of running bloovl m tbe trotter is a
positive injury to him. The man to whom
turf history is a scaled bouk would naturally
infer in listening to this talk that Messenger
was aide'ly removed from tho running family.
mo simple truth ol the nutter is that Mis.
senger was thoroughbred, was running-bred.
He was a gray, folded in Kngland in 1780,
where uo determined efforts hare been made
to cultivate a trotting gait. Ho was bred for
tne ruuuing turf, ana prior to his imporUMou
to the United States m 17!S he ran in two
race. His sire was Mambrino, and his dam,
after uine pure cruxes, auchoreel in Natural
Rtrb mare He was the sire ot race horses at
long aud short distances, aud Herbert, whu
saw him often aud who deSwiibea him in his
book, pivuouueed him 'the best horse ever
brought to America." He died in 1S0S, aged
JS jtars. His opportunities for getting road,
sters were great, aad consequently kia blood
is a pronuueut factor in the fast trotting
horse of to-day. No thorougobred will get
trottsrs in the first, secoud or third renov ea

'"The great secret in training horses," said
Prof. George Bartholomew to a newspaper
man, "is to make haste slowly, and at all J
times to use persuasion and firmness iu pre
ferenco to compulsion or force. Nothing cau
be more absurd than the ideas I find generally
pertaining in regard to this, that to make a
horse understand anything it must bo beaten
into him. The thing to do in training a horso
is to go about it naturally, to reason with him
always deliberately and kindly, and make
him understand that jou are his friend. I
never have fouud that coaxing and invariably
kind treatment spoilt a horse. On the other
hand, the same as with man, none of thi best
horses w ill yield to beating. In all or any oi
tne eiiiucuit pertormances of my own horses,
it is impossible for me to force the animals to
do anything by whipping, aud I never resort
to it. .My rule alvvav s is to combine kindness
with firmness, and to teach them slowly, and
doing this I experience but little trouble. 1
count the military drill, as performed here at
the Windsor Theatre, the best feature in my
exhibition. The scene in the last act of mv
exhibition, where the horses rush up and fire
oil tne cannons, holding the short lanyard
strap between thtir teeth, is another very dif.
ticuit operation, and requires a great amount
of care'ul teaching. I began at first by teach
inx them to become accustomed to haLilling
substances with their teeth, without allowing
them to destroy the articles. All my horses
will do this. Afterwards I taught them to fir
oil a small cap b) pulling at a strap placed
bctnten their tetth, aid later to lire a blank
cartridge, mini finally they became so accus
tomed to it tl at it was a simple step farther
to the present performance. When It i.
sidered that tho teeth are remarkbly seusilive
conductors of sound, aud the immediate vibra
tion wnicn occum to tne animals head on the
instant the shot is fired, and tefore it is possi.
ble to release the strap, tho extreme dithculty
attending its successful teaching can be bet
ter conceiveei, it a uorse ts v er) nervous aud
easily subject to alarm, the best method
alwas is to treat him gently and with the
greatest consideration. Find out the reasons
or objects which effect to frighten him, and
make him immediate!) familiar with them
Show hin. that uouo of tiem will hurt him
Among tbe first ltssous which a colt learns
from its d m is that of fear of certain obttits
aud the effect is alwajs lasting. In training
horses it is uecessarv as fir as possible to up
root this inhentid tear, aud to make it plain
to them that jou mteud always to befriend
them. As all the runaw aj s among horses are
caused through fur, so the majority might
"aaily bo preveuted if onl) the simplest natur
al precautious were taken. The fact i. noon!-
