IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Ten Minutes of Terror Under Stam
peded Cattle.
The Providential Escape of Four Men
from Jlelng Trampled to Death
by a Madly Rushing
Herd.
"Yes, we have an adventure now and
then out in our country," said Judge
Thompson, of Wyoming'. "If you'll
come out and see us I'll refer you to
five or six men whose hairbreadth es
capes would fill a book. As for me, I
haven't had but one close call worm
relating."
That's the very one I'm after, said
the Detroit Free Press interviewer.
'Well, it didn't amount to much as
an adventure, I'm afraid, though I m
free to say I was never more frightened
for ten minutes. Between what is
called the Granite ridges and Bad Wa
ter creek, in central Wyoming, is a fine
cattle range. I was out with a bmall
party last summer prospecting for cer
tain minerals, and had to cross this val
ley at about the center. There were
four of us on horseback, with our outfit
packed on the three lead mules, and at
about two o'clock in the afternoon we
siorhted something to make the hair
lift our hats right off our heads."
"Indians or grizzly bears?" queried
the scribe
"Pish! The Indians were all right
and grizzly bears don't wander down
into the valleys by daylight. What we
sighted was a herd of about four thou
sand cattle coming our way, and
they were coming as if every critter was
carrying one hundred pounds oi steam
Two or three herds got mixed, 'and in
trying to separate them the boys had
started a general stampede. ' In the
old days the buffaloes used to be some
on the mad rush, but let me tll you
that the wild cattle of the west oan run
a third faster, and when they once get
started they will charge a flaming
mountain. The front of the herd
wasn't over a mile away when we
sighted it, and it was no use to run be
fore it, turn back, or ride ahead. Our
horses were scrub stock and had no
speed."
"And there was no convenient grove
or rock to shelter you?"
"Not a tree nor a rock for five miles
around, but just where we pulled up
was a natural ditch about fifty feet long
cut out bv the rains. It wasn't over
wo feet wide by twenty inches deep
but it was our only hope. We slipped
off our horses, gave them a slap, and
piled into that ditch face down."
"And the herd passed over you?n
"Exactly. I hadn't drawn three
ong breaths when tho mint oi the
herd was at hand. Let me just tell
you that I was never so scared in all
my born duys. Every critter was
ii'llowing, horns flashing, hoofs dig-
Ting up the soil, and as cacn one
limped the ditch ho caved the dirt in
in mo. I icit titty diiri-rt-nt uoois
scuff my back, and every instant ex
pected to be stepped on. It took the
herd only about ten minutcH to puss,
'tit the time aeemo'l hnnra lonor to me.
When the last one liud come uud gone
I was regularly covered in and had to
Iks dug out Two of the party were
ktepped on and badly hurt."
"And your horsea and inuleb?
"Picked up on the horn of the cattle
and tohMed ali'iut a ml htt-ptH-d on till tlit-y
were reduced to pulp. Just cleaned us
out as hlirlt ns a whii.th'. If we'd Wen
in our KtidilleH iniUxly would have
recognized us us huving once lH-en hu

WATER COOLED WITHOUT ICE.
Pneblo Indians Secure tho Desired Result
by Means of Evaporation.
Of course, everyone likes ice water.
It is an American habit, and, patriotic
ally speaking, all American habits are
good. But if people only knew it, says
the Washington Post, there are better
ways of keeping water cool than put
ting ice in it. And the water that is
cool without being cold is twice as cool
ing to the drinker, to say nothing of
being several times as good for the
stomach into which it is put. One of
the simplest ways of cooling water is
by evaporation. The Pueblo Indian of
our southwest, with his untutored
mind, discovered this fact hundreds of
years ago, and has been using the dis
covery in his quiet, unobtrusive way
ever since, while we of the higher civ
ilization have been buying ice, deplet
ing our pockets and spoiling our diges
tion at the 6ame time. The Pueblo In
dians never discovered the art of glaz
ing pottery, and the result is that all
their earthenware is more or less
porous, and when filled with water ab
sorbs it sponge-like, keeping the out
side always moist. This moisture
evaporating cools the vessel and the
water it contains, just as one can feel
the coolness that comes from a breeze
on the body when wet with perspira
tion. In the dry air of the southwest,
where the Pueblo Indian finds his
home, this evaporation is very great,
and the result is that the pottery ollas
are used by whites, Indians and Mexi
cans alike to hold cool drinking water.
Anyone who has traveled through
the southwest cannot fail to recollect
the old brownish buff-colored olla with
its curious Indian decorations in con
ventionalized pictures of birds, beasts
and fish that were sure to be found in
the fork of a dry cottomvood branch
standing lust inside the door with a
yellow calabash, or if, in a very modern
house, a tin cup hanging from a nail
on the door jamb. And w:iter from it
after a long, dusty ride in the boiling
sun tasted many times better than the
coldest ice cream soda he ever paid ten
cents for in the states. It muy have
been what Col. Tom Ochiltree terms
the large, elegant thirst that added to
the supposed virtues of the olla as
water cooler, but the scientists of tho
National Museum will tell you that the
cooling qualities of the porous pottery
are quite as real as imaginary. In the
better class of Mexican houses the
chipped and battered olla in its pictur
esque rustic support will usually be re
placed by a more daintily ornamented
earthen one shaped like an army can
teen, suspended by a gray Mexican
scarf in the draught of a window, or a
highly ornate bowl of a couple of gal
lons capacity, swung in the same way
in a netting of twisted yucca fibers.
But the cooling principle is always the
same.

HUMORING THE GREAT
PETER
I
now
the Sovereign of Wurtemberg Car
ried Out Ills Little Joke.
It seems that the czar, who has de
termined on retaining his incognito in
traveling through Europe, absolutely
declined to take up his quarters at the
royal palace at Stuttgart, but insisted
on going to an inn. Having learned of
this prior to his arrival, says the New
York Home Journal, the "Wurtemberg
sovereign caused all the hotel and inn
keepers to remove their signs. Over
the principal doorway of his palace he
had a huge sign hung out stating that
within there was cheer for man and
beast at cheap prices, and that the
name of the hotel was the Konigsbau.
On the ezar's carriage and retinue en
tering the city the postilions, previous
ly instructed by the Wurtemburg offi
cials, drove straight to the palace, and
there, standing at the main entrance,
was the sovereign, fat, burly and
jovial, arrayed in the traditional cos
tume of a boniface, with a white apron
and cap, etc., while the various prin
cesses, princes, nobles and dignitaries
of his court were costumed as waiters
and witresses, ostlers and other serv
ants. Peter the Great, greatly amused
by this witty and kindly manner of
humoring his wishes, entered thorough
ly into the spirit of the joke, which
was kept up until the following day,
when he ,,proceeded on his journey.
Noticing that the postilion mounted on
the wheeler of his traveling carriage
was a man of singularly unkempt ap
pearance, his clothes ragged and cov
ered with mud, he made a remark to
one of his attendants that there was at
least no mistake as to the social condi
tion of that man, and that there could
be no danger of his being a nobleman
in disguise. And yet, when at the end
of the first stage, tho postilion came to
the carriage door to receive his gratuity
and raised tho enp from his head, the
czar to ins astonishment recoornized
in him the heir to the Wurtemberg

A DEVOTED MOTHER BEAR.
She Sacrificed Iter Life to Have Her Help
less Young Ones.
Duringanexploringexpedition in the
Arctic regions several yearn ago, said an
Ulcer of the navy recently, some of tho
men in our party used to Kpend consid-
rable time in hunting the polar bears.
I joined a party of hunters one day, but
the pathetic sight I witnessed deterred
me from ever seeking that kind of sport
gnm. We wi re in an open boat, and
had not gone far before we sighted a
big bear with two culm lying on the ice
not far distant. When we drew near
nough the bailors threw tliem great
liimpbof sea h.Tae flesh, and these the
old liear divided lietwecn her culm, re-
-crviiig only a amall portion for herself.
I lien, when all three were hniipilv
feeding, the auilrra fired, killinir the
uhxj almost instantly, and severely

found they would not eat she laid her
pawa flrht on one and then the oilier
and tried to raise them up, all the while
moaning piteously. rinding at lust
that they were lifeless, bhe raised her
heud toward the lionl and uttered a
growl of despair, which the men re
turned with another volley of bullet.
Then bhe fell between her Cuba and

' I SPY STRANGERS.'
A Cry That Will clear the Galleries In
the House of Commons.
Asiswellknown.it is only through,
courtesy, and in violation of strict
rules, that anyone is allowed to wit
ness the proceedings of the English
parliament. If an ill-natured member
choses to call out at any time, "I spy
strangers," the galleries must be im
mediately cleared. This custom, of
course, has become obsolete, and of
late the ladies, who can go anywhere
else in Westminister where visitors are
allowed, through their especial
champion, Mr. Byles, have endeavored
to secure the same privileges relative
to admission to the members' gallery as
those accorded to men.
In a recent declaration before the
house of parliament, says the New
York Advertiser, Mr. Herbert Glad
stone stated that the exclusion of
ladieB from this place was based on
the rule enforced by successive speak
ers that women cannot obtain admission
to the house. "In former times," he
said, "between 1079 and 1778, the occa
sional presence of women in the
gallery below the bar was permitted.
Notice having, on February 2, 1778,
been taken that strangers were pres
ent, the strangers, who were men,
withdrew in obedience to the sergcant-at-arms.
The ladies who filled the
gallery exhibited such persevering re
luctance to comply with the order that
they interrupted the business of the
house for two hours. Since that ladies
have never been allowed to Bit within
that part of the house." Mr. Herbert
Gladstone's statement has filled the
English newspapers with columns of
letters on the subject, the general
trend of which goes to show that the
British maid and matron propose to
assert that they have equal rights to
witness the doings of the lawmakers
with their husbands and sweethearts.
GHOSTS OF THE MAORIS.
They Scratch on Walla and Make Their
Presence Known by Whistling.
The Maoris, it appears, have a rooted
belief In ghosts, which they called
"Kchuaa," and in various manifesta
tions from the spirit world. They do
not profess to hear the rnps by which
European spiritualists suppose that the
presence of spooks is manifested, for
the reason that Maori Iiouscm, being of
reeds, rushes or grass, raps would not
be heard; but tho ghosts ingeniously
accommodate themselves to circum
stances by scratching instead of rap
ping, which is, of course, very thought
ful of them. Maoris believe thut
ghosts speak in shrill, whistling voices,
and a recent traveler htates that for
that reason the Mnoris hate to hear
anyone whistle. The Kehua, accord
ing to native tradition, is generally
found lying across a path, and to step
over him Is to die. If tho traveler
goes round by another path that lends
to the place for which he Is aiming ho
will find that the Kehua Is on the new
path I h-fore him. The one way to
avoid disaster, la to turn back and go
home, or, kt least, to the place lust left.
A chief, dcserilieil nt"verv intelligent,'
assured Mr. Tregenr, who, according
to the New York Advertiser, Im lately
lieen Investigating Maori iticrhtilloti,
that he saw the spirits of two of hia
uncles on each occasion Iwforn they
died. Ilia father, mother, brothers or
bisters did Hot bee, and it is not stated
why he aupioscd that his unrlea
bbclally desiri-d to visit lilin In this
fashion. The explanation of this and
the rest probably Is that the Maoris
re k remarkably auperbtitlous ami

century.
