He was quite rich, and, among other possessions, owned a valuable race horse which he could not be in duced to part with, and which he claimed to be the fastest quarter horse in the world. As a matter of fact, the animal was never beaten, though competition came from far and near, including the Eastern states. The horse was always lidden bare backed by a small Indian boy, who carried a j bunch of switches, and the mo ment the boy was mounted, the rather sleepy-looking animal seemed to be transfigured and was ready to be off like the flight of a biid. One time a noted turfman came from Chicago, with a fast horse to run against the Indian's for one thousand dollars. Jlowlish-Wampo was at. first averse to a trial, but allowed himself to be persuaded, and consented that his horjse should run. The animal usually stood in an open shed, and the Chicago jockoy saw a good chance to steal him out at night and time him with j his own horse. This he succedod in doing the night before the race, nououy .uemg on waicn, ana lounu .i.i? t. . I.. !-. nawnsown was mucu uie xaster, , and could easily beat the Inian's plug. Next morning the cunning Chicago man and his confederates eagerly offered to bet everything tlirv nnuld l-nko mill ;pr2nn un all their money, horses, saddles, bridles, everything they had, and after a while the Indians slouch-1 ,l i nn,. lnno n,1 tnnV tU V ..., ...- J , ... up. The Chicago man offered to make the stake two thousand dol lars, instead of one. Old Howlish wouldn't hear of it, but at last, with his usual weakness, consented and put up the mono. At the race-ground, when the boy with the bunch of rods had been mounted, everything set and the word given, old Ilowlish's horse shot off like an arrow and , ( , .

The crafty old savage, sus- pecting foul play, had privately sent the fast one away and put the slow one in his place in the shed, on purpose to be .stolen out and timed, and ordered his people to keep out of sight and give thoj Chicago man a chance to consum mate his mean rascality. When the olenerl-nnt Chmm man .vas ready to start for home, a wiser and much poorer man, old Howlish, who had never once re- iaxed the repose of his &x&rthySlluVcuuwmuu"Xlw countenance, generously presented him with a horse, outfit and a bun- dred dollars; but from that time on, the Chief could never obtain another race, and it is still an open question amonjr Northwestern turfmen whether a swifter quarter-horse could have been found anywhere in the county. An Easy Position. The attention of young men who desire an easy place is called to the business of a New York pilot, which is thus described in an illus- trated paper in The Century for December: The responsibility devolving on a pilot, and the extent of his quali fications, may be partly appreci ated -when one learns that, im- mediatply on boarding a vessel, ho takes command, and is answerable :at .,; i,n i.e , licit iiu.aiyav.uuuu ....m uw u. ... charged his duty of taking the 1 ... - .m... r .vsm.4- 14 .11. vessel in or out of port.

Is it not The New York pilot must, there- j plain that any new comers would fore, foi the good of all concerned, bo crushed by these monopolists pass through a long and rigorous, course of training, lie must serve, man and boy, before the mast till he masters every problem in the j management of every form of rig. To this he must add a thorough knowledge of navigation. Then he mubt contrive to obtain the no- sition of boat-keeper, or pHots male. In that caoacitv. he rmi.t c ,Uvo f.,11 vpr.r nn nnn nilot-! . ,.. , , boat before he can be admitted for his examination for a license. If through ill-fortune lie lose his position, he must begin de novo, and serve the full time on another boat. Sometimes, a boat-keeper serves nine or ten years on various boats before his apprenticeship is complete. After all this, he must nnce u mn.l. iMrrifl f.vnmiiintinTi fin j -- -'o J all woints of seamanshin aiu d navi-! .:.. i.,.r... .1.. tj.,1 r -p:ii.

There is no doubt if the tarilT ' is not reformed, and this gigantic ! power (the Protection ring) bro- ken, that future elections, as tho? past one, will be decided by it. j Look at that monster of close corporations, the iron and steel as ' sociatiou. Tho eleven steel rail j corporations are closely united by I j special agreements. They boast I of producing 1,000,000 tons of steel rails. Protection grants them a oonusoi 5 a ton; or, say, 28,- 000,000 per annum. What ia 500,000 or $1,000,000 to such a monstrous'united monopoly to up - hold this infernal tariff system? But it is the ou - lint ; nnr nnl l-nan: . v '"-f competion, but it also crushes the home competitor. What chance would a new steel enterprise have against eleven united steel rail while tke Government takes care- to keep out foreign coinepoiion?- 7. S.
