wealthy cattle-man of Colorado, whoa
fifruro has only recently assumed alder
martie pniporfimis; one a Confrrewman
from Georgia, and the third a aoion ot
the cotton aristocracy ot New Orleana.
A three days' siege was agreed to. A
room was onpifrfd and office hours ar
ranffed. They were to begin playing at
one o'clock in the afternoon and quit
promptly at ton. Lunch was served In
the room, and a new deck was to teased

of the trio to declare the limit oB at any pulcoonthe trip before the last, when a
time. The first days play resulted In -spar meHMlng thirty feet had fallen over

very first hand dealt on the second after smelling or it tloalea alongside, meas

in the draw Mr. K. did not improve "" sink an ordinary whale, as si-
things, but looked as jexpressivb as a I
last year's base ball. The Colorado nuts
made fours, and the Congressman got
the right color and shape. One hundred
went out as a feelet. Mr. Long Bom
made it an even 8500. The 'Georgian
thought an ace-flush good, and jaised
him SoOO more. Mr. N. laid his cards
down on the table.
"Is my paper good, gentlemen"
"Certainly," was the reply.
In a moment more a check tor 15,008

year, and four ten-spots were quietly
laid down. :iThe Congressman from

HORSE TALK.
Don't tail to drive the colt the -first
time with a fast walking horse. ,
Don't sit and talk and let the colts
take cold. If you can't keep them go
ing blanket them.
It never pays to offer a hone tor sale
in poor condition. It does not pay to
keep a horse in poor condition.
If a colt is broken to harness when
he is full of life and spirit, he will be
more reliable than if handled in the
same way when weak and half fed.
A little drive every day aids the de
velopment of young horses. A long
BpvU of idleness in the stall and then a
sijverc drive are ruinous to good, mut
ch's and must be avoided.
If the hoof U punctured with a nail
or anything of the kind remove it
and Ite sure tiiat no foreign particles
are left in the wound, then inject pure
curbolie acid, then apply iotteform.
W ash "clean every day and repeat the
treatment 'until the wormd-is-heared.

"Several well-spun sea yarns have been
told by old sheuoaoks warding what they
had asm at sea," said Chief Officer James
B rown, of the Pacinc Mall Company's steam
er Aespolso, to- a Ban Francisco Chronicle,
man, "but there Is one thins; certain, and
that as I have reason to believe that fish
not only have nuiuutt but also reasoning
power."
"How do yon mne to these conclusions I"
was asked.
"Well, let me tell you. Row, every sea
faring man who has frequented the port of
San Jose, at Guatemala, knows that old Ban
JoaeJoehss been In and about that port
for the last thirty years. Joe is without ex
ception one of the largest sharks ever seen
in the waters of the ocean. He Is over

most every officer whose vessel anchors in
those waters takes a whack at him whea
he runs his sides and belly upwards, but
the bullets don't seem to do him anv ham "
"Well, about sis reasoning capacity I"
. "Oh, yea. Some years ago an English
maraof-war, while lying at anchor, under
took to destroy the old brute by firing a
ebarge ox dynamite into him Joe was hit
on the side, and about fifty sounds of

away grub, that was proved on one occasion
when the vessel was taking aboard some
hogs. One at ten hogs, weighing nrohahlv
about-eighty pounds, fell overboard, and
Did Jos, who is ever on the watch, saw the

tended jaws, the porker disappeared as
though he tuui gone mto a hole. On another
occasion we had a lotot mules on board for
the government and one of the number died
and was thrown overboard. Joe made the
acquaintance at the defunct mule, and
after the lapse of six hours the mule was
safeiv stowed 'thwart ships in Joe's locker,

seafaring men. We have tried to kill the
monster by all possible means, but so far

EXPENSE OF TRAVEL.
The Keasoa We An Obliged to Par Hif h
, Railroad tiaras.
The first obvious reason for the differ
ence in passenger tares Is a difference
in the kind of service rendered, says the
forum. Continental Europe pays two
thirds as muc& as America or England
and gets an inferior- article, ludia pays
still lessand gets still lc&h.Tbe difference
is seen in both quality and in quantity
of "service. In India express trains
rarely rnn at a greater speed than twenty-five
miles an hour. In Oonnany and
France their speed ranges from twenty
five iies to.-thirty-flve miles an hour,
and- iiraly in exceptional instances is
more than forty miles an hour made.
In the United States and in England the
maximum' speed rises as high as fifty,
or, in exceptional instances, sixty miles
an hour. With regard to the comfort
of the cars in different countries, there
is more room for difference of opinion;
there can be no doubt that the average
traveler in the United States, or even in
the English third-class car, fares better
than he would in the corresponding
class on continental railroads, and in
finitely better than the bulk of travel
ers in British India. Mo rates, however J
would induce an American to oe content
with Austrian third-class accommoda
tion, -or to tolerate that which is fur
nished the average Hindoo traveler.
There is a second reason ot even
greater importance, though it is less ob
vious at first sight This is the differ
ence in the number of trains. Taking
into account density ot population and
amount ot travel, Europe has more
trains than India, America or England
more: than continental Europe. If there
are. five hundred travelers daily who
wish to use a certain line In India, the
authorities give them but one or two
trains a day. They are thus able to
seenre very large train loads; and as
the tram, rather than the passenger, is
the-jmit for many' items ot expense, the
.sacrifice ot public convenience in the
matter ot hours of travel is a source ot
economy for the railroad. For a given
number ot people who. can use rail--roads,'
Austria provides more trains
than India, Oermaty more than Aus
tria, England more than Germany, and
the United States more than Englani
