THIS CAPITAL EVEJSTDSTGr JOTJBNAIi,
tf THE BITER BITTEN. v
A Fractloal Jolto Which Cams Near End
ing In a Tragedy.
A young physician went to seo his cousin,
an army offlcor, out upon tho great plains.
Tho officer was given to practical jokes, and
the young doctor, boing a genuine "tender,
foot," was a most promising subject. One
morning, says tho Youth's Companion, the
host gravoly proposed an elephant-hunt.
"What," said tho doctor, "do you havo ele
phants out hero!"
"Plenty of thorn," replied tho host. Prep
arations woro nt onco begun, and by niuo
o'clock a party of youngsters, ripo for the
fun, woro after elephants. When about five
or six miles from tho post tho doctor was
sent through a thicket of "wait-a-bit"
thorns, of which ho knew nothing. Antici
pating raro sport at his plight on his return
tho host sat on his horso waiting, when he
heard a shot and was startled by loud cries
for help.
Uo galloped through tho Blades and ar
rived at a small prairie opening of an ncre
lor two in extent, nround which tho doctor
Iwas frantically urging his pony, while only
i low yards behind was a huge wild Texas
I bull In full charge.
All tho manliness of tho host was aroused
by this real and unexpected danger of his
mend, and, without a moment's hesitation.
ho dashed In and fired a pistol shot. In an
Instant tho bull turned upon him. His large
Amorlcan horso was unequal to tho emer
gency, and in turning was met full in the
side by tho horns of tho beast.
Both horso and rider wero lifted for one
instant into tho air, and then came down in
a heap together. Tho horso was dead with
out a struggle, ono horn being completely
i through his body, tho other caught in the
.bones of the chest. Ono leg of the rider
Svas between tho horns of tho bull, pinned
last Dotween ms nead and the body of tho
- horso.
Tho whole hunting party soon assembled.
They woro afraid to shoot tho bull, lest hi
struggles might further Injure tho man
pinned to him. At last his jugular vein was
l opened and he slowly bled to death. His
J horns woro then cut off, tho horse lifted
uau iuu uuw uuuny ueau man carnea ou a
litter back to the post.
Though no bones wero boken, ho paid the
full penalty of his joke, not only with the
loss of a flno horso, but 'with several weeks
of sevoro suffering. It was his last "ele
phant" hunt.
LADIES LOSING WATCHES.
An Investigating Reporter Tells Whore
They Should Wear Them.
Going into somo of tho largo stores up
town ono may notico that many of the
young women behind tho countors who are
so fortunato as to possess watches have the
rings at the stems of their time-pieces
dmwn through holes in their jerseys and
fastened down securely by a button, so that
a watch could not bo removed without quite
I an effort, and certainly not without its
I wearer knowing about It. This is a scheme
, of wearing a watch that has gone into fash
ion in tho stores, and it has a substantial
and sensible basis. Recently a great manv
watches havo been stolen or lost, and in the
lost and found columns of tho Herald n
larger number than usual havo been report
ed. From the small number reported as
found compared with tho largo number re
ported as lost, It is apparent that either the
honesty of the people who havo been finding
watches on tho curbstones lately is at a very
low standard, or olso tho watches were
really not lost In tho senso intended by the
advertisers, but stolen. It has been quite
fashionable for ladies, especially for those
engaged in the stores, to wear their watch
es in their bosoms, with fob chains hang
ing out of the button-holes of their jerseys
In most of tho cases wnoro watches have
been lost tho wearers had grown careless,
and to save time and to havo the time
pieces as available as men havo theirs,
they had just tucked theta in between thcii
corset covers and tho corsets, instead of
insido tho corsets as most ladies, it is be
lieved, do. Thus worn, they wero an Invi
tatiou to a pickpocket, and in tho crowds
on tho horso-cars and ferries just after
tho closing hours ol tho stores it was an
easy matter for an export thief to make a
"haul." A lady who lives at tho other end
of UeacOn street had tho misfortune to find
a watch on ono of tho streets down town
tho other day, and she advertised it i.n the
Herald. Tho applicants who called right
away after tho appearance of the advertise
ment wero so numerous that it was a per
son's work to attend tho door. Tho lady
was surprised that so many people could
have lost watches. Tho polico will say
that there are no thieves in the city they
always do but tho young ladles up town
know cotter. .

Colonel Dudley Tells the' Story of a Sol
dier Afflicted with It.
Talking about courage and cowardice at
tho olub tho other day, says the Washing
ton Post, Colonel Dudley romarked that he
always had as much sympathy with a cow
ardly man ns ho had admiration for a brave
one, for he thought nervo was a natural at
tribute to man. just liko a taste for art, the
gift of acquiring languages, or musloal tal
ent. One man may havo a gift for music,
while his next-door neighbor may not be
able to tell one note from another. Bo one
man may bo a natural coward, while his
brother or his cousin moy bo born without
the sense of fear.
"I had a case in my own regiment, -the
Nineteenth Indiana," continued Colonel
Dudley. "A young follow by the name,of
woods, who was bright, well educated
and camo from one of tho most respectable
families in Indiana. Ho was a good camp
soldier, but we wero never able to get him
Into abattle. The sound of explosives orthe
sight of blood would throw him Into hyster
ics of fear, and when he was placed In a po
sition of danger ho would become pneon.
trollable temporarily insane. Finally he
deserted, went over into tho rebel lines,
and then came back with a suit pf gray on,
expecting that he would be sent to some
Northern prison as a Confederate. But he
was identified, tried by courtrmartial, and
sentenced to bo shot as a deserter, He
was shot, and, strangely enough, on the
day of his execution, for tho first time in
his life, 410 behaved like n hero, J never
saw a maq exhibit the nervo ho did. He
refused tp havo his eyes bandaged, but
stood up besido his coffin and looked
straight Into tho barrels of the muskets
that woro pointed at his heart. He made
an ante-mortem statement, in which ho
claimed that his desertion was not due to
lack of loyalty, but to bodily fear. He
thought he could get out of the army that
way, and I believe his words woro true,"
A Question of Squoexlng.
A woman of enigmatical age, who poses
as a dress reformer, says that "if a young
man were to squeeze a woman as bard as
does her corset, she would havo him arrest
ed tor assault with intent to kill" What
lamentable ignorance 1 This "dress re
former" may have once upon a time felt the
close, fervent clasp of a corset, but she cer
tainly has had no experience with the arms
of But, to slightly change the subject,
doesn't she know that girls wear tight cor
sets to show young men how much squoex
lng they con ttand without yellinpj for th
police!
