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. . , NATURAL COWARDICE.

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!
