T —[From the Persian. The Hero of the Stampede. UY THOMAS P. MONTt OKT. In Hie year 18— I was employed as » herder at Morrill’s ranch, out in Western Kansas. Ours was oue of <ho most extensivo ranches in the State, and th 0!0 was quite a little hi my of men and boys in connection ■with it. One of the duties with which •wc were charged was that of keeping the range, which was government land, free of settlers. I 10 * 1 you see a covered wagon,” ®aid our manager, “keep your eyes on it, and take care that it don’t stop on our grazing lands.” “Hut suppose,” questioned one, “the owner of a wagon should refuse to move on. Then what are wc to do?” ‘•I guess there’s enough of us here,” replied llio manager, “to seo that ho does move. If any man should bo foolhardy enough to squat here after being jioiitied not to do so, it will be our business to rout him out. We’ll kill his lioises, burn his wagon, and, if lio’s very obstreperous, we’ll hang him a little. Our instructions from Mr. Merrill are to keep this range clear of settlers, and we’ve got to do it or else loso our jobs.” I did not look with favor on this ar¬ rangement, and neither did tho ma- |orily of tlie herders. Our sympathies were with the poor home-seekers, and wc knew that both the law and justice gave them tho right to own the land of which our range was composed. However, wc said nothing at the time, hut continued aLout our duties. During tho next month several Wagons drove across our range, hut none of them halted within our limits Thou one day, late in the afternoon^ there camo nil old canvas-covered wagon, dilapidated to (lie last degree, drawn by a span of poor, bony horses that could scarcely more than creep. I saw the poor outfit crawling along the edge of the timber and I watched it until 1 Faw it halt at a point less than a fourth of a mile from the ranch. I saw a man come out of the wagon, and after looking about for a minute or so, proceed to unhitch his team and turn them out tc graze. I felt it my duty to warn him to move on, so 1 rode dowu to the wagon for that pur¬ pose. The man was a tall, thin > sickly-looking person whoso surround¬ ings proclaimed him a victim of ex¬ treme poverty. I was touched by his appearance, and as gently as I could, I informed him of tlie necessity of immediately vacating the spot. As I spoke his pale, sharp features lighted up with the fire of indignation, and in reply he said: “l’vo made my last move, unless I’m driven by force. I’ve been run about from place to place by the cat¬ tlemen till I’ve got nothing left, and I’m tired of it. This land is open for settlement and I have a right to a claim here, and I propose to have it.” “But you can’t hold it,” l reasoned. “They’ll burn your wngon and kill your horses.” “Just let them try it,” he replied, laying his hand on a pistol which hung at his side. “I’ve gst this left, and I’m desperate enough to use it. Some of them wouldn’t burn any more wagons.” I reasoned with the man as best I could, but lie refused to more on, and at last 1 turned away from him hoping his presence might not be noticed that evening by any of our people, ami that by the following morning he might see the wisdom of moving on. I had only gone a short distance when I met a little boy running across the prairie, and as ho stopped to ad¬ mire iny gaudy “cowboy” attire and trappings, I 6poke to hi in and uske.l his name. “I’m Johnnie Merrill,” he answered. “Me’n my pa just came dowui here to¬ day, an’ my pa lie’s gone to look at the cattle an’ I’m goin’ down there to that wagon. My pa he owns this ranch, you know, an’ lie let me come down here wiili him (his time.” “I had not gone far, after leaving the boy, when I met a man cantering along on horseback, and as lie was a stranger, and well d essed, I rightly ju ’gel tlntt he wai Mr- Merrill. Just *s we met he h&ppetied to notice the old wagon, and reining in his horse, he said: “What is that over (here by the timber?' “A home-seeker,” I replied. “Oh, a squatter, eh? Well, go rmd tell him to move on.” “I’ve already warned him,” I Answered. “Is he going away, then?” “I don’t know. He is very poor, and is very sick, but I think he’ll go tomorrow.” Mr. Merrill saw at once that I was attempting to screen the man, and with a flask of anger he said: “You go down and tell the boys that I said that squatter must not be there at sundown. Do you under¬ stand me?” “I do,” said I, as I turned away. I rode leisurely down in the direc¬ tion of the herd and I found the boys working the cattle back toward the ranch. “There’s goin’ to be a storm,” old Ike Sampson announced as I rode up. “These blamed cattle air the most restless an’ oneasy critters I ever seo, an* that’s a shore sign somethin’ is brewin’ in the air. For a cent the whole pack of ’em ’ud go on a stam¬ pede. ” 1 informed old Ike, who was the leader among the “boys,” of what Merrill lmd said, and the whole force gathered around to listen. I also told of my interview with tho squattor. Old Ike scratched his head for a mo¬ ment, then slowly said: “Wal, here’s a nico mess, shore. I’m agin runnin’ them settlers off in any sccli way, but I reckon we’ll baft to do it. Orders is orders, an’ we’ve got to obey or else hunt another job.” “That’s a fact,” replied Jabe Mor¬ gan. “The feller has got to go, or else we’ve got to go.” “Yep,” agreed Ike. “That’s tho size an’ shape of it. But, by gum, it mayn’t he no easy matter to trot that chap off. He ’pears sorter game, an’ like enough lie’ll pump some of us full of lead A’ The “boys” w T ere etill discussing the matter, when before we were hardly aware of it the whole herd broke into a stampede and went crash¬ ing away, bugging close to the timber and making the very earth tremble be¬ neath their feet. Directly toward the squatter’s wagon they went, and it was a sight to sicken ono when he looked upon that vast sea of cattle and realized how irresistible was the mad rush, and how defenseless was anyone who stood in the way. I knew that the old wagon and its contents would be literally blotted’ out of existence, and I knew no means of escape for the poor squatter. Merrill saw the 6tampede and came riding down towards us, but all at once lie stopped as if rooted to tho ground. He was near me, and I saw a deathly whiteness eotne to his face while lie stared fixedly in the direction of the wagon. I looked, too, and at a glance I comprehended it all. Mer¬ rill’s little boy bad evidently started away from the wagon, and having gone a dozen yards or so, had stopped directly in the track of the cattie. He stood gazing at the advancing herd, making no effort to escape, and it seemed inevitable that lie must be trampled to death in another minute. To attempt tho child’s rescue was useless, for we were near a half mile away from him while the cattle were but a few yards, and long before we could have reached him the mad herd would have swept by. “My God, men,” Merrill cried, “can’t something be done to save my child? It’s awful, awful!” On and on swept the herd. Less than twenty steps lay between the child and destruction. Wc held our breath and waited in terrible suspense. Merrill covered bis eyes and groaned in the deepest anguish. A moment passed. Then a murmur of applause ran throughout our circle—a murmur scarcely more than a whisper. Another moment of suspense, then a shout^ long, loud, and hearty. The child was safe. The squatter had come around the wagon, and at the risk of his own life had saved the child. He had rushed forward and snatched the boy from under the feet of the cattle, and run¬ ning back a few steps had taken shel¬ ter behind a tree, pushing the boy up among the boughs bevoml dagger. Another minute and the herd had passed, and we were on the spot. The child was unhurt, but the squatter was less fortunate. He was bruised and torn by tlie horns and lipofs of the cattle that passed near him. The tree was small ami afforded him but partial protection, and once or twice ho was knocked down. Ilis injuries, however, were not serious, as we were all glad to know, and none of us more glad than Merrill, TOCCOA, GEORGIA, JUNll 20, i.Slii When the squatter’s eyes wander#4 to the spot where his wagon had beeo, and he saw the complete wreck of all his possessions, ho groaned and a dim¬ ness came to his eyes. “It’s all right, my friend,” said Merrill, laying his hand gently on the man’s shoulder; “you shall lose hotta ing. You shall have a claim here and I will make up to you ten times over all you have lost. You shall mak the ranch vour home.” Merrill kept his promises, and after the squatter had selected a claim he helped him to build a house and fur¬ nish it, and besides loaned him money to send back east to pay passage for his wife and children. The employes of the ranch made up a purse to present the squatter, and when the donations were all in it was found that we had the neat little sum of $130. “Enough,” as ike said, “"to sorter bridge over in case o’ sickness or somethin’.” Old Ike put the money in a purse, and labeled it with a curd on which he had scrawled with a pen¬ cil these words: “A present from the cowpunchers of Merrill’s ranch to the man who, though a squatter, is a better man than any of us.” The purse was duly presented to Iht squatter, with a little presentation speech from Ike which w r as as unique as appropriate. Every man on the ranch received strict orders from Merrill not to molest or interfere in any way with any homesccker who happened to strike our part of the country, and we never did from that day.—[Detroit Frco Press. An Elephant That Could Count. Mr. Arthur Clay sends the follow¬ ing instance of the sagacity of the ele¬ phant. It was told me, lie says, by Mr. Quay, at the time a non-cominis- eioned officer in the first battalion of the sixtieth rifles, but now one of her majesty’s yeomen of the guard. In 1853 his regiment was marching from l’eshawur to Kopulvie and was accom¬ panied by a train of elephants. It was the duty of the mahout in charge of each elephant to prepare twenty cliur pat(ie8, or flat cakes made of coarse flour, for his charge. When the tweu. tjr chupatties were ready, they were placed before the elephant, wdio dur¬ ing the process of counting never at¬ tempted to touch one of them until the full number was completed. On the occasion related by Mr. Quay one of the elephants bad seized the opportunity of his mahout’s attention being distracted for a moment to steal and swallow one of the chupatties. When the mahout, having finished the preparation, began to count them out, ho of course discovered the theft, and presented his charge with nineteen in place of the usual number. The ele¬ phant instantly appreciated tlie fact of there being one les3 than he bad a right to expect, and refused to touch them, expressing his indignation by loud trumpetings. This' brought the conductor of the elephant line (with whom Mr. Quay had been in conversa¬ tion) on the scene. Having heard the exp anation of the mahout the con¬ ductor decided that the mahout was in fault for not keeping a better lookout, and ordered him to provide the twentieth cake at his own cost. When this was prepared and added to the pile the elephant at once accepted and ate them.—[Spectator. Makes Shoes Almost Indestructible. A German chemist claims to have discovered a preparation, which, ap¬ plied to the soles of boots and shoes, increases their wearing qualities from 500 to 1000 per cent, The soles are supposed to become more flexible by the process, and poorly tanned leather after being subjected to it is said to become as good as the best leather made. The sole treated with this prep¬ aration becomes waterproof. Another invention bailing from Germany is the cutting of shoe laces from scrap leath¬ er, by which even the smallest dealer is said to be enabled to apply his offal to this use. The machine is simple and inexpensive. Scraps of all shapes can be utilized, the operation consist¬ ing simply of putting the leather in position and (lien drawing it from the other side until the material is used up. The plate of the machine is provided with three holes 60 adapted as to se¬ cure perfect rounding of the laces which pass through them. The knife is adjustable and permits of cutting with equal ease from the finest to the thickest work.— [Chicago News. A Little Change.

The Montgomery, Ala., Daily Journal has the following editorial notice on the farmers’ movement: “The mistake that some of the Journal's esteemed contem- poraries make in their ciriticisms of the farmers’ movement and its leaders is that the causes that have brought it about are not merely local. They are wide spread, ever spreading and growing in import- nnee everywhere, Polk and Macune, Kolb and Adams, and hundreds of presi- dents of county and district alliances, have little to do with the threatened storm which may follow the terrible and ominous clouds now above the horizon. l“f each and every one of these central atid conspicuous figures were dead, the clouds would continue to gather, continue to grow more portentious, and the longer the storm broods before it breaks the more irresistible will be its forces. How long they will continue to grow’, how portentious they w ill become no one can forc-ee. But, as lion. J. Phelps truly says in the North American Review for May, under ‘there is no government or iustitu- tions our system that is not within the ultimate reach of the numerical ma- jority.’ When the fanners, so long the most, conservative element in American political and social life, become at once the most radical, it can not be said that it is without reason.” ** xhe sub-treasury and the TniitD party ' J 1 se Progressive .

The president says that the fullest discussion of all matters is invited and urged in Alliance councils, but the will of the majority i- the law of the order, and if any one feels that he cannot acquiesce in the decision scientiously of the majority, and feels that lie is con¬ public and impelled to go before he the divest assail himself owr principles, Alliance should first of all uni¬ form.
