THE CONTRARY BOY. '
I am the queerest sort of boy the world has
ever seen—
In fact, Idon‘t sup‘bose before my like has
ever been;
Because, from early dawning to the setting
of the sim.
Ialways want to do the things'that really
can’t be done.
,For instance, when the summer comes, I sit
down by the gate
And almost tear my hair with rage because
I cannot skate.
And through the heated August nights I
often lie in bed
And moan and groan because I can’t go
coasting on my sled.
Then when the frigid winter‘s here, and
things begin to freeze,
I feel as though I‘d like to climb up in the
apple trees ‘
And pluck the blossoms from the twigs; but
. blossoms none are there
When winter winds are blowing, and the ap-
pleboughs are bare.
At breakfast time I sit me down, and often
deeply sigh
Because there’s toast and buckwheat cakes
instead of pumpkin pie; '
Yet, when at dinner time we‘ve pie, my tears
come down like lakes
Because by that time I’ve a taste for toast
and buckwheat cakes.
And I should say to other boys who think it‘s
fun to be
Contrariwise, that they would best take
warning now from me,
Because I find the habit leaves me always
dull and sad,
And makes of me a very drear, ill-natured
sort of lad.

THE CID’S HORSE.
Babieca, One of the Famous Animals of
History. .
What Bucephalus was to Alexander
Babieca was to the Cid—«a faithful, ser-
vant, a devoted friend and a Sharer of all
his dangers on many a battlefield. Babi-
eca is said to have been more like a rational
being than like an animal. _
The name Babieca means booby, a
funny name for so intelligent a horse.
He got it in this way:
The Cid when a youth asked his god-
father, Don Peyre Pringos, to give him
a colt, and they went into the paddock to
choose one. Rodrigo (that was the Cid’s
name) let all the horses and colts pass by
and took none of them until the last of
all, a very ugly colt, and he chose that
one. His go'dfather was angry and said,
“Booby!” (“Babieca”) “you have made a
bad choice.”
The horse kept the name, but did not
deserve it. for it served his master faith-
fully for 42 years.
His first battle was with the Moors,
when his master was only 20 years old;
and after that his adventures were many
and varied. Once the Queen led him up
for the Cid to mount, because she wanted
to do him honor. Babieca no doubt en-
joyed himseli. In all the wars with the
Moors and in all the Cfd’s private adven-
tures, which were numberless, this won-
derful horse went with his master, and
though he must‘ have been wounded in
battle more than once, he always recov-
ered and seemed not to lose his strength
or show any signs of age. He understood
his master’s lightest touch on the rein
and was as obedient as he was brave.
After a while the Cid became very ill
and knew that he was going to die. He
left directions which were to be followed
after his death. He told them to saddle
Babieca and tie his dead body on the
hdrse’s back, that they might go out once
more to battle. He said also that Babieca
when he died was to be carefully buried,
. “that no dogs should eat the flesh of
him who had trodden down so much
dogs’ flesh of Moors.”
On the twelfth day after the Cid’s
death they led forth Babieca. They set
the Cid’s body on his back, strapping it
firmly to the saddle and tying his feet to
the stirrups. The Bishop of Valencia led
Babieca by one rein and Gil Diaz, his
master’s servant, by the other. So Babieca
carried his master into battle for the last
time. The Moors were beaten and the
trio went on their way to 'Castile. Wher-
ver they halted on the road they took
.ie Cid’s body from Babieca’s back and
at it on a wooden horse that was made
-or the purpose.
Babieca lived two years after this,
carefully attended by Gil Diaz, who never
allowed any one to mount the horse that
had carried his master so faithfully.
When the animal died at last he was
buried before the gate or. the monastery,
inside of which his master‘s body lay.
MISS WHITLOCK’S WHEEL EXPLOITS.
A Fifteen-year-old Girl Who Can Ride
100 Miles With Ease.
It has been only a short time since
wheelmen regarded a century run as a
very difficult ride. Now, however, there
are wheelwomen in various sections of
the country who can accomplish long-
distance runs with as much ease as men.
Miss Efiie ”Whitlock of Brooklyn has won
distinction as one of the youngest long
distance riders hereabouts, and while only
fifteen years old can ride 100 miles a day
very handily. Miss Whitlock was one of
the fifteen women who started in the
century run from Sag Harbor to Brook-
lyn last summer, and she was one of the
first survivors of the run. Miss Whitlock
has been riding a wheel for several years
and speaks in the highest terms of this
mode of exercise. She appears in a
bloomer costume when riding, and as
serts that she never feels fatigue—N. Y.

WHAT DOLLAR BILLS WEIGH.
A Guessing Contest in Which Several
Gained Knowledge.
Several customers were chatting in a
Lafayette avenue grocery store one even-
ing recently when thegrocer pointed to
ahalf barrel of small beans and asked
how many of them it would require to
make a bushel.
Various estimates were Offered. One
man recklessly put the number down at
50,000, which occasioned a laugh from
all the others who had guessed a much
lesser quantity, ranging all the way from
5,000 to 20,000.
“Well, gentlemen.” remarked the gro-
cer, “you are all wrong. There are ap-
proximately 119,000 beans in a bushel.”
No one was inclined to believe him un?
til he shOWed them that it took sixty
beans, selected at random, to weigh half
an ounce. The rest of the calculation
was simple.
“Now, then,” said one of the party,
“since we are engaged in guessing con-
tests, how many dollar bills would it take
to Weigh as much as a Silver dollar?”
One said one hundred, another said
seventy-five, while the grocer, who knew
all about beans, put the figures at three
hundred.
“Allwroug,” remarked the man. “It
takes just twenty-two.” This was proven
to be the case by experiment.---N. Y.

THE BOULDER WAS ALIVE.

An Apache Stratagem That Nearly Cost
a Courier His Life.
“Talking of Indians and their strata-
gems,” said D. A. Marston, lately of the
United States cavalry, “they are past
masters in the arts of skulking and de
ceiving. An Apache will lie behind a
soapweed on the open prairie, and you
may ride past two or three hundred yards
away and never have an idea that there is
a redskin within fifty miles of you, unless
he decides to risk a shot at you. As you
pass the soapweed he works his body
around so as to keep it always in line with
the plant and you. Even on the open
prairie, with no more shelter than that
afforded by some little inequality of sur-
face, he will sift dust over his body, flat-
ten himself out, face downward, against
the ground, and, lying as motionless as a
stone, will escape the observation of any
except sharp and practised eyes.
“A queer experience of this kind oc-
curred to me in my service in Arizona
during Gen.Crook’s last campaign against
the Apaches. Tom Merriam of my troop
and myself were detailed to carry des-
patches from Camp Bowie to Camp Grant,
up on the Rio Benito. It was a dangerous
service at that time, and we had to keep
a sharp lookout and be ready to fight- 01
run at a moment’s notice, for there was
no knowing at what point on the route
the Apaches might not be lying in wait to
jump us as. we came along.
“IVe were on our return to Camp Bowie
and had just crossed the wooded canyon
where the cold spring is, and were coming
out upon the open prairie that stretches
down to the San Pedro River, when
through the branches of a low tree I saw
what I took to be an Indian on the plain,
about a half. mile ahead. But on spurring
my horse forward so as to get a better
look, nothing was to be seen except the
bare prairie, with no sign of man or beast
upon its expanse.
“As we rode along I spoke of the matter
to Tom, who laughed at what he called
my scare, which he said caused me to see
imaginary Indians. \Ve came opposite a
low, gray boulder upon the prairie two
hundred paces or so from the trail.
“ ‘I don’t remember ever to have seen
that rock before,’ said Tom, who'had been
over the route several times. ‘lIow in the
devil did it get there? I’ll ride over and
take a look at it!’ And he reined his horse
and rode toward the object. I followed
him, a few yards behind.
“His horse had scarcely taken a dozen
steps when the seeming gray rock moved
slightly upward and there came from its
lower edge a flash and a report with the
scream of a big calibre ball that fiapped
Tom’s coat with its wind and caused his
horse to plunge so suddenly that Tom,
one of the best riders in the troop, not
being on the lookout for such a happen-
ing, was thrown. At the same instant
an Apache leaped from beneath the gray
blanket that had served him to masquer-
ade as a boulder, and ran like a deer for
the canyon, leaping to left and right as
he went to avoid the shots that Tom and
I sent after him from our repeating car-
bines.
"We knocked up the dust about his
feet and made him do some tall dodging
to the Whistling of our bullets, but that
was all, for we didn’t hit him. To have
chased him would have been folly, first,
because we were bearing despatches in
haste and needed the last ounce of reserve
force in our horses, and, secondly, because
with the start he had we should not have
overhauled him in his run for the canyon,
into which we could not have followed
him. So we took the trail again and rode
our way with another wrinkle added to
our experience of Indian trickery and
cussedness.”——N. Y. Sun.
A BRAVE BOSSY.
The Cow Saved Her Calf by “'hipping a
Grizzly Bear.
“Usuallyacow does not stand much
chance when she engages in a hand-to-
hand conflict with a grizzly bear,” said
Michael Ayers, a Colorado stockman,
“but several years ago one of my cows
killed one of these animals and came out
of the struggle without a scratch. The
cow had recently given birth to a calf. It
being her first-born, the mother was ex-
ceedingly vicious, and it was unsafe for
a stranger to approach her, as her horns
were long and pointed. The cattle shed
had a thatched roof, and was scooped
out of the hillside a short distance from
the house.
“One night a bear, having smelt the
presence of a cow and calf, mounted the
roof of the shed and proceeded to force an
entrance by scratching through the
thatch. The cow at the same time de-
tected the presence of the bear, and held
herself in readiness to receive the intrud-
er. Tho noise of a terrible struggle
aroused me, and grabbing a lantern I
rushed from the house, and opening the
shed door found the cow in a frantic
state, butli ..- and tossing to and fro some
large objsw mil-vi evidently had lost all
power of . tunce. It turned out to be
a good-so. .1..zl_v, which had been run
through urcugh the body by the
courageous ulubner. The little calf was
nestled in a corner, sleeping peacefully,
and seemed unmindful of the maternal
struggle. I suppose that as soon as the
bear gained an entrance through the roof,
it was pinned to the ground by the
cow’s horns before it had time to do any
damage.”

A Record Made Between Manchester and
Victoria by Lightning.
An unusual feat in the rapid transmis-
sion of long-distance cablegrams has
lately been achieved by the Commercial
Cable Company. A message and the re-
ply to it were transmitted in ninety sec-
onds from Manchester, England, to Vic-
toria, British Columbia, the total distance
being 13,000 miles.
Wilson Hodkinson,‘ a Canadian produce
broker of H ydu’s Cross, \Vitby Grove,
Manchester, knew several weeks before
that it,would be absolutely necessary on
Sept. 24 to connnunicatc with his man-
ager at Victoria and that every second he
had to wait for the answer Would cost his
company many pounds.
He notified his agent and the cable
company of ‘. he facts-t, and on the eventful
day sent his message and received the an-
swer in a minute and a hail.
