THE SWIFT.
TiiM Animal Thai Can Run Away Prom
a Bullet.
Having always felt an interest in
animal life, I made the best of a re
cent opportunity to learn what I
could about an animal which is, so
far as I have been able to ascertain,
unknown to the authors of zoologi
cal works, at least by the name un
der which the animal is known
where I found it. The quadruped of
which I write is found on certain
portions of the staked plnins of
western Texas and is known there'
as the swift, a name which but fee
bly expresses the running qualities
of the animal. The name swift is
also applied to certain birds and liz
ards, but it is also the only name
by which this fleet footed animal of
the plains is known.
Any description of the swift must
from the animal's nature be incom
plete, for a swift is always on the
move when a human being comes
within range of his vision, and it is
olaimed by the people who live on
the plains that a swift has never
been captured. This claim may be
untrue, but as a oircumstance going
to show the wild nature of the ani
mal I saw only two of them during
a four months' stay on the plains
in a locality where they were said
to be rather numerous.
When I was first told about the
swift, I was inclined.to consider it a
myth. I said to the old plainBman
who was telling me a seemingly
miraculous story about its power to
get over ground, "Does the swift
have a hole in the ground like the
other prairie animals, where* he
may hide from pursuers?"
"Holy smoke I" ejaculated the old
man. "A swift would not give his
four legs for the Mammoth cave
when it comes to getting away from
any fool who has little
enough sense
to.chase him."
"The swift must be a pretty good
runner," I remarked.
"Bunner!" snorted the old man.
"Why, young feller, the swift is the
only varmint on these plains that
con run off and leave a rifle ball."
I saw at once that the old fellow
had great faith in the swift's pow
ers of locomotion, but it was not un
til I saw one splitting the atmos
phere across the plains, rapidly put
ting distanoe between himself and
me, until he faded away on the ho
rizon of the level prairie, that I
**»yy -realized the force of the old
tuili's remarks. I had seen an ante
lope pursued by a pack of hungry
wolves, and I had witnessed some
pretty good horse races, but that
swift's burst of speed against time
was tbe greatest run I ever beheld.
When the cowboys afterward told
me that the fastest horse on foot
could not catch the swift, I readily
believed them.
This phenomenal flier of the
plains resembles the fox somewhat,
but is taller and longer than Rey
nard, having the same bushy tail.
The thing that first comes into one's
mind at sight of a swift is the fact
that the animal is constructed espe
cially for the purpose of running,
and.that nothing has been omitted
from its make up that would en
hance its ability to cover distance.
The seoond swift I saw, as well as
the first, was running when I first
saw him and engaged in the same
business when I last beheld him.
'Thousands of cowboys and ranoh
men on the plains will bear testimo
ny to the fact that the swift can
outrun the fleetest horse. I saw a
young Kentuckian who had chased
a swift on a thoroughbred from the
blue grass country. He said of the
ohase:
"When I started, I thought I was
chasing a young wolf, but before
the chase ended I concluded that I
was on the track^of a streak of light
ning that had taken on the form of
a wolf to test the speed of my
horse.-"
"Did you catch the swift?" I ask
ed.
"I did not stay within sight of it
for more than three minutes," was
the reply.—Frank Andrews in St
LoniB Globe-Democrat.
Recalling a Letter.
A woman who tried to recall a
letter the other day that had left
not only her hand and the corner
letter box, but also the neighboring
station, found it entirely possible to
do so. A telephone message to the
general postoffico stopped it, and it
was duly and promptly delivered to
her. Had it even started from the
general postoffico
it would have been
lossible for her to get it back unde

How to Stop Snoring*
To those who snore and are aware
of the infirmity and wish to get rid
of it we would commend the follow
ing: There are two channels in
which the air travels in going to the
lungs—namely, the nose and the
mouth. These two passages unite
in a common cavity, and from that
point there is but one tube leading
to the lungs. There is a bone, called
the hard palate, which forms the
rpof of the mouth and the floor of
the nose, separating these two air
channels from each other. At the
inner or posterior end of the bone
is a little body called the soft palate,
made of muscle and covered with a
delicate skin. This soft palate is
attached at one end to the hard pal
ate. The other end hangs loose and
moves or laps in the act of breath
ing, something like a window cur
tain when acted upon by a current
of air. This is its condition while
we are asleep or awake, though dur
ing sleep it is much more relaxed or
flabby than when we are awake.
Now, in order to snore one must
keep the mouth open as well as the
nose, and in this condition the two
currents of air passing in and out
together daring the act of breathing
catch this little current between
them and throw it into rapid vi
bratir This vibration, more or
less in se and sonorous, is what
we call snoring. It is only with the
mouth open that snoring can be ac
complished. Try to sleep with you*
mouth closed, and if you can suc
ceed in doing so you will cure your
self of a very disagreeable perform
ance—certainly disagreeable to oth
ers if not to yourself.—New York
Ledger.
Card Etiquette.
Card etiquette is more pronounced
on the continent than in America,
for society as a whole is more con
ventional and social customs are
muoh more matters of form. Emo
tions are expressed by cards, and, as
an example, Katherine de Forest
tells of a brido whose husband had
lived in Paris 10 or 15 years before
she married him. The proper thing
for her to do on her arrival was to
leave cards with all her husband's
friends—that is to say, at the places
where he was in the habit of visit
ing, or with women who had said
to him that they hoped his wife
would call on them. Nearly all these
cards were returned within a week
in person—that is to say, the right
hand corner of the card was turned
down. And when the woman leav
ing it had a reception day not en
graved, it was written in the lower
left hand corner. It so happened,
however, that two of the husband's
visiting acquaintances were not
pleased with his marriage and did
not care to know his wife. They
simply left cards with no corner
turned, and the wife did not call
again. A year later a little misun
derstanding that had crept up be
tween the two families was ex
plained away, the two ladies left
cards with corners turned down and
their day written upon them, and
the course of social intercourse ran
smoothly ever after.—San Francisco

Taking the Wrong Boats.
Dwight L. Moody, in addressing
his great Bible class in The Ladies'
Home Journal on regeneration, il
lustrates his teachings with this ex
cellent story: "A Methodist minis
ter, on his way to a camp meeting,
through some mistake took passage
on the wrong boat. He found that,
instead of being bound for a relig
ious gathering, he was on his way
to a horse race. His fellow passen
gers were betting and disoussing the
events, and the whole atmosphere
was foreign to his nature. He be
sought the captain that he would
stop his boat and let him off at the
first landing, as the surroundings
were so distasteful to him.
"The story also goes on to relate
how, on the same occasion, a sport
ing man, intending to go to the
races, by some mistake found him
self on the wrong boat, bound for
the camp meeting. The conversa
tion about him was no more intelli
gible to him than to the man in the
first instance, and he, too, besought
tho captain to stop and let him off
the boat. Now, what was true in
these two cases iB practically true
with every one. A true Christian i«
wretched where there is no fellow
ship, and an unregenerate man is
not at ease where there are only
Christians. A man's future will be
according to what he is "here pre
pared for. If he is not regenerate,
heaven will have no attractions for
him."
A Mismanaged Compliment.
"I guess," remarked Willie Wish
ington hopnlossly, "that I have said
the wrong thing again.
"To whom?"
"Miss Seeronbraun. I was com
plimenting her on her costume, and
on a venture I told her that she
looked the part completely—that it
was positively lifelike. I have just
found out the character she was as
suming."
"What was it?"
"A lady of the preceding cen
tury. "—Washington Star.

A Mother's Idea of felab.
But you.should have -heard my
mother on clubs. Often have I heard
her onthem. "Thirty pounds
Is what
he will have to pay the first year
and £10
a year after that." "But the
difficulty is in becoming a member.
They are very particular about
whom they elect, and I dare say I
shall not get in." "Well, I'm but a
poor crittur (not being a member of
a club), but I think I can tell you to
make your mind easy on that head.
You'll get in, I'ze uphaud, and your
£30 will get in too." Then the time
arrives when I was elected, and I
thought it wisdom to send my sister
up stairs with the news. My mother
was ironing and made no comment
unless with the iron, which I could
hear rattling more violently in its
box. Presently I heard her laugh
ing, at me undoubtedly, but she had
recovered control over her face be
fore she came down stairs to con
gratulate me sarcastically. "This
was grand news, "she said without a
twinkle," and I must write
and thank
the committee, the noble crttturs." I
saw behind her mask and maintain
ed a dignified silence, but she would
have another shot at me. "And tell
them,''' she said from the door, "you
were doubtful of being elected, but
your auld mother had aye a mighty
confidence they would snick you
in."—"Margaret Ogilvie," by J. M.
