My friend was bending down, fixing his climbing-spurs prior to ascending the tree. One moment the grass undulated, a wrig- gling snake-like movement stirred it, and before I could utter a sound of warning—so spellbound had I become--a naked native bounded up, his klewang aimed at my friend’s neck. The intense excitement of closely watching the event, which had oc- cupied fewer seconds than it takes lines to describe it, had strained every nerve in me to the highest pitch. With a bound I sprang to my companion’s rescue. The blow which was flashing dcwn upon his neck was luck- ily not as quick as my right hand; the point of the klewang (a knife about two feet in length) caught in my palm, making a wound of which I still carry the scar. My .quick instinctive movement changed the direction of the thrust and saved my friend's life. Quick as a flash I grasped my revolver with my left hand and paid our assassin in exchange for his steel with a pill of prezipitated lead. The ball went through his head. He vaulted forward as if for a last spring and fell dead on the very spot which he had intended for our slaughter—another “good” savage. Now the grass was again agitated. I could see the same undulating motion, but in a direc- tion away from us. I fired the remaining shots of my revolver after the fleeing com- panion of the now peaceful native gentle- man, but failed to hit. Our Dyak friend had smeared his naked body all over with oil, in order to glide more readily through the grass and with the view of an easier escape in case of a hand-to-hand conflict. Rubber Horseshoes. From the New York Tribune. If the latest phase of modern ingenuity proves a success, there will be no more heavy trampling, and the rhythmic click- ing of the hoofs of four-footed steeds. There has been invented a new horseshoe— a steel frame about whieh is built a cushion of vulcanized rubber. The advantage claimed for it is that as the rubber, in- stead of metal, strikes the ground, there is no concussion or jar, and the horse’s hoof, leg and shoulder are saved. Thirty-three per cent of the diseases of horses, it has been said, are maladies of the foot, and there is little question but that ¢ven the best shoeing, as it is done now by burning the hoof, is in a measure injurious. This new horseshoe is to be put on cold, and the hoof simply pared or cut to fit. It is nailed on in the ordinary way. An additional advantage of the rubber sole is that it will give the horse a firmer hold upon wet or treacherous pavements, and, by securing him a good purchase, enable him: to go up or. come down steeps hil with a heavy load far more easily than at present. a ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Senator Stewart Talks to the Bryan Glub. Mr. Harry Davis to Address Sound Money Democrats — Rev. Mr. Rice’s Call to Georgia. ‘The opera house was well filled with an enthusiastic audience last night, composed mostly of “free slivevites, ”" the occasion be- ing @ public meeting of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club.
