He LI Ted a Wild Life d Wasted Wild Death, and Ila 8taaie4 a Wild Aadleac to See film Do His - Flaal Wild Act. The longing for the center of the stage exists not only In the centers of clTlllzatlon, said a man who had gon? west, made bis pile In mining and come back to enjoy himself. "You'U hardest, toughest citizens that ever hacdled a pick or shot a bear. ;The melodramatic Instinct Is mighty strong In most men, and the glare of the cal cium Is eagerly sought after by many who won't admit It I knew an old man out In Arizona some yeara ago who was one of this kind. lie was about tbe most 'don't 'give a darn cuss I ever knew. He lived up In tbe moun tains, about ten miles, back of Tucson, all by himself. "How he managed to live I never knew, but he seemed contented. Ills evil deeds never seemed to worry him any, and the Lord knows his record Tvas black enough. IIo had been n great gun fighter in his time, and even In the days I speak of it wouldn t do to tread on his toes. lie loved to tell of his wild life, and the frankness witn which be related his somewhat ques tionable escapades made blm an excel lent entertainer If you didn't happen to feel squeamish. Squcamlshness Isn t a common fault out that way. and everybody knew and liked Old Cap that's what they called him except the few who had been In trouble with him at one time or another. , Now, no one ever thought that Old Cap was spectacular. lie was the Last man on earth who would be thought likely to want the center of the stage for any of his stunts. But he did, and the climax of his life was more pyro tcchnlcal than any man's I ever got mixed up with. He certainly did go out In a blaze of glory- It all happen ed about seven years ago. I was In Tucson. A lot of us boys were sitting around In front of a glnmlll one after noon. Just talking about things In gen craL Our horses were tied in the yard at the back. It was a mighty "flnojjay, Just warm enough for solid comfort out of doors, and with the sky as clear as absolute dryness could make It It was one of these days, you know, when you throw your chest out and congratulate yourself on being alive. "As I was saying, we all sat on easy wicker chairs, talking and whittling 1 reckon, when down the street came a 10-ycar-old boy riding a broncho. We recognized him as a youngster who lived a couple of miles this Bide of Old Cap's on the same trail. He rode ngnt nn to where we were sitting and rolled off his horse, with his eyes a-popplng and his breath a-pantlng. What's the matter, bub? asked a tall Texan, who was ha the party. Old Cap says t come right up t' his place right off an fetch all th men ver kin irlL Th Injuns is comm: The Indians were always liable to bust loose and do something nobody suspected, so we got our horses out In a Jiffy and started up the trail to save Old Cap. There were about a dozen of us. and we had our "Winchesters and six shooters with us. When we got near tn nir! fWs we slowed up a bit and beran to look pretty sharp for Indians but not a sign o a redskin could we see. We'll be in time, boys,' said the Texan, who was leading the band. 'Ef we get to Old Cap's cabin we kin stand off a nretty smart lot' "Old Cap's cabin was situated in a elcnrlnff off the trail around a bend with high rocks hiding It until you came out In the open. We reached the turn in safety and swept around It at full gallop. There we saw, first or am tho little cabin looking as snug as usuaL and then we noticed Old Cap sitting astride a keg about ten feet In front of his door. His big, gray som brero was cocked to one side, and the red scarf about his neck gave him the look of a stage hero of the plains. He had heard our horses' hoofs beating the rocky trail before we wheeled Into view, and he was ready for us. Wait ing until we had come within 75 yards of him, he lifted his hat and moved It above his bead with a hoarse, wild yclL As 1 think of It now It sounded like the cry of a madman. Then he reached Into his pocket and drew fortJi a match. This he threw carefully across a rock which was within reach of the keg upon which he sat, and saving It from the breeze until It was safely lighted he opened his legs and dropped ir between them. "There was a yellow puff of smoke .i n-ith n finch nf rod. and ttien a terrific roar. Old Cap's body flew sky ward, and when it came down It didn t look like a human being's. He had been sitting on a keg of powder and had deliberately blown himseir up vnnrvr thlnff for a man to do, wasn't itf Old Oad apparently got tired of life and decided to kill himself, ne wanted an audience. So he sent the irfd out to drum one up. He got what ha wanted, but It wasn't a very sympa- ,ti. nni Men don't go much on gush out there, and the Texan was a little cnr About the trick we'd had played on us. He helped to straighten out the corpse, and then he sat aowu on hmrMor And razed at It.

N. O., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBERS, 1899- AiNTS AS FIGHTERS. THE TINY WARRIORS ARE FEROaOUS IN DATTLJL So Vicious Are They That Erea the -Ia rarest Aalmnls Dare Not lleet Them la Combat A SXaa Whom Their Dites Made a Ravta- Maalae. "1 was one of six American miners who were routed from their camp by a Venezuelan ant army," said a mining expert who lately arrived from Vene zuela, c "We retreated before the in vaders without making a fight, and for two good reasons. In the first place we would have got the worst of the encounter, at:J. secondly, we knew that If we let them alone they would do us a good service. "Shortly after dawn one Sunday our native cook burst In upon us with the news that we were about to be attack ed by an army of ants. We had heard enough about ant armies to know what to do. We arose hastily, and ev ery ounce of provisions that was not sealed In cans or in Jars was hurriedly piled on a table, the four legs of which were Immersed hi as many, basins of water. Every maneuver that Is known to the armies of civilized humans you may safely expect from an ant army, but the little black warriors have never learned to swim. Our provisions thus protected, we left the camp to Itself and went out to reconnoiter ror tne m- vww nnd to watch their assault from a distance. The army was mak Inz fair time. An irregular patch of black 10 feet wide and double as long was swarnilng steadily toward our camp. As the army was in no way disturbed by our presence it was pos sible -to approach Its lines closely. There must have been millions upon millions of little soldiers marching hip to hip. At the head marched the lead er. On went the army, up the posts of the camp and then within. "Once within, the army spread itself in all directions, forming hundreds of little attacking parties. The camp was an old palm thatched affair and so in fested with scorpions, centlpeds ana spiders that we had been on the point of destroying it Now, however, the ants had come and would clean house for us, and therefore they were wei- come, xue ants swurmuu uy j"""- and the dry leafy walls, and wherever there was a spider or a bug tnere was a brief tussle and a dead foe. liut there was bigger game in store for the invaders. "The star battle was with an Im mense centlped, one of the bluish gray kind, about seven Inches long and as big around as your middle finger. He darted out of a hole like a blue streak, evidently trusting to his speed and superior strength to run through the enemy's ranks. But he didn't go three feet before he was stopped. Ants literally covered him. He turned on himself and swept theni from his back, but before he had gone another three feet he was burled beneath another swarm of his plucky assailants. And then began a fight to the death. Again and again he swept his tormentors from his back while from all sides hurried streams of ants to take the place of fallen comrades. The wrig gling of the big fellow became less vio lent as the fight progressed, and final ly, after an effort, which I well knew was a desperate last one, ue quiet wnue wnai mue me vru-o him was bitten out of him. Later, when the army had retreated and when we had swept up the centlpeda and scor pions and lizard and a tarantula which the ant army had vanquished we put the hero of the star battle un der a quartz magnifying glass. The bodies of dead ants still clung to their foe. From his back, from his legs, from wherever there was a chance for a hold, the bodies of ants dangled, hold- Ing on, I suppose, by their teeth. "Perhaps you wonder what wouia happen to a man who wouia unaer- take to fight an army of ants, assum- ing, er course, mat his natural means or aeiense ois hands and feet. I can best Illustrate that by the rare story of an unfortu nate who was brought to a hospital Caracas shortly before my reiuru home. The man was a coolie who had worked on a cocoa plantation in a creek not far -from Caracas. Following a habit of some of his countrymen, the coolie, owing to the heat, had left his mmn and stretched himself online rxnnnd to " sleep outdoors, ixacuy what followed no cne can say with cer tainty. Tresumably he was surrounded and covered by an army of ants be fore he awakened. At dawn the shrleKs and cries of a man in agony aroused tht inmates of the camp, who ran out to learn the causet "The man was gesticulating wildly and calling for help, whlled he squirm ed and writhed and slapped his face and neck and chest and legs in a maa effort to ship himself all ever at once. lie was standing in me -" ormv of ants and was too mstracxea ... m,fln Tio rfid Wltn pain iu ruu exactly what a panther or leopard does crhn he Is being overcome, i ne mau threw himself to the ground to roll his tormentor to death.

SHE WHO TAKES THE TICKETS AT THE PICTURE SHOWS. Her Taalc Walle Xrrre Rack I as, I- vltea a Study- of Some of .the Curi ous Phases of Ilnmaa Xatare That at Time Are on Dress Parade. As a rule the young woman who takes tlcketa at the picture exhibition Is an art student herself. The other girls trying to earn money envy her and think she has a "soft thing." It is apparently easy enough to be the ticket taker at a picture show. All there is to do, apparently, is to sit In a roomful of pictures, take people's tickets as they come in and sell cata logues. "You would be surprised to see how much work it is," said a girl who takes tickets at one of the big exhi bitions. "You have to keep your eyes open all the time, for there are a large number of people who try to run past without tickets. I have to go after people a dozen times i a day, calling Ticket, please,' and they turn on toe with an Indignant stare. Most of them then go and buy tickets. But one well dressed woman the other day took up her lorgnette, looked me over from head to foot, and said in an Icy tone: 'Ticket! I have po ticket!' and proceeded calmly on her way. I ran after her again. "Madame I said, T shall have to trouble you for a ticket. " 'I have already told you I had none,' she said. , "Tm afraid you will have to get one said I. I was beginning to Uf afraid I should Lave to get a 'bouncer' to put her out, for I was determined she should not go in without paying. That Is what I'm here for, and I am conscientious. Well, at last she flounc ed out to the ticket office, bought her ticket and put it down on my desk, saying: 'WTiat an imposition!' "That is one sort of the people I have to deal with. Then the other is the kind who wish to borrow a catalogue for a minute and keep it the whole aft ernoon. I have, to be very stern about catalogues. The best way is to polite ly look up whatever picture is asked for and to absolutely refuse to let any one take a 'cataibgue for a moment. One nice old lady took me at my word, and I really believe she asked me every single number in the room. I did more than 25 cents' worth of work fdr her, I can tell you. The worst is telling people the price of pictures. Af t ter about six weeks of it it grates on one's nerves. Tnis is wnat conuuuauj happens: A threadbare old gentleman comes to the desk: " 'Do you know the price or. pic tures?' he asks. . 'Yes; would you like to know tne price of any?' I reply. " 'There is one in the otner room, ue says. " 'What is the number r i asji. I can't tell you the number, but It's In the other room "Then I have to send him for tne number. "No. 221 " 'That is $500. " 'Why?' asks my old gentleman. "If It's early In the afternoon, i ex plain to him that I suppose the artist lt wortn that; that he is well tTinwt, nr what not: later l say.
