Not long ago a fire horse was brought in front the farm. a horse thirty-six years old. that had not had a barnes: ou his back for eleven years This horse used to pull the chiefs wagon He had the faculty of getting under the shafts quicker than ever any horse did that stood on four feet. He never made a mistake, never a false move. By the time the driver was in the wag on the horse was ready to go. and when he went be went on the high speed. So behold the old horse brought in from the country witnessing again the frills and frivols of the city. The horse was barefooted, his mane. tail and fetlocks grown out long and shaggy. The fire laddies went to work cleaning him up with loving caress. The old red wagon of the chief was brought out. The shafts were lifted in the air r 'th the harness hanging. The hrse was standing, loose. 200 fee! away. At a signal the gong was sounded and like a flash of light the old veteran leaped for the shafts. A fireman snap ped the harness Into place. The old fire chief watched the whole perform ance. intending to spring Into the wag on. provided the horse had not forgot ten his cue. Th horse knew how to do it; but alas, the venerable chief, now grown gray, merely stumbled and tumbled for ward, threw his arms around the old horse's neck, burst into tears and cried like a baby.-Blacksmith and Wheel wright Not So Far Wrong, After All. Maid Marion, approaching her fourth birthday, has an imaginary world of her own, in which the principal person age seems to be Mary, her oldest child For some weeks she talked also of a "Mr. Mary," but a few days ago she announced that "Mr. Mary" had "died on the consumptions." A few evenings later when she was telling her father of some of Mary's exploits he asked her what had become of "Mr. Mary." "Oh. he died," and her golden curia shook very sadly. "Why did he die?" "Well, you see. Mr. Mary was my husband, and one day I asked him fot some money, and he died." "I fancy her conception of matrimony is not so far wrong at that," remarked her mother, who was listening to the conversation.-Indianapolis News. Best Known Cough Remedy.

A singular "fashion which prevailed among the preachers of Cromwell's ime was that of coughing or hemming n the middle of a sentence in order o attract the attention of the con regation. The necessity of continually ttracting the attention of the listeners ould not have argued well for the rilliance of the sermons.

Americans submit to being compelled to ride in cars so crowded that they et their feet trod on, their clothes torn and get no seats, but pay just as f there was no crowding and abun ant comfort The Englishman is subjected to no such injustice. And why? Because when tramcars first came into vogue an Englishman found the passageway in a car filled with passengers. He id not submit. He went to court and ot damages, the court saying in ac ents which are echoing in England et: "The carrier is obliged by law to fur ish not only transportation, but com fortable transportation. This is no more performed by furnishing trans ortation without a seat than it would bby furnishing a seat without trans prtation. And this is not all-the pas enger is entitled to free ingress and gress."-Houston Chronicle. "Calling the Meat." Extolling the virtues of the African carrier,"' J. H. Harris in "Dawn In Darkest Africa" tells of a long caravan march through vast forests when food an short. One or the natives suggest d "calling the meat." Arriving at a uiet spot, a son of the forest fell on his knees, placed the tips of two fin ers in his nostrils, "emitted a series of cals which made that forest glen echo ith, as it were, the joyous cries of a troop of monkeys." When he had re eated these tactics in several places ear by for about half an hour there was an excited cry of "Here they cme:" And soon "a score of monkeys ould be seen skipping from tree to tree toward the inimitable monkey cries of our carrier." Four were shot for the evening meal, and some of the men were so famished that they ate the flesh raw." An Old Royal Romance. Uskub, the capital of the old Servian mpire, is asscciated with one of the few real love affairs of a Turkish sul tan. It was here, after the fatal field f Kossovo, that Bajazet arranged terms of peace with the Servian King Stephen. One of the most important stipulations was that Step'hen should band over his sister, the Lady Despina, s wife of the sultan. It was a lucky deal for the Servians, for we are told that "of all his wives the sultan held the Lady Despina dearest and for her sake restored her brother the city and castle of Semendria and Columbarium . ftRYSKIDNEYCURE R 'es Kidneys and Bladdose Right PRESCRIPTIOR For a Long Life.

A Frenchwoman. who is wealthy and noted as a generous entertainer of artistic folk. has herself some ambi tion to shine as an amateur sculptor. A Paris paper has told how this clever woman managed to have a piece of work accepted by an art jury. One day she invited a master sculptor to dinner. Ater the dessert she said carelessly: "Come and see my little figure. It does not come fulte up to my idea." They passed into the ateler. where the sculptor gave a few reparatory touches to the figure. Some days later she invited another sculptor to dinner. Again the ateler was visited.

"Two men were talking about this marriage cynically, but truthfully," he said. "The first man remarked: "'Of course the earl won't be able to support Miss Lottie Golde in the style she's been accustomed to.' "'Oh.' said the other. 'her father will make allowance for that.'" The congressman gave a grim laugh and resumed: "The first man looked thoughtful for a moment. Then he said: "'Despite the stories about the- earl's past. It does seem to me that he's Miss Golde's devoted slave.' "'Ob. yes.' was the other man's re ply: 'he's eager for the bonds, all right.' "-Washington Star. First Use of the Dollar Mark. The earliest known occurrence of. the $ in print is in an American arith metic, Chauncey Lee's "American Ae comptant," published in 1797 at Lan singburg. This fact was pointed out in 1809. A recent writer again calls attention to this arithmetic and then, with sweet simplicity of mind, con veys the idea that this publication constitutes the true origin of the dol lar mark. By this mental short cul he saved himself the drudgery of a research which, in our case, has ex tended over several years. After 1800 the symbol began to be used freely. both in print and in writing. On Sept 29. 1802., William A. Washington wrote a letter on the disposal of part of the bottom land above the Potomac, be longing to the estate of George Wash. ington. in this letter there is mention of "$20," "$30" and "$40" per acre.

Here is an istance which, for simon pure stupidity. has rarely been equal ed, writes Mary Shaw in the London ( Strand. A stage manager sent a list t of properties to a small place ahead, naming, among other things. "dogs for the fireplace." When the company ar- ; rived. late in the afternoon, they found six or eight curs lashed up in the the ater, barking and yelping and tugging at their chains. The stage manager, not knowing what these canines were there for, took no notice of them, but began going over his "props." With. the property n.an at his elbow he ran down the list, asking what he could get and what he could not get. Pres ently he came to the item and asked, "What about the dogs?" "Well," answered the man, pointing. to the yelpers, "these were all I could get." The stage manager for the first time realized what the curs were for. but he didn't want to give the local prop erty man away before the others. so he very seriously and critically in spected the dogs and then said. shak ing his head almost sadly: "I'm afraid they aren't just the right kind. You had better-send them back." East Indian Acrobats. The wandering acrobats of India, says a writer in the Wide World, are recruited from a low caste of people called "Donbaranos," who live by .this profession alone.

They travel from village to town and give their performances, which are really wonderful, in-the open air before crowds of onlookers. Their tricks are quaint and sometimes aston ishingly e-!ever.
