To koop tiie occupnnts of a wagon cool

patented by james Curley, of Macoupin,

in the accompanying cut. As wiil be seen,
a serir-s of plpes are arranged overhead in
the carriage, with perforations to direct
jets of air on the passengers A fan casing
is attached to tho under nortion of the
running gear. with a fan .shaft geared to
a toothed wheel secured to one of the
carriago wheels. the gears being in riro

Means I'or ControlHtiff Horses.
The control of vlcious and runaway
horses is a mattcx that has often been
tiie ftudy of the inventor, as numerous
devlces already on tho market attest;
t?jt there is always room for improve
ment, and the illustration shows one of
<he newest fomis. Tho inventor is Geza
Egyesy. Director General of Orszaggyu
lesl Konyonyonida, of Buda-Pesth, Aus
tria-Hungary, and it ls his iritentlon to
have the appllance used esnecially for
those animals which are in the hablt of
taking the blt between their tteth, which.

of two strajis, fmeaded through guidin,

merous devices have made their appear
ance to be utilized in destroying these
genns, and now John XV. Davis, of Xew
York citv, comes forward with an anti
septic pencll holder for school use, which
mav be the means of preventing the
snrc-ad of contagious diseases. It is a com?
mon practice for the school to furnish
pencils for all the pupils, and hitherto
these have been gathered up and placed
Indiscrlihinately in one box, thereby great
ly hicreaslng the danger of contagion. The
idevice here illustrated is designed to
ireplaee the Ibox, not only separating
the pencils from each other, but also
treating each one with a germ destroyer.
This is accomplished by saturating the
absorbent pad in the shallow drawer un
derneath with a solution of liquid having
antlseptic propertles, the pencils being
inserted ir. the perforations and pushed
into the pad at the bottom.

aul in retaining the heat a covering of

HOW THEY LOST A
HORSE AND BUGGY
There Was Much Delay Experienced
in Finding Them,
TROUBLES OF MR. SMITH.
Mr. Hicks Wanted His Animal and
Veliiole, But It Took Some Timo
to Locato Them ? Vic
tory tn Last.
Several humorous Incidents cropped out
during Carnival Week.
One of them was that concerning the
tc-mperury loss of a horse and buggy.
It appears that the committee in charge
of the headquarters booth, at Fourth. and
Broad Streets, deemed it necessary for
the proper transaction of their labors to
have a horse and buggy attached to the
booth by a leather strap, for bnmedlate
use at any moment.
The horse had been driven up and down
the street at break-neok speed a num?
ber of times on Monday morning. and
v/as resting at the bvoth, when several
of the Bostock show men entered the
booth in search of some one. The party
they were in searoh of was not about,
but it wa^ believed he was somewhero
up-town, so the men jumped in the buggy
and drove off.
No one at the booth gave the horsa
and buggy another thought until Wednes?
day afternoon, when a. -phone messase
was received from Mr. Hicks, the livery
nian, from whom the rig had been se?
cured.
"Where is that horse and buggy you
got from me on Monday?" he asked.
-We sent it back," replied Mr. Ho.ace
Smith.
"No, you didn't," was Mr. Hicks' re
joinder.
Then Mr. Smith looked around at Mr.
Meyer and Mr. Meyer looked at Mr. Leath
and a blank expression appeared upon the
faces of each of the gentlemen.
'?We did get a iiorse and buggy from
Hicks, didn.t we?" ventured one of them.
"We did," they replied.
"Well, where is it?"
'Bianied if I know," said Mr. Smith.
"I haven't seen it since Monday." said
Mr. Leath.
THEN THBY REMEMBER.
Then the fact of the Bostock men hav?
ing carried it off occurred to them, and,
as one man, they said:
"Oh, yes!"
In the meantimc, the 'phone bc-11 ran^
at a furlous rate, and Mr. Hick3 at tha
other end was raising the mischief.
"Tell me something." ?a.id Mr. Meyer.
"Your horse and buggy are all right;"
said Mr. Smith through the 'phone, "we'll
send it up after awhile."
"What'll we do about it?"
"Just go up and see the Bostock men
and get that rig," commanded King Rex,
who strolled in in time to catch what was
going on.
A committee, of which Mr. Smifh was
ehairman. then took to the middle of the
street, and went in search of three men
of 300 names of whom they knew. Victory
perehed upon their banner, however, and
they found the men.
"Where's that horse?" asked Mr. Smith.
"And the buggy?" asked Mr. Leath.
"We ain't got no horse and buggy."
"What did you do with it?"
"Took it to the stable."
"Came with us/' and the whole party
proceeded to the stable.
"Gimme my horse and buggy," said Mr.
Hicks, iwhen tha body of men appeared.
"They're in the stable; these men say
they put thern there." said Mr. Smith.
"1*11 be dinged if they are," was Mr.
Hicks' rejoinder.
"Well, let's see," demanrlcd Mr. Smith.
So the party went all through the stable.
Looked in the loft and out in the yard.
No horse or buggy was visible.
"See!" said Mr. Hicks, "I told you
60."
Then Mr. Sraith'3 'cotnmittee Jumoed
on the Bostock men.
?DIDN'T 'HAVE IT.
"Produce the rig," they said.
"We ain't got no rig," said the men.
"Well, let's see."
And then the crowd went back to the
Bostock Shows, and went all throusrh.
Thev iooked all around tho animal tent.
walkad through the S*-rs0t3 cf Cairo and
went to t'r.a Wild Y/rat show.
But neither horse nor buggy was ta be
eeen.
"What are you going to do about lt? ?
asked Mr. Srr.ith of Mr. Leath.
"Put lt ln the hands of the oollce."
"All right," said tha Bostock men; "_o
ahead!" ' ?
So ithey. ~re_t ahead; ?-j :.,)?*_ \ IA *:_
It had begun to grow very dark about _
this time. and tho party filed into tho
Second Police Station.
"Wo have mislaid a horse and boggy, '
s.aid Mr. Smith to Captain Angle.
"We have found a horse and boggy."
repiied the Captain. "descrfbe the loss."
"Well/" said Mr. Smith. "the buggy wa3
a?was?a?was a?well,?a regular buggy."
And the horse was a?just a regular horse
"Th.it's just the knd of horse and bi__
gy this is-,"' replied Captain Angle with
a. smile.
And. ?ura enough, they were.
"Thcm's mine," ?-id Mr. HiC-tS.
"Wo foirad them st;\n<ling in the middla
of Broad Street Monday night. and w?
have been feedlng them on leaves and
paper ever slnce."
Mr. Hieks was happy.
And so was Mr. Smith and the Bostock
men.
