STORY OF A HORSE.
Ilovr Star Nurcd nml Foil nn Invalid
Companion.
' In tho flro department of a certain
city out west was a flno liorso named
Star. Ho had boon on tho forco a long
time, and was very trusty and very In
telligent. Ilia name I am suro yon
have guessed it came from a white
star on tho forehead.
Star know his duties very well, and
whenever tho electric boll rang,
whether it was the signal of a fire or
only for tho daily drill of tho engine
house horses, ho would rush out of tho
doc- of his stall and take his appointed
place.
Each stall had its own door, so that
tho horses, in case of Are, could get to
COAXIXd HIM TO KAT.
their pla'ccs in tho least possible time;
but when they went back it was moro
convenient to havo them enter by one
door, so they were numbered, and
each know his own number.
When the horses returned from a
fire, or from exorcise, numbers were
called in order, and tho first horse, or
number one. passed into the farthest
stall from the general door whilo the
one with tho highest number had tho
one nearest the door. All tho horses,
you will thus sec, wore bright, but
Star was considered tho brightest.
One time tho horse in the stall next
to Star's grew ill and would not cat.
Star, who wa3 always observant,
know something was wrong, and would
put his head over tho partition and
givo his friend a gentle poke with
his nose, talking to him, perhaps, in a
quiet horse wny, and showing all tho
sympathy in his power.
Tho men in the engine-house tried to
induce tho sick horse to cat, but noth
ing they offered him seemed to tempt
his appetite. They began to fear that
he would starve to death, and so he
might if Star hadn't helped them out
One day, after the horso had refused
all sorts of food, Star took a wisp of
hay from his own manger and thrust
it over the partition, holding it up to
his friend's nose, as if cooking him to
eat.
At first the sick horse did not notice
it, but Star held it out patiently until
at last he took it and ate it.
Star then held him another wisp and
then another until the sick horso had
mado quite a good meal.
It seemed as if all tho Invalid had
wanted was a gentle liorso nurso to
feed him. And Star proved to be a
faithful nurse indeed, for ho fed his
friend regularly after that from his
own manger until ho was well again.-

SWINGS FOR DOLLY.
Any Bright Olrl Can rut One Together
with Eato.
Thcro is no doubt at all that dolls
would bo much moro lively and inter
esting if they had moro amusements
provided for them, and could play and
take moro oxerciso.
Little girls know how it is them
selves. When they aro obliged to stay
indoors for any reason, nnd havo only
a book and a rocking chair, and a lit-

tie walking about by which to amuse
themselves, thoy find life very stupid.
There is no reason why a doll should
not havo a chance to play and enjoy
herself. Any littlo girl can provide
her doll with a swing, for Instance.
Thcro is a way to make a very pretty
one; but ono still easier can bo ar
ranged in' about throe minutes by tho
clock after you get tho thlngayou neod
together.
First you select ono of tho doll's
chairs, a good, roomy one. If she has
plenty you can caw off tho legs of this
one and keep It as a permanent Bwing.
Next tlo two long, stout pieces of
twlno or tapo on It, by fastening ono
cud of each to tho back of tho chair
and its other end to tho end of tho arm
on tho same sido. Tho pieces of twino
must bo exactly tho samo length. . .
Tivo Bhort pieces of prcttty ribbon
must next bo tied whore tho back nnd
arms of tho chair moot. This com
pletes tho nwing. Nov,' sot dolly In
arid then tie her In sccuroly by bring
ing tho pieces of ribbon around In
front of her, fastonlng them In a bow
knot.
Now slip a cano or any other rod
through tho long loops of twine, and
hang up tho whole by resting tho rod
ncross two chair backs. Then you can
give her a most delightful swing, and
it will go far to roliovo tho dullness of
her life.
Hut a moro ologant swing can bo
mado with somo bpools and a littlo
wood, and two stout nnd pretty cords,
and somo gilt paint.
Take a thin picco of board, about
tho size of tho bottom of a doll's chair,
and boro four holes in it, ono in each
corner. This is tho swing sent.
You need four slats of wood two tho
length of tho seat, two the length of
tho cuds of tho scat, with holes bored
nt each end of the slats.
Run tho stout cords through the holo
on one side of tho scat, fastonlng tho
end by a big knot underneath. Then
pass each twlno through throo spools;
you now have a column of spools on
each corner nt tho back of the swing
seat. They aro intended to hold up tho
slats for tho arms of tho swing.
The twines aro then passed through
the holes in tho back slat; also through
one cud of each of the arms.
Allowing a good length to serve as
tho swing rope, each twine is next put
down through tho slat that crosses tho
front of tho swing; then through tho
front ends of tho arm slat; next
through two spools that aro set over
tho hole on the front side of the swing
scat, and last through tho scat hole
itself, whero it is knotted on tho under
side.
Tills sounds like a puzzle, but if you
havo your spools, slats and cords all
ready and follow directions you will
find that you havo mado a swing ex
actly like the one described hero.
Tho front slat slips up and down tho
cords whon dolly is to be put in or
taken out. To finish it very elegantly
you must gild tho scat, skits and spools.
A rod is passed through tho two cords
and laid on the chair backs when tho
swing is to bo used. Anulo J. Willis,

THE NIMBLE ELEPHANT.
How no Blaket Ills Way Up and Down
Steep -ilnuntnlns.
It i3 a remarkable thing that ele
phants aro able to inako their way up
and down mountains and through a
country of stcop cliffs whero mules
would not dare to venture, and whero
even men find passage difficult.
Their tracks havo been found upon
the very summits of mountains over
7,000 feet high.
In these journeys nn elephant is
often compelled to descend hills and
mountain sides which arc almost pre
cipitous. This is tho way in which it
Is done:
The elephant's first maneuver Is to
kneel down close to tho declivity. Ono
foreleg Is then cautiously passed over
tho edge ana a short way down the
slope, and If ho finds there is no good
spot for a firm foothold ho spo-edily
forms ono by stamping into the Boil if
it is moist or kicking out a footing If It
is dry.
When he is sure of a good foothold
tho other foreleg is brought down in
tho same way.
Then ho performs tho same work
over again with his feet, bringing both
forelegs a little In advance of the first
footholds.
This leaves good, suro places all mado
and ready for the hind feet.
Now bracing himself by his huge,
stroug forelegs, ho draws his hind legs,
first ono and then tho other, very
carefully over tho edge, whero they
occupy the first places mado by tho
foro feet.
This Is the way tho huge animal pro
ceeds all the way down, zig-zag, kneel
ing every time with tho two hind legs,
while ho makes footholds with his
fore feet. In this way tho '"center of
gravity" is preserved, and tho huge
beast prevented from toppling over on
his nose. St. Louis Republic.
Tlio Dos Could Not I'orffct.
Sir William Fraser says that one of
the saddest sight3 ho over saw was at
Interlakon, where he was standing on
the hotel steps watching the arrival of
travelers. I noticed that whenever a
carriago drove up in the evening a
large dog trotted out to It, wagging
his tail nnd looking at tho travelers.
For five or six days in succession this
went on. No one becmed to notico tho
dog, who retired every time to his cor
ner. I asked a servant at last what it
meant. "Oh," said ho, "that i3 a dog
that belonged to Mr. Dutton, who was
killed early In tho summer on tho
Jungfrau. He Is always waiting for
his master, nnd examines every car
riage that arrives."
How Ono Cradlo Wns Hocked.
During one of his trip3 to the Coast
Range mountains, Joo Cohen, a ped
dler, came to a lonely cabin, and found
the door wide opon, bays the Newman
Banner. In tho center of the floor
stood a cradle, in which was an Infant
fast asleep. Tho cradle was rocking
with surprising regularity, but no sign
of what propelled it could bo seen.
Joe's curiosity was aroused. Ho went
to the cradlo and found n stout cord at
tached to a nail driven in tho side of
it. Tho cord passed through an auger
holo in tho ditto of the house, lie took
up the trail, which toon led him into a
rnvino where a donkey, or burro, was
standing and switching its tail. The
mystery was explained. Tho other end
of the cord was tied to tho juek's tail,
und tho constant switching of its cau
dul appendage furnished motive power
sufficient to rock tho cradle.

cannon shots wcro fired after tho
Pacific mall steamship Costa Rica, fly

one of her passengers to tho Honduras
government. United Statos Minister
Baker was on board tho Costa Rica at
tho time

Ho thon Hod to Nicaragua, and with SUO
of his ndhcronts joined tho army of
President Sacasa, who was engnged in

had docidod to loavo Nicaragua. Ho
therefore sailed from Corlnto for Guate

day morning at Amapala, n port of on
try of Honduras on tho Pacific coast,
and nt 0 o'clock in the afternoon tho
commander of the Port Villlla de
manded that Cupt. Dow should

wore tired after the Costa Rica,
although sho flow tho American

however, but it is feared tho steamship
City of Panama, of tho same line, which
was lying In tho port, may havo been

BANKERS SET FREE.
A Mllnaukco Juilco Hold That
tho
Grand Jury Was Illccnl.
Milwaukee, Nov. 8. Sixty-seven in
dictments, returned against well
known Milwnukeeans by tho two
grand juries wbleli have been investi
gating the bank nnd other failures are
null and void. This is the result of a
decision by Judge Johnson in the
circuit court Monday afternoon
when ho dismissed Eugene S. Elliott
nnd F. W. Noyes, directors of the de
funct Plaukinton bank, who had been
Indicted for embezzlement by both the
first and second grand juries anil who
Instituted habeas'corpus proceedings to
secure their release on the last indict
ments. Tho indictments which Judge
Johnson's decision has thrown out are
as follows:
Frank A. Lappon, 14; William Planklnton, 8;
P. T. Day. 0; Charles 1 Cluson. 5; U. S. El
liott, 6; V. V. Noyes, S: William 11. Monsen, 3;
John 15. Knotting, 10; G. a TrumpIT, 2, and
Judge J. G. Jenkins, 5 total, C7.
The attorneys for tho indicted bank
ers went into court and contended that
the indictments found against their
clients were null and void becauso tho
lurv had no local existence when thev
were returned that Is, that the term
of tho jury expired with the September
term of tho municipal court and that,
therefore, the jury had no authority to
return indictments on the last day of
tho October term.
Judge Johnson promptly decided in
favor of tho bankers, baying that It
was clear under tho statutes that the
point mado by the defenso was well
taken and that tho jury had no legal
existence whon it returned tho indict
ment. He ordered that tho prisoners
bo discharged at once.

Chicago, Nov. 8. Literally cooked
In a bath of blazing alcohol, Mrs. Mary
Laslnakl of Ul ado street received In

in her death later in tho day. She died
after hours of fearful ugony. For a long
time past she has been an invalid
and, after sundry other means of re
lief hud proved useless, she determined
to try the ellect of alcohol baths. Her
first experiment was Sunday morning.
As sho stepped into tho bath sho slipped
and in so doing splashed the liquid
over tho edge. A stream of it ran over
the sido and reached tho lamp beneath
tho bath by which tho alcohol was
heated. In an instant the fiamo
had crept into the bath and before tho
ill-starred woman realized what hnd
happoned she was up to her waist In
living fire. Tho flames mounted and
wrapped themselves round the upper
part of her body. Sho shrieked for help
and struprprled to escape. In her hosto sho
slipped back Into the bath, and by tho
time sho could escape from the furnace
bho was burnt from hend to foot Sho
ran from tho room crying aloud in her
pain. Tho burning alcohol clung to her
skin and sho fell wrlthlug to tho
floor. At last sho fainted from tho
agony and whon assistance arrived sho
was so badly Injured that there was no
hope of hor recovery. Almost every
particle of skin had been burnt from
her body aud every movement en
hanced her torture. Sho 'died an hour
or two later.

A MASK TORN AWAY.
A Henprctod Cleveland Woman Proves to
Ilo n Notorious Shoplifter.
Cleveland, O., Nov. a Tho poltco
department of Toledo has made an ar
rest which lifts tho scales from a de
voted husband's eyes and which will
astonish west sido residents of this city.
Word was received hero Monday from
Toledo that Mrs. Arthur Young
was hold there on a churgo of stealing
a pockotbook containing S187 In a mll
inery store in that city. Her husband
hastened to her asslstnneo and to
him sho denied her guilt, claiming
that It was another woman whom
sho h;ul accompanied to tho storo
who committed the thoft Her husband
believed her and engaged an uttornoy
to defend his wife. Lator In the dny,
however, his hopes wore shattered.
His wife's room was searched and the
pockotbook containing tho $187 was
found concenled beneath tho earpot.
Mrs. Young turns out to bo no less a.
personago thnn tho notorious "Mother
Hubbard," whoso sneak-thieving pro
pensities nro known to tho polico
throughout tho country. . Hor pic
ture adorns tho rogues' gallery
In many of tho larger cities.
For years she has lived a dual
life. Whilo at her homo in this city
she appeared to hor acquaintances to
be tho soul of honor, anil sho was
greatly reelected. It was noticed,
however, that Mrs. Young often loft
home, rcmalnglug away for wooks at a
time. Nothing strange was thought of
this, however, as it was always believed
that she was away visiting friends or
relatives.
Tho husband was oven moro deceived
than anyone else. Ho never dreamed
that all was not well with his wife and
thought everything of her. On a recent
"visit" "Mother Hubbard" perpetrated
a clever job of pockct-plcUlng at De
troit, but wuh caught at it. In court
sho wept, and tho judge, taking com
passion on the woman, remitted a long
sentence of imprisonment and imposed
a heavy fine. This she paid after re
maining in prison a week or so. Sho
left the prison and returned to thisclty.
Mr. and Mrs. Yonug have lived in
Cleveland for heveral years, their homo
being at 14 Fulton street, west side.
They have enjoyed the highest esteem of
nil who knew them, and it is believed
that Mr. Young was completely ignor
ant of his wife'.s real character.
