HORSEMEN IN TROUBLE
A Misunderstanding in Horse Trade Reaches Court.
Arthur Watson, through his attorney, William Ward Cook, .has brought suit for $100 damages against Mack Warrum alleging1 that the latter misrepresented a horse he sold to the plaintiff.
Watson bought the horse August 15, 15)05, for $65, paving, he says, SGOcash and agreeing to pay the other $5 when he was satisfied the horse was as represented. It the complaint the plaintiff says the horse was warranted sound, good and •quick in harness, single or double, but proved to be restive and ungovernable, balked and was utterly worthless.
The horse was returned, Watson says, to Mr. Warrum and left in his possession and the return of the £150 demanded, which was refused.
While in tile possession of Watson, lie says, the horse ran away injuring him in different ways, for all of which he demands damages in the amount •of *100.

Matter Indestructible.
All "ssential property of mutter, but which does not cjinmeiul itself to su-perik-ial observation, like those of extension and resistance, is indestructibility. So far as experiment and observation can discover mailer can neither be created nor destroyed. On the surface facts seem to contradict this assertion, ir any particular portion ol matter may be decomposed and resolved into its eon~ii ueiit parrs so that it seems to li.iw disappeared, because the form under which we knew it is no longer present. In reality, however, no diminution in the quantity of existing matter has taken place. One proof oi this is easiiy aiY.ceded by combustion, if we allow a piece of wood or coal or any combustible solid body to "burn away." there will, as we all know, be asl.es remaining. If while the combustion is going ui we take means to pre servo not on'y the ashes, but also every part ui' ihc body which would ordinariiy be dissipaled. as smoke and steam, and then Wfigh all the different substance-. sniid. liquid or gaseous, that we h!vo oii'iid.i 11. we shall lind the combined weights equal to the original weight of tlie b.idy itself.
Tin- I'iJJory In I0ii l:n:l. is dilliev.it to realize that as late as June :Jii. I••• barbarous a punishment as that of the pillory was still inili -ted. One l'eter James Bossy stood in the pillory in the Old i'.ailey on that day for perjury and was the last of a long line of victims, for it was abolished immediately afterward. Originally. like most mediaeval punishment, it was intended more as a disgrace than a-j a bodily discomfort, but a crowd that would watch all night to gloat over a public hanging in the morning naturally did not spare the victims of Ihe pillory, who sometimes died from the Ire: Client they received.

"I could see no reason for the prevalence of cancer among the backwoodsmen of North America," says an Euglish writer. "The other day, however, I happened to read in an account of the backwoods of Canada that the lumbermen maintain their remarkab'e powers on buckwheat cakes served with mobiles, potato pies, baked beans, white bread, pork and bacon. So far good, but that tea. b!a-k as ink, sweetened with molasses or sugar house sirup, is always near the (ire by day and by night and is used in vast quantities. Here we have the rich nutriment and 1 he great: excess of stewed tea and the excess of sugar, corresponding to the excessive beer and excessive coffee of parts of Holland. Scandinavia, Switzerland, Ilaiien and Bavaria, in all of which cancer is exceedingly prevalent."

Almost ail apes have beards. Pnrwin says that gorillas, chimpanzees and orang outangs have also stiff and bristly hairs upon their upper lips, resembling cats' whiskers. The beards of apes possess a remarkable resemblance to those of men, in being almost invariably lighter in color than the1 hair of the head. In apes the chin growth is most frequently yellow or red, becoming white in age. It is common to both sexes, although more strongly developed in the male. Apes —and monkeys also—have eyebrows as well, which do not grow thickly together as in human beings, but are scattered through the hair, covering the part of the faee which would be called the forehead in man.

Oric 1.1
Professor Schenker occupied the chair of entomology. He had come to America from a Oerman university with a great reputation in his profession. Nevertheless his pupils, who all loved him, declared that all the professor knew was about bugs. lie was as simple as a child. Y\"lien he went out after insects, which was orven. his wife was in dread les'. he fall into a well or get caught by the seat of his trousers in cro-siug a fence and perish before being found.
One day the professor, after many admonitions from .Mrs. Professor, went to the city to meet a man with whom he had an engagement. The man was apparently a farmer and carried a carpetbag of the rag variety, which he exchanged with the professor for some crisp notes. They were both (Germans, and both might have been taken for farmers. Indeed, after the trade, on visiting a beer saloon to refresh themselves every one there spotted them for a couple of "hayseeds." As they were about to leave, a man stepped up to the professor and, seizing his hand, said: "My dear old friend, how do you do?"
The professor did not remember him. but the man had no difficulty in convincing the professor just where they had met, and the throe went back for more beer. Then the newly found friend introduced a friend, and there was a tine party. "What y' got in your grip, ole man?" asked the man who had introduced himself. "Y' seem to feel afraid of losing it." "I got a dreasure in dat bag," replied Schenker.
By this time they had drunk a good deal of beer, and the newly found friends proposed to show the strangers the city in a hack. "Y' don't want to take that bag along. It wouldn't be safe. I'll leave it for y' with the proprietor of this saloon."
Through several mugs of beer the professor saw his treasure carried away without the power to protest. Then he was hurried into the hack with the man with whom he had made the trade, and the driver was told to show them the city. Had they imbibed less beer they might have thought it strange that neither of their entertainers accompanied them.
In a short time the professor, not having continued his potations, began to be fearful for the safety of his treasure and ordered the hackman to drive back to the saloon.
When the two men drove up to the door, seeing a crowd about it. with several policemen struggling to break through and go inside, the professor wrung his hands and moaned: "Mein (treasure! Mein dreasure! Dere liaf been a lire, and ail is burned up!"
Leaping from the hack, he elbowed his way into the saloon. All was commotion. From a private room came howls, and from the crowd, some of whom were standing on the tables, came cries of "Murder!" and "Police!" Suddenly the door of the private room opened, and the two men who had interested themselves in the professor's carpetsack rushed wildly out, swing ing their arms in a vain attempt to light off a swarm of bees that clustered about their heads. Their panic was communicated to the others, and there was a mad rush for the door.
When the saloon was cleared, there remained the proprietor, the two bee stung men, the professor and a policeman. The farmer who had sold the bees came in and, taking in the situation, hived them. Then came the explanation. It did not ret.piire many questions to convince the policeman that it was a contidenee game, in which the misplaced confidence was with the swindlers. He marched them off to the station, taking the professor along for his testimony, a crowd of gamins following, shouting and jeering the prisoners at the condition of their swollen heads.
When Professor Schenker returned home that evening he was met by his wife, who had seriously considered sending out a "lost child" alarm Throwing up her hands, she exclaimed, "My dear, whore haw you been
Then the professor told how he had heard of a rare variety of bees, how he had bargained for them by correspondence and taken them from their owner to bring home, rounding out the story with an account of the attempted capture of money and the reaping of a harvest of, hornets.
The story was published in an evening paper and was soon in possession of the college. The same evening a crowd of studeiits came to the professor's house, called him out. and one of their number addressed him: "We tender you and the land of your adoption congratulations on the noble manner in which you have steered bunko steerers into the open arms of the law, where they will receive their deserts and be a warning to the rest of their craft that if tliey try to bunko any one connected with our college they will find Jordan a hard road to travel."
The professor blushed and tried td stammer a reply, but when it was ap parent that he was about to break down in his attempt, the students covered his retreat with the college yell and four of them, taking him on their shoulders, carried him around the cam pus.
At the trial of the two swindlers Professor Schenker made a pathetic appeal for them, but it had no effect whatever on the heart of the obdurate judge, who sent them to state's prison for two years each.

GOOD RED BLOOD.
ft Generates Goad Manners, Good Morals and Good Morning. Every morning is a good morning to one who is feeling well. There is no such thing as bad weather. There are no blue Mondays or gloomy Sundays to any one who is living the right sort of life.
The good cheer of health, combined with a pure life, serves to turn every morning into a good morning and every evening into a good evening.
The best way to wish any one good morning or good evening is to set before him the example of right living, for it is through right living that good morning and good evening come.
It is of no use to say grace over a badiy cooked meal. The grace wiil not make it agree with the stomach. There is no use to say good morning or good evening unless we do the things that will make good morning and good evening. It is, indeed, a good morning for any one who has done an honest day's labor at some useful employment and has found eight hours of sound and refreshing sleep. Of course, it is a good morning when one does that. There is one thing that is needed, and that is to get right or to become adjusted to nature.
We like the weather when we are adjusted to the conditions about us. There is nothing wrong with the weather. The blame is with ourselves. 'The anaemic, nervous woman shudders at the touch of the spring zephyrs which would be refreshing and grateful to the healthy person. The constant fear of drafts, repeated dread of exposure to cold or heat are symptoms of bad health. If we would behave ourselves as well as the weather does there would be no cause for complaint. It is refreshing to come into the presence of the man or woman who can honestly Bay good morning, good afternoon, good evening—who can say it in such a way that you feel that they mean it.
Good feelings are contagious. An excess of vitality is catching. Good humor that bubbles over, that cannot be restrained even in the presence of uncongenial company, is wholesome and healthful.
Lots of good red blood is conducive to good manners, good morals and good morning. Any person who can honestly say good morning has had a fairly decent sleep the night before. A hearty good morning is a certificate of self restraint and a (dear conscience.
The devotee of sensuous pleasure lias rarely the honest right to say good morning. There are no good mornings for him. Dissipation has soured the atmosphere and poisoned the sunrise for liiui. If he says good morning at all he lies. It is merely a perfunctory remark. Iiis languid manner and icy touch expose the falsehood covered by the words "good morning."
Good morning is the sequel of gnod behavior. The price one pays for a real good morning is a good day's work. Good sleep, early to bed. up early in the morning, then indeed it is a good morning.
Every morning is a good morning to such persons. They have paid the price for it and are entitled to it.—Medical Talk
Reform That Was Too Thorough. Old Lady Collmrii was giving lier granddaughter some good ad vice tlie week before her wedding. "Now it's all very fine l'or yon to have these plans for making .lolui over—if lie needs it." said the old lady. "He may have some ideas about reforming a few little habits of yours, my dear—but you don't want to go too far, either of you. "When I was a girl somebody told me the story of a young woman who made the young man she1 married promise her he would have nothing to do with smoking. Well, that was all right enough, but he'd never been an inteinpernt" smoker, and he missed the little southing he'd been accustomed gel from his pipe once in awhile. '•Rut if ever she saw him looking at It she'd remind him, 'You promised me never to have anything to do with pipes or smoking when we were married.' "Then one day the kitchen stove acted like all possessed—filled the room full of smoke. She said she thought the stovepipe needed cleaning, but he— lie v.-as kind of stubborn, same as most men are at times—hi just sat there and said, 'I promised you when we were married never to have anything to do,with pipes or smoking, and this comes under both heads.' "And she had to go for the stove man herself, though he was a real eonsiderate man, most ways, her husband was. You just bear in mind that little circumstance when you're making John over."
rmippreciated Conrace. In 4he Tennessee mountains lived a little hunter named Hiram (iatep. Although small in size, Hiram was noted for his bravery for miles around in that section of the country, where courage was a common asset. Once while hunting he tracked a bear to a small cave. Now, a man hasn't one chance in a million lighting a bear in close quarters, but this fact didn't deter Hiram for a minute. Throwing down his gun, he put his knife between his teeth and crawled into the dark hole after the animal.
By the greatest of good fortune he succeeded in killing it, for the reason that the cave was so small that the bear couldn't turn around to defend himself. Otherwise there probably would have been a different story.
Hiram skinned the bear and then went home, where he explained the manner of the killing to his father. The old man listened quietly until the tale came to an end and then, in a high pitched, quavering voice, said: "Well, Hlrara, I like a brave man as well as anybody, but you're ail infernal fool!"
