She Knew the Beast.

"You see this hoss,don't youP" called
out a woman about forty years of age
as she drove up to a Grand River Ave-
nue. blacksmith shop yesterday.
The smith came out and replied that
his sight vas good.

right to once" she continued, and she
jumped down and had the horse almost
out of the old wagon before the smith
reached the curbstone. She led the
beast into the shop, sat down on the
bench and prepared to take a smoke,
and as the blacksmith took down a shoe
she observed:
"No fooling, now. want that shoe
to stick to that foot for a whole year.
You can't impose on me cause I'm a
woman"
After the hoof had been prepared the
horse suddenly became FESTIVE, dancing
around and bothering the sheer so that
he could not proceed
"You don't seem to have had any
experience with horses" remarked the
woman, as she rose up and laid her pipe
aside. 81 know this beast from Dan'l

The smith retreated a few feet and
the woman caught the horse by the bits,
gave him a two-hundred-pound kick in
the ribs and yelled:
"Whoa! Charles Henry git around
there-stand over and take that-and
this-and some more! Now come up
and toe the mark"
Charles Henry kicked the anvil of the

kicked the hardest, and when the horse.

Discovery OF a MastOdOn Skele-

A correspondent of the Chicago In

element here, occasioned by the un-
earthing of the bones Of a monster ami
malin Walnut Township, Jewell County,
Kan. 1t was first discovered by Stephen
Emery, a lad IA years old. He was
walking In the prairie barefoot, and
stubbod his toe against what proved to
be one OF the tusks, which stuck out Of
the ground a few inches. He observed
that IL was different from the rock here,
and endeavored to dig 1t out with his
pocket-knife, which he broke in the
operation, when he abandoned his de-
sign, saying nothing about it for some
time; but seeing some other bones Of
large size (there having been several
found in this vicinity, he made his dis,
covery known, which resulted in the
unearthing last week of nearly all the
bones Of a huge monster. They were

Centennial Butter and Cheese
Factory.

You have already heard much about
the model butter and cheese factory,
and not a little regarding alleged irreg-
ularities connected with its manage
ment. Yesterday your correspondent
visited this factory to test the matter for
himself. 1t has been urged by the crit
les that adequate measures have not
been taken for ventilation and refrigera-
ton of the curing and storing-rooms.
1t is certain, however, that nine-tenths
of the best factories in Central New
York are not provided with curing
rooms as cool, clean, and fresh as this
factory possesses, had no artificial
methods been adopted at all. A patent
earth duct, which has proved entirely
imperative, has unfortunately been put
in at an expense of 500; but this duct
which is merely a horizontal covered
duet in the ground about seven feet be-
low the surface, and opening into the
curing-room-can certainly do no in
jury, and ample provision for cooling
with ice.chests has been made. 1t may
not be superhuous to add that this
patent cooling device, and the inor-
dinate desire for its disply and adver-
tisement, have been the causes of near
" all the jealousy and controversy re-
lating to the Centennial factory, and it
is much to be regretted that the disap-
pointed persons continue to cripple the
enterprise in every possible way.
The model factory, so far as the build
ing goes, is a credit to the industry.
The showing of apparatus is not so
complete IS it should be, nor is the dis
play of cheese so large as the occasion
demands. The great heat and the eff
forts of the opposition rendered the
July display very meager. The Com
mittee of Award were nearly unanimous
in their judgment. The awards can
not be announced until the final report
of the chiefs is made, in November. 1t
is to he hoped that the October special
display will somewhat retrieve the July
exhibition. The Canadians have with
drawn their cheese, expressing entire
satisfaction. At present there is no
butter nor cheese on exhibition. The
second floor of the factory is devoted to
a sort of dairyman's restaurant, whore
the rates for bread and milk, mush,
etc., are very reasonable, as compared
with the ruinous rates of the more pre-.
tentious restaurants. At noon this res,
taurant is crowded. The superintend
ent, Mr.. ID. l.. Pope, of Ohio, and near
ly all the other members Of the com
mittee, expressed regret that the above
mentioned unpleasantness should have
occurred, and were hopeful that, will
combined effort and cooler weather, al
will be well in October Cor. Couatr,

The Chcqucred Life of a Queen.

The cx-Queen Isabella has returned
to the country from which she was so
ANONYMOUSLY elected nearly eight years
ago. There are few sovereigns living
at this day whose past is so full of dra.
matte interest as that of Donna Isabel
II.
In 1888, at the age of three years,
she was raised to the throne of Ferdi-
nand the Catholic, in consequence of
the arbitrary repeal of the Salic law by
her father, Ferdinand VII. For seven
years after this her supporters waged a
sanguinary war against her uncle, Don
Carlos, who claimed the virtue of the
old Spanish law of succession and
when he had been overtaken at last by
the treason of Maroto, her own gener-
ais, Espartero and O'Donnell, fought
for three years over the spoils, and the
former having the better of the fight,
sent her mother, Donna Christina, into
exile.
In 1913 Espartero was overthrow in
his turn, and the Queen declared Of
age. Three years later, in 1916, old
Louis Philippe dealt with her and her
sister, the ~Infanta Luisa, as mere tools
of his policy, and in this way the
"Spanish marriages" were brought
about by which a war nearly arose be-
tween France and England. For two
a~nd-twenty years after this there was
not a more unhappy being in the world
than this Queen, who, On the one hand,
was joined to Il husband for whom she
could have no affection, and on the
other was subjected to the %Huctuating
influences of miserable counselors, not
IL of whom, with the sole exception
of Narvaez, kept faith with her.
When at last, or September go, 1868,
she was driven into exile, q period of
peace and rest began fer her, and of
strife and misery for unhappy Spain.
Her position will now be a most deli
cate one-a Queen living near the
throne, but not on the throne-and lit
tie good is hoped for from this state of
things, either for her or for her coun-
try. y. Sund1y Democrat.
