/ entered one of the many
shady walks which spread out in all d.
rectiOns, and few turns brought me to
q small marble building in Grecian style,
half hidden by foliage, with small knot
of people lounging about the entrance
A short distance away groom was lead
ing a white charger up and down. Upon
inquiry l found that the Emperor was IN
the building, which contains bath, and
that the people were waiting to present
TO him complaints or petitions. Several
old women wanted to have their con-

suing Tor the pardon of some criminal,
and, thou III l had nothing in particular
TO say to his Majesty, concluded to
stay and have good look at him. We
did not have to wait long. The folding
doors opened, and with rapid strides a
tall form passed by and had reached the
groom, with the horse before any OF the
petitioners could approach him. As he
mounted bad full view of his fair,
open countensnce, but his steed was a
more beautiful object to look upon the
noblest horse l ever saw; of pure Arab
blood, milk white, with rosy nostrils and
gracefulness and strength in every move.
When his imperial master seated himself
the gentle animal turned its head and
affectionately attempted to rIbble the
Emperors boots. but single word started

of the petitioners, who endeaVored 10

papers. The Gar shouted back few
words telling them to come to the palace
and disappeared from view. For the sake
of the beautiful horse was glad to hear
that there is park at Tzarskoie Selo,
where all horses who have ever carried
His Majesty on their back are kept in
idleness and abundance when their time
of active .ervice mas expired, and there
is no degradation in store for them to
carriage or even cart horses when Old age
comes on.
Why tne Mule Was Unhappy.

And then, with the ssd-eyed mule
with parabolic spine laboring in ad-
vance, the little street car went on its
way. The engineer was socially in
clined, and We fell into intimate con-
verse.
.Don't it require good deal more
genius to steer mule than it does to
handle horses?"

This interruption WAS caused by the
"mewip taking q side shoot and
taking the car with him. 1t required
much effort on the part Of the sallow
driver to restore the status quo-much

ago Mrs Heptenstall called at the
Mayors office and stated that her
child was dead, and that she had no
means BY which TO procure its burial.
The Mayor went to the promises shortly
after to see about the burial, and found
the poor mother engaged in keeping the
rats from the dead body of her child.
Not long after the Mayor was notified
that Heptenstall had deserted his wife,
aud that she was starving to death. The
Mayor paid another visit to the premises,
and found the woman in most mIsera-
bic condition, produced by hunger and
insttention. The Mayor concluded to
send her to the County Hospital, but on
the way she died and her sufierings were
ut an end. A short distance from the
city the vehicle passed her brute OF
husband on the highway, staggering from
the effects of drink.
