A Detroiter called at livery stable yes
terday morning to secure rig to take his
Wife out for ride, and ne made it point
to ask for docile animal. While the horse
intended for him was being hitched up she
reared up and acted very nervous, and the
proprietor explained:
uYou needn't be bit afraid OF her.
She's simply little of to-day"
The citizen got into the carriage, was
whiried around the corner, and nothing
more was seen of him for two hours. Then
he came limping back, and asked:
"That horse was little of, wasn't She"

eWell, she kept growing offer and offer
till concluded to get out, and then the way
she got off altogether was bad for the buggy.
Go and get the pieces, and we'll settle

OF the smartest Scotiand-Iard detectives to
find young girl who bad inherited for
tune OF quarter OF million. At the end
OF six weeks tie detective returned, and
gave in his resignation. .'Well," SAID his
