The greatest good feeling charac-

in complimenting the Convention on

the good feeling continued, the nom

A New Kind OF Horseshoe.

In England they are adopting a
horseshoe made of cow.hide, ana
known as the Yates shoe. 1t is
composed of three thicknesses of
cow-hide compressed into steel
mold, and then subjected to a
chemical preparation. 1t is claimed
for it that it lasts longer and weighs
only one-fourth as much as the
common iron shoe; that it will new
er cause the boot to split nor have
the least injurious influence on the
foot. 1t requires no calks; even on
alphalt the horse never slips. The
shoe is so elastic that the horses
step is lighter and surer. 1t adheres
so closely to the foot that neither
dust nor water can penetrate be-
tween the shoe and the hoof.

ATERRIBLE "JOSHER,"
Who Would Stuff q Man SO Full Of
Yarns he Was Not Fit to be Be.
Iieyed for Months After.

The following story on the junior
member of the livery firm of Derby
Il Garhart, of Virginia, is too good to
be permitted to remain buried in the
columns of such country paper as
the Reno Gazette. II is clipped
from an article on .the knights OF
the whip" which was recently pub
lished in that paper:
"Bill Garhart, or Curly Bill, was
terrible josber. Always stuffin
some greeny, and getting the rest of
us to prove up for him. / remem-
Der one time Bill and me was goin'
over the summit. Bill was drivin'
and was helper-we run on sleighs,
you know, and there was a narrow
track only for the sleigh to run in.
Here and there was the places where
the wlippletrees scratched the pines,
and these marked the pines and
that marked the snow depth. An
English greeny was ridin' with us
that night, and stickin' his head out
of fur coat, just like a turtle, he
noticed these marks on the trees.
Jaw, dwiver, dwiver,' said he, SOW
far might those marks be from the
hearth?
WELL said Bill, they might be a
mile and quarter
ooh, 'ang it, dwiver. 'ow deep is
the bloody snow, you known
WELL replied Curly, 'as 1 said
before, stranger, it might be mile
and quarter, but it's only sixty
feet
Sixty f-e ct! Now dwiver,
deprecatingly.
'Ain't it Lynch" said Bill, turn
ing to me-"
"A trihe over sixty feet said /,
and the Englishman swallowed it,
| "He must have been pretty full
if he swallowed sixty feetof snow"
said the reporter.
"Well, yes; no was, but Bill
stuffed 'em all just that way. Curly
was one OF the best reinsmen that
ever took up the ribbons, but goini
across the hills he'd stuff a man SC
full OF them yarns that he wasn't fiji
to be believed for months after he
landed"
