At Wards Corners, Delaware county
Iowa, Alfred Bush owns French stallion.
Since he purchased the animal, the latter,
has shown most vicious temper, and is
unsafe and dangerous to handle. Mr..
Bush has a son about two years old, to-
whom the horse has formed great attach
ment, and the two frolic together strangely.
The boy will put his little hands in the
horses mouth pull out his tongue, seize his
tail and swing with it, climb up his legs
in fact, do whatever his childish treaA
prompt. For hours they thus play together,
the horse apparently enjoying it as well as
the boy, and what is singular, the horse will
allow none to come near while the boy Is
with him, and is specially cautious ABOUT
injuring the boy himself.
Worth, the man dressmaker OF Paris, does
not find the republic to his liking, and
everybody can easily understand why, In
addition to the simple manners which have
been thought becoming for republic,
Worth is no longer unrivaled in his special
field. There are other men dressmakers
who are thought to be better, and who DO
not make dresses for actresses and so get
themselves talked about in the newspapers:
Strangely enough, while it is the republic OF
France which almost destroys Worth, 1t Is
the republic of the United States which
saves him. Mr.. Worth does not hesitate to
say, that were it not for the ladies oil TIE
United States, he would have to close up
his shop. American ladies, therefore, he
considers the best-dressed women IN the
world.
Even to this day the advent of gyp-
sizes is regarded as an i'll omen by the
Russian peasants. When it is announced e'd

about to make their appearance, there is
a ahurly-burly among the villagers. The
men hasten to bring their horses in from
the fields where they are grazing; the
women put their poultry under cover

closely watched. Besides their, other
