THE RIGHT OF wAY.

There was a Detroiter among the
trio of officials who passed over the
route Of the Butler road to secure the
right of way. In some cases farmers
cheerfully signed of; In others money
had to be used, but in enc case the
committee found most determined
opposition. The road would divide
widows farm, and she was independ-
ent, obstinate and defiant. She knew
that her hay stacks and barns would
be destroyed by sparks, her live stock
run over by trains, and her slumbers
disturbed by the rattle of trains, and
she wouldn't listen to argument In
this energy one OF the committee
said
"Aiadam, ds YOU know of any Wild
ow in this neighborhood who w0uld
be willing to hoard a gentleman con-
nected with the construction Of ouI

to board with a widow"

A few days ago Western merchant
who wanted 10 do some sightseeing
and buy bis fall stock at the same

first person he met with, care you

"At present am acting as shipping

important looking parsonage with a
diamond pin, and asked 'Are you

"Well, no I can't say as sm

am laying for $500 pew in an up

The next man had his feet up, his

the stranger said
"Youmust run this establishments
"Me? Well, ! may run 1t very

as showing how a boy won by kind
ness horse that men could not con-
quer by force
One day there came to Philips
court 9 beautiful, high spirited war
horse as o present TO the King. The
animal was pure white, with the ex-
certlon OF q black mark, the shape ef
= bulls head on his forehead. Now,
In the Greek language, "BucephaIusv
means bulls head, and so was the
horse named. Bucephalus was led
to one Of the parks which belonged TO
King Philips palace, and the cour-
tiers and the King followed TO exam
Inc him. The grootDs attempted to
mount him, but were each thrown in
turn, some breaking their limbs.
Then tie Enest experienced horseInen
tried, and the daring young noble
men but they all gave up, for no
one could conquer the unruIy
nurse, who became more and more
restless. In those days there we're
no stirrups or saddles, and Il was not
an easy matter to mount vicious
horse, and those who tried to subdue
the fiery Bulls Head gave It up, land
King Philip ordered the animal to
be taken away.
All this time the young Prince Al
exandeT, the Kings son, had stood By
watching the motions ~ the horse,
and thought that he discovered the
reason OF BucephaIus' strange beha-
vior. The Prince was an intelligent
young man, full of energy and spirit,
and Of a reflective and considerate
turn Of mind his teacher was Aris-
totle, one Of the great Greek philos-
ophers, and from him Alexander had
studied until powers OF judgment
and calculation were much Improved
and above that of the general Greeian
youths.
"Father," said Alexander, 'let
me try and mount the horse"
King Philip would net hear Of this,
but Alexander, begged again for the
favor, this time with success. The
young Prince stepped to the side Of
Bulls Head, patted him upon the
neck, tHrned his head to the sun, and
Ileaping quickly on his back, rode Of
at high speed, holding in perfect con-
troll the once fiery steed. He had
found that Bucephalus was, fright
ened at his own shadow. King Philip
was pleased when his son returned
with the now tractahle and docile
horse, and said proudly:
alexander, you deserve a larger
kingdom than Macedonia to govern. ,
. Bucephalus became the Prince
favorite war-horse, kneeling at Alex
ander's command, in order that h
he might mount moro easily
; | AieSTsander Ss had had him buried WITH & gFea
j. ceremony on the hanks of the Hydas
: pes, and u city founded in honor {
his memery, and called Bucephalus.
