Why Are 80 Many Horses Cross and
Enappish?

"Why? Because the fools are not all
dead yet
Horses hate to be specked at. Some
men are afraid of horses and the animals
know it; they despise 'em, and are cross
only to those who have no business with
them. But horses are made cross by the
way they are treated IF they aave kind
usage they become gentle; if rough they
respond in the same way.
st have become so we'll yersed in
horses that can read their thoughts,
and when I am in their company can
tell very well just what they think of
me-"
lyon recognize, then, the reasoning
power in horses?"
Most decidedly, sir. When I select
a horse for my school, I pick out those
that exhibit wit. I go q good deal by the
formation of the head and the brightness
of the eye. Horses have ambition and
show it in their makeup. When put
the horse in the school, begin by find
ing out his disposition. Then they go
into into kindergarten and learn the
simplest things first"

The editor of tue Crosby county CIar-
ion and Farmers Vindicator thought he
would double his circulation by prom
ising to publish biographical sketches of
his patrons. Some of the patrons liked
the idea very much, and took several
hundred copies to send to their friends,
but the majority of the patrons, who had
been indicted in other States before they
came to Texas, paid as high as twenty
dollars to have their biographical
sketches suppressed. The plan worked
like charm, and the editor, from com.
paratiye poverty, has scared up to posi-
tive afiuence.

HIS FIRST LOVE.

Meeting you
In September,
Sixty-two.
We were eating,
Both of us;
And the r.eeting
Happened thus:
Accidental,
On the road
detrimental
Episodel,
] was gushing,
You were shy;
You were blushing-
So was /
/ was smitten,
So were you
Gan that's written
Here is truel;
Any money!
Not q bit.
Rather funny,
Wasn't it?
Vows We plighted--
Happy pairl
How delighted
People wereI
But your father
To be sure
Thought it rather
Premature;
And your mother
Strange to say
Was another
IN the way.
What a heaven
Vanished then
you were seven,
| was ten)l
That was many
Years ago
Don't let any
Body know.

Washington, All the leading tele-
graph companies whose lines enter this
city, including the Western Union,
American Rapid and Baltimore & Ohio
have recently made application to the
District Commissioners Tor leave to erect
new lines of poles or reset the old lines in
various parts of the city. These appli-
cations have all been denied upon the
ground that the poles and wires disfgure
the streets snd interfere with growing
trees. The request Of the Western Union
company which was referred to Captain
Greene, was returned with the following
endorsement, Not recommended. In
place Of erecting new and larger poles,
this trunk line should be placed under
ground without delay" 1t is understood
that Mayor Lyderdeeker and Captain
Greene now have under consideration
plans for an underground system for
wires within the city limits and that the
district telephone company will shortly
begin the work of laying wires under

Paris, 5.-The French cabinet has

patch Of reinforeements to the French
contingent in Tonquin.

Kong states that the reported crossings of
the Tonquin frontier by Chinese troops

ensue unless the French government
