The Love Of the Mustangs.

Last fall d. G. Evans bought a pair of
Texas mustangs. They we're shaggy lit
tie animals, understood and apparently
of little value. They proved. however,
to be hardy and useful, and soon became
great favorites with their owners. The
evident ELECTION which existed between
the two animals was noticed and com
mented upon by everybody. They were

could be found the other was not far of.
and il either were ridden or driven away
from home its mate had to be taken
along too. About two weeks ago the
smaller horse was taken i'll. He grew
steadily worse day by day in spite OF all
treatment. and finally became so weak
that he was unable to stand or to eat.
His mate never deserted him, but lost
his spirits, and, with dropping head. re-
msiued with his companion, never stray
ing of more than few yards from his
side. The sick horse finally died. From
the time of his death his mats seemed to
be possessed with demon. He was at
first fastened up IN n stable, but he
kicked the door down and ran out in the
field. neighing and acting in such fren-
zied manner for some hours that no one
dared to approach him. and finally in
one OF his insane freaks he fell and
broke his neck.-Louisville Courier

Excavations ut Athens.

The excavations of the Germans cover
an irregular area of about ten acres
Just to IL north of the eXcavat ions
rises a steep. conical hill, once sacred to
the God Kronos, from which good.
comprehensive view of the ruins can be
obtained. Near the middle of the ex.
cavated area is the Temple of Zeus, with
the remnants Of its Doric columns thir
ends. North of that, not far from the
foot of the hill of Kronos, is the Heraion
or Temple of Hera, one of the most
ancient of the Olympic temples, and
Just east of the Heraion is the Metroon,
or Temple of the Mother of the Gods
Along the northern edge of the excavated
area, Just ut the foot of the hill of
Kronos, are twelve treasure houses,
which were built by twelve Greek cities
to hold their dedicatory offerings. From
the northeast corner of the main ex
cavated area an arched passage leads ont
into the Stadion, or race course where
the foot races were run. OF the hippo
drome or horse-race course no remains
have been found. Shuth of the Temple
of Zeus was the Bouleuterion or council
house, aud in the northwest corner of
the excavations are the foundations of
the great gymnasium. All the excavated
area is filled with the ruins of buildings,
some of which have been identified with
those mentioned by ancient writer's,
while in regard to others nothing is
known. Though little more than the
foundation of the various buildings is
now in position, the fragments lying on
the ground are sufficient to make an
almost complete restoration of nearly all
the buildings possible. The ground is
literally covered with the drums and
capitals of mighty collars, the great
stones of massive walls and other archi-
tectural remains. The mass of brown
ruins in the green, fertile valley is truly
an imposing sight. What must it have
been when those bOwn stones were bril-
liant with bright colors and gliding,
when bronze aud marble statues stood on
every wall and pedestal, and the paths
were crowded with the noblest and
greatest OF the Hellenic race.-Corr.

Cutting Heads OF.

You probably know that, in Berlin,
when they wish to deprive a criminal of
his life, they cut him in two ut the neck.
The executioner that Yields the sharp

lions on an avenger, about once n month.
His name is Krauts, q mild faced old
fellow with soft, gentle voice, O dandy
manner, and white hands, and on these
occasions he usually smokes cigarette
He has four assistants, a quartette of
cruel, hardiooking men, whose duty it
is to strip the victim. In the case under
notice, the culprit was suffering the ex
treme penalty of the law for no less a
crime tran the murder of his wife aud
two children. When he had been
stripped to the undershirt, the collar of
which was cut down to the level of his
shoulders, his feet pinioned and his
hands tied behind him, he was led out
and his head placed upon the block. In
the meantime Krauts, the executioher,
had stood among the few spectators of
the scene, quietly putting his cigarette,
and without anything in his demeanor
indicative of his office. When the plat.
form was reached, he threw aside his
cigarette, grasped the Ak in his white.
sinewy hands, gave it swing upward,
and struck with force sufficient to de-
tach the head from the body instantly.
The remains were covered with black
cloth, and the witnesses, having signed
their names, were escorted out of the
