An AUT lNATIC HORSE has been constructed
which Is designed to bring the salutary effects
OF horseback motion to those who are pre-
vented from using the live animal. As the
animal is stationary when in motion, it will
not fill long felt want. The man W no takes
n horseback ride for health and exercise
wants an animal endowed with sufficient in
teligence to stop at the several taverns gem
orally found along the road in ride of three
miles-not necessarily for water, but as an
evidence that the horse was once owned by a
prohibition orator --A0vTistoaon Herald.
THE FAULT OF THE Buns
Within the dimly lighted room,
She sat and unused alone;
Her brow Was DARK, and in her soul
Had sorrow made Its throne.
A deep remOrseful pensiveness
Was in her dreamy eyes;
The sadness that oppressed her hear.
Breathed forth in dreamy signs.
The woe that clouded that young life,
At morn SO bright and free,
Was six dyspepsia breeding buns
That she consumed at tea.
