t ep0rt of the u erik of the Portage
County Humane society for the
First Six M8nIhs.
Ordered five horses off duty, and one
mule. Two of the horses died and two
were shot. The mule is off duty and
being permanent cripple, should be
under the sod.
Many cases ofover-driving and over
loading, some of under-feeding and
failing to blanket horses after being
heated, while hitched on the street on
cold, stormy days, have been corrected.
Animals are no longer allowed to be
brought to market tied dow n ON their
side on blackboard or wagon, but
must be brought in, if alive, on their
feet. Lame and sick horses have been
looked after as best the Society could
in its inexperience. The agents of
the Society have done their work
without remuneration in money. The
good people have blessed them and
cruel nen cursed them. No one est.
mate the benefits to dumb animals Sc
cured by the simple fact that such a
society exists. besides the direct inhu-
ence of our legal agents, who are serv.
ants Of the State of Ohio. No other
institution il the county has better
backing than this one, and it is hoped
that thu memb bers will all be faithful
to duty and confidence

A Vermont Bridegroom.

The story about the Vermonter who proposed to add half dollar to the amount which the Flaw allowed" the parson for marrying hIm, has brought to the historian a brand new story oi another wedding fee transaction in Vermont. It Is from glen village away back from the Connecticut, in the hills, where money is scarce and the ways are primitive, and the peo. pie frt rtquently prefer to pay for their purchases in kind. One day young couple came to the parson at the vll- lage to be married. They hadn't a cent of money, and it had been ar ranged that the bridegroom should bring specified quantity of bees.wax with which to pay the minister. The parson was thrifty-they have to be thrifty up that way--and took good care, before he performed the cere. mony, to weigh out the bees-wax and see whether there was enough to pay his fee. There wasn't.
 "Why haven't you brought all the bees-wax you agreed to1" asked the minister.
 "All l had, parson."
 "And you haven't got any morel"
 Mot another ounce"
 "Have you got any money it all1"
 "Not mite, parson."
 There was period of uncomforta- ble silence, during which the young farmer began 10 grow very much alarmed. He was afraid the parson wouldn't marry him unless he pro- duced his uttermost o1nce of bees wax, and the prospect struck terror to his soul. The parson was inclined to let him "stew."
 Look a.here, parson" said the countrymsn finally, Il tell ye what ye do; you take the bees-wax and marry Us as fur as II goesl' Boston Rec srd.

MAKING A SALE.
How A Dakota Man Deceived an Honest
 Citizen About a Horse.

Citizen About Horse.
 A man was driving across the coun- try in Dakota when he came to house with man hobbling around in tbe yard on a crutch. A fne-looking horse was tied to post near and the traveller stopped and said:
 "Is that horse for sale?"
 "Well, now, I'll tell you jest how tis'bout that air hoss; you see it's the one my wife drives, and I don't know as she'd want to part with it. It's a very gentle hoss, very gentle"
 "That's what want, a horse that is gentle and kind."
 "That jest hits that horse precisely, pardner, no easier horse to handle in the country"
 ''Never kicks, l suppose9"
 "Never knew him ter histe his feet 'cept ter walk"
 "What is it worth2"
 "That's jest it-don't b'lieve I can sell him-my wife would miss him so. Tell you what I'll, do though; you give me SIS fer that hoss, and I'll try and break in one of the colts fer her to drive. Don't b'lieve I can ever get 'em as gentle as he is; but seein' you want him, I'll let you have him for that.
 "Well, I'll take it.. What makes you so lame?"
 "Oh, rheumatiz got holt uv me agin-jeit bout used me up. I'll tie the hoss behind the wagon for you"
 "All right. Your barn seems to be scatteaed around somewhat. Cy. clone strike it?"
 "Well, now, should say there did --reg'Iar twister uv a tornado jest spread it all round. There you'll ind that hoss'll lead up all right and be jest as gentle as kitten. Good day stranger, yer'v got mighty fine barg' in there; that hoss is sound and wouldn't hurt a fly"
 The man drove off and a boy crawled out from under the house and said:
 Dad, it's a mighty good thing that old Bill stopped kicking fore he come 'loDg."
 "You bet it was, my son. He had jest sent the last board of the barn flyn' over fn the garden and the dust was a settlin' when the feller drove up. l guess he busted two uv my ribs and put my leg sorter out uv int the first kick he made, but l reckon SITS will fix 'em up. wus afraid he'd back up and begin on the barb-wire while the man was here, but he didn't happen to. Bout the time he planted his off foot in my ribs I'd a took 90 cents fer him, but I s'pose it's jest as we'll to get fair price. Always re- member, my son, in future life eff ye're sellln' yer wife's favorite buggy horse jest own right up to 1t and put on good price to soothe your wounded ieelin's at seein' it go. Never forget that .the straight truth Is the best in time like this"

Hot Trails.

New Mexico and Arizona are run ming over with molten trails and dead men. For months the troops have been only few hours behind the hos tiles, and find no difficulty in remain ing there. Upon the ragged edge of dispair from time immemorial we are tossed the we'll polished bone of solace that the approaching rains will melt the mocassin of the Apache and that he will be caught. We want no proof that a wet mocassin becomes a useless rag, but 1t will require more than Herculean logic to convince us that the Apaches will be c'mght by the troops, though we freely admit the probable capture of the warllke relic itself being inanimate the pedal en- closure may find difficulty in escape. Far beyond the intense heat of the trail the Indian rests tranqullly on a bed of scalps, his feet encased in gov ernment boots that do not melt, with in his hand the latest make of field glasses. stoically gazing at the beauties of nature, with au occasional glance at the enemy observing the usual dis tance. Yes, the trails are hot, so would you be if so long sat upoh. Military discipline is necessary. It is positively essential in civilized war fare. Don't work, however, in hunt ing Indians. The Apache knows no bugle sound; he loses no precious mo- ments Tn salutes, he "carrles arms" to suit himself and shoots at will. He dimes in the saddle, Unnecessary, while travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour. He pops the pale face first and later in the year receives per mission 10 exercise the same good judgment. The Apache has charm ed life. Hunted since childhood by a powerful and indignant government he has never been injured. At times he voluntarily becomes prisoner 10 satisfy few wants, or as a motive of sympathy for the pale faced warrior, lest his long absence tend to dim the soldiers recollection of himself and obliterate the motives of the war. The Apache listens not to the martial strains; he has no use for "wind jam mers"; he mounts no guard. on the contrary, he dismounts them, secur. ing their availables. "Taps" at even tide effect him not. He extinguishes his light at pleasure-yours too. The gun he fires at sundown hurts some. body. He calls no roll, not neceSs ary. He is a good risk in any insur- ance company if the government will guarantee the premiums. It has been said as a solution to this perplexing question that a choice selection of the most business,like Apaches, turned loose in the halls of Congress with in structions to operate would go far to- wards bringing this question promi- nently before the members; besides coat talls as card tables would be numerous and cheap. We cannot hurrah for the Apache. He is no friend of ours. We drop tear for our slaughtered kinsman. The army as "under dog" has our sympathy. Who mourns for the government? Not one.-By Ramiod in Maria New Era.
