he supposed caused the pain. ''Why, I
swallowed my plate and four false teeth
while asleep the other night,' was the
answer. The patient was put upon
liquid food and ali the examinations
made by the nse,iicos failed to locate the
swallowed article. The mans sufferings
were iessenad considerably and as test
it w:s decided to give him little piece

Thomas Jefyerson's Poetic Temperament

It must he remembered OF jefferson
that though he stood six feet two inches
high, ana possessed strong physical
vitality, yet he was cast in the feminine
rather than in the masculine mold. In
stead OF the athletic sports Of hunting and
horse racing, the harsh excitement Of
cards and personal broiIs, he shrank sway
to the more solitary and quiet pursuits Of
Books and n1asic, the writing OF rhymes
and dancing With village bellas. Ihs

HE SELLS OUT.

W. r. Merriam Sells Out and
Goes Out of the Horse Breeding
Business.
Friday last W. Fl. Wilson, of Gym
thiana, KY, arrived in St. Paul, and
before he left the next day, he had pur-
chased all the fine breeding horse stock
owned by w. R. Merriam, A year or
two ago Mr.. Merriam, being blessed
with abundant means and having a
great natural taste and fondness for
horses, concluded to establish breed
ing farm near st. Paul. A tract of land
suitable for the purpose was secured at
Midvale, about one mile east of st. Paul.
and upon this was placed the nucleus of
the establishment with view of add
ing to the stock as opportunity should
offer. The proprietor was deter
mined to go slowly and buy
nothing but the best. He com
menced well in purchasing the
we'll bred Sultan colt, San Gabriel. He
subsequently added other animals till
he had a good foundation established
for one of the best breeding farm in the
country. Had he continued it and en-
larged it as he intended to, it would
have added largely to the wealth and
fame of Minnesota. Circumstances,
however, over which he had not suf-
ticient control rendered it desirable, and
in a measure necessary, to sell. His
father owned a considerable interest in
the land, and had no special taste or de-
sire for breeding the trotter. Besides
this he desired to dispose OF his interest

Miscellaneous.

Joseph Cairn Simpson, editor of the
Breeder and Sportsman, San Francisco,
Cal, emphatically refutes the statement
recently published in New York, that
his great stallion, Antevolo, has short
ened his stride and lessened his speed,
owing to his being trotted in tips. He
claims that just the opposite is the case,
and that he expects him to show more
speed this year than ever before.

thing of his age in America. 1t is said
Mr.. Emery is willing to match him

test for 81, 900 corner, winner to take

The admirers of the light harness

Thomas j. Scott, the animal painter,
died at Lexington Thursday of last

Last week meeting was held at the
Merchants hotel of representatives of
the Minnesota State Agricultural
society and breeders of trotting and pac-
ing stock to make arrangements for the
races that it is proposed to have at Ham
line next fall. MesSrs f. G. Pillsbury

society, and MessrS. r. G. JudSOn, CIV.
Sherwood and Dr. o. &. Evans, for the
Minnesota Breeders association, can
vassed the situation very thoroughly,
and as result of their deliberations it
was agreed that for the Breeders stake
and the conditions will be issued by the
society at an early day. During the dis
cussion it was stated that Clarke Cham
berS, as the representative of the agri-
cultural society, would visit the
farmers institute to be held at Madison,
Wis, for the purpose of interviewing
breeders from all parts of the North
west who have Signified their intention
of being present on that occasion.
1t is whispered around that John
Dowd, who has been out of town for a
week or two, has bought something
fast.
Chinn & Morgan, Harrodsburg, KY,
have announced that their entire stud
of thoroughbreds will be offered at pub

claim to want money, and are deter
mined to get out of debt and retain their
stock farm, and resume racing and
breeding at some future time. The
stud consists of forty-five head, with the
great race horse and stallion Leonatus,
the best three-year-old of his year, at
the head of the stud; twenty-five brood
mares, with colts at feet or in foal, and
fifteen yearlings.

SUITABLE TO HIS TASTE.
W. r. Merriam, having other business
matters on hand, concluded that it would
be loading himself down with too many
cares to take upon himself alone the
added burden of large breeding estab-
lishment, so he determined that the
whole plant. The result was that Mr..
Wilson. knowing what the stock was,
came up here and picked it up very
quickly. The lot taken by him con-
sisted of six head as follows: San
Gabriel, horse colt four years old, by
Sultan Midvale Wilkes, horse colt, by
Red Wilkes, dam by Hambrino 2:214,
three years old; Lottie ThOrne, 2:27, by
Mambrino Patchen, brood mare; Pa
thence, four-year old filly, by Mambrino
Patchen; Hattie Case, by Simmons,
three year-old filly, dam Rosa Sprague;
Lottie Simmons, yearling filly, by Sim
mons, dam Lottie Thorne. The price
for these six animals is not made public.
1t may be said, however, that Mr.. Mer-
riam received for them considerably
more than they cost him. No one knew
the value of the stock better than Mi.
Wilson did, from whom most of them
were originally purchased by Mr.. Mer--
riam. 1t is very much to be regretted
that Mr.. Merriam should have found it
for his interest and convenience to retire
from the ranks of the breeders. He is
young, with plenty Of means and dis
position toward the horse that would
make him one of the leaders among the
breeders of Minnesota.
