FARMER ELLIOTTs HORSE.
An Unfulfilled Provision for Removing
it from a Cold World.
From the New York World.

GTOHt tue ANtW Il OFh ~ bFlIs
NEW HAVEN, June q. Frederick T.
Elliott, wealthy and eccentric farmer of
Durham, died about two months ago,
leaving a will, one of the clauses of which
related to horse that he had owned for
twenty years. 1t provided that the executor
of his will Samuel W. Soper, should see
that the horse was killed. The horse was
one for which Mr.. Elliott had strong af-
lection, and during the latter part of his
life he did everything for the comfort Of
the aged animal. On one remarkably cold
day Mr.. Elliott brought out pair of his
own trousers, and after considerable work
succeeded in drawing them on to the hind
legs of his horse, and tying them with
strings. The horse was found in his stall
thus clothed by Mr.. Elliott's son-in-law.
In order that the clause of the will might
be faithfully carried out, Mr.. Soper hired
a neighbor, Roswell w. Wellington, to kill
the horse for 81. The lot where the animal
was to meet its fate had been designated By
Mr.. Elliott in his will. About four weeks
ago Wellington got the horse and also his
81, aud Executor Soper felt that he had
carried out the wishes of Mr.. Elliott. He
was somewhat surprised to be informed at
the village postofiice one evening last week
that the horse which he supposed dead was
being driven about the streets of Middle
town. He Immediately set to work to solve
the problem. Wellington, the executioner
whom he had hired, refused to take him to
the lot that had been specified as the place
for killing the horse and show him the re
mains, but firmly maintained that ne had
slain the horse The lot is large one,
pasture land, covered with underbrush and
small hillocks, so that a search for the car
cass was difficult and at the same time
unsuccessful.
Mr.. Soper went to Middletown, where he
found the horse. Although it was altered
somewhat in appearance, he was satisfied
that the animal was the one that he had
ordered killed. James Wadsworth of this
city, son-in-law of Mr. Elliott, was taken TO
Mddetown. He fully identified the horse,
which Mr.. Storer replevined and took back
to the stall where lie had worn his late
masters trousers.
After three days of detective work it was
learned that Wellington, after taking the
horse, had sold it to John Stevens, James
Mccarthy, and other parties for SIS. They,
in turn, had disposed Of it to a Middletown
horse jockey for s25. He had fled the
animals teeth, dyed its coat in places, and
sold it to Bronson and Barry of Portland
for 1925 The principals in the several
deals have been arrested and will DO tried
in Durham on June 30.

Using Well-bred Sires,

The refusal or neglect Of farmer to en-
gage in raising well-bred stock or in i'm
proving the common stock he has by the
purchase of a sire, of one of the improved
breeds, says an exchange, is not always due
to the fact that he is not convinced of the
advantage that would result from his doing
so. It is often the case that such a man,
satisfied that the better class Of stock
brings more profitable returns, decides to
invest, but having in mind the amount he
has received for what he has sold, the prices
asked for well bred animals seem high to
him and he defers buying thinking he may
be able to purchase what he wants for less
money. Waiting for the anticipated IA
vorable opportunity the season slips by, and
more than one. He does not stop TO con-
slider that even should he pay considerably
more for well-bred sire than he con-
cluded to invest. the difference in the value
OF the produce for one year will not only
make up the increased price, but probably
be much more than the entire cost Of the
animal. In his endeavor to save few tens
he has lost AS many hundreds.
An instance of this kind comes to mind
where the owner Of herd Of some fifty
common cows made up his mind to buy
well-bred bull to take the place Of quite an
ordinary grade he had been using, and do
cided that he would pay 500 tor bull he
knew was for sale, and with which he was
we'll satisfied, having observed that his
calves were shapely and growthy and al
WAYS seemed to be thriving. It happened
that the owner Of the bull in question was
also pleased with the character Of his get
and was not disposed to sell unless he could
get what would enable him to get another
bull that was priced at $3.50. The differ
once prevented the purchase being made,
and not having another favorable oppor-
tunity TO buy what was wanted elsewhere,
the Grade sire was used another year. The

How to Make the Dairy Paw

A well-known writer on dairy matters
says that the general average price of but
ter in locality was pretty correctly gagged
by the amount Of dairy literature taken by
those there engaged in dsirying. 1t pays
always to be intelligent, even if 1t has to be
paid for and exertion made to master the
subject. Here are five rules, some of which
may be of use "
l. Set out the milk quickly as possible
after milking.
g. Skim of the cream before the milk gets

g. Churn before the cream gets sour, l. E.,

Brought the Archbishop to Terms.
From a Santa Re Lettei


The recent lamented death Of Archbishop
Lamy of Santa Fe, one Of the most widely
revered men in the far west, recalls a sin
gular incident in which Col. Manuel Chaves
figured. Chaves then lived in Santa Fe,
lust back of the famous old Guadalupe
church, tho present pride of Santa Fe
Between the house and the church was a
little lane, which was necessary for ingress
to the house from the street. While Don
Manuel was absent on his six months cam
paign against the Utes In 1855, Archbishop
Lamy, under a misapprehensl had the
lane walled up Many Others beside the
Chaves family were vastly Inconvenience
but none dared lift finger or a voice.
When Col Chaves returned from the cam
paign he was astonished TO find his lane
closed so that he could not get his horse TO
the house.
"Who the d did thisf he asked a
bystander.
'"The archbishop, Senor."
Chaves at once dismounted and began
throwing the adobes Of the wall into the
river. In two hours a crowd of 600 people
was helping him, and he soon rode in
triumph to his own door,
Bishop Lamy, hearing what had taken
place, sent word that he would excOmnuni-
cate Chaves next day unless the wall was
replaced. Col. Cnaves at once sent back
word in effect as follows:
"The property on which you built that
wall is mine. care nothing for excom-
muncation, but it would be the death Of
my wife, who is a good christian; and II
you excommunicate me will kill you"
"He is n man Of his word" said those 10
whom the archbishop turned for advice,
land will just as surely kill you as you ex-
communicate him.
The bishop thereupon acquiesced in a
proposition TO arbitrae. Upon ihvesti-
cation IL was found that not only did the
lane belong to Don Manuel but that half
the church was upon his property. Chaves
then decided the land to the church, and he
and the noble old archbishop were warm
friends always thereafter.

4 Strange Story,

According to an interview in the
New York World with John Tierney,
q Brooklyn fireman, the latter was
the witness of very strange scene.
He is quoted as saying: II live near
Cypress Hill, at the head of Fulton
street, and a family OF the name of
Dottle lives there, too. Miss Dottle,
ayoung girl OF 10 died. Her father is
Mr.. Dottle, the cellar excavator. She
lay in the coffin two days, in her white
shroud, and flowers all around her.
Her friends came to see her and take
leave Of the remains of q once beauti-
full and esteamed girl, and at length
the moment arrived when she was to
be borne to her last resting place. As
may be supposed, her mother was
most affected; she was frantic with
grief, in fact, and her cries were loud
and bitter. She refused to leave the
coffin, and when they forced her away
she screamed loud enough to awake
the dead. And, as sure as my name
is John Tierney, the girl opened her
eyes. Such a scene as was then wit
messed it is not for me to attempt to
describe. Shesat up in the coffin, they
wrapped blankets around her and re-
moved her to her room, where she
tainted away again. But all was
plain sailing now. They applied re.
storatives, and, to make a long story
short, the GIRL who had been in q
trance, is alive to-day and progressing
rapidly towards convalescence."

What Causes Cancer.

Apropos OF the German crown
princes disease a Washington physi-
clan says: Excessive smoking, as ex-
cessive eating, drinking or any other
dissipation, will promote cancer If
the person is already predisposed to
it. There is no reason to suppose
that smoking will cause cancer.
Many people smoke at frightful rate
and get no cancer. Many never use
tobacco and die with cancer. Wom-
en- have cancer OF the breast and
throat. They arc not caused by
smoking. If a person is predisposed
to cancer it may be broug int out by
any sort of violence against nature.
Late hours, too much eating, too
much drinking, Irregular habits OF
any sort, may develop it. 1t may be
developed by a hard blow. Sullivan

some of them from the best engi.
neers in the country, and some from
cranks of every age and size, I should
judge. The best engineers, however,
say the power can be utilized, and, as
we all know, greater inventions than
that have happened during the past
ten years. Now that the purse has
all been subscribed shall call meet
ing OF the subscribers as soon as the
holiday rush of busin ess is over,
probably the middle OF January, to
organize a permanent association
and determine the specific terms and
conditions on which the offer of said
prize reward shall be published to the
world, and to determine the manner
and time OF payment of the subscrip-
tons. Each subscriber of $50 will
be entitled to one vote at this meet
ing. We have met with considerable
encouragement in trying to boom
this ne enterprise, which, I believe,
will ultimately be tho making of Buff
falo as enc of the leading cities of the
world; but now we are favored with
