Horse Blankets whichare strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying they are ''just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to know
1nordcr that you cantella strong
blanket from a weak one, the manu-:
facturer of "a Horse Blankets
sews the above "a Trade Mark
inside Of each blanket. This is a
guarantee that it is the strongest
blanket made for the money and
will wear we'll.
Many poor limitations have been
sold as "a blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the
81 Trade Mark is sewed inside.

LIFE IN LIBBY.

From the story of the celebrated escape
from Libby IN the March Century we
quote the following: "At night the six
large lofts presented strange war pictures
over which single tallow candle wcpt
copious and greasy tears that ran down
over the petrified loaf of corn-bread,
Borden's condensed milk can, or bottle
in which 1t was set. and where it strug-
gled on until taps when the guards,
with unconscious irony, shouted 'Lights!'
at which signal it usually disappeared
amid shower of boots and such other
missiles as were at hand. The sleepers
covered the six floors, lying in ranks
head to head and foot to foot, like pros
trate lines of battle. For the general
good, and to preserve something like
military precision, these ranks especial
ly when cold weather compelled them to
lie close for better warmth) were subdi-
vided into convenient squads under
charge of a Captain who was invested
with authority to see that every man lay
spoon fashen.'
"No consideration of personal conven-
fence was permitted to interfere with the
general comfort of the squad Thus.
when the hard floor could no longer be
endured on the right side,-especially by
the thin men,-the captain gave the COM
mand, Attention, Squad Number Fourp
Prepare to spoonl One-two-spoonp
And the whole squad Topped over on the
left side.

And is Narrowly Rescued From n
watcry Grnvc-A Failing Blind,
Due to Age, the Only Explana-

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday fore
noon, persons who were in the vicinity
of Twelfth street on Water, were sur
prised to see a venerable-looking old
woman walk as fast us her feebleness
would permit down Twelfth street and
down the wharf to the waters edge,
where she, without n moments hesita.
ton, sprang in. The act caused mucl;
excitement. So rapid had been the old
lady's movements that she was in the
icy river before any Of those watching
her suspected her purpose. A member
OF the crew OF one OF the boats lying al
the wharf, named Dan Mcknight, saw
the old lady go into the water and he
at once jumped after her, and succeeded
in pulling her out. She was taken to q
residence near on Water street and hel
clothing changed and everything done
that could be to fortify her against in
furious results of her cold bath.
Inquiry showed that her name was
Klevison, and that she was well.to.dc
woman, and over seventy years OF age
She lives with her daughter on Charles
street, in Buena Vista. near the east end
OF Eleventh street. After she was rested
and her clothing dried, she was taken &c
her home. Hes daughter was much dis
tressed md alarmed by her action, and
said that Mrs. Klevison's mind had
failed seriously, and she was not in 4
condition to be left unmatched. She
has been showing signs OF alteration Of
mind for some time past, but her malady
never took n dangerous turn until yes
terday. Precautions were taken to pre-
vent the recurrence OF M opportunity
TO seek to take her life.
