CURIOUS HORSE TRADE.
How "A Wlde-Awake Stranger Deceived
Michigan Livery Man.

How "A Wide-Awako Stranger Deceived n
Michigan Livery Man.
Speaking OF horse-trading reminds
me OF a curious trade was mixed up
in a couple Of years ago in Michigan.
was In the livery business and a
stranger brought in a nice-looking
horse which he offered me for mere
song. The price seemed so low that
fell into the trap, but soon discovered
that owned an animal that no spur in
the State could goad into so much as a
trot. traded him off TO doctor who
prided himself on being able TO ride
any horse that could be saddled. /
spread the report that the animal was
a holy terror. and that no man had
ever managed to ride him. The report
reached the doctors ears. as Iexpected
it would, and he soon made bet that he
could ride the horse. The parties to the
wager came round, and. as the doctor
liked the looks OF the brute. soon
persuaded him to trade a very decent
driving horse for it. l warned the
doctor against riding the horse through
the streets, and he said he would try
it on aquiet road. Well, he won the
bet, and the next day asked me II
would trade back IL he gave me 500 to
boot agreed, and he told me had
better send a wagon to his place, for
the alleged bucker could never walk
back. He paid the money over and
took away his horse. When sent for
the animal which had caused all the
sport found had traded for dead
horse, which had the privilege OF
burying. The doctor had felt so sore
about the trade the previous evening
that he had shot the alleged high-spir
tied brute the minute he had succeeded
in dragging tito his own stable. Al

Useful Suggestions, Practical Hints and
Labor-savIng Notes.
When using jet-condenser let the
engine make three or four revolutions
before opening the injection valvo, and
then open it gradually, letting the en-
CINE make several more revolutions
before it is opened TO the full amount
required.
Open the main stop-valve before you
start the fires under the boilers.
When starting fires don't forget TO
close the gauge-coeks and safety-valve
as soon as steam begins to form.
An old Turkish towel cut in two
lengthwise is better than cotton-waste
for cleaning brass work.
Always connect your steam-valves
in such manner that tho valve closes
against the constant steam pressure.
Turpentihe well-mixed with black
varnish makes good coating for iron
smoke-pipes.
Ordinary lubricating oils are not
suitable for use in preventing rust
You can make hole through glass
by covering it with thin coating OF
wax-by warming the glass and
spreading the wax on it, scrape of the
wax where you want the hole, and
drop a little nuoric acid on the spot
with wire. The acid will cut hole
through the glass, and you can shape
the hole with copper wire covered
with oil and rotten-stone.
A mixture of one ounce OF sulphate
of copper, one-quarter OF an ounce Of
alum, half teaspoonful OF powdered
salt one gill of vinegar aud twenty
drops OF nitric acid will make hole in
steel that is too hard to cut or file
easily. Also If applied to steel and
washed off quickly it will give the
metal beautiful frosted appearance.
1t is fact that thirty-fve cubic feet
of sea-water is equal in weight TO
thirty-six feet OF fresh water, the
weight being one ton (2.240 pounds).
Remember that coal loses from ten
to forty per centum of its evaporative
power if exposed TO the influence OF
sunshine and rain. Safety Valve.

How "TIppecanos Harrison Was
Saved.

Tho battle Of TippscAnoe was fought No
vember 9Th, 1911, In Indiana, on the banks
OF Tippecanoe River, on the ate OF the pres
emit village OF Battle Ground, between the
Americans under General Harrison, and
the Indians under the Prophet, Tecumsens
brother.
After tho famous battle until the end Of
his days General Harrison, grandfather OF
President Benjamin Harrison, was known
by the loving sobriquet Of "Tippecanoe."
Following his brilliant achievements In
arms, now more than three quarters OF
century ago, General Harrison, together
with many OF his troops, was stricken
with disease contracted through lack OF
proper food, and exposure 10 the miasma OF
that section OF Indiana, and for time his
life was dcspaired OF. Several OF his com.
mand lay for weeks suffering tho horrors OF
disease upon the banks Of the Tippecanoe
river, which rises in a lake OF the same
nane In the northern part OF the State,
flows southwest 900 miles and empties into
the Wabash nine miles above Lafayette.
General Harrison's troops were threatened
with defamation, and tho skill OF the army
surgeons was employed in vain 10 combat q
moro terrible and deadly enemy than even
the hostile aborigines under Tecumseh's
brother.
But relief came at last.
General Harrison very sensibly conclud-
ed that residents OF tho neighborhood-nay
the Indians themselves - knew natures
/ specific for the disease which had prostrat
ed him and many OF his command, and In.
stantly set on foot inquiries with y view 70
ascertaining and applying tho remedies.
They were speedily found and put TO test
| and worked like charm. Under their use
4 the stricken soldiers were promptly re-
stored 10 tl-.l wonted good health and
| yigor.
The medicines were preparations OK sim,
Pile roots and herbs, based upon very old
fashioned but effective and natural forInu-
lac. Their intrinsic merits have been
known and utilized for generations among
people living IN remote and malarial sec.
tons of the country.
Many OF these Invaluable formulate have
within the last two years come into posses

~ 0Wln0ltnE Device OF 0ront ingenuity ~
Boldness.
A new device OF the thieves. and one
Of great ingenuity and boldness. is re-
ported from London. A well-dressed
man made q considerable purchase OF
small articles OF value In store. When
the parcel was made up he said he
would pay for It. and take It with him.
instead OF having 1t sent; then suddenly
seized It. and dashed out of the build
ing at the top OF his speed. closely pur-
sued, OF course. A few yards from the
door he ran into the arms OF a police
man. who brought him back. and said
he would carry him TO the station house,
where the shopman was TO follow and
make the charge. Neither policeman
nor prisoner was ever heard OF again.
The policeman was a confederate. This
was perhaps outdone In Paris short
time ago. An Italian boy with violin
comes In TO buy those preparations OF
pork dear to the French stomach,
known as ''charcuterie." He has not
enough money TO pay for them, but his
mother is In great haste for them, and
he will leave his violin in pledge until
he brings back the balance. A we'll
dressed man arrives shortly afterwards,
sees the violin while he is making some
purchases, examines It is overcome by
its age and beauty, and proposes TO buy
1t, and makes a large offer for 1t The
charcutier can not sell 1t because 1t be-
longs TO the Italian boy. The gentle
man thereupon leaves bid for It II de-
liyered to him, Lord -. at the Grand
Hotel The chdrcutier, much excited,
buys the violin from the boy. when he
returns, for half the offer. and starts

CHAPTER XXI.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Impenetrable gloom surrounded the per
son who uttered these words, save for the
small circle of light made by strong
smelling tallow dip, that sputtered and
threatened to go out at any moment.
Weird shadows danced along the rafters
and played hide and seek among queer
little hooks. A young man knelt on the
rough boards Of the garrett at Lone Hollow,
with an old, battered, hair-covered trunk
open before him. That which brought from
his lips the words opening this chapter he
held up to the light in his banda folded
legal document, yellow with age, tied with
red tape.
The young man who held up the folded
paper read on one side these words:

was dimly lighted by bracket-lamps, the

nize him as the genial hunter, Louis Fin

for him in several days, but judge that TO

have taken the alarm. He was out until
late last night, and seemed pale and agi-
tated when he returned"
The reader can readily guess why the
Captain was agitated on the previous night.
The apparition at the pool had completely
unnerved him for time. On the morning
following he had driven away toward
Stoncfield, assuring both Lura and Lucy
that he intended to be absent several days.
