suit her. The reverend gentleman
filed the blank out in the usual form,
and she went away seemingly salts

A few days later she again appeared
at the door. Mister" said the wo,
man, in an aggrieved tone, Il looked
through the papers and can't find

For the Horses Comfort.

Several inventions have been made
recently for the comfort of the horse,
A Missouri man has taken out pat
ent on an awning which covers IA
horse from head to tail. This awning
is sustained while up by poles attached
to the thills. 1t can be folded up and
let down so as to be disposed of snugly
inst in front of the dashboard. An
other new contrivance is an automatic
arrangement which lets the blanket
fall comfortably upon his back while
standing, and keeps it out OF the DIRT
when he lies down. And still thiro
invention of the past year is clocS
attachment to the feed box, by which
the mess of grain drops down to the
horse at the precise minute the owner
NAV choose to set it.-True Flag.

minneapolis and brought his wife and
daughter, or somebody else's wife or
daughter, and all were hurrying with
all their nights and mains to get away
from the depot before they got arrest
ca. And this impression would not be
lessened by the rush and scuffie be-

men and draymen and hotel and
boarding house drummers, as the lat

and yell and scramble to get baggage
and passengers into their various con.
veyances, and the former lodging and
showing and rushing and Juggling and
pulling at goods and grips and other
luggage; dogs, canary birds and ba
bies.
But then your attention is drawn
from all these before they are out o.

and hurrying the other way, just as i
everybody was running away from
Minneapolis and going to other part
unknown, taking with them ali tn,
