Color. speed and Bottom.

An interesting discussionis going on
horse. Kentucky turfmen disagree
like doctors as to the effect color has
on speed and bottom, but a preponder-
ance of opinion seems to be in favor of
dark bay, with chestnut as q strong
second choice. The Arabs have curi-
Gus theories on this subject, some Of
which appear in the following anec-
dote, taken from a recently published
French book: Ben Dyar, a renowned
chief of the desert, happening to be
pursued one day by Saad-el-Zenaty,
turned to his son and asked, what

us make for stony ground and we shall
have nothing to fear. They are the
negroes of the Soudan, who can not
walk with bare feet upon the flints.'
He changed his course, and the black
horses were speedily distanced. A
third time Ben Dyar asked, "And now
what horses are in front of the enemyp'
ozark chestnuts and dark bays" '.In

He wouldn't Exchange Positions.

Col. Visscher was in Kentucky when
the famous whisky ring gained Celeb
rity and its members long terms in
the pe%nitentiary. Col. Visscher knew
all of them intimately, but no one was
more surprised than he was when the
ring was ''busted." He a Y now that
he once received a vaguely expressed
offer to participate in something that
was not explained to him, but he re-
fused, preferring newspaper work.
This vague offer he subsequently I'M
derstood when the ringleader who
rendered it was wearing striped clothes
in the ~penitentiary.
II knew Col. - WE'LL" says Col.
Visscher, ''and visited the penitentiary
in which he was confined. Col. -
was always ready for a joke, and when
he asked mc how l was getting along l
replied:
"'Well, Col. -, I'm not rich. I

worth a greal deal, too.m
Col. Visscher reflected a moment,
and with a twinkle in his eye replied:
"Col. 49, you say you are worth
$500, 900. l have only IS cents, but I
would not trade my pile for yours and
trade clothes"
The whisky king looked at his con
vict garb and was good humored
enough to laugh heartily yer the sally.

Making Her First Deposit.

There are many women who acquire
business habits and methods quite
readily, and conform to mercantile
rules as naturally as do their brothers
aud husbands. Again, there are ladies
who are hopclessly puzzled by the
simplest business forms; but there arc
not many, let us hope, who make such
Il spectacle of their incapacity as did
the woman who went to q savings
bank to make what was evidently her
first deposit.
Going to the teller's window, she
laid down the crumpled mass of bills
she had been carrying in her hand all
the way down down and said: 81 want
to put this in tho bank"
The teller took the money, counted
it, wrote the amount on Il small slip
of paper, and handed it to the lady.

A Girl With a Latch.Key.

If yon have never had the pleasure
Of watching a woman open her front
door by means Of Il latch-key, it is
worth dawdling away the fifteen min
utes she requires for the operation to
be amused at the thorough feh,ininity
of her actions. The other evening
shortly after dusk Il bright-faced,
quick-stepping girl. buttoned up in an
English walking-iacket, swinging ~
long-handled parasol, and carrying
half Il dozen small parcels, passed
briskly by on Camp street to run up a
flight of stone steps and open siege on
the front entrance with the skeleton
instrument concealed somewhere about
her person.
First she shifted the responsibility of
purse, packages, umbrella, and hand
kerchief on one hand, while she used
the other to feel in both coat pockets
for the key. They failed TO produce
it, and by that time one bundle ana

Milking Whales for Consumptives.

In London recently my attention
was attracted by a huge sign on the
opposite side of the street, and by the
number Of people locking into the
building. The sign read as follows:
"Whaloid 1nfallible Cure for Consump-
ton. Dispensing hours, 8 to 10 a. m.
3 to 5 p. M"
Entering the building l was at a loss
what to make of the matter, as all l
could see was the crowd and q large
tank in the center of the room. This
tank was some seventy feet long,
thirty feet wide, and, as l learned al
forward, about thirty feet deep, having
been constructed at a great expense.
While waiting patiently for develop
mcnls, l found that the liquid was be-
ing lowered or let out by some means.
Soon a smooth black surface appeared
to view, and as the water continued to
rccede | became aware that a captive
whale was on exhibition. Surprised
at not having to pay any admission
fee, l was soon made aware of the rea-
son. A frame work had been con-
structcd, on which the animal rested,
and soon an expert milkman was n
gagged in extracting for the consump-
tives whaloid Cor whales milky, which
was greedily absorbed at five shillings
per glass. This plan seems to be iden-
teal with that of the milkmen of Ma
plies, who lead a COW to the door and
deliver the fluid in the presence of the
consumer, 50 that the latter can be
satisfied that no illegal. dilution is in
dulged in. l hardly recovered from
my surprise at this unique idea of get
ting natures own emulsions when I
was to encounter a severer shock.
Joining the throng who were leaving
found myself drifting further down
the street toward Southampton Row.

A. kEFFlIli

Judge Plowman OF Lawrence county
has rendered a decision IN the liquor
cases that have been pending in that
county for some time, that were he the
highest tribunal IN the land would knock
prohibition into a cooked hat. The fol-
lowing is from the Pioneer.
The cases before the court were those
Of the state against Barney Franklin,
Thomas Harker, and Jacob Smith,
charged with a violation Of the prohl-
bition amendment. The defense was
conducted by Joe Moore, OF Lead, aud
he deserves great credit for his efforts in
the case. A synopsis OF the opinion is
as follows:
nation charging the defendants with
keeping for sale Intoxicating beverages,
on three grounds, only one OF which was
argued in the arguement, namely, that
Of violating section 81 OF article Ill Of
the state constitution, to-wit: "No law
shall embrace more than one subject,
which shall be expressed in its title"
The prohibition article OF the const!tu-
ton seems to limit the power OF the leg
islature to prohibiting the manufacture
for sale and the keeping for sale OF such
liquors as a beverage. i.
: The article does not prohibit the man
ufacture for any purpose except thatof
sale and does noJ prohibit the keeping
OF Intoxicating liquors for any other
purpose than that OF sale as u beverage.
1t would be lawful to keep liquor for
sale for medical, sacramento, scientific,
mechanical or any other purpose than
that OF sale as a beverage without any
further legislation
What Is an unlawful manufacture, sale
or keeping for sale? The only law max
ing traffic in such liquors lawful, is arti-
Gle t%wenty-four OF the constitution which
limits the unlawful acts to manufactur-
ing for sale as a beverage. No other
traffic or use is made unlawful prior to
the passage OF the act. But this clause
of the title does not contain the phrase
ssas a beverage" and reference to the
constitution is again necessary to ascer-
tain what is unlawful manufacture, sale
etc.
The subject OF. the regulation OF the
rule for medical and other purposes may
perhaps be sufficiently explicit is the title
to stand, but the regulations are SO in
interviewer with other provisions that
their court is unable to separate them,
and as the matter is OF SO much impor'
tance, both to the people and to the
officers charged with the enforcement o.
the law, it is proper, if the case shall &c
there. that a higher and ADLER court
shall settle the question. Fol the
reason given the demurrsrs in all the
eases are sustained.

Sundays Storm.

The most severe hail storm OF the sea-
son was experienced last Sunday. The
storm gathered between three and four
o'clock apparently aboutdue north of the
city. The first damage we have heard OF
was on Box Elder, where the wheat of
Geo. w. Ryan and the entire crop of
Henry Cordes WAS destroyed. We have
not learned OF any damage'of moment to
other settlers on that creek. The storm
struck the eastern portion OF Rapid City
where the greatest damage to window
glass occurred, although stray hail
stones of great size broke out a number
of windows in the business portiono OF the
city. Scarcely a pane was left in the
school OF mines and gas works.
The storm followed the creek down
some eighteen miles to the Hammerquest
school house. moving down everything
in it's path. From here 1T passed over
onto Spring creek, and apparently COW
ering the ground from Gramburg's ranch
to the river. Henry Behrens shows the
force OF the storm in IL severe cut on his
forhead received from a stray stone after
he supposed the storm had passed. He
considers his wheat crop completely
destroyed. 1t is reported that on lower
Spring creek several horses were SO in.
jnred by the hail that they had to be
Killed. We doubt if the Hills ever ex.
perienced a storm which covered SO much
territory.
The loss to wheat which was headed,
will, no doubt, be nearly total. Late
wheat and oats together with corn, il
we have plenty OF ram, will no doubt, re
cover in a measure from the storm and
make a partial crop. But a small por
ton OF the crop destroyed was covered
by insurance. That insured was almost
entirely in the Alliance company, whose
headquarters was beseiged all day Mon
day by neryous ones anxious to insure
and the unfortunate ones who called to
file statements oflosses. The claims run
from 3-5 to total failure.
