Apples Better Than Whins.


One evening the driver of q Third
avenue street car, bound uptown with
heavy load of passengers, stopped his
horses just before reaching Grand
street, hitched the lines tight, and ran
over to fruit stand on the curb and
bought a couple of rosy applea Re-
turning to his horses he gave each of
them an apple, which tho animals
munched with great apparent relish.
Then jumping on the platform he shook
tho lines loose, and the horses started
OF in way that made the standing
passengers grip the straps convulsively.
To passenger on the front platform
tho driver said that as q matter of fact
and not sentiment one apple was worth
more than all tho whips in New York
in getting satisfactory work from the
horses. Il never use a whip on any
horse, he said Il drive six horses
q day and give each one an apple, and
they seem to look forward to the treat
The scheme cures balky and obstinate
horses, and livens up lazy or tired
horses wonderfully" And the way the
horses covered the ground and did their
work generally seemed to bear out this
theory. They made up for the time
lost BY the stop in less than three
blocks, and kept on uptown like
fresh team-N. Y. Sun.

narr,sor In Denver,

Tho reception and entertainment OF
the President in Denver on Tuesday
last was an event that certainly will
long be remembered by each individual
member of his party. Whom the Queen
City Of the West undertakes to show her
hospitality to any visitors she leaves
nothing undone, but on the occasion Of
last Tuesday, it was the Nations ruler
and she spread herself. Everything
passed Of according to the program laid
out without slip and every moment Of
the time was filled with some entertain
tanning feature. II actions and looks
are any criterion to so by, from an OBJ
servers standpoint the entire party left
Colorado's Capital City more than pleased
with the day experience. Those upon
whom the duty of executing the program
laid out, many of the brightest and veal
thiest men in the State, irrespective OF
party, saw the Presidential train pull out
at the appointed hour, in the knowledge
that their illustrious guest Of the day
was a statesman broad enough to stand
upon his conviction in what he deems a
duty to the common interests OF the people
of our great Nation. Mr.. Harrison stated
during the day in conversation that he
would sign bill for the free coinage Of
the American product Of silver.
