How She Bought . Horse.

From the Detroit Free Press.
She was an independent sort Of a girl, re-
Gently in possession Of quite q fortune, and she
concluded a horse was a necessity in her new
establishment, 30 she sent for dealer and had
a talk with him. What she didn't know about
horses would fill a livery stable, but she tried
to make the dealer believe she was Judge and
told him to bring her something to look at.
The dealer came and she went out to pass iudp-
ment. She walked all around the animal criti-
cally, as professionals do.
lis he we'll trained?" she inquired with the
air OF Jockey.
Certainly. miss" replied the dealer, "She
is well gated and fine in harness"
"Um-um:" said the girl "Is abe all right
in the botts?"
"Yes, miss, gaspee the dealer, shut you see
I've only got shoes on her fore feet
He said that because. really, he didn't know
what else to say.
The girl laughed merrily,
II noticed that, but You couldn't very we'll

dealer, with great seuse of relief.

"There's NO danger of her withers being

i've seen horses like that, and they always make
me nervous"
'No danger in the world, miss. ~ the dealer

COlIision This Morning on tie Y. and +.
Eoad in Southeast Washington.

At GAO O'Clock this morning collision took
place on between LIST and I'd streets southeast

Capt. Miles was the conductor and Jacob Fry
the engineer, was on .he way in when in con-
sequence of the misplaced switch it dashed of
the main ,Tack and struck shifting engine No

Supposed to be the Same ShOplifters.
Two women, professional shoplifters, appeared
here last week. secured two valuable sealskin
sacques from a store On It'll street and left.
They are undoubtedly the same women who
were here two years ago, as the police have
an accurate description Of them. They
made their appearance first in one store, but
were detected and sent out OF the establish
ment. Thinking they would go elsewhere
the proprietor of that store sent word to
neighboring stores, but the words OF warning
were soon forgotten and the shoplifters. with
their male accomplish paid an early visit to
another store. So far as is known they made
no purchases and it was not until evening that
the sacqucs were missed
Private Detective McDevitt was called in and
the police we're also notified, but the women
had too much start On the officers and thus far
they have escaped arrest

RUTGERS ALMOST WON,
The College Boys Give the Columbia Eleven
Hard cattle.

Beef and muscle we're the factors which made
:he Columbia Athletic Club able 10 fight the
Rutgers College foot ball team to n tie score
Yesterday. Ia all other respects the Rutgers
team played TIE superior game, but the lack of
weight as compared with their opponents made
it impossible for them to score more than
once. The c. A. e. BOYS we're weak
ened by the inability of some Of their
players TO be present, but that fact
was 40 excuse for the listless manner in which
the majority Of the eleven played. All the dash
and spirit which was apparent in the A. C. S. N.
game was wanting. and with the exception of
Weaver, Church and Wells the line and Bur-
roughs. Seton and Shields back of it, the re-
mainder of the team PLAYED like a lot of school
boys. lime after time yesterday they would
take the ball almost to the goal line. there to
lose 1t by "A tumble. n misunderstanding of the
signals or loose and hfeless work. 1t would
seem as though the most necessary article for
the success of the &. y &. is a man with fog
horn voice ard a good old backsnake lash to
put some life into the play. Weaver and
Church did hard work, and aided materially in
checking the advance of the college boys, while
Seton and Shields made good gains. Seton
particularly did excellent work, and has
runs with good Judgment, uses his interference
TO advantage and is a fast runner. Shields
line work was brilliant at times
The managers of the contesting eievens were
the referee and umpire, Mr.. MaIvin and Sam
Ming acting respectively in these positions.
When the game began the ball quickly
worked toward the Rutgers goal. and during
the entire half of thirty minutes the ball did
not get further away from that goal line than
thirty yards. Back and forth it went on four
downs and fumbles. Though c. A. c. had
several good chances thev failed to score. The
brilliant PLAYING of Gabe Ludlow called forth
considerable applause. The first half came to
an end without either side scoring.
When time called for the second half it
was quite dark. and before many minutes had
been played Ii became impossible to distinguish
the men Suddenly from one Of the scrim-
IMAGES near the center of the field Gabe Ludlow
was seen to dart, and Guiding his pursuers made
a long run and scored a touchdown. Mcknight
kicked goal
his scoring the first thing that hap
pered 10 take the sand out OF the eyes of the c.
A C. men and awakened them. When they
started from center they went in for blood, and
by hard, vigorous PUSHES they never released
the ball until Seton by clever run scored
touchdown and Shields kicked a goal, tying the
score. During the remainder Of the half c. A.
{. tried hard to score, but Rutgers held them
back until time was called on account of dark
ness. George Ludlow and Wills were injured
during the game, their places being taken by

Cat and Hawk Flight.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat,
Talk about your cat and dog stories," said
Zeke Smith, as he slowly wabbled his cigar
stump from the right to the left corner, 81 can
give you strai!gh pods about a fight once saw
between car ani IA chicken hawk. 1t was some
time ago, and before was reduced to drum
ming, but was all there, and swinging rs
pretty scythe blade as ever flashed in q summer
sun. 1t was small meadow was at work in.
about five acres, | reckon, and the timothy that
morning stood up and bowed gracefully to the
gentle breeze which played across the valley.
IN something of poet myself. and couldn't
help thinking that Maud Muller and the Judge
might have had that little passage right there
But along toward noon. while was laying a
beautiful swath somewhere about the middle Of
Il field, there came o sudden swish in the air
close to my face. quick glance showed me a
big chicken hawk on IA swoop for q black and
white cat that had been lying low in the tall
grass for rabbits, and was now in a series Of up
and down jumps making for the fence The
hawk evidently had taken the cat for q rabbit
and he was obliged to have his meat. He
missed his first pass, but after circle or
two in the air bounced down again, and re-
NAMED 80 long in the grass l was puzzled
to think what had taken place, and ran to
sec. When within about twenty feet saw tn Q
hawk had fastened on the cat, but not by the
back-bless you, no.-by the belly! The cot,
you know, Is quicker than lightning in its move
ments, and the very instant he was struck
must have turned on his back for fight. The
hawk was a big fellow, but he had great diffi-
Guilty in rising with the cat. He beat the grass
with his wings half minute before he got
under way. 1stood still to see the fun. As the
big bird began to circle around noticed there
was some embarrassment in the case, and the
cat was getting in some very lively work with
his claws The feathers began to fy and there
was quite cloud Of them in the air. The
hawk, altogether surprised by the nature of his
quarry. flew round and round just over the
field. but at last concluded ne didn't want that
kind of rabbit. and dropped it. The cat came
down with dull thud, bat managed to get
away before l could reach it. The chicken
hawk took to the woods without DELAY, and
suppose, from the top of some dead tree in the
clearing sadly contemplated his denuded con-
dition and speculated upon the nature Of the
new kind OF rabbits with such short ears, long
tails and sharp claws"
