PEN POINTS
AZ DOTTED BY THE VERSATILE
CRITIC.

A nercifnl man is merciful to his beast.
1t is shame the way some people abuse
their horses You no doubt have observed
the bad condition of sor,e work horses
in our town and county, and yet the owners
thereof persist in getting the last drop OF
blood from the poor staggering animals.
Shylock demanded the pound of flesh,
but the Shylocks in horse flesh, not only de.
mand, but absolutely force the poor horses
to yield up all their strength, regardless of
their sufferings. You have seen horses
worked in Marietta with stiff legs that had
been broken; you have seen horses worked
whose weak frames could hardly stand up,
caused by the lack of ample food you have
seen blind horses and sore backed horses,
all piled with the lash to make them pull
big loads and move faster. Shame upon
such men for such treatment of dumb and
helpless brutes. Then you have seen we'll.
fed horses overloaded and yet dashed and
made tn exert themselves beyond their
strength. Marietta needs society for the
prevention OF cruelty to animals, who
should prosecute these unfeeling hard
task-masters.

WHERE ignorance is bliss, tbs folly 10

ignorance-that is wise in their own rs
TEEN, but blockheads to men ofintelligence.
Of course you have had a passage Of words
on subjects, politics, finance, farming, so-
cial customs, etc., with people who pre-
tended much knowledge, but lacked not
only information but had fastened in their
mind certain lone ideas" that you could
not make truth disarm them Of Well,
it is provoking sometimes, but you must
remember that it is easier to convince
statesman than blockhead. A blockhead
won't be convinced against his will, but a
statesman's mind is always open to con-
viction. Stubbornness and obstinacy of

The Game of Chess.

The origin and history of the game Ok
chess is involved in much obscurity. Some
authors say that it was invented during
the siege of Troy TO relieve the tediousness
thus imposed upon the Greclan chiefs.
Others refer the invention to the Egyp-
tians and cite a sculpture or the time OF
the building of the Pyramids, where hon
and a unicorn are depicted as being deep
in the mysteries of the game. The Chinese
claim the game as one of their inventions,
and SO do several other countries and ma
tions, among them the Ceylonese. They
say that while Ravan, king of Ceylon,
was undergoing siege, Seffa, Hindoo
mathematician, invented the game for the
amusement of his royal master, who was
thus enabled to mimic the movements of
his enemies on the tiny battlefield before
him.
Although we can find no definite trace of
the game in England prior to its introduce
tion by the French in the Eleventh CEN
fury, it is known TO have been the court
game ali over continental Europe at least
500 years before. Alphonso, king of Cas-
tile, and Pope Innocent III, both wrote
works on the game, and the second book
printed in the English language was The
Game and Playe of the Cheese" Sac
chciri, Jesuit of Turin, called the Chess
Bishop" could play with three different
opponents without seeing one of the
boards, and talk with the company during
the time Of the play.-St. Louis Republic

Why He Rose RAPIDLY.

At an entertainDent in Dublin thought
reader boosted that he could find a marked
pin hid by one of the audience. Several OF
them came forward, among whom was Il
confederate. The pin was hidden by a
Trinity student in an adjoining room, in
the presence of the committee, among
whom was the confederate. The student.
suspecting the man from his looks. slyly
took away the pin from its hiding place.
On the return to the platform the thought
reader gazed into the hider's face, and,
putting his hand to his brow, was blind
folded, and led the student to the hiding
place, but of course could find no pin. He
returned. acknowledging his defeat and
looking daggers at his confederate.
Now, gentlemen, said the student, iii
undertake to say that if this 'diviner OF
human mind will do as tell him, half the
audience, without a single hint from me,
will know where the pin is" And turning
to the thought reader he said, 'Sit down. "
He did so. There was yell, and jumping
up the thought reader hastily pulled from
his coattails the marked pin.-London Tit
