y gentleman living near here tells me
beautiful story of his horse. 4 few
days since, rs he was leaving his resi-
lence. n horse that he owned galloped
mp and caught his arm and made an at
tempt to pull him in a special direction.
Trying this for while he galloped Oft
quickly toward pasture quarter of a
mile away. Then he came back again,
calling urgently and evidently desiring
something very much. The man fol-
lowed him. and when he had reached
the pasture found the mate of the horse
entanglcd in broken bridge. When
the animal was liberated the one who
had called the gentleman came up to-
him and gently rubbed him with his
head and looked his love.
Gentlcncss and gratitude and careful
ness for others is characteristic of the
higher animals. and occasionally Of the
birds and fowls. Indeed. believe that
the animals frequently deserve the
cpithct gentleman or gentlewoman more
than human folk do. Mary t. Spencer

About 200 women and girls are now

which she cooks is an ordinary open

other utensils are all of the simplest de-
