CAUSED A COMMOTION.
A Blind Horse Runs Away and Goes
Through a Window.

Through a Window.
A blind horse created a communion
on Second avenue this morning by
running away. and after figuring in
several lucky escapes of people who
came in contact with him, dashed
bodily through the east window of
the Bijou cigar store in Harper's the
atre building and brought up in a
heap on the floor.
The animal belongs to Max Tax
man, a peddler living on Fourth
avenue between Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets. This morning short
ly after 10 O'Clock Mr.. Taxman ac-
companied by his son, David. 16 years
of age, was driving down Second ave-
nue. in peddler's wagon. AT Eigh-
teenth street the horse took fright
ut something and became uncontroll
able. Both TaNman and his son at
tempted to handle the reins, but the
oorse, blind as he was. became more
unmanageable at every step, and by
the time Seventeenth street was
reached he was getting along at fire
department gait, though pursuing a
sort of Zig-zag course.
AChriiling Escape.
Coming up Second avenue in a
surrey was Mrs. W. j. Kahlke and
her three children. They were right
in the way which the runaway horse
was going. but as they turned from
the course, quickly the blind horse
turned too and for an instant col
lision seemed inevitable. But the
tram rail of the east bound street
car track caught the front wheel of
the peddler's wagon and swung it
around. The hind wheel struck the
hub of Mrs. Kahlke's buggy, but not
with sufficient force to do any dam
swinging around. however. the reach
and the rear wheels and box
came down with crash with Tax
man on top of it. The boy hung on
to the reins and front wheels.
Through Big Window.
The horse continued his mad dash
to Sixteenth street and made direct
for the window facing east of the BIZ
jou cigar and news depot under Har-
per's theatre. and went through it
like flash. the wheels and boy being
left outside. There was a crash of
broken glass and the horse fell on the
floor just inside the big window.

who has charge of the store. and
while they saw the horse coming they
did not realize that he was going
through the window until he
was upon them. Then they all
hustled into n closet under the stair
way and gave the unwelcome intrud
er undisputed possession of the store.
A crowd soon congregated and the
horse was extracted from his position.
He was found to be cut about the nose
and hip, but was otherwise uniniur-
ed. The wagon was damaged con-
siderably while 80 won't more than

The horse narrowly escaped collid-
ing with a motor car and Il number
of other convevances in his mad run.

A Difficult Division.

A farmer before departing this
world made his will. He had in his
possession eighteen horses, but before
the will was proved one of the horses
died, which left only seventeen to be
divided. His eldest son was to get
one-half Of the horses, his second son
onc-third, and his Youngest son one-
ninth. These portions were easily
enough separated when there were
eighteen horses to divide, but how to
allot seventeen horses in three parts
was puzzle. They scratched long
at their heads but could find no way
out of the difficulty. At last they
called in the assistance Of the local
schoolmaster, who gave them a solU
tiOn to the problem.
"YOu have seventeen horses to dis.
pose of. Well, seeing you're friends of
mine, will give you the loan Of my
old mare Bess,' which will make
eighteen. To you, Bob, 1 will give
nine horses, which is more than the
half of seventeen; and to you Jim, ]
will give six, which Is more than one
third of seventeen; and to you, Tom,
/ will give two, which is fully one.
ninth of seventeen. And now. having
given you all your shares, / will take
back my old mare which is left"
And having thus settled the mat
ter to his own satisfaction, the
schoolmaster mounted his mare and
rode Of.

1t does not seem improbable in the
course Of events that the earth and
the moon may become more intimate
scientists held the theory That the
moon was a dead planet, without at
mosphere, and, consequently, unin-
habited. This theory has recently
been entirely controverted. The
work begun by Prof. Holden, at the
Lick Observatory upon Mount Ham,
iltOn, has teen steadily continued,
and the photographs taken by him
and his assistants have revealed GER
tain facts hitherto unknown. Pho

NIT of one of the highest mountains

tenable. IL is claimed by Prof.
Holden that by continuous series Of
photographs he IS able to detect any
changes upon the surface of the moon,
and that building fifty feet in
height would cast an appreciable
shadow. II the moon Is Inhabited,
the fact will certainly be discovered
sooner or later, but the question OF

In conclusion, the pertinent question

these phenomena which We ought to

the conditions and phenomena are ma

in ignorance of these factors of our
