A Clever Horse.

This story shows the intelligence OF
Kentucky roam, which was left in an open
paddock fastened by means Of a wooden
hasp. This he learned in q few days to
take out with his teeth and drop ON the
ground, only to have it carefully replaced
by the stable boy, who displayed wonder
full intuition about discovering it. Finally,
when it became plain to his horseish I'M
Outstanding that there was nothing to be
gained by such performance, he tried the
experiment of carrying itover to the far
tber side of the fence and letting 1t fall
into neighboring yard.
Now it SO happened that his owner
caught him in the act and relentlessly went
and Fastened him in again; then from q
distance he watched to see what would
come next. As he had expected, the horse
diligently lQosened the stick again, but
now comes the queer part of it-instead OF
putting it in any of the old places he gave
one defiant snort and laboriously set to
work to eat it up. II his object was the
total humiliation Of the hasp there is NC
doubt he accomplished it fully. All Of
which goes to prove what splendid disre,
gard Of splinters and little ingenuity will
accomplisb.-Chicago News.

Miss Ethel. daughter Of D. w. Pease,
Of West Carrollton. is the possessor OF
Maltese cat. EARLY in the spring the cat
deserted his place in the house and took
up his abode with the chickens, remain
ing day and night in the chicken yard.
He soon formed an attachment for an
old black hen, which was reciprocated,
and the two became inseparable. Thus
matters went on for some time. when
the hen, remembering that the usual
season for multiplying and replenishing
her species had arrived. selected q nest
in the poultry house and made known
her intentions in the usual way. She
was at once supplied with the necessary
eggs and commenced business. This, 1t
was supposed, would end the rather
strange Irritation and Tommy would re-

The Georgia fruit crop is big thing
this year, and everybody is interested in
knowing what the growers will make
out of it. In the peach and grape crops
alone conservative estimates show that
about 500 carloads Of peaches and 100
carloads of grapes will leave the state
for foreign markets during the present
season. The estimated receipts for the
peach and grape crops combined are
$3.50, 900.
Reports show that the peaches are
we'll formed, of good size and perfectly
sound. and this. together with the de-
crease in yield from last year, makes
good prices and ready sales an assured
fact. Other important fruit crops will
largely swell the total sales. and lots Of

A number of cattle were landed at

The animals seeming quiet, Groucher
started to drive them without any
ropes. On reaching Conway street a
heifer, which had been moving along
very placidly, became very much ami
mated. and made things very interest
ing for the balance of the herd. The
street being too wide for her she danced
up an alley between 1870 and 1Sl Con-

but only momentarily. Through it she
went, and then another obstacle pre-
sented itself. Mrs. Emma A. Poole, who
proved to be no more Of q stop to the

where the well known quadruped-in-a

hallway was then taken in, and lamp
was knocked down. The heifer wanted
