The ceremony was performed In
regular style. A temporary altar was
formed by table. the minister stood
waiting as the bridal party entered
the room, the bride leaning on the arm
of her pretended father, and tho
bridesmaids following. Then came six
ushers in male attire. The groom and
his best man met them At the altar

In tho Right Place.
A Chicago attorney, somewhat noted
for his sharp practice, sent his client
one day to watch the case. Word came
to him that his case was next on the
docket, and he hurried over to find the
opposing counsel already beginning.
In vain he looked for his client. He
was nowhere to be seen. In vain he
asked for delay; but the court told him
that the carelessness of client would
not allow such thing. At last he
glanced into the jury box and saw his
client there. The stupid man had
thought he heard his name called and
had marched in with the rest. The
opposing counsel was so anxious to
hurry the case along that he neglected
to examine the jury. Seeing the thing
was in his own hands, the Chicago at
torney turned to the court. 81 with

The Cats OF the Horse.

Speaking Of gaits," said a cattle
man, 'did you know that in its ma
tive state the horse has but two gaits
the walk and gallop9 All others,
such as the trot, pace, canter, fox
trot, rack and single foot, are ac-
quired and artificial. True, a colt
will be born that may pace on the
day of its birth, but you will find
that some of its ancestors had been
taught to pace.
II have chased and captured horses
in their native wilds and know
this from observation. | never saw
a wild horse trot. A queer diff
ference between wild horses and do
mestic is exhibited in breaking them.
Now, wild horse tries to dismount
his rider by pitching and buclking,
and it is the aim of the trainers to
make him run. Get wild horse to
running straight ahead and he is con-
quered and will in short time be-
come docile.
"But with domestic stock Just the
opposite is the case. A tame horse
does not buck as a rule but wants to
run. Let him run and he is ruined.
The philosophy of the business is
plain. The idea in both cases is to
bend the will of the horse to the
riders desire. The wild horse runs
straight ahead because he is cOwed
and afraid of his rider and has de-
SPARED of throwing him. The tame
horse runs because he has no fear of
the rider and imagines he is escap-
ing. He is made to go slow'duietly
only through fear and respect.
Thus, you see, the wild horse runs TO
slavery, while the tame horse runs
to freedom. Cincinnati Times-Star.
