Gentlemen, We are In a box and need as
sistance- We want permission to solicit cid

1T has peen said that we ought to have
thought about sustenance before we arrived.
Well that's so, but here we are and IL o
too late to talk about that now. We have
appealed TO the people OF the United States
for assistance through the peoples press
and expect aid in a short time. What we
want is time 70 get our matters before

Sweet Brown Eyes.

From the Albany Argus.
The conductor knew the man In the rear
seat and when the tickets had all been
punched sat down beside him. They rode
In silence for some time. Then the man in
the rear seat asked abruptly: What's the
matter?"
The conductor took his left leg of the
right knee and crossed the right one over

swered.
What about him?"
Its what he told me about his wife. She
ran away. you know, and he's trying to find
her. He says she's a pretty woman. with
large, soft brown eyes, and a sweet. tender
mouth"
The woman In front Of them had large.
brown eyes, but they were hard and cold,
and her mouth was very scornfuL
He asked me to be on the lookout for
her"
The woman in front seemed to be count
ing the telegraph poles along the road.
"It breaks me all up when I see him. and
he says. so sort of despairng, so, you
haven't run across her yet, have you, old
mann and then it keeps running in my
mind all the time what am to say to the

The woman in front moved uneasily. then
tried to count the cattle in a pasture that

"Of course he is" assented the conductor.

clear crazy on that point, for there never
was a woman lived worth loving like that"
They were nearing a station, and the con-
ductor went out on the platform.
The man in the rear seat took up his
newspaper and began to read.
A change had come over the face Of the

A KNOWING HORSE,
Maxeppa, n Steed That Would Have
Helped MaEeppn to Life, Not Death.

Maneppa, n Steed That Would Have
Helped MaHeppn to Life, Not Death.
From the London Daily News. ....
1t cannot be said Of the horse, as Heine
said of the monkey, that 1t does not talk for
fear of being put to work Probably the
ultimate degree to which the training Of
animals may be carried is reached in the
case Of the talking horse that literally made
its bow TO the public recently at the Crysta |
palace. Mazeppa is an Arab, educated, so
to say. in America, and it's extraordinary
capacity for learning was manifested before
an astonished and enthusiastic audience.
In the strict meaning of the word the
horse does not talk, but is capable of an
swering questions addressed to it. 1t even
understands French or German when it
hears 1t spoken, though 1t does not speak
these languages, in which it is not less &C
complished than some human beings The
animal not only appears to think. but is
capable of expressing itself intelligently by
signs. 1t has special talent for arith-
metic.
The audience was invited promiscuously
| to call out a number Of figures, which were
arranged in rows on a black board, and Ma
zeppa, after looking over them, gave the
| sum of the addition by paving the ground
| in every case the exact number of times
| necessary to indicate the result. AS a mere
| trick this would be surprising enough but
! considering the HSureS were taken at ran
| dom from among the audience ladies' and
gentlemen, and, in particular eager little
| boys, contributing, collision seemed out of
the question and Mazeppas good faith was
established by the still more remarkable
achievement that followed.
The horse was directed to count the num-
Der of persons in given rows of the audi
| ence, and, having done so more than once,
proceeded to indicate the number of women
| and the number of men in any particular
| row. Having passed this examination, Ma
| zeppa stood forth to answer any question
| to which 1t was possible to give a reply d.
! rectly, by means Of a shake CT the head,
| signifying either Yes" or NO." or In
! figures. Thus, the day of the week and
| the month of the year. or the date of a
| birthday revealed to the trainer, Prof. r
| S. Mcclure was promptly found by tn.
! horse; any attempt to deceive it meeting
| always with a decidedly emphatic negative
| This astounding entertainment concluded
| with an imitation by Mazeppa of young
man paying his addresses TO a young lady
/ The horses affectation of tenderness adds
| a very humorous touch to an excellent piece
| of pantomime. The sagacious Mazeppa Is
| simply a wonder.
