1t must be admitted that no tariff measure

How to Buy a Horse.

No sensible man will buy horse of
any value or one which he expects to
do good service without first submitting
it to a qualified veterinary surgeon,
says the London Live Stock Journal
Many an unprofessional man has
good eye for a horse, but he
knows little or nothing of its
structure and anatomy, compared
with the trained veterinarian More
over, the amateur judge of horse Is
apt to fly to certain points where he
thinks he can detect something, and
overlook Others The veterinary sur
geon. who is examining horses almost
every day, not only brings his scientific
knowledge to bear but conducts his ex-
aminations in systematic manner, 60
ing all over the horse before he has
done with him. II there be manifest
unsoundness it will be discovered and
pointed out, but it is in the discovery
and indication of incipient uusound-
ness that the training and practice Of
the veterinarian are Of supreme vslus.

ments thrown open, and the glory of
the sunset gliding their lattice panes.
Some distance off, by slight bend
in the stream, a rustic bridge spanned
the water. The golden light of day grad
ually gave place to the faint approach
of dusk. A young girl emerged from
the mill house, and slowly wendell her
way to the single, rough-hewn plan k
over the tide. When she had reached
the center she paused and leant over
Its one hand rail There for awhile
she stood looking down on the gleam-
ing current flowing beneath her feet.
The last rays of sunset fell on her fair,
FURNISHED tresses; they intensified the
deep blue of her eyes, and added a
roseate glow to her soft, peach-like
skin. 1t seemed pity no artist was
there to portray on canvas the pic
turesque scene and its central figure
that gave the one touch of life needed
to complete the whole.
Slowly over purple hill the disc of
the moon rose. AS it climbed higher
and yet higher it flooded the earth with
a silver radiance. 1t was difficult to
realize day had departed, that night
with it's mystic veil had assumed sway.
Yet the girl did not move. She stood
on the bridge with rapt look on her
face, as though listening intently.
From the distance came the sweet
chime of bells, now loud, now soft,
with their cadences dying lingeringly
on the stream; mingling with them at
intervals came the faint strains of a
band. Presently oil was hushed. Save
for the double note of a cuckoo from a
tree and the purling of the waters moth
ing broke the stiffness. But to the
maiden the air was tilled with voices.
The stream was lifting song with a
tender refrain that rang out again and
again through the air. Another tone

The tramp had applied at the kitchen
door of house on Second street and

CURLY.

"rll have to see the landlady," she
said as she started in.
Excuse me-" he interrupted, ''is this

Course it is"
Then l desire to withdraw my re

SURE HE WAS A GENTLEMAN.
A Street Car Conductor Has Test That
He Is Willing to Bet On.

A Street Car Conductor Has Test That
He Is willing to Bet On.
THAT man is real gentleman If he
does look little seedy," said street
car conductor to me as he pointed out
a man in the car on an uptown trip one
day last week.
How do you decide that?" asked.
'IIave you found some new test Of
character?'
"Well, | don't know as it's anything
new, but I've been railroading a good
many years and haven't watched all
sorts of passengers for nothing. !
learned long ago that about every
woman who gets a letter likes to let
every body know it by reading it in a
street car, and that's what led me to
find out one thing that marks man a
gentleman.
"4ou see that woman sitting right
beside the man ] pointed ont? Well,
she read letter that lasted ten blocks,
and that man never even looked at it
out of the corners of his eyes, let alone
trying to read it. That's how | know
he's got good breeding.
The next time you see woman
reading a letter in street car you
watch any man who happens to be sit
ting near her and see if he doesn't try
to get look at the letter himself,
Nine times out of ten he will, and
sometimes he'll make himself such a
nuisance that I'd like to interfere if
dared. II he doesn't you may be dead
certain he's first-class gentleman. III
bet on that test"
But how about the women? Does
your test apply TO them, too?'
well, moo; l hardly think it does
for I've never seen the woman on my
car yet that wouldn't give sly glane>
at letter another was reading if she
could. N. Y. Herald.
