ExPERIENCTWG TROUBLE

In Obtaining His Insurance Money.
 Samuel Greenberg. the owner of the ladies' furnishing goods store at 7Si Grand avenue. which was recently burned out may have to bring suit to secure his insurance money. The insur- ance officials believe that they have evil dence enough that the fire was not acci- dental to prevent a recovery of the in surance if suit is brought, although sufficient facts have not been secured to warrant an arrest for arson.
 The facts in the case are given sub stantially as follows:
 Two weeks ago Sunday Greenberg's wife was In the place, as she states. sewing on garments, when she suddenly discovered that she was surrounded by flames and to save herself she ran from the store and went home without giving the alarm. Several gentlemen were standing OH the street opposite, and Mrs. Greenberg's actions aroused their curiosity and they went over to the store and discovered that 1t was on fire. They sent in an alarm and the firemen responded. Before the flames were extinguished the goods in the store were damaged to the extent,it was alleged at the time of about $1,OOO.
 It was subsequently, reported to Fire Marshal Hubbard by one of the young men who was first in the store that upon entering the place he smelled the odor of turpentine. There were other suspicious circumstances connected with it which led the officials to believe that the fire was of incendiary origin. Mrs. Greenberg was examined and she told story substantially as given above. MT. Greenberg was absent from the city on the day of the fire and did not return until the following Monday When seen he stated that he had pur- chased the property short time before of his cousin, Herman Greenberg, for $1,S00 and had it insured for that sum in the New Hampshire Fire Insurance was all he knew of the matter.
 The investigation into the insurance still further confirmed the officials in their belief that the fire was not acci- dental. It transpired that when Green berg took out the insurance he could speak excellent English, but after the fire one day he visited the office of pany, and gave notice of his loss by fire, but this time he could not speak English at all, but was compelled to talk with the aid of an interpreter.
 Fire Marshal Hubbard obtained sutfi- cient information to believe that the company should be informed before placing the insurance, and the facts he secured were sent to the company. As a result. George E. Kendall, the general agent of tko company, located in Bos- ton, came to this city and made an in vestigation, with the result that he sent word to his company to refuse to pay the claim.
 In the meantime three garnishee pro- cesses wee served on the company which also prevented the company. if il was so disposed, from paying the loss The suits are for rent and for goods furnished. It now remains with MT | Greenberg to proceed to secure his in surance before it will be paid, which. ir | view of the circumstances, it is believed | he will not do.

Crapette is solitaire for two. 1t re-
quires two packs of cards. Each player
places four in row The last highest
card has the play. Each deals 3 cards
from his own pack. These are called his
crapette and lie ON the table. The rest
of the cards are held i'll the hand Aces
as they turn up are laid in the center of
the table, and the packs are built mp
from the double rows first laid down.
The cards of these are built down, as
in all solitaire games. The spaces are
filed from the crapette, and the build
ing is done from the hand. The upper
card of the crapette must be always
kept turned up. The conflict between
the two players lies in the fact that each
can build up or down on the other s
crapette The first who has played out
all his hand wins. Crapette is an in
genious variation Of one of the most
familiar games of solitaire. New York

MISTAKES ON THE WIRE.

Eudicrous Errors Made by Telegraph OPP
orators In Transmitting Dispatches.
The funny mistakes of telegraphers
are as numerous as those charged up to
proofreaders. A gentleman who has been
an extensive traveller, and consequently
not supposed to overlook any details,
saw his wife off on a train for the slope
the other day. 1t was supposed that ev-
erything had been arranged The good
by and its accompaniment had been
passed, and the gentleman returned to
his home That night his wife suddenly
remembered that she had left valuable
adjunct to her happiness and wrote
message to her husband which he re-
ceived the following morning at his Of
fee 1t read:
Forgot Think conductor has tele-
graphed for it. "
He read it again, and it read as at
first Forgot what" he murmured
And he read it again and kept reading
1t until the words ran together and his
temples throbbed. He sent a message to
his house asking the servants If Mrs.
- had left anything. They made no
discoveries, of course. Then he sent a
message to the operator at the office
from which his wife's message was sent
asking him to repeat it. He waited for
an answer He lost his luncheon and his
dinner waiting. He remained at his Of
fee until late at night, and as he was
about to leave in despair he received an
answer to his. 1t read: Forgot trunk
Conductor has telegraphed for it. "
Sure enough, the word trunk" had
been made to read ''thiDk f" But wasn't
it strange that man who had travelled
all over the world should come to his
own home to forget to check his wife's
trunk? He laughed to himself after it
was all over. But it had cost him lots
of worry
Equally funny is this one:
A lady in this city had received let
ter from her old home in Connecticut
which caused her a good deal of trouble.
Her answer to it was by wire. When
it was delivered in the Connecticut
home, 1t read:
"Hows the weather."
What an exasperating query at such
timel The letter referred to the lady's
mothers health. The dispatch should
have read, "How's mother?'
A little different is this one: A gen
tleman of this city sent his wife mes
sage from Washington March 4, 1898,
prepaid, and it has not been delivered
up to the present writing. The CORE
spondence between the Chicago Office
and the Washington and New York
offices about the transaction has accu-
INFLATED until the batch looks like the
papers in long continued lawsuit

When sheep are folded at night, dog
guards may be made for their pens by
stringing barbed wires along the fence
posts high enough so that dog cannot
jump over.
Sheep farmers in England do not all
follow the same methods of care and
management of their tlocks, says John
Jackson of Ontario. In some sections
where they have shaded permanent
pastures the sheep are allowed to roam
at large for portion of the season. In
other parts of the country they are fold
ed in hurdles summer and winter
For keeping the flies off small num-
Der of horses or cattle nothing is better
than solution of phenol sodique. The
animals may be washed with it, and
flies will not trouble them till it has all
washed off or evaporated. A larger
number of animals might be sprinkled
with the solution from the nozzle of a
hose. The phenol is nonpoisonous and
not expensive.

To Discover Which of the -Four Equine Legs
Is Defective.
The character of lameness most noted
is foot lameness of a navicularthritic
nature, and most singular fact is the
great number of young horses that seem
to be afflicted, thereby proving beyond
possible doubt that the origin of the
trouble in the majority of instances is
congenital hereditary predisposition).
In selecting mares for breeding purposes
this important item must be impressed
upon the mind that they should be as
free from structural changes as posi- BILE,
as well as from organic diseases, espe-
cially of the foot, as the power of trans
hitting disease is much greater in the
mother than in the father
The diseases and accidents of which
lameness is commonly symptom or re-
suit are Inflammation and liberation of
the joints, inflammation and Justification
of the periostical and cartilage ligamen-
tous tissues, sprain and inflammation of
the igaments and tendons, liberation
and inflammation of muscular fiber,
disease of the structures peculiar to the
foot, faults or accidents in shooting, CON
tusions, wounds of all sorts, tumors,
alterations, fractures, dislocations,
spasm, paralysis.
A horse suddenly stricken with infu-
enza manifests such weakness in his
limbs as hardly to be able TO walk
Here the debility is the direct effect of
disease, but 1t may be an indirect effect
and in this way: A horse dislocated his
stifie. The power and tone of the mus
Giles of the dislocated limb remain for
the time undiminished. as indeed would
speedily be evinced were the patella
pushed into place again Suffer the
bone, however, to remain in state of
dislocation for length Of time, the
limb continuing, through necessity, all
the while In inaction, and the result
will be shrinking and atrophy of its
muscles and consequent manifestation
Of weakness and lameness. Indeed a
horse may be left in stall tied up to
his crib for SO long time that when
led out again he will be found TO have
all but lost the use of his limbs.
The weakness engendered i'll the
limbs by overwork everybody recog-
nizes. The wind gals, the swollen and

and tremnlous joints, all evince weak
ness from hard work, and this is more
