SLEPT WITH THE HORSE.
The Odd Bedfeiiow of a Sheriff Who Held
 a Flier as Security.

There are more unique experiences to be encountered in serving writs and various legal documents than in almost any other business, remarked young lawyer the other day to Chicago Her aid reporter 'sThe constable and the deputy sheriff are required to do more strange things in the line of duty than any one else I ever heard of.
 "One of them attached horse for me at the Washington park track, and I went along with him to see that every thing was right We located the horse first. and when the stable boys found out what the trouble was about there was the greatest furor you ever saw.
 Why, boss exclaimed one of them, dat hoss kin win mo- den dat in one race. Jess you let i'm alone'
 Dat hoss am good foh hundred ob dem claims jess at dis one meetinP as- serted another
 They kept up a regular fusillade while the deputy and I were looking for the owner, but we paid no attention to them. When we finally found the own CT, he did not seem inclined to pay. There was dispute as to the claim, he said, but he admitted that he had put his name to the note that we had sued on. He could not pay that afternoon anyway, and the deputy wanted to take the horse right away. was opposed to that, however, for he was entered ill a race for the next day, and it seemed un- fair to prevent his running.
 You stay with the horse, said to the deputy. He is in your charge and you simply remain with him.
 All night?' he asked.
 Certainly, I replied. Give the owner chance to raise tho money. If he doesn't succeed, you can take the horse away tomorrow.
 But where will sleep?' he inquired anxiously.
 Wherever the owner does, I re- turned. He lives out here somewhere.
 Where do you sleep?' he asked the owner
 l sleep with the horse. was the re- ply.
 The deputy looked tho blooded ami nal over and seemed i'll doubt. But it was business, and he made the best of it. He growled little, but he slept that night with the horse and its owner. And the next day the note was paid

 And Hunters Use Sweet Sounds to Get
 Them Within Reach.
 "Seals are very fond of music, said G. l.. Tompkins of New Bedford, Mass, land the hunters who pursue them most successfully usually make use of some musical instrument to attract them. l have a distinct recollection of the first seal hunt l ever went on. Early one morning l, in company with about a dozen others set out ill a rowboat for Q epot where the seals were said to be plentiful. The boatmen dipped their oars slowly ill the water and sung ill unison weird, wild song in peculiar undertone. To mo, being uninitiated in the sport, this seemed to be curious accompaniment to seal hunt, but was still more surprised when one of the men produced q flute and played on it a quaint sympathetic air.
 'sThe effect of the music was soon evil dent, as dozens of seals poked their heads up, some remaining basking on the water, while others clambered mp on the lodges of rock, charmed almost to inconsistencies by the music. Steering the boat to the shore, the musician all the while keeping up the plaintive air, one of the men jumped out. He carried with him huge club and long sharp knife. Noiselessly creeping to where some of the seals were lying on the rocks listening intently to the music, he dealt one of them terrible blow on the head with the club stunning it, and thcn made short work of the poor animal with his knife. In the same manner we secured Il fine seals before night. '--- St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Small Things.

I don't think any nation pays more attention to military affairs than Ger many, 3" said a German citizen. Things of seeming little importance connected with the army are investigated with the greatest pains. Many years ago the mat ter of boot heels was taken up. What height of heel was best for the infantry! A commission was appointed, One heel after another was tried, and record of how far the soldiers could march day in each was kept. Years piled on years, the commission carrying on the investi- gation with the care and exactitude of a chemical analysis. Constant improve ments were made, and the distance all army could march in day was thereby increased. At length the suggestion of a heel partly made of rubber was put forth. It was ried-instantaneous sue cessl It was found that regiment using such heels could march one-third farther day and with less fatigue than when the investigation was begun. A small thing that to begin with, but what all important part the improved heel would play in q warp'-Louisvill Courier Journal

WASHINGTON IRVING TO POE.
A Letter Full of Genial Criticism and
 Friendly Counsel.

A Letter Full of Genial Criticism and
 Friendly Counsel.
 Poe had through life the habit of sending his better tales and poems to distinguished literary men and solicit ing thereby their attention, writes Pro- lessor George E. Woedberry i'll The Century in presenting some of Poe's un- published correspondence relating to his residence in Philadelphia.
 He kept the replies and was thus en- abled to append to Hirst's biography of him in the Philadelphia Saturday Mu- scum long list of encomiums in addi- tion to such as had been publicly made. The following letter from Washington Irving was written i'll acknowledgment of William Wilson, :" which had fol- lowed the "House of Usher, as q means of introduction, and the sub stance of it, much altered and some what garbled, appeared i'll the list re- ferred to and affords striking instance of how Poe dealt with such correspond enee:
 NEwBuRG, Nov. 6, 1889. DEAR SIR-The magazine you were so kind as to send me- being directed to New York, instead of Tarrytown, did not reach me for some time. This, together with an unfortu- nate habit of procraStination, must plead my apology for the tardiness of my reply. l have read your little tale of Civilian Wilson" with much pleasure It is managed in highly pie turesque style, and the singular and myste- riouS interest is well sustained throughout l repeat what have said in regard to previous production, which you did me the favor to send me- that cannot but think series of articles of like style and merit would be ex. tremely well received by the public.
 could add for your private ear that think the last tale much the best in regard to style. It is simpler. Ill your first you have been too anxious to present your picture vividly to the eye, or too distrustful of your effect, and have laid on too much coloring. It is erring on the best side-the side of luxuriance That tale might be improved by relieving the style from some of the epithets There is no danger of destroying it's graphic effect, which is power my dear sir, yours respectfully,

Du Maurier's readers. Women have gone
about gazing enviously at the feet Of marble
goddesses when they were in the vicinity of
such, and still more enviously at the plump
pink pedal extremities of children playing
In the water and on the grass. They have
