his head his steed would take care Of
him. And so it proved. His ride
| extended over wide territory, one
part of it, especially, taking him
across a primeval forest threaded by
uncertain trails, where for miles there
was not a settler. From one trip in
early spring he had been due at home
for two or three days, and the people
began to wonder at his delay. At
last one morning the mare stood at the
barn door, but the saddle was empty.
Where was her master? She was
gaunt and weak, evidently having been
long without food. A heavy storm
had obliterated her trail, SO that it was
impossible to tell along which Of
several paths to search for the doctor.
And if, as her condition indicated, he
had fallen from her back somewhere in
the woods two days before, he might
have already perishcd from exposure.
At length an old man, with many years
experience, exclaimed:
''Fced the mar an then send her to
| find the man. Foller her, fer she
knows whar he is. A hoss knows
more man in a pinch.
The suggestion was taken. After a
couple of hours to eat and rest, she
was led out, turned loose, and briskly
driven away with the words. "Go
and find the doctor
At first she resented such treatment,
but finally seemed to understand, and
wheeling toward the forest, whinned
as if moved with sympathy for her lost
master. Swift-footed frontiermen fol-
lowed. Frequently she whinned and
peered ahead, quickening her pace in
| eager impatience. Nearly 20 miles
they pushed on. At last the mare
seemed to freshly recall her errand and
turning to the left by faint trail
rushed away at a rapid gallop, fire.
qucntly calling in touching manner.
Her followers could hardly keep
within hearing. Suddenly she stop
ped, her voice changed tone and sank
to a. sort of satisfied but troubled
moan.
When the men reached her she stood
over the PROSTATE form of DR.. Bost-
wick, rubbing him with her nose, and
apparently crying-if a horse can
cry-that he did not respond.
The man was alive, but far gone by
exposure. His empty bottle explain
ed the mischief.
When he recovered, he stated that
the mare stayed by him for nearly two
days after he was unable to retain his
place on the saddle, often whinnying
anxiously, nosing him tenderly, and
pulling at his clothes as if to help him
on his journey. And when she left
him he could hear her for long way
calling him to follow. Later the doc
tor became an efficient temperance lec-
turer, and this incident told by him
has moved many drinker to tears and
| to reform.

Lost his Head.

DR.. Bostwick was physician in
the West so years ago, when all coun-
try practice was conducted on horse
back, and the "saddlebags'' consti-
tutcd the only pharmacy. lie was an
intrepid man Of exceptional ability
and skill, but sadly given to the from
tier custom of whisky drinking. Many
time did he become too intoxicated
to ride, when his friends would pack
him away and care for him until he
was himself again; yet never but once
did his habit impcril his life, and
thereupon he relinquished the cup for
ever.
At the time he had been for some
years riding Kentucky mare of un-
usual intelligence, and the people
used to say that when the doctor lost

There is one PERCEPTION which a
horse possesses to which little atten-
tion has been paid, and that is the
power Of scent. With some horses it
is as acute as with the dog; and for
the benefit of those VINO drive at night,
such as physicians and others, this
knowledge is invaluable. l never
knew it to fail, and I have ridden
hundreds of miles Of dark nights, and
in consideration Of this power Of scent
this is my simple advice: Never check
your horse at night, but give him a
free head, and you may rest assured
that he will never get off the road, and
will carry you safely and expeditions

in horse, l once knew one Of pair
that was stolen and recovered mainly
by the track being made out by his
mate, and that after he had been alb

Says the New York Sun: "There is
danger to the Southern cotton planters in
reducing the acreage Of that staple for the
purpose of raising its price, as recon-
mended once again by the Cotton States
Convention in session at Montgomery,
Ala. The competition of Egypt and In
dia with this country in the cotton mar
kets of the world is steadily growing
closer, and is acuter than ever this year.
If they can furnish the article at the low
prices which have lately ruled our
planters must either do the same thing
or retire from competition with them in
every consuming country other than our
own. Europe is far less dependent upon
our Southern States for its cotton than
it was half century ago, or even ten
wears ago. We must retain our place
against all comers, so far as we can. or
run the risk of losing it altogether. The
Montgomery convention does we'll in
urging the planters to diversity their
crops; yet they must never lose SIGHT or
the valuable staple upon which the for
tunes of the cotton States arc so largely
dependent,"

President Cleveland has new word.
When any one comes to see him on
matter Of business now he says: "We!l,
now, let's 'spute' about it," He got the
word from story Professor Proctor, the
civil service commissioner, told him OF
an old negro down in Kentucky who
was very powerful in theological contro-
versy, and was looked up TO by the col
ored people of that section as the ablest
exponent of the scriptures, white OF
black, that they had ever known: The
old gentleman had worsted all debsters,
and like Alexander, sighed for new
worlds to conquer. Professor Proctor,
with party of friends, happened to visit
the plantation upon which he lived, and
while they were sitting on the piazza one
morning the great conversationallst ap-
peared with pair Of horn-framed spec
tacles on his nose and big Bible under
his arm. Shutting up to the steps he
took off his hat, made low bow, and in
a most dignified and respectful manner,
said: "Good mawning, good mawnine.
T done come up to see If any of you all
white gennermens I'D like to 'spute er-
bout der holy scriptures dis mawning."
The president was very much amused
by the story and has clung to the word,
which he now uses freely at cabinet
meetings and in social as we'll as official
conversations.
