things of life, including all sorts and

champagne without affecting his men

could do It; and so could his private

A PlE-EATINo HORSE.

He Has Been Known to Refuse Oats for
Pic and Is Fat and SlceE.
Leonard Jacobs, pie pcddler of An
sonia, Conn, has one of the most re-
narl;able horses In Connecticut. Other
towns have boasted of horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink beer, but
Jacobs horse will cat pie, says local
exchange. The horse is twenty-three
years old. Jacobs pies como from New
Haven, packed in cases, and in trans
portation some of them generally get
broken and cannot be sold. One day
Jacobs threw d broken pie on the
ground near the horses head. The ani-
NAL smelled of it, touched 1t with his
tongue, Tapped it up and ate it with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
to the horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was to be had The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says ''pie" to him, the horse will
turn his head and wink expectantly.
He has adecided preference for mince
pie, and tho more raisins and currants
and cider there are the better he is
pleased. Apple pie is great favorite
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the apple pie, and this doesn't
seem to agree with the equine taste.
Pumpkin pie he likes and cranberry
tarts are an especial delight. Peach,
apricot, berry and prune pies are ac-
.ccptablc, but unless the prunes are
stoned he will not touch prune pie after
the first bite. The horse is fat, sleek,
and youthful in his movements, and
Jacobs expects to keep him on the pie
cart until he is long past the age when
most horses arc turned out to grass for
the rest of their days or are carted to
the horse cemetery by the side of the
mnrlsy waters of the Naugatuek river.

He died doing his duty; all that any man
could do.
Come to me and I'll forgive thee,
And thy precious soul Ill keep,
Sang the angels, Wednesday morning,
AS they lulled our Vim to sleep;
Rest had come to him so quickly,
Not a single pang he bore,
And upon Our Fathers bosom,
He now rests for
Little did he dream that morning,
When he left so full of life,
Fer a second day were dawning,
He'd have shifted earthly strife;
Passed his young life out in duty,
Gone to join the Shepherds fold;
All, this life-a breath-it passes,
And the warmest heart grows cold.
Life is short, its trials are many,
And its victories are few,
Other hearts have broken Irene,
Other hearts have broken too.
Have We not for ages heard it,
Heard the same sweet, sad song sung?
He whom most our Savior loveth,
He it is He taketh young.
Bow your head and praise the Savior,
As he calls his flock ON high,
Earth is not our home forever,
We are placed here but to die.
Life is too, too all uncertain,
Nothing sure on Earth is met;
Did | say that naught was certain?
| must change that-naught but Death.
Give not up to earthly sorrows,
There is hope beyond the grave,
Lift your cross and bear it onward,
Cheer up little wife! Be brave!
Place your trust in Him above us,
In the Lord who giveth all,
When all other hope forsake thee,
He will heed the Widows call.
IN MEMoRIAM.
Thou art gone, but not forgotten.
Wilt thy loving memory be,
Deep within her hearts lone grotto,
Rests the image Vim of thee.
You are now among his angels,
And the golden crown have won,
And our love, in meek submission,
Humbly says-Thy will be done.
