CURED THE HORSE.
But Now Wants Damages From the
Veterinary Man.

A young man in Alexandria visited Wash
ington few days ago and while here pur-
chased a preparation for curing horses of
baking. He owns a handsome animal that
has this fault, although otherwise it is a
very desirable horse. The prepare ton was
to be applied to the TANKS and was guaran-
teed. He tested it upon a work horse he
possessed and 1t operated to perfection.
Then he invited young lady to go riding
with him, and hitchng his handsome horse
to a buggy, started. When hill was
reached he applied the remedy. moment
later the swingle-tree flew over his head
and the girl tainted, then the dashboard
fell in, followed by crash as the floor of
the buggy received a blow from the horses
hoofs. At this juncture the animal started
ahead, the seller of the remedy. had
guaranteed. He took the shafts and front
wheels with him, but left the rest of the
vehicle and the occupants in the road. The
couple walked three miles to their homes in
silence, and the young man called upon a
lawyer yesterday to ascertain how much he
can recover from the man who sod him the
stuff, a recompense for the loss of the
buggy and the affections of the girl.

cumbents to be filled by representatives of
the party coming into power. The minor
patronage connected with the offices of
the sergeant-at-arms, clerk, doorkeeper and
postmaster render the contest for the cleo
tive positions interesting, inasmuch as the
representatives taking part in the cam
paign expect to benefit by the result in
providing places for their constituents The
majority of the positions included in the
list of patronage at the disposal of the
newly-elected officials command lucrative
salaries, and each Representative has a
following of eager constituents anxious to
fill the office and draw the emolument
therefor.
Thus 1t happens that time like the
present, when the would be officer of the
House greets the incoming Representative
with CHEEKY smile and eXpectant attitude,
he sees in the manner of the latter a re-
Election of his own anxiety, and when they
get down to business the question arises.

This is where the candidate has to work

HE ESCAPED.
Awful Nights Experience of Il Young
English Tourist.

One of the most amusing things that 1
ever heard of was told by a young English
man as having happened to himself When
he first came to the United States he was
told that west of the Missouri river the en-
tire country was infested with bears, some
of which were SO bold that they came into
the towns. He stopped in a Kansas viii
lage. and in the evening started out for
walk. The stores were closed, but the
moon was shining brightly. He rambled
about the place for couple OF hours, and
started down the business street for the
hotel. Suddenly he saw before him on the
sidewalk a big bear, sitting on it's launches
with mouth open and paws extended, await
ing his coming. In a moment he was on
tor. of porch, crying for help, but no one
heard him, and the bear sat and watched
him. All night long he stayed there, trem-
bling for fear bruin would climb the post
but comforting himself with the idea that
it was too small to be used by bear. At
dayhreak some men came along and one
of them wheeled the bear back to the door,
way, with the remark, Il wonder who put
that sign in the middle of the walk" The
tourist descended from the porch without
detection and had he not subsequently en-
joyed the story SO much that he told it
himself it would never have been known.

E. A. Jaquth, the owner of the Bay
Horse mines in Idaho, is in the city. Mr..
JaQuith, who is now a very wealthy man.
obtained his start in a very peculiar way.
He was a railroad engineer, and wanted to
open a small store. Going to friend who
was wealthy, he obtained letters of intro
duction to Salt Lake and San Francisco
merchants. Much to his surprise, the doc
uments took the form of general letters of
credit. and Jaquith was treated royalty by
the wholesale merchants. Having entire
confidence in his scheme. he bought freely
until his purchases ran over 100000. Not
having the money to pay freight, he in
sisted upon a price at place of delivery
which made the merchants settle trans
portation bills. He opened a number of
stores, bought ore, and by judicious use of
credit paid every bill when due, and with
in two years became the owner of some of
the most valuable mining properties in the
west His friend did not learn how much
he had bought until the bills were paid,
and even then turned pale when informed
Of the escape he had from a financial re-
sronslblity that would have ruined him, if
the business had not been successful.

HE PROTECTED THE POSTERS.
How Old Man Daily Kept the Fence
Clenr for Three Months.

Dan DAILY, the comedian of the Timber
legs and cavernous voice, tells a funny
story that relates to the outset of his career
on the stage.
His father was longshoreman, and the
home of tile Days in those days was a
humble establishment near the East river,
in New York city. The old man took an
immense pride in the success of his children
on the stage-for not only Dan, but his
brother and sister also, had taken to act
ing as a profession. They had risen rapidly
from the ranks, and their portraits, on a
scale sufficiently enlarged, were displayed
one week upon posters that Were scattered
all over town. Some of these bills decor
ated an eXpanse of fence i'll the immediate
neighborhood of the DAILY shanty.
The exposure in this situation was rather
eligible for advertising purposes, and on
this point Dan made some remarks to his
father. He told the old man that it was a
practice of some p!ratical bll-posters to
come along about Thursday in week and
week current. This was undesirable, and
the elder Daily was persuaded to promise
that he would not permit such thing to
happen, far the fence near his
premises were concerned. 1t should be ex-
planned that the Daily children were not
then living under the ancestral roof
True to His Trust.
The Days played their week in New
York and left the metropolis for an eX-
tended tour. They were away for three
months. At the end of that time they
came back, and were received by the pa
ternal arms. The old man was feeling
well, but he was not looking well at all.
His countenance was considerably battered,
and he seemd to be trif1e lame in one leg.
Far from complaining, he spoke of the
matter with the utmost satisfaction. He
explained that during the absence of his
offspring from the city a good many bill
posters had come along with intention to
obliterate the portraits of Dan and his
brother and sister by FASTING fresh bills
over them. To this he interposed an OBJ
lection. Every time that such d thing was
attempted he opposed it with force. Con-
slant Watchfulness was required, but such
was the care of the elder Mr.. DAILY that no
invader for business purposes obtained any
success.
Mr.. Daily produced memorandum, which
gave a more or less detailed account of
seventeen fights in which he had been en-
gagged for the purpose of protecting the
portraits of his children. He was not sure
that the number had not been eighteen.
Incidentally to these conflicts he had re-
ceived about twenty Commissions, including
five black eyes, and his nose had bled pro-
trifles. The honor of the house of DAILY
the pictures of his progeny still continued,
though in a somewhat damaged condition,
to ornament the disputed advertising space.

man of high standing in his state, which
he served as a member of the House dur
ing two Congresses. In the House he was
chairman of the civil service reform COM
mittee and a member of the committee on
foreign affairs. He is an earnest civil serv-
ice reforn.er and clean man in politics.
Before coming to Congress he was state s
district attorney, president of a railroad
and judge of the superior court of his
state, successfully. During his service as
secretary of the Senate he has been very
active in giving his personal attention to
the duties of the office, occupying his place
at the desk in the changer and himself
doing the reading.
The officers under him are of the higher
salaried clase, none getting less than $1,000
per year. They are the chief financial
clerk and his assistant, the journal clerks,
reading clerks. and all the clerical force of
the Senate, and the keeper of the sta
tionery.
The clerks to the committees are ap-
poir ted by the chairmen of the various
committees and do not form a part of the
patronage under the elective officers.

put d.lleIu... lace On the situation. A
gooG deal of the venison comes from the
New York markets. for while ST. Paul is a
big headquarters for this sort of game, it
costs about 4 cents a pound to bring the
meat from that city, while it can be
brought over from New York for a cent a
pound. One of the leading dealers in the
market had 4 big bear ard a couple of
cubs cut up for sale on his stand this morn
ing. They came from the mountains of
Virginia. There is not much demand for
bear meat in this city, however, and few
sales are made, except to clubmen and
others who have developed a liking for it
while camping out on a hunt in the woods
