Colonel Colquitt was as communica-
tive as IS his wont when seen by a

A dozen CIR more questions elected the
thrilling information that the govern
ment, in the person of Colonel Colquitt,
will remove from the city today and HE

There is horse owned by farmer
near Albany, N. Y, which has great
fondness for getting hold of garment
and tearing it to pieces in the same
manner that young dog would; that
is, by placing his forefeet on the article
and then catching hold with his teeth
and tearing away until the cloth Is in
shreds- The other day the owner came
home with fine new beaver overcoat,
which he took of and laid on the seat
of his wagon. Then be unhitched the
horse and sent him into the stable. In
stead of going. the horse sprang at the
wagon, snatched the overcoat and ran
away with It The distressed owner
armed himself with whip and recov-
cred the coat. but not until a sleeve
had been ripped out and a big hole torn
In the back. That horse is for sale.

Dog Kent Tab ON the Clock.

One Of the best stories about the in
teliigence of dogs which has been told
for some time was reported a few days
ago by an officer of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. He said that one
of the men in the passenger department
had dog that could tell the time Of
day. The owner of the dog had a fine
clock in his Office, and he got into the
habit of making the dog tap with his
paw at each stroke of the clock. After
awhile the dog did SO without being
told, and as the clock gave a little
cluck just before striking, the dog
would get into position, prick up his
ears and tap out the time. II the clock
had struck one and q little while after
ward his owner initiated the prelimin-
airy cluck of the clock the dog would
give two taps with his paw and so on
for any hour. He knew just how the
hours ran and how many taps to give
for each one.-N. Y. Tribune.
