The First Horse that Ever Lived.

There is a Greek legend telling how
Athens came by its name, and there is
a noble horse who plays a prominent
part in the legend. If we are to be-
lieve the story, he was the first real
fesh-and-blood horse of which we have
any account. Some men say tina he
was the first animal of the kind that
ever lived, but this is doubtful. Snowy
white, without spot or blemish from the
tips of his ears to the tips of his amber
hoofs, how he must have astonished
the supplemented folk of Cecropin
when he leaped right out of the earth
at their feet. If you should ever go to
Athens and climb to the top of that
wonderful hill called the Acropolis look
around you. You may see the very
spot where it all is said to have hap

NOT ALL KILLED BY SHOT.

%sp,inters Were More Destructive Than
Missiles in the Eastern War.
The recent war between Japan and
China has taught the officers of the
American navy at least one new thing
in the construction of vessels. There
will be scarcely any woodwork in the
Oregon, that is rapidly nearing compile
ton at the Unio Iron works. This is
due to the fact lat there were more
people killed al injured in the naval
battles in the At by flying wooden
splinters thani he bullets or explod-
ing shells. NJ &c of the cruisers and
battle ships that took part in the war
were constructed with steel hulls, and
all of them were more or less protected
with heavy armor plates. The interior
fittings and furnishings of the quarters
and the deck coverings, however, were
of wood. When a shot pierced the hull
OF a vessel and tore through the wood
in the interior of the ship splinters were
sent flying in all directions. In most
cases the shot passed through the vessel
without injuring any of the crew, but
the shower Of wooden splinters filled
the sick bay and kept the sailmaker
sewing up the dead in canvas sacks for
burial. On the battleship Oregon prac-
tically no wood will be used. All the
bulkheads and partitions dividing the
rooms in the officers quarters are to be
of iron. No wood will be used on the
decks, but instead linoleum will be
cemented to the iron deck to prevent
slipping. All the doors will be of iron.
and all those leading to the decks will
be made watertight.

study and contemplation do in some

die, and a resemblance Of death; or else
because all the wisdom and reasoning

.BEATEN BY HER SERVANT GIRL

BEATEN BY HER SERVANT GIRL
Mrs. Albert C. Hoke, of Chicago, was
attacked by her servant girl, Mary
Brown, yesterday, and nearly murder
ed. Mrs. Hoke was giving the girl d.
rections about the work, when sudden
ly the girl seized hold of some kitchen
utensils and began belaboring her mis-
tress over the head and body, shouting
in the meantime: "Mr. Hoke told me
to kill you"
After she had pounded Mrs. Hoke in
to Inconsistencies the girl saturated a
towel with ammonia and threw it over
her face. Then she picked her up and
carried her upstairs, where she put her
in a folding bed and closed it up.
A servant next door who heard the
commotion came running into the
house just as the Brown woman
was coming down stairs. When asked
what was the matter Mary Brown an
swered that Mrs. Hoke attempted to
commit suicide and that she was on her
way to summon Mr.. Hoke. She then
went out of the house and no trace of
her has since been seen.
The girl who had come in rushed up
stairs and found Mrs. Hoke iammed
inside close folding bed. ALI efforts
to restore her to consciousness have
proved unavailing.
MIR. Hoke is a wholesale hardware
dealer. The general opinion is that
the girl must suddenly have gone in
sane, as her demoniacal actions can in
no way be accounted for.

MIR. George r. Peck, of Chicago, in
his recent address before the literary
societies of the University of Virginia,
termed Thomas Jeflerson's statement
that call men are created equal" that
"noble assertion" Whether noble
or ignoble, no reasonable man who has
ever devoted moments thought to its
consideration, accepts it, as true, for
history experience, physiology and
common sense prove that no assertion
could possibly be more erroneous. No
sensible man denies that he is an
animal, and subject to the same natural
laws that govern all other animals, and
as all colts, calves, puppies, kittens and
other animals are not created equal,
why should all meu be? They are not
Some are born great, some acquire
greatness and some have greatness
thrust upon them, which would not be
the case if they were created equal.
Luck is the chief promoter of modern
greatness and no body even pretends
to believe that all men are created with
the same luck. The assertion that all
men are created equal well fits dema-
gogue's mouth and is sweet sound TO
the ears of simpletons, and its reitera-
ton is not at all wonderful to people
who understand human nature.

there is strong ground for believing,

ger shall menace the white people ofthe
