far more care and attention than do the
teeth of many Of the men and boys who

A HORSE DIES FROM GRIEF.
He Was Separated From His Mate
and Died in "a short Time.

ne W als separated FROM his N1aIG
and Died in "a Short Time.
From the Kentucky Stock Farm.
The emotional life of horse is remark
able. There are instances on record
where the death of the horse has been
traced directly to grief. One instance Is
called to mind, which occurred more than
twenty years ago. A circus had been
performing in the little town of Union
vile, Pa, when one of the trained horses
sprained one of his legs so that he could
not travel. He was taken to the hotter
and put in a box stall. The leg was
bandageI and he was made as comforta-
bic as possible.
He ate his food, and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out Of town.
TEen he became restless and tramped
and Whlned. As the caravan moved past
the hotel he seemed to realize that ne
was being deserted, and his anxiety and
distress became pitiful He would stanu
with his ears pricked in an attitude OF
intense listening, and then as MS ear
caught the sounds of the retiring wagons
he would rush, as best he could with

stall to the other, pushing at the door
with his nose and making every effort

Long after all sounds of the circus had
ceased his agitation continued. The sweat

the circus horses were not brought back

the proprietor mounted horse and rO,is

had had charge OF the injured horse, re-
turned with him. When they reached the
stable the horse was dead
The stableman said that he remained
for nearly an hour perfectly still ana
with every sense apparently strained to
the utmost tension and then, without
making sign, fell and died with scarcely
a struggle. The Veterinarian who was
called remarked after the circumstances
were told him that unquestionably the
horse died from grief. If 1t is possible
for all the mental faculties of the horse
TO become abandoned to grief to such an
extent as to cause death, how much
more does he appeal TO the sympathy

5S5 silver to 344 Gold Men.
Conventions have now been held in all

consist of 585 advocates Of free silver and

cording to the call of Chairman William

of 9O6 delegates, a resolution of the demo-
cratic national committee recommends to
the coming convention the admission Of
six delegates from each territory and the
District of Columbia, thus increasing
their representation and placing them on
an equality one with another. AS the del
egates from all the territories viii be for
free silver, no matter what report on the
question Of the admission of the extra del
egates may be made by the COMMITTEES
on credentials, it is practically certain
that the convention viii approve of their
being seated. 1t win be seen that the

majority by 80 votes; $40 votes will eonsti-
tute two-thirds of the convention, where
