Very Original.

A Cleveland family was in court the
other day. A daughter was one of the
witnesses, and she had this cheerful tale
to tell of her father. who is man of
the most daring originality, if the story
is true:
.sPa was sitting in his saloon, feeling
lonely. He went to the barn and, put
ting a halter on his horse, brought him
into the house, saying he wanted the
animal to eat supper with him. Pa
made me set plate for the horse.
Then he took hold of the horses front
legs and lifted them up on the table.
We all sat down to supper and the
horse began to eat. Pa picked up a
mug Of beer and began to laugh and
threw both hands in the air. The mug
hit the horse on the nose. The beast
pulled its feet down. dragging the table
cloth and upsetting the table. The horse
backed up and sat squarely on red-hot
stove. This burned it's tail, SO the ami
NAL kicked the stove over and ran out
of the door. I screamed and pa threw
a lamp at me. The house came near
catching fire and a policeman came in.
Pa has been arrested 10S times.-Indian-

A Novel Horn Band.

An enoromus crowd fills the museum
court and neighboring square at Copen-
hagen every midsummer day to listen
to unique concert. A number of an
cient Scandinavian horns, more than
1000 years old, called ''luren," are kept
in the museum. Of this collection four
teen are in good condition. They have
an elegant shape, and the fat metal
plates at the mouthpiece show good tech
nical perfection and a. DEVELOPED taste. for.
art. They are In different pieces fitted
together They were found buried in
moorland, and their good preservation
is believed to be due to the turfy water.
They are of very thin metal, and gem
orally seven feet long. They were al
ways found in pairs, the one in tune with
the other.
A few years ago it was found out by
DIR. Hammerich that they could still be
blown or played upon. Their tones re-
sembled those of the tenor horn, and
they have soft, but powerful sound
Some are tuned in G and e sharp, others
in D, e or G., and these tones form an
accord, but no scala" On the balcony
in the court of the palace in which is
kept the Northern museum, two mem
bers of the ''capella" blow tunes on two
of these primeval horns to the delight of
the inhabitnats.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

A shark as q Pet.

G. w. Fife has net. It is shark,
hatWeens six and seven feet, long, which
weighs about 250 pounds. Mr. Fife was
trolling in the bay Tuesday afternoon:
He had rowed within short distance of
the Northern Pacific wharves when he
saw the monster swimming on top of
the water and coming directly toward
the boat He had a spear lying. in the
bottom of the boat which he picked up,
and as the fish came within reach made
lunge at it, striking it "amidships,',
to use the nautical term that ne applied
in telling of the fracas. The shark made
a bold dash for freedom, but the !gleeful
fisherman began pulling in the line at
tached to the spear, and after some lit
tie trouble succeeded in tying q rope
around the tail of the fish. Then began
the task of towing it to the boathouse. !.
The shark was attached to the stern of
the boat and for time tried to take the
tow in the opposite direction and Mr..
Fife began thinking he would have to
veil for steam, tug. FINALLY, the, fish
gave ZIP its idea of going around
Browns point and shortly afterward
Mr.. Fife had the satisfaction of tying 1T
up at Ayers boathouse, where it now
is. He went down to the boathouse and
fed it yesterday. 1t eats heartily and
appears to be making the best Of its con-
fnement.-Tacoma Ledger.
