Barbed Wire and stock.

We cannot object too much 10 the use
of barbed wire for fences for stock.
Some years ago we were riding across
the Dakota plains in a train. 4 herd
of cattle became frightened at the train,
and some of them made break for the
barbed wire fence. None of them tried
to get over except calf. The poor
ANNA got partly over the wire and was
held there by the barbs. AS the train
went out of sight the creature was seen
still held fast by the same prongs. AS
there was no help in sight, we can
not know the suffering occasioned the
dumb brute. This is doubtless only
one case of the thousands, but it shows
the inhurlanity of man. Let us dis
courage the barbed-wire 5arbarism.-

THE MARE LIKED FUNERALS.
How a Lady Was PerpIexed and Mortified
by Her Horse.


Several years ago" said Alderman
James c. Gilbert to a Courier-JournaI
man, II had a tenant downtown who
died, leaving a wife and helpless fam
lily. Their only property consisted of
an old mare, and more to oblige the IN
than anything else l bought the mare.
She was gentle and my wife adopted her
for her own driving and was much
pleased for awhile, as the old mare was
so gentle that my wife could drive her
about town herself.
1T seemed, however, that the old
mare had once belonged to an old lady
over in Albany who had a mania on the
subject of funerals and made a point
never TO miss one. The old mares prin
cipal occupation for years had been TO
follow funeral professions to the GENE
teries. One day my wife was driving
down The street, when she suddenly en-
countered a negro funeral, followed by
number of societies with all the par
apherlalia OF an imposing cortege.
THE old mare recognized the process
sion at glance and calmly turned into
the line OF the parade. In vain my wife
tugged at the reins and tried to turn
cut. The old mare knew her business.
and with head hung down sohmnly
followed close behind the mourners
Occasionally they would meet with an
acquaintance of ours. and they looked
with surprise at the tribute which my
wife was apparently paying 10 the de.
ceased until my wife was frantic with
modification and anger.
AT every crossing she would appeal 10
by-standers to stop the I'D mare. but
they didn't seem to understand. until az
last they passed policeman, who. in re
sponse TO my wife's fearful appeals.
stopped the old mare and dragged her
out of the procession, much to her sur
prise and disgust. OF course, had
good laugh over it. but it was no la Oh
ing matter with my wife. and had no
peace until sold that old mare. and got
her out Of sight for good."-Louisville

1t has been estimated by one who ha >

that the roots of single corn plant, if
placed end to end lengthwise, will ex-
tend fully one mile. OF course, this in
cIudes all the rootlets, and demo 1strates

root capacity and enable them to seek
