Recel,% discoveries have demonstrated that
Iii the organs of the body are under the con-
troll Of the nerve Centers, located in or near
the base OF the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also derangcd. When it is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching. the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement OF the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various orgaM
which they supply with nerve force.

suCcuMBED TO GRIEF.
Horse Separated from His Mate Died In
a Short Time.

Horse Separated from His Mate Died In
Short Time.
The emotional life of a horse is re-
markable. There are instances on rec
ord where the death of the horse has
been traced directly to grief. One in
stance is called to mind, which occurred
more than 20 years ago. A circus had
been performing in the little town OF
Unionville, Pa, when one OF the trained
horses sprained one of his legs so that
he could not travel. He was taken to
the hotel and put in box stall. The
II leg was bandaged, and ne was made as
comfortable as possible.
He ate his food, and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out of town.
Then he became restless, and trampled
and whined. AS the caravan moved
past the hotel he seemed to realize that
he was being deserted, and his anxiety
and distress became pitiful. lie would
stand with his ears pricked in an atti-
tude of intense listening, and then as
his ear caught the sounds of the retir-
| ing wagons he would rush, as best he
could with his injured leg, from one
side of the stall to the other, pushing at
the door with his nose and making every
effort to escape. The stableman, who
was a stranger to him, tried to sooth
him, but to no purpose. He would NOT
be comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus
had ceased his agitation continued.
The sweat poured from him in streams
and he quivered in every part OF his
body. Finally the stableman went tn
the house, woke up the proprietor and
told him he believed the horse would
die if some of the circus horses were
| not brought back to keep him company
Al about daylight the proprietor
mounted horse and rode after the cir
cus. He overlook it ten or twelve miles
| away. and the groom who had charge
of the injured horse returned with him.
When they reached the stable the horse
was dead.
| The stableman said that he remained
for nearly an hour perfectly still and
with every sense apparently strained
TO the utmost tension, and then, with
out making sign, fell and died with
scarcely a struggle. The veterinarian
who was recalled remarked after the
circumstances were told him that un'
ouestionably the horse died from grief
If It is possible for all the mental facul
ties of the horse to become abandoned

death, how much more does he appea

the crook of his arm and sobs came
fast, sobs that shook him from head to
foot. The general drew him aside, sat
down in an armchair, and, taking the
little hanging hand in his own, said:
"There, there, stop crying and tell me
all about it,"
Maurice choked down his sobs and
told his story. At his fathers name
the general rose quickly.
"Col. Terraine's son! Why, then,
your father was here a short time ago
he may be upstairs now!"
Maurice forgot even the great chief
and sprang for the door. But Wash
ington caught him by the arm.

will CO."
Maurice stood still in the center Of
the room and pressed his hands hard
together. The general went out and
upstairs; it seemed to Maurice that he
stepped very slowly.
Col. Terraine sat in an upstairs room
writing; he laid down his pen and rose
as the general entered.
Colonel" said Washington, II have
some wonderful news for you." He
paused; the officer took step for
ward and opened his lips, but did not
speak.
"Come downstairs with me-" con-
tinued the general, slowly, "and remem-
Der as you go that passage in the
Scriptures: But the father said: let
us be merry, for this my SOM Col.
Terraine caught the back of chair
"'for this my SON" went on the
sweet, grave voice, twas dead, and is
alive again; he was lost and is found.''
Col. Terraine stood an instant with
wide, questioning eyes; then he rushed
through the doorway and down the
stairs. The general followed him quick
ly. There was loud cry as the colonel
entered the room and Maurice sprang
into his fathers arms. Gen. Washing.
ton closed the door and stood guard
over it himself. Barney, having es-
capped from the soldier, tore in, and the
general stopped from his great height
| to pat the little dog. If Barney had
been man he would have seen that
there were tears in the bright blue eyes.
