Eugene Fields Fondness For Children.
Eugene Field was man of gener-
Gus, tender spirit and boundless SYM
pathy. He gained and held the love
of little children and of men and
women; for in his writings he appealed
to young and old, and every gentle
nature responded to the magic of his
honest verse.
He was a great lover of animals.
and was constantly making pets of
them. He was very fond of birds, but,
as he disliked to see them Gagged, he
looked forward to the time when he
rould add to his new home a good con-
servatory, where the birds might find
a home and fly in and out among the
plants. After he had once become
attached to n pet of any kind, it was
exceedingly hard for him to give it up.
For several years he paid the board of
two old dogs at farm. Some of his
friends thought this a foolish expense;
but he said he would not have the
dogs killed, as they had been faithful
to him in their younger days, and he
did not believe in deserving old friends
Several years ago Jerusalem donkey
was given to the Field boys, and they
named it Don Cesar de Buena- After
they became too old to drive with him,
it was serious question what to do
with Don" For some time he was
boarded at a livery stable. His board
bill soon became quite a serious mat
ter. But Mr.. Field would not have
him sold, for fear that the children's
old comrade might fall into unkind
hands. At last Il friend in Kentucky
offered a home for the donkey, and
there he is now, spending his last days
in luxurious ease bluegrass

Animals Illusions.

Birds are perhaps more commonly the

their stupidity about their eggs being
quite remarkable. Last year, for in
stance, hen got into the pavilion Of a
ladies' golf club and began to sit on a
golf ball in corner, for which 1t made

chiefs But many quadrupeds are not
only deceived for the moment by ref1ec-
tions, shadows and such unrealities, but
often seem victims to illusions largely
developed by the imagination.
The horse. for instance, is one of the
bravest of animals when face to face
with dangers which il can understand,
such as the charge Of an elephant or a
wild boar at bay. Yet the courageous
and devoted horse, so steadfast against
the dangers he knows, is q prey to q

to illusions, mainly those Of sight, for

gains complete possession Of his soul,
are caused, as q rule, by mistakes as to
what the horse sees. and not by misin-
depreciation Of what he hears. 1t is no
ticed, for instance. that many horses
which shy usually start away from OBJ
jects on one side more frequently than
from objects on the other This is prob
ably due to defects in the vision of one
or other eye.
In nearly all cases of shying the horse
takes fright at some unfamiliar object,
though this is commonly quite harm
less, such as wheelbarrow upside
down, freshly felled log or piece Of
paper rolling before the wind. This in
stantly becomes an illusion, is inter
preted as something else. and it is Gu
rious question in equine homeopathy to
know what it is that the horse figures
these harmless objects to be. When
Russian ponies first began to be shipped
to Harwich. they usually objected to
pass near a donkey. This reluctance
was explained on the hypothesis that
the ponies seldom saw donkeys in Rus

this injury to Andres monument, de-

still Searching the Lake.
Funeral Of the Murdered Man 20 he
Held Tomorrow Afternoon AT
O'Clock.

The authorities were busy all day yes
terday seeking for Demonthier's body
and in the afternoon Sheriff Dunn pro-
cured some dynamite and tried to raise
the body by that means. but the lake has
80 lar not given up the dead.
The fact that Demonthier was known
to be an expert swimmer makes many
persons believe that after he struck the
water he swan ashore and is now IN hid
ing In case this should proveto be true,
the sheriff has telegraphed description
OF the man to the most likely points he
would make for. However, from the
statements OF the Mr.. Bodette, OF whom
the NEWS spoke yesterday, it would ap-
pear most likely that the body is still in
the lake. Mr.. Bodette has not been very
long from Canada and does not speak
English, but the NEwsreporter, by means
OF Mr.. Bodette's brother, gathered that
when on the draw, or just south OF it, on
bis road to Houghton, he heard the pistol
shots and shortly afterwards a man
passed him very hurriedly and on looking
back saw the person Chamber oyer the
rail there are bloody finger marks on
the rail- and Jump into the lake. The
man says that when the body struck the
water it appeared to be doubled up and
not AZ il n person, who was a swimmer
had dived; he saw the body rise and as he
claims all was then quiet, 1t is most likely
the body then sunk, as ii would be al
most impossible for person to swim
ashore without Bodette, who was listen
ing, hearing the ripple of the water.
The pistol is not, it appears, fOrthcom-
ing; there was rumor that pistol was
seen near the body, but az we understand
it such was not the case, at least II it was
the authorities report they have not been
able to get hold Of it,; another report is
that boy saw man running and as he
was doing so he placed something ia his
pocket. This may have been the pistol
and il the body is found it may so prove.
Mrs. Sheldon was waiting supper for
her husband and when Mr.. George Quirk
went to apprise her OF the tragedy, she
evidently had received some premonition,
as she met him with the question, "Is it
George or Felix"
The funeral OF Mr.. Sheldon will take
place tomorrow Sunday afternoon at
O'Clock and will be in charge OF Hough-
ton Lodge, F. & A. NJ, the members OF
which lodge and OF the sister lodges are
requested to meet at the Houghton lodge
room at l o'clock sharp, in order to at
tend services.
Much COMMUNICATION is felt for Demon
theirs widow, il she is one, as well as for
the Sheldon family generally, as the sud-
den termination, and in such manner
of a life which had such opportunities,
must, indeed, be sad blow to them.
