ARcHER's FAvORITE HORSE.
b Story OF the Famous Jockey and
the St-eepiechaser Fatigue.

Archer, the celebrated jockey, was
riding in = stcs plechase, his mount being
a horse called Fatigue. Tie man was
fond Of the horse, which returned lis
affection with liberal interest. At the
last fence the horse fell ard b-cl,e his
leg. ArcEer. though CT coarse thrown,
fell away from tie horse, and was not
badly hart. The pathetic scene that fol-
lowed Is described ty Vogue:
lie started away to deliver news Of
the accident and arrange to have the
horse Shot, bit vas stepped BY hearing
Q whinry. Peer Fatigue could only lift
his head, but he was looking after and
calling the rider he loved SO well.
Archer returned to the horse, and sitting
down On the turf, took the poor Great
ure's head il his lap, and sent q boy
with a message fer what was necessary.
Meanwhile the horse lay still, except
for an occasional spasrn of pain.
no one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue.
A small hoy finally volunteered, if 10
else wculd, but he'd "a hear ruthcr
not" When the pistol was finally given
him his small hands trembled SO that
Archer tooi1 the weapon from him, say
ing:
You're nervous, lad; you'll bungle
it. He sha'n't have his pain added to.
He'll never know what Pat him cut Of
his misery" Addressing the horse, he
addsd, IF I wasn't fond of You I
couldn't bring myself to do it; but you
sha MT run risks Of being hurt more"
With L hand he caressed the horses
head, with the other he put the pistol
to the forehead.
Coed by. Fatigue, old chap, good
by. and he pulled the trigger.
Fatigne hardly struggled, but settled
down. dead, with his head still on his
fayorite riders lap; and Archer sat
quite still till the last culver was over,
his head bowed, and did not notice that
the red was staining his clothes. .

Glass Comns.

Local undertakers are interested in
the proposition Of al Indiana company
TO manufacture glass ccffins on a large
scale. George F. Kimball. the plate
glass manufacturer. states that the idea
is entirely practicable, and that collins
can be made rem glass much more
cheaply than from wood. Mr.. Kimball
thought that such collins could be con-
structed i'll the cheaper grades for not
more than 80 cents a running foot. Cot
fms made from glass would be much
more durable than metallic caskets, and
their extreme cheapness would cause
their adoption extensively in cases where
death is due to contagious diseases, III
