A little Massachusetts, girl tells the
following story of her wonderful horse:
This is a true story of Mary's horse.
He was just as black as a coal all over,
except q pretty white star on his fore
head.
Once in two or three weeks Mary
had him take tea with her and her little
brother and sisters. She went to the
stable where he lived with Kate and
Nell, two pretty twin ponies, and said
to him:
"'Come, jack Don't you want some
tea?'
AT that he came right up to her, and
found cut the buttons on her dress and
tried to pull them off and then united
her apron strings.
Now, Jack Mary said tea is all
ready. Come along-and he followed
her along the sidewalk to the back
door and up the three steps into the
house.
What a clatter his iron shoes mads
along the entry to the dining room.
Harry and Annie and Fanny rushed
out, crying:
"'Oh, mamma. Here's Jack coming
to tea'
Then mamma filled a large bowl
with tea, put in plenty of milk and
three or four pieces of white sugar CfoI
Jack had a sweet TOOTH and cut slice
of bread into pieces and put it on plate
with doughnut or piece Of ginger
bread. And Mary said: Now, Jack,
come UP to the table,
You see, he was too big to sit in
chair, but he came close up to the table
and stood there and drank his tea with
out stopping any over and ate up his
bread ard cake. And when he had
done, what do you think he did? Why,
he went up to the piano that stood in
the corner Of the room and smelled the
keys and looked around at Mary. That
was to ask her to play tune before he
went home.
Then she said:
"'Oh, you dear Jack. I know what
you want"
And she sat down and played some
merry tune, while he pricked up his
ears and put his nose down close to her
fingers, he was so pleased. Then he
rubbed her shoulder with his nose, and
Mary played another tune for him.
Now, jack mamma said, you've
had a nice time, but you must go back
to your stable. Kate and Nell will miss
you if you stay longer
Then Mary opened the dining room
door, and Jack followed her down the
! long entry and out to the stable, just
like dog"

was clearly shown by the ract that
when you patted it on the head it would
wag its tail; thereby showing not only
that it understood the kind treatment,
hut that it was pleased with it all
through. But observed that when I
smoke to the dog when it was not look
ing at me, it paid no attention. This
was surprising, and at first rather dis
turbing, but the dog seemed in other
RESPECTS so kindly that l did nothing
about il.
"One day when a German friend OF
mine was visiting me, and when l had
called the dog with the usual result,
asked my friend to call him to see If
he would mind him any better. He did
call, and naturally enough, being
German, he called in German. To our
great surprise the dog turned and came
joyously bounding toward us. The
simple fact was that the dog understood
the universal kindness of touch and
eye, but the only spoken language he
knew was German, from when coun-
try. as subsequently learned, he had
been imported only about ten days be-
fore l bought him.
"The only question now was whether
I should teach the dog English, or
whether I should learn German. i
thought it would be easier for me to
learn a new language than for the dog,
and that is how I came to take I'D tho
study of German"

Converted When Children.

Many of the brightest lights in the
history of Christianity have been con-
verified in early life. Some one gives a
few examples as follows: The bright
est lights in the churches were con-
verified in early life. Adam Clarke, the
commentator, was converted at four
years of age. His influence will shine
in the moral heavens while the sun
shines in the natural heavens. Alfred
Goodman, the great reyiyalist, was con-
verted at ten years OF age. He will
shine in the kingdom Of God as the
stars in the armament Of heaven for
ever and ever, and thousands will rise
in the judgment and call him blessed
Isaac Watts, the great poet, was con-
verted at the age of nine years. His in
fuenco will be felt through the endless
ages Of eternity. Robert Hall was COLI
verted at twelve, Jonathan Edwards
at seven, and William Penn at nine.

United States Consul Seymour, writ
ing from Canton, informs the state de-
partment of the inauguration OF a war
on freight rates between Asiatlc ana
American ports by British steamers
reaching the East from New York via
the Suez canal. Writing on the lth OF
September, he said that the Annandale,
a ship of 1000 tons burden, had lett
Hong Kong the week before direct tor
New York via this route, and that the
Nestor, another large British ship, was
then taking cargo for New York TO
he taken through the canal.
The price per ton charged By these
vessels to New York is about $6, or less
than one-fourth of what shippers pay
who transport overland from New YORK
IN the Pacific coast and thence to emma
and Japan by any of the established
pacific steamship lines. The trip
through the canal on steamers has the
advantage Of consuming only about
half the time taken by sailing vessels,
which are the vehicles generally en-
ployed for cheap transportation by the
Pacific route in making the trip TO
China and Japan. Mr.. Seymour ex-
presses the opinion that this competl-
zion Is certain TO injure the trans-Fa-
cIilc business of the Pacific coast. lie
suggests a seml-monthly line Of Amer.
lcan steamers between New York and
Eastern Asia.

AND NOW THEY'RE SORRY.

Members of the Loyal Legion Experience
Feeling of Remorse That They
Dropped Mr.. Ingalls,.
LEAvENwoRTH, Jan. I0.-Gossip re-
garding the dropping of ex- United States
Senator John J. Ingalls, name from the
membership roll of the Loyal Legion of
Kansas is by no means dying out. 1t Is
rather on the increase in certain direc-
tions. Some people cannot be convinced
that there was no politics in il.
Most members of the Loyal Legion
who live in Leavenworth and at Fort
Leavenworth and also at the Soldiers
Home and Lansing, feel very much cha
gFinned now that all is over and it is ever
lastingly too late to apply a remedy. Re-
action has come in the form of genuine
regret, for no power on earth can ever
make Dir. Ingalls, a companion of the
Loyal Legion again. Said we'll known
member of the Loyal Legion yester-
day:
ave feel just about as badly over this
matter as we could feel 1t was very I'M
fortunate for US as we'll as Mr.. Ingalls,
that the thing came up at the time and
in the shape that it did. Mr.. ingalls,
gave US no other way out; it was a vote
TO accept his resignation or nothing. I
feel quite sure now, however, that if the
matter had been deferred till the next
regular meeting of the Loyal Legion Mr..
Ingalls, name would not have been
dropped There were a number of noes
when the vote was taken"
