they do not inform py Tuesday it is my
intention to inform Miss Nolan, the
principal, and let her investigate. The
boys or some one made mistake in say
ing that shut them out of the classroom
and refused 10 let them return to their
studies. l believe that by Tuesday some
of the boys will tell me all about the
matches, for l have always found boys of
their ages to be honorable.
In this case there will be no punish
ment administered. All we want is to

Matters of Punishment.
Judge Carroll Cook some time ago an
nounced that he made distinction be-
tween burglary cases; that he was not
disposed TO be so severe on persons con-
victed of entering stores or other unoccu-
pied building as he would be if the Grim e
were committed by entering private resi-
dences where families were living, thus
jeopardizing human life.
Following this theory he yesterday sem
tenced Joseph Mahi to serve six months

izing the warehouse of the Pacific Mail

SHORT OF AVAILABLE FUNDS.
Postal Employees Paid Off in Nickels

and Dimes.
About 800 employees of the Postoffice
were paid off yesterday, mostly in nickels
and dimes. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
payment was suspended until 5 o'clock,
until sufficient deposits on money orders
had been made to pay off the remainder.
This peculiar episode was due to the
fact that the late Postmaster MCCorpin
had deposited between 100000 and $40. 900
in the United States sub-treasury, and
Postmaster Doyle's check could not be
used without authority from Washington.
Some of the money was to be used to pay
off old debts of the office.

Determined to Die.

Early this morning one of the clerks of the
Ahlborn House detected the odor OF gas on the
third floor, and found that the suffocating
fluid came from the room of A. Rauer, a
blacksmith.
The door was forced open ana Rauer was
discovered hanging by the neck and uncon-
scious. He was cut down and sent to the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
The rash man had made a desperate at
tempt at suicide. He had cut his throat,
sashed his wrists, turned on the gas and
hanged himself with small piece OF rope.
He was not expected to live al last accounts.

Purchase of a stallion.

Having been asked for an opinion re-
garding the purchase Of a stallion. and
requested to state whether / should adj
wise such a transaction under present
conditions. or await further develop
ments in the way Of renewed confidence
and higher prices. We submit the fol-
lowing: At a not very remote period IL
appeared to be the prevailing opinion
among those persons interested in the
welfare Of the light harness horse in
dustry that one Of the most certain
methods Of securing q competency was
70 purchase a well bred stallion and
offer his services to the dear and IN
suspecting public at SO much by the
season, says a writer in Western Horse
man. A few men did make the BUSH
ness par out very well for a short
series of years. but the large majority
OF persons similarly engaged fell far
short of their expectancy. In other
words, their plans suffered a miscaT-
riage, OF else died abornin'. Many an
air castle went up in smoke, and a
large number Of would be great sires
have since been added to the list Of
seryiceable geldings. and are now en-
gagged in the honorable pursuit OF earn
ing their oats and hay by the sweat Of
their collar. However. the present Is
a very suitable period for the purchase
of a stallion, as the price at which a
really good horse can be obtained is
within the reach OF any ambitious own
er. II is not the fad to purchase 2 or 3
year-old colts at a price running into
the thousands simply to tell ones
friends or the public that the youngster
Is a trotter to the manor born, a Talua-
BILE piece Of horse flesh, az he cost me
$1,000 at Gen. Blue Blood's, in Ken
lucky" Such a recommendation was
all that was needed eight or ten years
since in order to make most any kind
of a stallion profitable. There were
hundreds Of colts sold by Kentucky
breeders and dealers, at what would
now be termed fabulous prices, that
paid for themselves and their breeding
the first season they were shipped
north. And yet the majority OF these
colts would be worthless were they
placed upon the market today az geld
ihgs. while az stations, no one would
class them as such. 1t may be possible
that well bred stallions can be pur-
chased as cheaply in the future as now
but we doubt 1t. To owa q
stallion is one thing, but II
make himself supporting or even capa.
BILE of earning a reasonable rate OF in.
terest on the purchase is quite another
Even during the dull times since 1893
a few owners have been able TO maxi
such a showing, while still fewer hay'
done better. Every horseman Is no
calculated by nature or habit to becoml
a successful stallion manager. Their
may be found men In every county o
this union that can make any kind o
a stallion profitable. Some, Of course
more profitable than others. Such mel
are not taken down "off the HOOK" lk
so much copy for a hungry ~typesettini
machine, but are born that way" Gu
advice to the friend who suggestel
these lines is. TO consider well tn
chances for and against success, and
willing to make a venture, why. do 8
