To the Point.

Africa always has been afflicted with
drought, and among the Beers prayers
are regularly offered up-usually when
the drought already has begun-for
relief from this evil, and the author of
ION Veldt and Farm tells story of a
pastor who pointed out the futility of
assisting people who would not assist
themselves. a Presbyterian congrega-
ton once pointed out to the minister
that, in view of the impending drought,
it were well to approach the Almighty
on the subject of the rainfall. II will
not insult the Almighty" replied the
sturdy Scot, by asking such favor
of Him, after the way in which you
have let His past mercies run away
from YOU" The rebuke was leveled at
the inadequacy of the water storage.
and it is to be hoped was not without
due effect.-Youth's Companion.

Gastronomio Freaks Of Kansas
City Cart Horse.

sageAAn Account of His
Star Performance.

This is the story told by the Kansas
City journal of horse owned in that
city that has developed fondness for
fresh meat, and has allowed that taste
to get away so far with his Judgment
that recently he ate number of chick.
ems he found in coop and topped off
his feast with litter of bull pups for
single meal.
The horse is a large roam, seven years
old, owned by Lee Bowers, produce com
mission man at AIS Walnut street. The
horse is driven over the city hitched to
one of Mr.. Bowers wagons each day.
SO far as his willingness to work is con-
cerned, he is model, but when his
tastes are concerned he is monster.
The animal was bought four years ago
from Capt. Tough at the stock yards
barns. He was one of n shipment from
Brown county, Kan. He weighs about
1900 pounds and is a handsome, sleek
fellow, strong of limb and bright eyed.
He has been driven since coming into
Mr., Bowers possession by Martin Ack-
ernan, who says that he can pull more
and longer and behave better than any
other horse in the city. There is one
other strange thing about the animal.
He will not allow a man to strike him.
No matter what he does or who at
tempts it, the man who hits him has to
fly for his life. A few days since Acker-
man struck the horse with a stick in
putting him in the barn. The blow was
tap, not intended for punishment, but
it made the big fellow mad. He turned
and came tearing at the man, who bare
ly had time to get out of his way. For
five minutes the animal kept charging
about the barn half crazed with de-
sire to get at the man who hit him.
Finally he was quieted and went to his
stall alone.
The strange habits of the horse were
discovered first by his driver. One
morning the wagon was driven down to

BICYCLE GOSSIP.

A squad of cyclists known as ''pio-
neers" is attached to every corps of
cavalry now in the German army.
Around Copenhagen all cyclists are
obliged, under penalty of fine, it is
said, to walk their bicycles down hill,
no matter how small the incline.
1t is now being argued that tangent
spokes are a mistake, and that straight
spokes are really stronger. This is a
return to first principles, as the early
makes of bicycles had straight spokes.
An attachment to the bicycle has
been invented which enables the rider
to tell if the wheels of his bicycle are
in line. The average rider never gives
this matter a thought, but it is really of
great importance, and if the wheels do
not run true the fault should be re-
paired at once.
The perfect lamp has not yet been in
vented. The average amateur wheel
man wants something that win never
require cleaning. reflling or any other
attention; but il will be few CEN
turtles before he attains his desire.
