LEXINGTON, KY. Nov. 1.-The demand fo-

great that 1t has been impossible for the dealers
to I'll the orders. The two pawnshops were the
first to run out of pistols. and tonight there is
not a hardware store in the city at which a pis-
toll can be bought. The feeling between parti-
sans is intense, and trouble is expected to-mor-
row. But for the fact that the two principals
had been electioneering all day in the rain and
that their weapons were wet, a tragedy would
have been enacted at the Court House this
evening, John jenkins and Jim Hall drew and
each snapped his revolver several times before
friends could interfere, but neither of the weap-

Greetings.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times. Once il not enough.
II, however, they be persons of dis
tinction, they embrace and kiss one
another several times, and also kiss
their own hands. In Turkey the
salute is to place the hand upon the
breast and bow, which is both grace
full and appropriate.
In Burma, when man meets
woman, he puts his nose and mouth
close to her cheek and draws long
breath, as if inhaling delicious per-
fume. He does not kiss her cheek,
strange to say. A man is greeted in
exactly the same way.
In the greater part Of Germany it is
sidered an act OF politeness, not OF
gallantry, for man to kiss a woman's
hand. In Italy that privilege is al
lowed only to near relatives, while in
Russia it is extended to kissing the
forehead.
The men OF Continental Europe
have a custom that would seem queer,
not to say Imaginable. here. They
greet one another with kiss, if they
be friends, not on the cheek, but
right on the lips.

Important Animals.

There have recently died in Paris
two important personages, wealthy
cat and an illustrious dog. The former
rejoced in the name OF Bis and was
the lucky possessor Of fortune of ten
thousand francs, which had been
willed him by his former owner, a
widow named Lelievere. This sum
was deposited with the city, which
used the income it brought for the
maintenance Of the cut, which was
boarded out with certain janitress in
Paris. The latter was under contract
with the city to care properly for the

a large piece OF knife blade that Koch

hidden steel was practically forgotten.
Recently the knee became very pain.

Mans Best Friend,
First and foremost woman is mans
best friend

First and foremost woman is mans
best friend:
Because she Is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because, without her he would be
rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she can with him endure
pain quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because she is patient with him in
illness, enduIes his frotfulness and
"mothers" him.
Because she teaches him the value
OF gentle words, of kindly thought and
of consideration.
Because on her breast he can shed
tears of repentance, and he is never
reminded of them aiterward.
Because she will stick to n man
through good and evil report, and al.
ways believe in him, if she loves him.
Because, when he is behaving like a
fretiul boy--and they oil do, you
know, Mt times-with no reason in the
world for it, woman's soft word, touch
or glance, will make him ashamed of
himself, as he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive,
he would grow lazy; there would be
no good work done, there would be
no noble books written, there would
be no beautiful pictures painted, there
would be no divine strains of melody.

HORSES ON VACATIONS.

Those Of the Boston Police Department
Get Two or Three Weeks Each.
The police commissioners of Boston
have decided that, inasmuch as the
horses in the department bear their
proportionate part of the hard work,
they a. well as the men shall have
vacations in the summer. To that
end they have arranged that every
horse shall enjoy two, and in some
instances three weeks vacation.
Three large pastures have been Sc
cured by the department, two in
Brighton and one in Dorchester, md
as the horse arrives its shoes are teken
of, and it is allowed to roam a. will,
coming into the stable only at night.
The grass in the pastures, though OF
the best quality, is not the horses
sole food; at supper time the horses
get the regular measure Of grain.
The animals seem TO enjoy their va
cations immensely, and horses show.
ing plainly the effect of their hard
work in the department have been
returned after their country sojourn
vastly improved.
When it is taken into consideration
that the police department owns
seventy-two horses. it will be seen
that the allowing of vacations is q con-
siderable undertaking, even without
the item of expense. Ten years age
the department had but twenty-five
horses. At present, in addition to
those in the well-trained mounted
force, the department has about thirty
horses engaged in the signal depart
ment. Every station house in the
city, with two exceptions, has at least
two horses, and where ambulances
are used, three. Then the depart
ment has eleven driving horses, which
are used exclusively by the commits
sioners and the superintendent.
The horses of the mounted force
are the best that can be procured, and
are wonderfully intelligent and active,
and exhibitions by the mounted force
have become n very popular feature
Of the annual horse shows. The
horses of the signal department also
are well trained, and instances have
heen recorded where some of them
have exhibited almost human intelli-
gence. 1t is said, and sworn to by
the drivers Of one Of the downtown
stations, that one of the horses as
signed to that station, knows perfectly
tho location OF the patrol boxes, and
when the number of box is truck on
the Taper win go directly to it with.
ont any guidance whatever.
The veteran of the department is
horse attached to the Lagrange street
station, known as Niger. This is
wonderfully intelligent animal, and
has been drawing patrol wagon
every day for nine years, and until
this year has never had a day of by
reason of sickness or for any other
cause. Niger Is one Of those now

An Unlimited Guest.

Unlike the honey bees, the humble
bee queens, to their credit be il said,
are not of a jealous disposition, but
live peacefully together in one nest
until in the autumn the family breaks
up, the old queens, workers and
drones perishing, while the young
queens, forsaken and alone, crawl
away TO some protected spot wherein
to pass the winter, and reappear in
spring and found another colony.
If you should examine humble
bees nest you would probably find
among our busy, hard working friends
n number OF individuals who never
labor for their living, and, although
they come and go with perfect freedom,
never bring pollen or honey, for aid
in making wax. These are the guest
bees" or inquillines, species which
depend on their host the bumblebee
to furnish them board and rooms rent
free.
The inquillnes, like the European
cuckoo or the American cow-bunting
among birds, lay their eggs by stealth
in the bumblebee' nests. The young,
when hatched, are cared for by their
foster parents, and when full grown
are treated with as much considera-
ton as though they were guests of
honor. Why the bumblebees should
permit their unlimited visitors to re-
main with them il q mystery, for al
though some species. closely resemble
