have seen in port of Normandy the
most curious, the most touching ex-
ample of that effect, which the influ-
ence of memory, evoked by we'll
known air, can produce upon certain
old horses.
1t was at st. ValerNau-Caux. An
unhappy animal which resembled the
Rosinante of Don Quixote was breath
ing hard as it drew heavy load over the
uneven pavement of the market place.
The poor beast, all in a perspiration,
stopped at the end of his strength. The
carter, furious, showered blows of the
whip upon his flanks. Some sailors, no
doubt enchanted to sec the embarrass-
ment of "'land lubber," joked and
laughed at the spectacle. A trumpeter
of cavalry was passed with his instru-
ment. This soldier evidently loved ami
mails, for he could not contain his in
dignation at the sight Of the bad treat
ment which the carter was giving the
horse, and demonstrated with its master.
"Sir," said to the trumpeter, "in-
stead of further exasperating this man,
don't you think we could do better by
trying to push a wheel?"
The idea seemed good to him. and we
united our efforts to make the wagon
move, but half way up the ascent the
horse fell upon its knees.
"That's what comes of buying horses
which are no longer good for service in
the army" cried the carter. At this ex.
clamation an idea come to the trum-
peter.
"He has then served in the cavalry p
he asked quietly.
bah, it was not in the marines, sup
rose," laughed the carter.
Every well. then, keep an pushing
we'll see."
And putting his trumpet to his mouth
the trumpeter sounded the charge.
At the well-known sound of that
martial air the noble animal opened
wide its nostyils, raised its ears, then
with sonorous neighing, stood up OF
its feet.
Electrified with his remembrances, hi
went up with one bound the steep in
cline,and, his task accomplished, proud
ly stopped at the applause of the sailors
of the port, who were not laughing
now.
For all understood now; there existed
tie between them and this old servan

LUCK OF EpENHALL.

Rightful Owner.
To those who have read Longfellow's
fine ballad of "The Luck of Edenhall,"
or the poem by Schiller, from which
the American took his theme, it will
come as a surprise to be told that the
famous Luck" the glass Of crystal
tale" is still in existence and was not
shattered after all by its rash young
owner. In point of fact, there has just
been happily concluded in England a
ceremony intimately connected with
the Luck" and its fortunes.
The story goes that the Luck" Is a
magic cup given to an early Musgrave
by ST. Cuthbert. On one occasion tho
then knight Of Edenhall, being re,
turned from the chase, and feeling
athirst, sent a retainer to fill the goblet
at St. Cuthbert's we'll. The man was at
tackled on the margin of the well by a
great host OF evil spirits, who endeav-
ored to wrest from his hands the gift
of the enemy, St. Cuthbert. But Mus
graves retainer was stanch of heart as
we'll as sstout of frame. He resisted brave.
ly and in the end drove off his assail-
ants. Thereupon st. Cuthbert ap-
peared to him in the guise of palmer
from the holy land, and, complimenting
him highly on his progress against the
evil spirits, promised that so long as
the fragile drinking vessel remained

II care for nobody,
And nobody cares for ms"
Sang Tommy at play, in the sweet new hay
Where nobody could see.
So his mother made the fire,
And searched for the old hens nest,
While the sun from Its place overhead
Went sliding into the west.
She filled the water pail,
And picked the berries for tea,
And wondered down in her tender heart
Where her little boy could be.
Alone in the dim old barn,
Tommy grew tired of play,
When the cows came home and the shad
ows fell
Over the new-mown hay.
So into the kitchen he ran,
With noisy hi! vi! yIl
His mother had made him frosted cake;
She had made him a saucer pie.
So he gave her a loving hug

Ask Bhts Question Before Settling In.
New Locality.
In considering the features of any To-
cation, whether for permanent resi-
dence, temporary sojourn or summer
outing, there dre many questions that
are always asked, and on the replies to
them depend the decision. 1t is in
order to answer these inquiries in ad-
vance that prospectuses are issued, at
fractions advertised and summer-re-
sort hand-books are distributed.
what are your schools, churches
and stores? Is society agreeable? Are
surroundings elevated? Have you sew.
ers, gas, water and electric cars ?'-are
some of the questions asked before you
can determine on place of residence.
''Is the bathing good? Have you fishing
and boating, pleasant walks, shaded
lawns and conveniences for out-of-door
games? Is the table good ?"-and like
inquiries are made before selecting a
spot for summer recreation.
To these must now be added another,
which is often placed first in the list Of
interrogatories, no matter whether the
time is to be extended or very tran
sient. How are your roads? 1t is not
simply and alone that good roads are
wanted for wheeling-though that is an
important part of it-but the progress
iveness of any section is so readily
shown by the way it maintains its high
ways that people hesitate to go to any
place in which theroads are neglect
ed. The effect of better highways in
bringing summer tourists is beginning
to receive attention in the northern
New England states and other parts
of the country, and as soon as the nerve
| to the pocket is touched rapid advances
may be looked for In the meantime,
on inquiring regarding any place, let
the first question be: How are your
roads?--L. A. w. Bulletin and Good

For Several Months Willie Jones

Because 15-year-old Willie Jones, of
Buffalo, was tired Of school he ran away
from home last August and has lived
ever since In hole in the ground. The

a few wild west stories without the

He stole a shovel somewhere and worked
every night for over week digging and
hammering. The boy did all his work
in the night.
He finally completed the digging,
having made hole about four feet deep
and ten feet square. He had driven
down plnnks on all sides of the hole to
keep the clay from falling in, and had
the excavation covered over with
boards, over which he had placed bags
and mating, and the latter he covered
over with earth SO that passers-by
would not be apt to notice the place.

of reducing all expenditures to
the minimum. In his usual arbi-

refused to recognize bills for GER

made enemies among the repre-

entertain bills involving expendi-
lures of public moneys. 1t is not

the expenditures of the present

OF the most extravagant congress
on record. Whether or not his
