Why Smiths Horse Didn't
Stand the Test.

John Smith, the horse break
er, rode into the village on a
mettlesone colt, which he had
lust broken to the saddle, says a
writer in Judy Half way down
the street he espied friend on
the walk, aud rode up for a
moments chat. The friend OBJ
served:
Il don't half like his eye;
shows too much white, sure to
be restire he's a kind it's hard
to break; look out for him,
John.'
But John retorted carclessly:
"Pooh! He's all right. I'm
not afraid OF him. I've broken
him thoroughly
"Maybe," may be- assented
the friend provokingly "but
watch out, man, watch out A
sudden noise, and then"
"I'll bet you cant scare him.
Smith asserted. See here, III
show you how to manage him.
You get behind those steps. Ill
go up the street, and then turn
and gallop down. When | get
opposite you, jump out and
shout Boo! and wave your arms
Then We'll see"
The friend consented TO make
the interesting experiment, and
retired be hind the steps. Smith
forth with went at a trot TO the
head of the street, there turned
charged down at full speed
When the horse and rider were
nearly opposite the steps, the
friend leaped forth. He sprane
before the colt, swung his arm:
wildly, and shouted with all hi:
power.
The result as sudden aut
sufficient. The horse performed
amazing acrobalic feats, so sNit

INSURGENTS OCCUPY
CADIZ.
1t is a Town in the PHILIPPINES
of Over 1900 lnhabl-
tantS,

The long Kong newspapers
having asserted that the attitude
of the Germans there was hostile
to the Insurgents. the Germans
of Manila have circulated a
statement saying the Germans
are thoroughly friendly toward
the Filipinos. This statement
is signed by the German Consul
and the German firms. The
natives infer that the Germans
are favolable to the independent
faction.
Advices from Cadiz say the
Spaniards have abandoned that
town and that 500 insurgents
with eight cannon advanced ups
on it on Mover mber 24th.
Cadlz is a city and is the caps
ital OF the province of the same
name in the Island of Panay. 1t
is on the north coast Of the Is
land and is the residence of a
Governor. 1t is mostly
built of wood and is protected
by small fort. 1t has a popu>

The sooner cough or cold is cured
without harm to the sufferer the better.

LOSES A DIPHTHERIA PATIENT.
Christian Science Fails to ssvo a Child ~
Batavia. Ills.

Batavia, Ills. Jan. 24.-The death OF
the little child of Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome
Parce OF this city with no physician I'm
attendance has resulted in an investi-
cation by the coroner. Ministers are
denouncing the so-called Christian sci
ence from the pulpit and on the street
the people talk OF little else. Christian
science has lately gained large fol-
lowing here. and Mr.. and Mrs Parce
have been among it's devout adherents.
When their little daughter was taken
sick last week. instead OF doctor they
called in Miss Willette McCracken. who
attempted to combat diphtheria with
Christian science tenets, but without
avail.
The parents could not obtain physi-
clans certificate for a burial permit,
and Coroner Mead was sent for from
Geneva. The crusade Of the Batavia
clergy against Christian science has
been waged for some time past. The
doctrine has been denounced, and late
ly tracts under the sensational title Of
''Demonology," containing numerous
quotations from the Bible and a general
denunciation of Christian science, have
been circulated.
