Horse Addicted to Liquor.

Topeka, Kansas, possesses curios-
ity in the shape Of horse addicted to
the liquor habit. The equine tippler
is Dan, one Of the team used on the
patrol wagon Of the city police depart
ment. Dan has been in the habit of
taking his daily grog for number of
years, but the matter has always been
kept secret among the men having
charge Of him. He acquired the habit
as many people have, through having
it prescribed by the veterinary during
spell of sickness. Under the use Of
the stimulant the horse recovered.
When he was given the first dose he
rebelled, and it was only with the aid
of force that it was administered. He
gradually acquired taste for it, which
grew into an Unsuitable appetite.
The officers continued the doses long
after the equine patient recovered.
Frequent raids on the joints in the
city, where all liquor found was con-
fscated: furnished ample opportunity
for the patrol driver to indulge Dan S
appetite.
1t came to be expected that the
horse was to receive his allowance of
a half pint before each meal. He be-
came so accustomed to this that he
would refuse to eat and paw the floor
when his keeper neglected him. On
July l the police department changed
hands, and Topeka has been the scene
of temperance crusade ever since.
The practice Of giving whiskey to
Dan was discontinued; he lost con-
siderable flesh and became incapaci-
tated for duty on the wagon. In Or
der to test the matter his present
driver has been giving him his allow
ance for the past four days. He began
showing signs of recovery and is again
at work. Those who have watched
the horse say that he is as graceful a
drinker as any man and that he does
not require Chaser Within the
past two weeks Dan has commenced
the use of chewing tobacco and now
uses as much of the weed as the ma
jority of Chicago Chronicle.

ssPinin' for a Sweet Kiss"

Back in the North Carolina noun
tains the student of customs may still
find material for research. The most
remarkable are the kissing games,
which still cling to the soil. A lot Of
big-limbed, powerful young men and
apple-cheeked, buxom girls gather and
select one of their number as master
of ceremonies. He takes his station
in the center of the room, while the
rest pair off and parade around him.
Suddenly one young woman will throw
up her hands and say
"I'm a-pinin'.
The master of ceremonies takes it
up, and the following dialogue and in
terlocution takes place:
''Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says
shes a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabel-
la Jane Apthrop a-pinin' fur ?"
