ELECTRICITY FoR BALkY HORSES
Sure Cure Method Approved by the
Humane Society.

A Pennsylvania gentleman owned a
horse that would have been valuable but
for what seemed ineradfcanle vice OF
baking. says the Youths Companion. A
friend suggested that electricity might
cure him.
The gentleman purchased small stor-
age battery, connected II hy wires 10 the
bit and crupper and placed II in the cart
10 which the horse was attached AZ was
anticipated the horse refused 10 move and
stood with all four feet braced.
Then the owner touched the button con-
nected with the battery. When the horse
felt the shock he snorted. jumped and be-
gan to move of at a lively pace. Every
day for a week he was treated to the
same lesson As a result. his owner de-
cIares that the horse Is completely cured
OF HIS evil ways
The West Pennsylvania Humane society,
which Investigated the genilemans meth
3D. came To the conclusion that small
amount Of electricity used In this way was
more humane than a whip.

Mr.. II. A. Plate was walking out Market

his head an elegant mounted steel rod
umbrella He made good Roadway. he

front of store in front Of which hang
several large electric arc hgats. In order
to let lady pass he stepped IN closer
10 the building and raised his umbrella
higher. An instant later NJ. Plate was
lying unconscious on the sidewa.x. The
ferrule Of the parachute had come IN con-
tact with one Of the lamps. ana conducted
the terrible force Of electricity to his body.
Passersby were astoundeo by the occur
renee and 1t was some time before one
was brave enough to 20 TO the PROSTATE
mans assistance. He was quickly re-
moved to a drug store. where an effort
was made to restore him to consciousness.
The palm of his right hand in which he
was holding the umbrella when shocked
was badly burned. 1t was nearly an hour
iater taat he recovered sufficiently to ask
what had struck him. He believes now
that had he been grasping the steel rod
instead OF the wooden handle when II
struck the lamp he would have been killed.
His nervous system was considerably
racked by the electricity ana his hand
will be useless for several days 10 como.

INSTRUCTIONS have been receiv-
ed during the past week from the
department of the interior by the
local land attorneys, that here
after in the hearing Of contest
cases the taking Of testimony must
occur at the land Office Of the dis
trict in which the land is located.
A deviation from yuls ruling can
only :,e had where there are cir
cumstances connected with the case
that Will warrant the attorneys III
asking the land office to waive the
point and allow the testimony be-
ing taken at some nearer point
This should have the effect of put
ting stop to the laying OF COM
plants against holders Of land
upon trivial technicslities, when
at the time OF tlse hearing it is
found that his improvements and
residence have all been made in
good faith. The ruling is certain
ly a good one if ii will put q stop
to the bounding Of homesteaders
by the festive contestants, who
make it q means of livelihood to file
contests on the entries of new set
tiers in she hope that through
their inexperience they may be ill.,
dnced to give up something to
quit. When they find that it will
be necessary for them to go to the
expense Of trip to Grand Forks
and give the officials there an OPP
portunity to Investigate their al
legged right to file contests on the
holdings of others, their game
will not work so well.
