CREED OF THE DUNKARDs.
1t Prevents Farmer From Taking Bncl
Horse stolen From Him.

1t Prevents II Farmer From Taking Buck
II Horse stolen From Him.
The refusal of Dunkard farmer to
rec i've back horse that had been
stolen from him, created deal of dis
Church town, Penn. where nearly
every farmer belongs to religious
sect. The farmer whose horse was
stolen made no effort at all to recover
the beast. He did not make his loss
known to his neighbors until they
had inquired what had become of his
big roam. Then he said that one
night somebody broke open his stable
door and took the horse, but nothing
else. The news soon spread and a
township constable captured the ami
nal on the Welsh mountain, but the
thief escaped. When the constable
took the horse back to the owner,
the farmer said:
81 do not want the horse. The
man who took it must have more use
for the animal than l had or he would
not have been driven to steal Give
it back to him. Ii he wants my
harness and wagon, let him have
them also"
The farmer was man Of his word,
and the horse was lel away, and is
still in possession of the constable.
Strangely enough, nearly every man
belonging to his special sect approves
his action. They refer to the Bible
as their authority. One passage cited
is Matthew v: AZ: "And if any man
will sue you at the law and take away
thy, coat let him have thy cloak also. I"
AS .hese sects never go to law, they
simply believe that if any man takes
their coat they should also freely
give their cloak; or if any one takes
their horse, they should also let him
have their wagon. Once thing is
stolen from them they will never ie-
ceive it back as their property.
The same thing holds good with the
women folks. They would not think
OF receiving back again any property
stolen from them, nor do they want
any one to pursue thief, or to have
any one hand in his punishment. No
matter how much farmer may owe
on his land, he will bear his losses by
theft without murmur. The farmers
OF these sects sometimes go into debt
when Buying land. In almost every
thing else they pay as they go.
The question as to receiving back O
stolen horse has created division in
some of the other sects, however. The
people who favor receiving back the
stolen animal argue that the Bible
does not say that where thief steals
your property you shall not receive it
back; that not to take beck stolen
goods and not to punish thieves, is
simply encouraging and inviting such
crime; and that it is wrong for man
in debt not to take back stolen
property which he cannot afford to
lose, and which may interfere with
him in the payment of his Inherent
money.

II is evident that the emperor OF
Germany does not expect the horse

under construction, in the outskirts OF
Berlin, what is to be, probably, the
most splendid stable in the world. Out

The stable is being erected by the i'm
perial architect, Herr lime. OF occu-
pies a superficial area of more than
two acres. There will be roomy and
comfortable box-stalls for more than
270 horses, and carriage-house space
for more than 300 carriages In the
center of the whole will be two-story
building, where the imperial coach
men. grooms, stable boys, and so forth,
with their families, will be lodged.
Eighty families will have quarters In
the building; the drivers or coachmen
will be at least fifty in number. The
stable will be provided with horse ele-
vators, telephones and electric lights
and the walls OF the carriage-houses
and other portions of the building will
be beautifully decorated with paint and
gliding by the best decorative artists
in Berlin. The cost of the stable Is
estimated at seven millions of marks,
or more than a million dollars. Three
years will be employed in its construc-
