east Tennessee mountain. BY and by the sap

stretched at length in it there was an outer
shell Of sound wood and plenty OF vigorous
leafy boughs for shade. The hollow itself was
rain and storm proof. so n couple OF the noun
tain folk took up their abode in it.
They did not bother about furniture. There
was no room for it. even in a hollow tree meas
uring seven feet across. The man put down q
floor OF puncheons-that Is. rough slabs split
from smaller tree trunks. For bed they had
dry leaves. and for covering skins of various
animals round about. The woman knew how
TO dress them Indian fashion. so they served
in large part for clothes as well us cover.

HORSE IN THE STATION HOUSE.
He Mistook the Place for His Stable and
with Good Reason.


The Seventy fourth Precinct police station.
over in Long Island City. was once barroom.
1t is next door to livery stable. The police
who are confined there say they would will
ingly exchange quarters with the prisoners in
the county Jail. The building swarms with
animal life. 1t always has done so. But last
week the mammaiIa Of tho station was en-
larged by large bay horse.
The architecture Of the back door OF the
station is very much like that Of the stable
next door. The flooring and walls inside are
about equally uninviting. With confusion OF
appearances that would not have cast discredit
upon human observer. the horse mistook the
wrong door and walked In. He wedged him
self between the bootblack stand and tho wall
in the back hall and began to kick himself
loose Sergt. Fogarty was on duty in the main
room on the otnertsde OF tho hall. He rang
