COMPANIONS OF THE STABLE.
DOGS and Cats nnd Race Horses Are
Frequently Good Friends.

From the Boston Herald.
The sight of a tiny dog perched on the
back of well-blanketed horse which is
being led about the paddock is a scene
which always attracts the attention of
visitors to the trotting track. If the sight
seer happens to be a woman, she is i'm

deal of kindness hidden away underneath
the rough exterior Of the groom. And. as
a matter Of fact there is

BOTH CREDULITY AND CUPIDITY
some of the Reasons why Gigantic
swindIes Are So Successful.

From the New YORK Tribune.
The exploits of the missing Miller and
his Franklin Syndicate" arouse the old
wonder about the credulity of human ma
ture. II is a mystery oft renewed Ever
since the South Sea bubble, and for that
matter from long before, men who in or
binary affairs seemed people Of common
sense and soberness have been showing
that the more frankly impossible a bust
ness proposition was the more ready they
we're to close with 1t in haste. The gam
bling instinct is deeply rooted. AS Charles
Lamb noted, what "our Familiarity pious
ancestors called a godsend has an ire
sstible charm. II is something we don't
work for. but It comes by itself, and the
more miraculous its coming the quicker
we are to kneel down before the most
palpable OF frauds in the hope Of receiving
1t. The poor dupes OF Miller are only
