BADLY MIXED UP
Mrs. Leutjens Again Has TrouDle
with q Runaway Horse

Mrs, LeutjenS Again HAS TfouOAe
with . Runaway Horse
Mr.. A. Leutjens seems to have hard
luck with runaway horses and various
kinds of. mix-ups. Yesterday he had an
other narrow escape for his life. His
horse became frightened near the corner
of Main and Douglas and broke loose
from the buggy. The horse jerked' Mr..
Leutjens out over the dashboard and in
some manner he fell with his feet tan
gled in the hold-back straps and his
head in the lines. In this peculiar posi-
ton the horse dragged him several feet
and then threw himself, when bystand-
ers rushed in and caught the animal.
They had to cut the harness to get Mr..
Leutjens out Of the tangle. Before they
got hold of the horse, however, he rear
ed up and struck with his feet at Mr..
Leutjens, missing him only few inches.
1t was considered a very close call for
the old gentleman.

Some people have peculiar notions of
what is appropriate. Some time ago

preaching at the Gladstone Jail and
prefaced his remarks by regretting the
small attendance. At race meeting

that the numbers selected were from
Moody and Sankey. go Bury Thy Sor-

were all equally appropriate.
Christmas religious service was held
at the local Jail and hymns suitable to
the occasion were of course selected.

In September, 1875, there was re-

chair, expressed his pleasure at being
with his friends, but his dislike at be-

doing so.
But there are those, - he added dry

who are not troubled with any sort of
diffidence.
The three generals present made wit

for seymour SEYMOUR
The governor, who had been the de-
feated Democratic candidate against
Grant for the presidency in 1868, came
forward and said:

Elephants have the bitterest enmity
to camels. When the camel scents the
elephant, it stops still, trembles in all
its limbs<nd utters an interrupted cry
of terror and alright. No persuasion.
no blows, can induce it to rise. 1t
moves its head backward and forward.
and its whole frame is shaken with
mortal anguish. The elephant, on the
contrary, as soon as ne perceives the
camel, elevates his trunk, stamps with
his feet, and with his trunk thrown
backward, snorting with a noise like
the sound of trumpet, he rushes to-
ward the camel, which with its neck out
stretched and utterly defenseless awaits
with the most patient resignation the
approach of its enemy. The elephant,
with its enormous shapeless limbs,
tramples on the unfortunate animal in
such a manner that in a few minutes it
is scattered around in small fragments.

At what Age Is Man Strongest.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages of
development and decline. Our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the strength
of several thousands of people have been
made by means of dynamometer
strength measurer), and the following
are given as the average figures for the
white race:
The lifting power" of youth of II
years is $50 pounds. In his twentieth
year this increases to $40 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty first years it
reaches its height, $50 pounds. At the
end of the thirty first year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
BY the fOrtieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. It is not pos
sitle to give statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year, as it
varies TO "a large extent in different in
dividuals. Magazine.

How Could the Poor Frenchman Tell
What 1t Could Do:
While in Chicago NJ de Monvel, the
French artist, heard one story that puZ-
zled him. 1t was told at dinner party,
and he smiled just as if he understood
it. That night he thought it over, but
the more he thought the less he COM
pretended it. Finally fellow artist
who had heard ting story repeated it,
drew pictures of it, and then a light
broke on NJ. de Monvel, and he laughed.
''Ah, we Frenchmen are stupid when
compared with the Americans" he ex-
claimed Il shall tell that story, and it
will make Paris laugh
The little tale was about Il French
carpenter who bought a saw from a
Chicago manufacturer who made
speciality of advertising. Engraved on
the tool was the assurance that day in
and day out this saw will wear longer
than any other on the market The
Frenchman read the advertisement,
and the day he bought the saw he put
il carefully away. The next day he
used it and left it cut of doors in the
pouring rain. \ neiShbor demonstrated
with him for his carelessness, and he
picked up the saw, pointed to its in
scription and exclaimed:
