Goat Dined on the Horses Tail - An
Amusing Incident

Henry Travers and Otto Koop, who
lives few doors away, have long been
the closest of friends. But now they
never speak as they pass by, and tits
all owing to Travers' goat and Hoops
long-tailed bay mare. The bay mare
had tail that reached the ground and
the goat an appetite that was indis-
eliminating and only limited by his
ambulatory and reaching powers. But
the horses tail instead of sweeping the
floor as of yore, is now but jagged
bunch Of hair, fully a foot and a half
away from the ground. The facts in
the case are somewhat hazy, but Mr..
Koop says: my heart Is almost brok-
en-. Why, the tail of that horse was
the best part Of it. l wouldn't have
taken $500 for that mare, but now look
at it! That COMPOUNDED goat OF Tray
ers' had to come in here and chew off
its tail and disfgure the finest looking
horse in Toledo. Why in heavens
name didn't Travers feed his old billy
goat, so that he would stay at home
instead of trespassing around chewing
up horses tails. It's blamed shame,
and I'm going down town to see law
yer friend of mine and see If l can't
get damages. No, the mare amt much
of runner or trotter, but you just
ought to have. seen that tail. I'll kick
lung out of that goat II 1 get a
chance" kick a lung out OF my
goat, will he?" Indignantly snorted
Mr.. Travers when told what Koop had
said. Just let him try it. Damages?
Fiddlesticks! How is he to sue me?
l didn't eat the tail. Why doesn't he
keep his stable door shut If he Is so
particular ?''-Toledo News.

Revival of Dante.

After GOO years Dante's reputation
stands unchallenged. He is classic,
and yet to him the witticism which
was a prophecy of Voltaire has been
absolutely falsified. "Sa reputation
s'affermira toujours, parce qu'on ne
Ira guere." During the present CEN
fury his cult has had a revival unex-
ampled in the annals of literature.
Texts and commentaries have poured
from the press in bewildering volume.
Every day adds to the force of Saint
Beuve's saying that ITO read Dante is
to want to translate him." There Is
much in all this that is fantastical,
ridiculous, affected and wearisome, but
beneath the frothy surface flows the
calm and steady devotion of number
less silent worshipers. Nor Is the
"Diva Commedia" a book only for
scholars and enthusiasts, poetical and
religious. Dante was a man of the
world; he had presided over the des-
TIMES Of a state; he had studied pro-
foundly the motives that influence men
in their public action, and he sat in
judgment like a Rhadamanthus. And
thus the "Divina Commedia" is a
school for statesmen and a peniten-
tiary for politicians.-Saturday Re-
view.

Wedding.
The Palmyra (Mo) Spectator under
takes to show by satire what might
be expected were editors sometimes to
speak their minds Here are q few
of the Spectators samples; willie
Shortike and Bette Boomers were
married at the - church last even
ing The church was very prettily
decorated with flowers and pottted
plants, borrowed promiscuously from
over town from people who didn't
want to lend them. The decorating
was done under protest by some Of
the members of the church. who were
asked to do so by the bride and
couldn't we'll refuse. The ladies are
of the opinion that If the couple were
so bent on having a stylish wedding
they should have been Willing to have
paid some one to chase all over the
town for a day getting flowers to-
gether and then taking them home
again. The bride wore a handsome
Silverstein gown, made at home, and
the groom was decked out In $40
hand-me-down suit. The ushers wore
cutaway coats borrowed for the occa-
sion. Sallie Potts was made of honor,
and the consensus of opinion was that
she was two-to-one better than the
bride. The young couple took the
morning train for st. Lous, where they
will spend more money in a few days
than Willie can earn in three months.
Willie says that now he's married he's
going to settle down. Some of our
merchants think it would have been
better If he had settled up first. The
groom gets a salary Of $27 month.
which is about the allowance Betttie
has been used to for pin money. We
wish for Willie's sake that the old
saying that it takes no more to sup
port two than one wasn't a lie. The
bride sent us a shoe box full of con-
glomeration of stuff supposed to be
cake. If this is a sample Of Bettie's
cooking we feel SORROW for Willie.
Our janitor's dog fell heir to the cake
and now he's lying in the cold, cold
ground. But this wedding is none of
our funeral If Willie and Betttie are
satisfied we've got no kick coming"

On the Bandits Trail Fireman
Knocked Down and Badly Wounded.
None of the Passengers Molested.
PADUCAH, KY, July 1.-THE Illinois
Central fast train from New Orleans to
Chicago was held up and robbed this
morning at ITO o'clock, 2 miles south of
Wicklifre, Ky. The train was tagged
and when it stopped the bandits entered
the cab The fireman, j. J. Fryisch,
was knocked in the head with the but
of revolver and badly hurt.
The robbers, six in number, cut off
the engine and express car and ran
~ miles to Fort jefferson, near
the Ohio river, and within sight of the
Missouri shore. Here they blew the ex-
press safe and secured all the valuables
1t contained. They left the engine and
looted car and crossed into Missouri.
They dropped one package containing
500 on the Kentucky side and another
package on the Missouri side, both of
which were recovered this morning.
TE5 robbers overpowered the express
men and made them get off the train,
but did not modest others on the train,

PREPARED FOR THE WosRT
British Officials Believe the Ministers
Have Been Slain.


LONDON, July 11.-Although Shanghai
repeats the statement that both the en-
peror and dowager empress are alive
and kilograms from Chinese oficialdom
again testify to the safety OF the lega-
tions, these assertions no longer stimu-
late hope here and pessimism will pre-
vail as long as the authorities, who, on
their own showing, are able to get mes
sages to the coast, fail to send confirma-
ton of the safety of the foreigners from
some member of a legation at Peking.
London sees in the disappearance ard
temperance OF prominent people at
Picking and the efforts apparently max
ing to shift the blame from one to the
other and in the attempts to represent
themselves as victims instead of priIci-
pals in the recent occurrences, only pre-
parations for alibis and excuses in view
of the approach of the troops of the pow
ers and the tragedy they may discover
on reaching the Chinese capital.
According to report from Shanghai
the fighting at Tien Tsin July was the
heaviest which has yet occurred, the
Russians alone burying 200 men. The
allies are becoming exhausted by con-
slant fighting.
A dispatch from Canton says Ii Hung
Chang is keeping excellent order there.
Robbers and pirates are executed pub
hcly and frequently, and the people are
cowed and afraid to disturb the peace.
