Did You Ever See a Horse Cry,

Did You Ever See q Horse Crye
Many people believe that horses do
not weep, but those who have much to
do with these faithful creatures know
that On several occasions they will
shed tears as well as express sorrow in
the most heartbreaking manner. In
the west, where the hardness of the
ponies causes the riders to almost over
look the necessity Of providing for their
needs, 1t is quite common when the
weather is extremely cold to leave an
unblanketed pony tied up for two or
three hours when the temperature is
nearly zero and while its owner is
~transacting business or getting drunk.
In this case the suffering is evidenced
by the cries. which are almost like
sObs. and unmistakable tears freeze on
to the cheeks like icicles.
When a horse falls in the street and
gets injured, the shock generally numbs
the senses so much that it does not Ell
Their cry or groan, but under some con
ditions an injured horse will solicit
sympathy in the most distinct manner
l remember a favorite horse of my own
which trod on a nail long enough TO
pierce it's foot. The poor thing hob
bled up to me IN three legs and cried
as nearly like a child in trouble as any
thing | can describe. The sight was a
very touching one, as was also the Grip
pied animals gratitude when the nail
was pulled out and the wound dressed.

NEED HEROIC MEDICINE.
Powers Should Pull Down the Chi.
nose Wall.

WASHINGTON. July 19.-Dr. Edu-
0rdo Wilde. the new Minister from the
Argentine Republic TO the United
states. who for many years and until
recently represented his country at
Pekin. In. an interview to-day advised
that the United States and the Powers
of Europe use artillery to batter down
the great city wall which surrounds
Pekin. this being regarded bye him as
one OF the most effective ways OF bring
ing the fanatic hordes of Chinese to a
realization OF the powers OF the Chris
tlan world.
Dr. Wilde said that during his stay
at Pekln and Canton he had observed
the feelings OF antipathy. dislike and
hate with which all foreigners were re-
garded by vast classes OF the Chinese.
The natural aversion Of the Chinese to
outside people was played upon by
crafty men for the advantage of them
selves. and the cession OF territory TO
various European Governments
strengthened the suspicion OF tAcse
classes that the Chris San world ainled
at the overthrow of the Chinese En-
plre. and more particularly the over
throw OF the ancient religions of that
part % the East.

propositions OF Christendom. The most
heroic medicine which the Powers can
administer TO China would be to begin
TO tear down the Chinese wall. The
wall is more 20 the Chinese than simple
masonry. II is a symbol The Chinese
believe that within this wall they are
lnvincible. They have considered the
wall impregnable and they think IL still

difIcult To explain In English and to
Caucasians the significance of the wall
20 the Chinese. but to shell II and to
blow sections OF II into dust would be a
rude awakening to the Chinese masses
OF the power OF the Christian world"
All the Chinese. he said. were not OPP
posed TO foreigners. The educated peo-
pie In the Empire who had travelled OF
who had read the writings OF those
who had travelled are friendly tc
Christians. Opposed to this class
however. were the hordes Of fanatics
and ignorant people. led in the main By
the doctors and by many lit
lerary men or writer's on re
llgious subjects. who would pre-
vent progress and turn the Empir'
back from the few progressive steps 1
