Noted Horse FOR Ia Cents.

Middletown IN. W correspondent
New York Herald: Polonius, a famous
stallion, has just been Won at a rattle
here for IA cents. A year ago Theo-
dore Reinecke Of this city won the old
stallion at a rattle and decided to dis
pose Of the animal in a similar man
ner. The tickets were divided into
fifteen series of fifty chances each,
numbered from l to so. Each person
taking a chance drew a number and
paid as many cents for the ticket as
the number called for. At the drawing
all the tickets were placed In a box
and a disinterested person drew out
the sealed envelope, which contained
the number IA, which was held by
William Reanney of Walden, for which
he paid IA cents. This is probably the
lowest price ever paid for such a noted
horse. Polonius is % years old, and
was owned for years by James C. How

Cremation In sweden.

Cremation is making progress in
Sweden. The church has been pas
sively against incineration of the dead.
A company was formed some years
ago for the purpose of erecting crema-
tories throughout the land. At a
meeting OF this organization held at
Stockholm lately a very satisfactory
report was made. The union has now
$3.50 members. Crematories have
been erected in Gothenburg, Gefle,
H~elsingborg, Orebro, Malmo and
Norrkoping. Since the formation of
the society 531 bodies have been ere
mated in Stockholm and 131 in Goth
enburg. The Swedish government and
medical profession acknowledge that
sanitary results come from this meth
cd of disposing of the dead, but the re-
ligious classes still contend that in
c~ineration is a return to pagan Gus
tom.

A restaurant conducted Upon Bible
principles, "as Christ would conduct
an eating-house," is in successful op-
Grafton in Chicago. Although hidden
away in an obscure basement in Clark
street, the restaurant, called "The
Christian" has grown in favor since
its establishment a year ago, and hun
dreds of persons patronize 1t every
day. Paul Funck is the proprietor of
THE Christian" restaurant, and he
declares that he is guided in every act
by the Bible. The restaurant occupies
a room 40 feet by 80 feet. and 1t Is
fitted out with a lunch counter and a
dozen tables. The walls are decorated
with quotations from the Scriptures.
Gospel meetings are held in the res
taurant every Saturday evening, and it
is closed on Sundays. Proprietor
Funck says that he follows out a
Christian inspiration in giving pat
rons large portions of well-cooked food
for the least money possible. Five

BUNCH OF KEYS.

From the pitch black interior of the
freight elevator Nellie Carton re-
viewed the situation.
1t was worth reviewing, being, as
situations go, unique.
In the first place, nc young woman
Of sound mind sits in a freight ele-
vator at midnight attired in a dinner
gown as a mere pastime. Add to this
the fact that the painfully new and
auyielding ropes by which the lift was
propelled were being pulled upon
by the clerk from the neighboring
dyug store-awakened from a sound
sleep for the purpose-and it will
readily be seen that something I'M
Usual had happened in the Carton
family.
At that moment when the drug
clerk was pulling Mollie with infinite
pains toward the fifth floor, rear, of
the apartment building in which the
Cartons had the pleasure of residing,
Mrs. Carton sat wringing her hands
and calling upon heaven to save her
child upon the front stairs. To be ex-
act, it was upon the first step of the
fourth flight Of stairs she sat. Which
should make it evident to everybody
that she was conducting her lamenta-
ton just outside her own door. She
sat outside not from choice, but be-
cause she couldn't help herself.
In short, she was locked out. And
so was Mollie.
So was the drug clerk, for that mat
ter, but the fifth apartment in the
"Brunhilda," not being his abiding
| place, he did not take it to heart as
Mrs. Carton did. Having known the
Cartons for only twenty minutes, his
interest in the matter was as yet
quasi-professional.
But perhaps it would be better to
begin at the beginning.
Be it known, then, that Mrs. Carton
and her daughter had been giving {
little dinner that evening. The guests
had stopped on rather late, and thu

having put the lights out early. Mol

was the agent of the Supreme lodge,
and that his neglect did not make the

sharply shut. They both turned
quickly, but it was too late. The latch
had done it's worst.
Their maid had departed immediate
ly after serving. to a ball, intending
to spend the night with her sister. Mr..
Carton was out of town on a business
trip. So there was no hope of success
from within.
1t was obviously impossible to go to
a hotel attired in their evening frocks.
Besides, they had no money. They
knew no n in the building. Their
friends all lived at a distance. Their
guests were already beyond reach.
Mrs. Carton entertained a mental Wis
ion of a night spent upon the street,
or at best in a drafty hallway. She
sank down upon the stairs, overcome.
She also wepr.
But Mollie was young, and youth is
ever resourceful. Also, she had a keen
sense of humor. Although she didn't
dare let her mother know it, she was
amused. At all events, the situation
savored of adventure, and an oppor-
tunity for adventure is not to be light
ly ~disregarded, even if it does involve
a little discomfort. She patted her
mothers shoulder soothingly.
There, there. Don't cry, dear. The
janitor is sure to have a skeleton key
I'll run down and get it."
But the ~janitor hadn't any such
thing. Moreover, he resented being
disturbed. He was a hard-working
man, he said, and a nights sleep was
about all he got out of life aside from
three meals daily. Why didn't the
young lady go wake up the landlord

had to do was collect rents. They

liked it.
Fortunately the landlord LIVED

Notwithstanding his rent-collectin{

| the janitor's views on the subject o
| sleep. He hadn't a duplicate key, h
informed her, after at last he had beer
awakened and appeared at an uppel
window. He seemed to Mollie to gloa
over the fact. He intimated hat hi

But can't you suggest something?
Mollie cried, desperately. I'VE mus

He suggested the drug clerk on tn
corner, who had a big bunch of keys
might be able to open the door. an,
then he shut the window.
The drug clerk was asleep, too. an
hard to rouse, but at last opened tn
door wide. Upon perceiving a youn.
woman, however, he shut it agaiI
quickly, that his disheveled conditio.
might not be too apparent, leaving
however, a crack wide enough for con

said, extending a hand through tn
aperture. "I1l turn up the light a

1t was harder than she thought
would be to explain her errand. Mo
