smoke won two more races, after hav- ing had his inhalations, after that, and it hurt me lot when he was burned up in a freight blaze on his way east at the end of the season.
 AS a general thing you'll find that race-horses are fond of dogs-any kind of dogs, CUTS or thoroughbreds They like to have 'em around the barn, and
 they're good to them. I've known man eating, fiendish horses that would cuddle up to dogs, and smell 'em, and sniff em, and make a lot over them I'm generally suspicious of horse in my stable that doesn't cotton to the barn dog but had one horse that was almighty timid on the dog question He was a, kind horse, without single mean or dirty trait in his makeup, so that I didn't turn against him for not liking the for terrier I had around my barn. I could see that it was simply timidity on the horses part. He was afraid of dogs. The fox terrier tried to make up to him, but the horse was ner- vous when the dog was around, and plainly showed it. His showing 1t ex- 
 showed his resentment by nibbling at the horses heels every time he passed by the stall. He took a chance that l wouldn't take in a thousand years in doing this, but he got away with 1t. The horse didn't even try to kick him. He'd just raise up the heel that the fox terrier was mischievously nibbling on and strike out few inches with Il, and the dog always jumped back and began to bark then. His barking would get the horses nerves on edge, and when l saw that the terriers persecution was injuring the naturally timid horse l clouted him over the head few times until he learned that he was to let the horse alone.
 1T never managed to get race out of this horse until one day, when he was running, I walked in the infield to the stretch turn to see the horses make the bend. The fox terrier trotted along after me. As the horses rounded the bend my timid animal was laying in third position, but not going very steadily, and it looked pretty fair cinch that he'd drop back to the ruck before the field got into the straight. Just as I was taking this hopeless view of it, however, that fox terrier of mine, excited by the spectacle of the horses tearing. down in our direction, set up sharp, shrill barking My horses ears went forward the minute he heard IL. He probably thought that the fox was at his heels, for he bounded forward, passed the two in front of him at three strides. and won a rattling good race with the jockey on his back only hand riding him. The fox terriers barking made the horse win a number of races for me the same way after that. New York Sun.

WORDS OF MEN AND SONGS OF
 BIRDS.

The description of the songs of birds
 bv poets and other more fallible mor- tals has been the subject of a vigorous
 discussion in a contemporary; but tbere is a more interesting, or at any rate a more disputed point which has been omitted. It is not of much in- terest to know that the quail says something that sounds little like Bob White, Rob White, more wheat, more wheat" nor do we appreciate the mesmeric persuasiveness of the pigeon any more when we are told that 1t re- sembles 1.-two coos, co stoopid; two coos, % stoopid." The French, it is true. have one inimitable description oh a nightingale's song, in which the sing CT is supposed to be describing how he enjoys beating his wife; and the words indisputably recall the intervals and emphasis of the song with irritating ex- actness. But more fascinating sub- iect of inquiry is, what is the prevail- ing sentiment of a birds song? About the nightingale you will scarcely get two people to agree. One will assert that it is the "apotheosis of sadness" the other that it is ''one of the jolliest noises in the world" The beauty of the subject is that there is no possible means of coming to decision. Musi- clans, with some famous exceptions, deny that music and the songs of birds have any connection at all. That being so, there Is nothing left but to aserr one's $ own belief stlenuously, and 50 oIl asserting it till the other side gives in. The nightingale's song is neither glad nor sad, but passionate-and Bra- zilian correspondent gives some curious instances of South American birds whose songs initiate human words. One species continuously calls "Quero. Quero" q will I wilD and is therefore so named by the natives. Another of which our correspondent has heard but which he has not himself seen, Is re- ported to repeat the phrase "Quem terion meo chapeo? Quen foi?" As the meaning of this sentence is Who tok away my hat? Who was fe?" this bird certainly bears away the palm for oddity of song.-From The London Globe.

the whole story. Without doubt he had been up all night, 'bucking the ti- ger,' was dead broke and ferociously sore at himself for being such blither- ing idiot. He was chewing an unlight-s ed cigar, and, as I approached, hes asked me, courteously enough, for a match. I handed him my case, and while he was opening it with very tremulous fingers strapping big fel- low of the longshoreman type came swinging down the street, evidently on his way to work I reme/iber distinct- ly that he was whistling The Mulligan Guards and he was certainly the pic ture of health and good humor, all of which no doubt jared on the young man in the doorway for when a chap feels rocky he doesn't like to see any, body else looking too confoundedly jo-8 vial don't you know. Hello, there, said he, when the big man got abreast of us; I'll give you dollar to kick me real hard Well, sir, the longshoreman never blinked an eye or lost a note or The Mulligan Guards He simply grabbed the young man by the arm whirled him around, and gave him the most terrific kick I ever saw landed on a human being. It lifted him clear off the ground, and he sailed through the air with his arms and legs spread out exactly like a frog Jumping into pond. He landed on all fours on the other side of the gutter, and, 'pon my word, I thought at first that he was killed; but, strange to say, he d1dn' t# seem to be even much hurt. He got up slowly, looking dazed, and hobbled back to the sidewalk. Then he felt in his pocket and fished out lone dollar. Here you are,' said he to the big man, who hadn't spoken a word, and was still whistling The Mulligan Guards'; here's your money--but next time don't you be quite so d. simultaneous I'm afraid that would be the way with you Charley added the old-timer, cbrckling, If that able-bodied mule YOU were wishing for would suddenly get into action."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Crosby, chief officer of the Cufic, while trying to swim to a line attached to a buoy afloat from the Kansas City, was drowned, Cufic will await the arrival of tugs here and will then proceed to Liver pool She carries no passengers. The Kansas City's machinery was strained and there is heavy list to starboard. She will recoal and may resume within a day or two her voyage to New York, wither she was bound from Bristol, af- ter touching at Swansea, December 6, when she sighted the disabled Cufc.

RIDERS SUFFERING SEVERELY.
Effects of the Strain of tho Six-Day
 Bicycle Eeaca.


 Bicycle Ilacs.
 New York, Dec. 16.-The six-day bi- cycle racers to-day were suffering se- verely from the effects of their riding So severe had been the test upon their systems, particularly their nerves, that sleep was an impossibility for some of them last night after the conclusion of the race. Most of them repaired to Turkish bath where they remained un- til to-day. In comparison with the six day race of last year the racers of the past week came out of the trial easily
 Mcfarland Is in much worse condi- tion than the others owing to his fall Saturday afternoon when he severely injured his right knee. It was giving him considerable trouble to-day, and he spent the most Of the day in his hotel.
 Gougoltz is at the New York hospital, but expects to be out in a couple of days. Bikes manager stated that his man was in far the best condition of the lot and that he had slept well all night until Il o'clock this morning, when he arose and partook of a hearty breakfast. He accounted for Elkes' good condition by saying that Bikes had not been given any drugs or stimulants of any kind.
 Turville and Aaronson, who were stak en to the hospital on account of iniilries received, are doing as well as coul6 be expected and will probably be out in a few days.

Americans Active in IloiIo-WOrk of
 American Commission

Manila, Dec. 16.--Advices from Iloilo, island of Panay, reports that the Amer ican troops have been moving north- ward and westward for several days and that detachments of the Sixth, Eighteenth and Twenty sixth regi- ments have been active near their sta tions. The insurgent losses during the last ten days there have been killed five, several wounded and forty taken pris- oners The Americans have lost two killed and three wounded. Large num- bers of the natives, however, are swearing allegiance to the United States.
 In various recent attacks and expe- ditions in Southern Luzon the insur- gents have lost eight killed, seven wounded and about twenty captured. The Americans have lost one killed and wounded General Wheaton reports that 430 natives have entered Calauan for registration.
 Most of the time of the Philippine commission is now devoted to the tariff bill. Judge Taft said to-day that, gen. erally speaking, the new rates would be about 40 per cent. of the existing rates.
 Tt will be essentially a tariff for rev. enue,' he remarked, "but some indus tries that are already established will be given protection. The commission is not considering the question of the con- stitutionality of taxing United States products. The precedents have been established in the case of Porto Rico and by the military government of the Philippines.
 ''The bill requires the washing of cot ton goods, so as to eliminate the clay used by European manufacturers which increases the weight This will incidentally favor American goods The rate on kerosene will be reduced from eleven cents a gallon to four. Some American goods will be admitted free and almost all will come in at reduced figures"

WATERBURY BOYS PLIGHT.
Found in the Woods Nearly Frozen to
 Death


 Waterbury, Dec. 16.-Little Tim Moy- nihan, five years old, was found early this morning in some woods near this city nearly frozen to death. The lad had been exposed to the bitter cold for more than fourteen hours, becoming lost in the woods late Saturday afternoon.
 It appears from the stories of the children living in the vicinity of No. .23 Carman street, the home of the boy, that he, together with several compan- ions, went into the woods on Saturday afternoon to gather evergreen for Christmas. The children say that they wandered about looking for the greens until they were met by some one, who roughly ordered them out of the woods. They became frightened and scattered, each making his way home as best he could. When it became dark the pa rents of the Moynihan lad, fearing that something had befallen Tim, inquired for him about the neighboring houses and found that he had not been seen since the children ran from the man whom they met in the woods in the af ternoon Searching parties were organ ized and during the entire nights the woods were secured in vain for a trace of the missing boy
 About o'clock this morning John Varalari, an Italian, was passing by the edge of the woods, and hearing moans investigated. He found little Tim Moy- nihan crouched down in the underbruSh, his coat over his head and one shoe off, vainly trying to warm the frozen foot with his hands. The boy was taken home and a physician called. It is ex" pected that he will recover.

Detectives of Boston. Worcas- ter, Providence and several Massacbu- sets cities searched Saturday and to- day without obtaining any trace of her.
 Mrs. Maloof, the mother of the miss ling girl, is still prostrated and a nbv- slcian is in attendance. Joseph Maloof who was to have welded the eir1 threatened to kill himself twice since Friday night and might have carried out his threat had not relatives and friends watched him carefully.
 Detective Sullivan to-day investi gated a theory that Sophie had been induced to run away and marry a syrian named Jabour Nadre. The Ma. loof family accuse Mrs Nahmai Naz- sar of having caused the sudden de- parture of Sophie. It was Mrs. Nazsar who was with the young girl when she tried on garments in a Washington street store and who told the sales- woman to deliver the garments to one but herself.
 The story told in the Syrian colony IS that while Joseph Maloof had been promised the hand of Sophie bv her father, she had another suitor. Nadre lie IS about twenty years old and has appeared before the footlights in small theaters in the western part of the country but up to recently has been engaged in business in Boston. Mrs. Nazsar is distant relative of the missing girl.
