When storm threatens, horses of every
sort grow SO full Of running that they
needs must race and jump. Then in a
wide pasture you may see sights such as
no course can offer. In every herd there
is leader, usually a mare, and oftener
than not a barren one.

HOW TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE

MAN
INTELLIGENCE OF HORSES
Question If the Wisest Man Knows
as Much About Horses as Horses
Themselves Know About
Men.

You can never even begin to understand
horses until you have watched them at
grass throughout long summer days. The
understanding is more perfect If the
watching begins earIy-say when the foal
is trotting after the sleek, fuII-uddered
dam, going all the gaits, though he may
be no more than a week old, nipping grass
dainttly, or nuzzling in the feed-trough on
the ground, making a pretense Of. eating
grain the same as his mother. 1t is only
a pretense until the saucy fellow IS a
month old. He IS foaled with teeth. but
does not for while learn to use them.
Men are said to wear their souls in the
pineal gland. Horses. II they have souls,
no doubt locate them in the upper lips. It
is a wonderfully efficient lip, soft as vel
vet to the touch and sensitive to the least
inequality. A horse sweeps the manger
with 1t almost the instant he begins feed
ing, and If 1t touches upon knots or splin-
tiers, keeps wary Of them afterward Be
fore wallowing, even the duIlest horse
puts down his head until the upper lip
touches the ground, and turns slowly
round and round, feeling thus all the
space upon which he means to fling him
self down and roll with all his force. If
he finds sharp stones, or stubbs, or sticks,
he lifts his head and goes in search of an
other place. The lip also tells him when
the ground is mellow enough to make wal
lowing a supreme pleasure. Though horses
wallow in wet weather, sometimes coming
up coated with mud, they do it apparently
from a sense of duty, with none of the
abandon they display tossing and tumb-
ling upon light, sun-warm earth Often,
indeed. they jump from pasture into pillow
land solely for wallowtng exactly to their
minds. The wherefore of wallowing is
still a mystery. 1t belongs in the category
Of involuntary notions, along with
stretching and yawning.
WONDERFUL FEATS OF HORSES.
1t strains credulity to hear how far a
horse will thrust his lip through an open
ing to reach and bring in a coveted tit
bit. Thus he gets apples lying just inside
a fence, first paving hole in the earth
upon his side, then half kneeIlng to reach
under his substitute for fingers. Thus,

CONVERSATION AT A DINNER.

During the evening the conversation
turned the most suitable recreation
for men who worked with their brains,
especially men in public life. The diplo-
mat confessed that he found out door
physical recreation in riding ana indoor
in fencing The latter sport, he declared,
was the proper relaxation for men whose
muscles were in danger of becoming Set.
For mental recreation he preferred fiirt-
ing to anything more exhausting. His
candor was greeted with uproarious
laughter.

The Deal Not Completed.

Saturdays and Sundays News came
out with articles relating to the sale OF
the Gaylord coal works, above Mar
tins Ferry. While It IS true that op-
lions have been taken on the works, as
stated In this paper. and true that the
options have not expired, It Is also true
that both reports in the News were un-
true. A Martins Ferry man, who, by
the way, is in possession Of the deeds OF
the Gaylord Coal Company, stated to
the IntellIgencer last evening that both
reports were false in every particular.
The gentleman said that the Gaylord
has not been sold to the Cleveland &
Pittsburgh capitalists. and while there
was possibility of the deal going
through, It may not for several days.
He also stated that not one cent had
been paid by the intending purchasers,
and instead Of the Gaylord Coal Com
pany counting their $4,000 to-day, they
will be delivering coal to their old Gus
toners, as usual.
It was also learned that not an aero
