LEGAL RIGHTS OF A HORSE.
Starving Animals Rescued by the
Humane Society Cause a
Lawsuit.

For the first time in the history of
the state of Colorado the right of a
horse as being entitled to sufficient
food and proper shelter at his mas
ter's expense is TO be tested before
the courts, with the Humane society
upholding the horses side Of the
case.
The facts of the case are as follows:
During the extreme cold weather and
period of deep SHOWS last January,
Agent Bailey received reports that
there was a band of horses, 13 or Il
ia number, 12 miles up in the noun
tains from Waune'a, and that the
animals were showed in and starving
tn death. They had been turned out
bv theil owner to shift for themselves
during the winter. With compan-
ion he made trip on snow shoes to
the place, and after considerable diff
Guilty found the animals. They were
in the heavy timber. The snow, five
or six feet deep on a level, they had
packed down by tramping about, so
that they were shut in by the white
walls of snow several feet high. form
ing a yard" such as the elk make in
the aspen thickets during the winter.
The poor beasts were terribly enact
ated and in the last extremities Of
starvation.
Agent Bailey and his companion re-
turned 10 Wauneta and went back on
snow shoes as soon as possible with
hay for the all but famished animals.
One or two died from the cold and
Lrivation, in spite of the efforts of the
men. 1t was three weeks before a
path could be beaten to the town and
the horses able to travel. They were
then taken to Wauneta, and their
owners, known from the brands on
the horses. notified.
Agent Bailey demanded from each
owner pay for the food taken to the
horses and the necessary expense in
removing them from the mountains.
This was refused by the owners, and
the horses were held by the agent.
A suit to replevin was then instituted
by the owners for the recovery of the
horses.
This is the case as It stands, and
the decision Of the court will deter
mine whether or not horse that has
been left by his owner to starve dur
ing the winter may contract a board
bill for which the master is liable, and
in large degree fix the relations Of
owner and owned.-Denver Post.

who for &c years has been in the EN-
ploy of the First national bank of Mem
phis. Danuel secured a position with
the bank in 1871 as porter, and, after
proving his efficiency and integrity,
was given the work of collecting to do.
Never in all the time of his service has
be failed to accoupt for every cent of
money intrusted to him. His collec-
tions are always made accurately; in
fact, he has yet to make his first mis-
take in a money transaction.
In executing his duties at the bank
vast sums of money are handled by him,
and the money is as safe in his hands

So we'll is Danuel thought of by his
employers that not long ago the bank
gave him trip to the north, his rail-

Chicago, Washington and other large
cities being betrayed by the bank. The
president of the bank gave him let

After he had got the boys well instruct

found growing in the neighborhood of
great railroad yards. Sometimes the
seeds of these plants have been brought
thousands of miles from their natural
habitat. Often they flourish amid their
new surroundings, and gradually spread
over the surrounding country. Thus
the railroads carry unsuspected emi.
grants, which travel to and from every
point of the compass. In the Mississip.
pi valley are to be found plants which,
within few years past, have been thus
brought together, some from the At.
lantic seaboard, some from the Gull
region, and some from the other side
of the Rocky mountains.

A Negroes Long Record of Fidelity as
Collector for a Memphis

The nOrtherner who is forever harp
ing upon the manner in which the ne
gro is kept down in the south might
open his eyes in wonder at the many
Eases in which the negroes have been
faithful in their services for many years
to their employers, says the Memphis
Scimitar, and, as a reward, hold posi-
tions of trust and are esteemed as hon
est as any man by the white people who
know them. They are not put on 9
social equality with white people, but
their station in life is far above that
which the northerner sets as the rank
of the negro in the south.
A fair illustration of this is to be
had in the case of Prince A. Danuel,

BRAZILIAN HAMMOCKS.
A Necessary Article In That Country
and More Often Used
Than Beds.

The passenger capacity Of the vessels
on the Amazon river is not limited by
the number of berths or staterooms,
which are seldom or never used except
by the few foreign travellers, to dress
in, but by the limit of hanging room for
hammOcks on the deck of the vessel.
Everybody of necessity must have a
hammock, says the Ledger Monthly, as
the state rooms are unbearable at night.
Even in the hotels hammocks are more
used than beds. Some of them are
very fine; those made Of maqueira
grass, with feather lace trimmings,
are considered the best. 1t takes from
several months to year or more to
make really good ones, and they bring

One of the most striking peculiari-
ties of the attendance in the public
schools of Manila is the great excess
of boys over girls, this being true Of
the high schools as well as those OF
lower grade. 1t is a manifestation
OF the local belief that. while educa-
ton may be desirable for boys, it is
of little use for the girls. All they
need to know is their catechism. This
disparity in the school attendance Of
the sexes may be lessened, however,
before the next school term, as the
authorities are planning for a system
81 compulsory attendance.
