Thts Horse Has Horse Sense,

The manager Of the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage Company, Mr.. Vose,
has a gray horse which knows as much
as any animal In the city, not except
Ing the fire department horses, as his
owner thinks. Tie company stables
It's horses on Fore street. ana Mr.. Vose's
horse Is also kept there. TO do away
with the necessity of hiring a man to
so to the stable at o'clock every morn
ing to feed these horses IN ingenious
device was arranged which answered
every purpose until the arrival OF the
gray horse. Tie device consisted Of
two alarm clocks which were set to 60
off at 4 o'clock. a heavy weight was
so arranged that when the alarm start.
ed the weight would drop and pull a
wire which opened the trap doors and
the feed then came tumbllng into the
managers OF the horses.
After the arrival of the gray horse II
was noticed that all of the horses be-
came very hungry long before noon
each day. This could not be accounted
for until some one stood watch to see
what was the occasion for the state of
affairs. The watcher soon learned.
After the horses We're fed at night and
had eaten all that was given them the
gray horse reached up and, taking the
wire In his mouth, pulled upon 1t. Down
came into the hangers the feed that
was intended to fall at o'clock. OF
course the horses proceeded to eat at
once and before noon We're very hun
cry. A man now feeds the horses at 4
o'clock and the gray horse pulls the
wire In vain.-Portland Daily Press.

II have got witnesses 10 prove my

"Why don't you try TO secure q new
trial?"
"Well, you see,' he replied, after a

several of their pups on my ranges and
could fill volume with instances of
their rare intelligence and faithfulness.
Il remember one pup in particular.
He was only six months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. At night, when the herd was
brought UP to the corrals. we saw at
once that part Of the herd was MISS
ing. There were 1900 head In the
bunch when they went out In the
morning. but when we put them
through the chute we found that 200
were missing. The pup was also miss.

all of the next day and did not find the
lost sheep until along toward night.

there was the faithful dog standing
guard. Tie wolves were very plentiful
I'm those days and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals In
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famishcd. as he had been for thirty .six
hours without food or water. From
that day he became u hero. but was SO
badly affected by hunger, exposure End
thirst. subsequent overlooking and pet
ting that lie died not long aftcrward.
This same pups mother was an
especially fine animal. One night tho
hcrter brought In his focks and hur.
ricd to his cabin to cook himself some
supper, for he was more than usually
hungry. But he missed the dog, which
usually followed him to the cabin OF
an evening to have her supper. The
herder thought II rather strange. but
made no search for the dog that night.
but next morning he found the gntc
open and the faithful dog standing
guard over the fiOcks. This herdcr. IN
his haste the night before. had forgot.

faithful than her master. had remained
ut her post all night, though suffering
from hunger and thirst.
ION another occasion this same dog
was left to watch flock OF sheep near
the herdcr's cabin while the herder got
his supper. After he had eaten his
supper he went out to where the sheep
were and told the dog 10 put the shcel

The Man Who Works.

skipping the hard places when pOssi.
BILE. and thinking Wen bc glad when
It's finished; but the next job will be
just the same: there will be just about
so many hard places In It, ana then
we'll be wishing just the same that we
could get through that Job.
"Thc fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shirk the present job.
We mean well, In feeble sort of way,
and the next thing We tackle we are
going to do right up 10 the handle; but
when we strike that, when that be.
comes the present work. don't we try
to shirk that, tooY We do. indeed. And
that's what We do all through life:
daily putting OF our best endeavors till
tomorrow. Kind of miserable thing
to do. isn't II?
"But occasionally you meet a man
who puts In his best licks every day,
and rejolces In the labor; he doesn't
care a continental what the next day
Is going to bring to him, he can handle

gagged with to.day's labor; and he does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook aud Granny;
he isn't trying to see what he can pass
by, but what he can root out; ana he

LONDON, May 29.-Although the fed.

resistance at the Kip river, those who

armies came III touch at Brandfort, are
very skeptical as to the burghers vigor.
ously resisting Lord Roberts advance.
With the British at Kip river the
safety OF the Boer guns at Laings Mex
will be seriously imperilled, for there
will be nothing to hinder Lord Roberts
seizing the Johannesburg. Laings Mex
railroad. Indeed, it is already reported
that the railroad has been cut, and it is
quite possible the first official news will
record the occupation Of Heidelberg.
Lord Roberts may be forced to halt at
the Vaal river to repair the bridge and
get his guns and transport across, but
the mounted men will not be delayed.
1t is said in high quarters that the
speedy announcement of the arrival Of
the British cavalry at johannesburg
