Horse Rescued Its Maze.

Cleveland Leader: Harry Riley, a
young farmer living near Woodstown,
pastures his horses in a field through
which runs a muddy creek. The other
day N of the horses came up in a
gallop to the fence surrounding the
house and whinnied loudly. Then it
wheeled about and ran toward the
creek, but no especial attention was
then paid TO it by the family.
Again the beast appeared, dashing
up over the hill, and neighed frantic
ally at the fence. Farmer Riley went
TO the horse and patted il soothingly
on the nose, whereupon the animal
seized him by the coat sleeve and
pulled him up against the fence, as IL
to haul him over it. The horse soon
released Riley and then ran a few feet
toward the creek, wheeled about and
again came back, ~whinnying excited
ly.
The strange actions of the horse
finally convinced Riley that something
unusual was the matter, and when he
started to follow it the delight of the
beast was manifest. The intelligent
animal led Riley to the bank of the
stream, at a spot nearly concealed
by bushes, and there in the quickmire,
with only half of its head visible, was
the other horse, buried and slowly
sinking out of sight.
Riley quickly summoned the help of
neighboring farmers with shovels and
ropes, and after several hours of hard
work succeeded in extricating the
horse from what would certainly have
been its grave had it not been for the
intelligence and faithfulness of its
mate,

ALIGNMENT OF THE POWERS
England, Russia and France Stand
With America Italy and Aus
tria With Germany.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The align
ment of the powers on the German
proposition to make the punishment
OF the Chinese ringleaders Il condition
precedent to negotiations may now
be stated. as follows: Great Britain,
Russia and France stand with the
United States in regarding this prop
osition as ineXpedient. Japan occu-
pies a middle attitude. She is willing
to follow the German lead if all the
powers are agreeable, but only for
the sake of preserving harmony
among the powers and not from a be-
lief in the wisdom of the German
proposition.
Austria and Italy stand shoulder to
shoulder with Germany, making the
dreibund present n solid front. The
first named of the two powers does
not attempt to argue the German
proposition and their nsw make it
apparent they have accepted it with
out much consideration. Nothing is
known here officially of an alternative
proposition which is reported to be
preparing in Europe. If it contains
the same feature as to prior punish
ment as the original proposition il is
not likely to receive approval here.
The fact that Secretary Hay is ex-
pected to return to Washington next
week will not change in II way the
policy of the state department. He
has been in the closest sympathetic
touch with all that has been done re-
speeding China and the stories printed
IN Germany to the effect that he is
coming back to reverse those policies
are pronounced at the department to
be absurd. Officials are impressed with
The conviction that any attempt made
to punish Prince Tuan before negoti-
atoms are undertaken will absolutely
defeat all efforts to obtain a peaceful
and satisfactory settlement. Indeed
1T is believed the attempt of Germany
to a~pprehend such Chinese officials at
this stage has actually been the cause
Of Tuan's promotion, rather than any
thing contained i'm the American re-
lection of the German proposition. 1t
is pointed out that the inevitable re-
suit of such an effort will be to cause
The Chinese officials against whom il
was directed to strive by every means
In their power to secure the supper
OF the throne, just as Tuan has in this
case.
Conger was heard from in a brief
cablegram today. This was not pub
lished, but it is understood to indi.

Helpless Mankind.

Victor Smith in New York. Press:
The British manufacturer makes
eighteen styles of mems ~suspenders
and his American rival 1853. and there
never was a pair made right. The an
gle in the back is too obtuse, allow
ing the straps to slip down over the
shoulders. 1t is strange hat manu-
~facturers never have discovered this.
The first important invention for the
benefit of the soul of man was the
button that fastens on without
thread. The second is this years un-
%dershirt, with only a hole to poke the
head through, and not a single but
ton in sight. Why didn't we have
this garment 100 years ago? The
statement of the Haberdasher thai
not ten men in 200 can support their
trousers without suspenders is rot.
Scarcely n young man in the south
and west wears suspenders, and until
recently few used belts. 1t has been
the custom from time immemoriaf to
wear "hip-breeches," the waistband
frightened by a strap and buckle be-
hind. Nearly all Italians wear belts
even under their vests. Personally, |
think a belt and n vest are as vile
a combination as a silk hat and a sack
coat, a straw hat and n frock coat.
and suspenders and a negligee shirt.

able here. / am a lawyer myself-as
my friends here--Judge Beeswinger-
ehp.-I beg your pardoni-"
The officer of the law had momen-
tarily started, with his eyes fixed on
Judge Beeswinger, who, however,
seemed to be quietly writing at the
table.
"As Judge Beeswinger," continued
Colonel Starbottle, "will probably tell
you-and, as a jurist himself, he will
also probably agree with me when 1
also inform you-that as the United
States government is an aggrieved
party, it is a matter of the federal
courts to prosecute, and that the only
officer we can recognize is the United
States marshal for the district. When
j add that the marshal, Colonel Crack
ehthorpe, is one of my oldest friends,
n an active sympathizer with the
south in the present struggle, YOU
will understand that any action from
him in this matter is exceedingly inn
probable.'
The general murmur of laughter,
relief and approval was broken by
the quiet voice of Judge B~eeswinger.
Let me see your warrant, Mr.. Dep
uty oneIlH1
The officer approached him with a
slightly perplexed and constrained
air and exhibited the paper.
Judge Beeswinger handed il back
to him.
Colonel Starbottle is quite right in
his contention" he said, quietly; 1.-The
only officer that this assembly can
recognize is the United States mar
shal or his legal deputy. But Colonel
Starbottle is wrong in his SUPPOSE
ton that Colonel Crackenthorpe still
retains the functions of that Office.
He was removed by the president of
the United States, and his successor
was appointed and sworn in by the
federal Judge early this morning"
He paused, and, folding up the pa
per on which he had been writing,
placed it in the hands of the deputy.
And this" he continued, In the same
even voice, CONSTITUTES you his depu-
ty, and will enable you to carry out
your duty in coming here"
What the devil does this mean,
sirP Who are you?" gasped Colonel
~Starbottle, recoiling suddenly from
the man at his side.
II am the new United States mar
shall for the southern district of Cal.
