BELIEVES IN HORSE SENSE.
Veterinarian C~onaverted by a sicl
Steed That Sought q
Doctor.

Experience has convinced me that there
is such a thing as horse sense" said a veter.
mary surgeon who has a shop on the South
side. ga friend of mine had a beautiful
chestnut driving mare that was subject to
severe spells of collie. About a year ago she
got very sick and Jones, the owner, brought
her over here for treatment. I cared for
her, and she seemed as grateful as a human
being might, rubbing her nose against my
coat sleeve, and showing her affection in her
dumb way.
Zone day about six months ago up she
came to the door of the shop, moaning and
evidently, suffering. acutely. I treated her
again and she got better. I found out aft.
erward that there was no one at her home
stable that day and that she had worked
the halter off and had set out to find the
DOCTOR"
"Curious circumstance" said the man
who had heard the story.
"But that's not all of it" said the doctor.
."Three days ago I came down to my Office
in the morning about nine o'clock. There
lay the chestnut mare in front of the door
dead. She had been taken sick, had made
her way as before. to the shop in the night,
and found nobody there to give her medi.
cines, and she had died. Now, if this story
isn't proof that a horse can reason I would
like to hear something to beat it."-Chicago

SHOCKING A LANDLORD.
The Guests Wanted Cheap Game In
stead of High-Priced
Store Meat.

We had been at a Rocky Mountain hotel
for a week, and beefsteak and mutton chops
had been on the bill of fare at every meal
to the exclusion of all other meats. It was
finally decided to send the colonel to the
landlord to protest, and having gained the
ear of mine host, he said:
II want to speak to you in a good.
natured way about your meats"
"My meats?" echoed the landlord. "Why
is there anything wrong about my meats?
I'm getting the very best"

Of money to get 'em here, yes, sir, almost
worth their weight in silver, but I must have

"We don't complain. What I wanted to
ask you was about game. There must be
game around here"
"Of course. Do you mean to say that
your crowd wants v%enison, bear meat, ante.

"Exactly. Yes, that's what we want"

"Well, I'll be hanged. Here, Jim, tell

Here's a crowd kicking about steaks at IS

Washington, March 2O.-The con-

receded from the senate amendment
limiting the appropriation to the reven-

as follows:

that shall hereafter be collected under

The provision in the senate amend

the Inonev shall be used is retained
but an addition is made declaring
specifically that il shall be for the aid
and relief of the Porto Ricans. The
bill as agreed upon reads as follows:
