HORSE WITH HORSE SENSE.
The Intelligent Animal Learned How
10 Operate an Automatic
Feeding Machine.

The manager OF the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage compuny, Mr.. Vose,
has gray horse which knows as much
as any animal in the city, says the Port
land Press, not excepting the fire de-
partment horses. us his owner thinks.
The company stables It's horses on Fore
street, and Mr.. Vose's horse is also
kept there. TO do away with the ne
cessity OF hiring man TO go to the
stable at four O'clock every morning
to feed these horses an ingenious device
was arranged which answered every
purpose until the arrival OF the gray
horse. The device consisted Of two
alarm clocks which were set to go
off at four o'clock. heavy weight
was SO arranged that when the
alarm started the weight would
drop and pull wire which opened the
trap doors and the feed then came tum-
bling into the managers Of The horses.
After the arrival Of the gray horse
it was noticed that all Of the horses
became 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 were 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 it. Down
came into the hangers the feeu that
was intended to fall at four o'clock. or
course the horses proceeded TO eat at
once, and before noon were very hun
CRY. A man now feeds the horses at
four o'clock, and the gray horse pulls
the wire in vain.

A BoER GIRLS WEDDING.
A Picturesque Anair Preceded by
sports nnd Followed by Pro-
Ionged Gayety.

A wedding is always an event Of al
most national Importance, and is really
most picturesque ceremony. The
friends and relatives may arrive day
or two ahead Of time, according to the
distance TO be travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes a most animated
scene. Scores Of ox-teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are bustling around; guns are
fired promikcuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the cot
tage, and everywhere around it; i'm
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and Joy is uncon-
fined. After the ceremony, and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom, the wedding feast is eaten,
and then the guests spend the night
in dancing and playing games. Itwould
be breach of etiquette for any of the
guests to depart before the dawn, and,
indeed the flddler's music and the
sound made by the dancing feet are
often heard until noon of the following
day. The wedding tour consists Of a
journey to the cottage and farm which

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS

That drunkenness is a disease cannot
admit of question on the part of man
who has made any attempt to inform him
self in regard to it. 1t is also we'll known
that it is disease that does not spring
suddenly upon it's victim, but had been
created by the long continued use of
alcohol Medicine, until the discovery of
the Kelley Remedies, had known no
remedy. In few cases a cure had been
induced by sheer strength of will power
A good constitution had rallied to the
assistance of the mighty power of a
determined choice, stirred to make a
giant effort for self-delverance. But lit
tie had been expected and little had been
accomplished in this direction. The
Kelley Cure is one of the triumphs of
medical science that is destined to be a
blessing to generations yet to be. There
is no reason why the whole world may
not become debtors to this discovery
Alcoholism has spread all over the
world and Is everywhere the source of
death and disease There is now an In
stitute in nearly every State in the Union,
but none so popular or well known as
The Kelley Institute at Greensboro n.
c.. and there any one who is suffering
from the disease of alcoholism may,
after treatment of a few weeks, expect
permanent relief. A trial will convince
the most skeptica.
