Toole. the comedian, to dine at Il we'll

of meeting was fixed and Sothern ar
rived some few minutes before the APP
pointed time. An elderly gentleman
was dining at Il table at some little
distance from that prepared for the
two actors. He was reading a news
paper which he had comfortably ar
ranged before him MS he was eating
his dinner. Sothern walked up to him
and striking him smart blow between
the shoulders said:

turned around angrily. when Sothern
exclaimed: Il beg you n thousand par

friend of mine-a family man whom
l never expected to see here. l hope
you will pardon me-

and Sothern returned to his table,
where he was presently Joined by

Hnrr HORSES Hest.

Have you ever noticed" asked a
day. that every horse left standing by
a curbstone for any length of time in
variably turns around so as To place
his fore feet on the sidewalk: He al
ways does it if the road on which he is
standing slopes the least bit in either
direction. This shows that the horse
has great deal of plain. common
sense. He will not allow himself TO
be worn out where it is not necessary.
If people only had his wisdom. there
would be Il great deal less sickness in
the world than there * ut present.
When a thOughtleSs driver leaves his
horse standing on slope or at an angle
of the street. all the animals weight is
thrown upon one side, causing strain.
and if left long enough painful eN-
haustion. Twenty minutes of such an
ordeal will fatigue a horse more than
n whole days travel. But when he is
able TO plant his fore feet ON the curb
stone il gives him n better plant and
adjusts his weight more equally. Many
of the muscular ailments from which
horses suffer are brought upon them by
being continually obliged To stand by
the gutter side on streets which slope
decidedly. \ good driver will always
seek to rest his horse on a level when
possible" -Philadelph Record.
