HIS HORSE STOOD SENTRY.
A Faithful Racers watch Over His
Intoxicated Master.
(From the Spirit Of the Times.)

ttrom the Spirit OF the ftmes-)
This reads like a fairy tale but il is
true. At the sale of the late Marcus Da-
ly's thoroughbreds William Lakeland,
one of our well-known metropolitan train
ers, bought Ogden for 400 This is a
valuable horse by Kilwa rlin-Oriole, foaled
in 1894 winner of the Futurity of his year
and many other important events and
whose family figures show twelve English
Derby winners. All this just TO show the
kind of gentleman he is. Lakeland wished
to take him down to his SheepShead sta
bles that night, and after talk with his
foreman, Frasch. Ogden was despatched
by road in the care of a colOred stable
boy. TO whom Lakeland gave s. as an in
ducement to take extra good care OF the
horse.
Blanketed and hooded from hOofs to
ear tips, Ogden serenely wendell his way
through the falling snow, and doubtless
wondered il ne were going back to Mon
tana and the familiar Bitter Root farm
Later Mr. Lakeland went home and sat
up hour after hour waiting for the COM
ing of his new purchase, but none came.
His feelings may be better imagined than
described He loves his horses. as evil
denced by his wonderful success with Tea
Tray and other erratic animals which he
brought round to a proper state of mind
He sat up all night. sending messengers
in all directions until dawn, and by that
time he was ready to take up the quest
himself.
1t was not the money that was worry
ing him; il was the exposure of a good
horse TO the inclement weather and what
the probable results might prove. Just
then came a cali from the telephone which
sent him flying down the boulevard at a
rapid gait. The police precinct wanted 10
know If he had lost a horse and what he
was like, reporting that Ogden had been
found by an officer standing in the road.
with the colored boy drunk at his feet.
In other words, the horse was taking care
of the drunken lout as many horse has
done before and will again, bless them for
it, Mr. Lakeland found Ogden safe and
sound at the precinct, apparently very
much at home, and soon had him in his
own stall As for the stable boy Mr..
Lakeland declined to bother with him.

THE KIND OF MEN
WHO NEVER MARRY

There was never yet bachelor Of 40
whose heart has not been at some wo-
mans feet TO take or leave, as she
would" says a well known writer, and
this. generally speaking, is absolutely
true.
However, there is one type of man. a
very rare one fortunately, who from a
mixture of cold love of self and miseTli-
ness rigidly eschews matrimony.
OF such one the story is told that,
being on one occasion somewhat i'm
pressed by the bright eyes and red lips
of a certain damsel, he gave some
thought to the married state and pom
dered Ger the advisability of entering It.
Racked with doubt, he ordered a large
meat pie to be prepared, and on its ap-
pearance divided it in half. There was
amplel Then the reflection crossed his
mind that in course of time a subGivi-
sion might be necessary.
The portions were divided by trem-
bling hand into two. He looked, hesi-
tated and scraped them all on to his
own plate.
The damsel had TO find another lover.
