A Pair.of Horses That stopped whel

A Pair.o Horses That Stopped When
the whistles Blew.
A pair of intelligent horses attracted
the attention of a large .crewd OF Mas
sau street ut noon one day last week.
They were attached to q heavily load
ed ice wagon coming down the steep
grade between Cedar street and Maid
en- lane and were holding back the
wagon with q noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for II o'clock. Suddenly the
horses drew in toward the curb and
began to plant their hind feet .well for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and.thentat the driver, who
had a broad grim onthissface. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his ami
mails. One of them Immediately be-
gan rubbing his head against the neck
Of the other and with mods and pushes
succeeded in rubbing his bride OF.
Then the other horse took his turnsat
rubbing, and his brid,e came of.
Fully 200 persons lad watched this,
and when it was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung a
bag Of oats over the 1ose of each ami
NAL. They stood there and ate their
midday meal. The driver was patient
and proud Of his team He .petted them
and talked to them and when they
were through drove OF whistling.

beats anything I eva r saw. No one
hereafter need try q, convince me OF
the intelligence Of TIN, horse. That Ice

THROUGH the efforts of Gov.
White Valley City is to get a IL
brary donation Of $4,000 from
Andrew Carnegie, the require
ments being that the city shall
furnish a site and guarantee an
annual maintenance. Under the
law 2 city can vote a certain
amount yearly for library purpo-
ses, and there is little doubt that
Valley City will meet all the re-
quirements. It is estimated that
a.3-mill tax will be sufficient to
meet the requirements. This will
mean much for Valley City.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT BLAZE.
JAMES H. GLoyER's HOUSE BURNED Al
SOUTH PARIS.

The house of James III. Glover on
Pleasant Street, South Paris, was burned
early Wednesday morning. IL was a
one-story house, with small stable,
standing next east of Electra Park, on
the north side of the street
The fire was discovered few minutes
after midnight by the men on freight
train which was coming up the line. AS
the train pulled into the yard, the engine
sounded the alarm. Several other trains
were standing in the yard, with some
half dozen engines in all attached. and
all assisted in giving the alarm. Need
less to say, in q very few minutes the
village and surrounding territory were
fully informed of the fact that there WAS
fire.
The members of the fire department
promptly turned out and were soon on
the spot, but only one stream was used.
The fire had made such Roadway when
discovered that there was no hope for
the house, and only a few remnants Of
the walls were left standing. The end
of the stable, which stood only few
feet from the house, was on fire when
the first of the neighbors arrived at the
place, but the flames were extinguished,
and the stable was saved with little
damage.
The fire apparently started around the
chimney in the attic. Mr.. Glover and
his young son were the only persons in
the house, the rest of the family being
away on visit for the night. Mr..
Glover awoke and discovered that the
ceiling Of the room was on fire. With
his son he made hurried exit through
the window, not even stopping to dress.
A few of the household goods were
saved.
There was an insurance of 1926 on the
house, and $40 on the stable.

Made Up For Lost Time.

When President Kruger sailed for
England some years ago, he was the
object Of much concern to his fellow
passengers on board the liner from
Cape Town, many Of whom were con-
sumed with curiosity when they no.
ticed his absence from the dinner table
for the first four days out.
On inquiry they found that the care
full Transvaaler spent the dinner hour
on deck, where he ate biltong and bis
cults. When asked his reason, he tes-
tily replied. II have no money to fool
away on expensive eating, like you
Englishmen."
The correspondent who tells the story
and who was on board at the time
adds, you should have seen the old
man trying to make up for lost time
when it was explained to him that his
passage money included his meals on
board"

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim 1t Is
principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t Is bullheadedness, pure
and simple. 1t is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county Is put to con-
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to "split the
difference" he will probably accept q
proposition to leave 1t to three neigh
bors.-Atchison Globe.

HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW.
They Use skewers For Needles and
Giraffe Sinews For Thread.

They Use Skewers For Needles and
Giraffe Sinews For Thread.
The skill of the Zulus of South Africa
in sewing fur Is household word in
South Africa, and some of the other
tribes compete with them. The needle
employed is widely different from that
used by the ordinary needlewomen. In
the first place, it has no eye; in the
second, it is like a skewer, pointed at
one end and thick at the other.
The thread is not Of cotton. but Is
made Of the sinews Of various animals,
the best being made from the sinews
in the neck Of a giraffe. 1t Is stiff,
inelastic, with great tendency to
"kink" and tangle itself up with any
thing near 1t. Before being used 1t is
stepped in hot water until 1t is quite
soft and Is then beaten between two
smooth stones. which causes 1t to sep
arate into filaments, which can thus be
obtained Of any length and thickness.
Thus the seamstress has a considera-
BILE amount of labor before she COM
mences with the real work in hand.
Finally she sQuats on the ground
(for no native stands to work or do
anything else who can possibly help
IT. and. taking her needle, bores two
holes in the edges Of the rug or gar
ment on which she Is working. The
thread is then pushed through with
the butt of the needle, drawn tight,
and two more holes are made with
a like result. the skewer progressing
very slowly, but fast enough for
country where time is Of no value
whatever.
The skin upon which the seamstress
Is working is damped with water be-
fore she commences. and as the damp
thread and hide dry out they bring the
work very closely together.
