EQUINE INTELLIGENCE.
A Writer Who Believes That Horses
Are Capable of Thinking.


There are people who deny that the
horse Is able to plot, TO conceive or
reason. Some horses are duller than
others, and some apparently are better
equipped for thought than the men in
charge Of them. You teach n horse to
start or stop ut word, and acts Of
Kindness or cruelty are seldom forgot.

thing to harm her.
We have in mind n stallion who WAS
harshly punished. He trca strcd ,lp the
act Of Injustice, and the author Of his
humiliation was compelled to keep
aloof from him. His manner plainly
indicated that the man would get hurt
If he ventured within striking distance.
This stallion trusts those who have
shown him consideration and in the
main is not q had tempered horse He
appears vicious only to those who have
treated him viciously. His knowledge
of right and wrong suggests thought

and the lesson will never be forgotten.
Some horses cunIngly open their
stable doors by removing pegs with
their teeth and thus put plan into oper-
alton. Their imaginatio is fired by
beautiful scenery. Put one in a pad
dock where he can look out upon the
hills and hear the birds sing and you
will quiet his nervous system. In mo-
ments of contemplation he has the
dreamy look Of poet.
About the only time that horse
forgets to think is when he surrepti-
tiously finds his way to the well filed
oat bin. He then does not eat in a
rational way, but gorges himself to
the danger point. This is an unmis- |
taxable evidence of weakness And |
yet there are men endowed with in. |

POISONING THE SYSTEM

1t is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed OF impurities. Con.
stipation keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dullness
and melancholia at first, then un-
slightly eruptions and finally serious
illness unless remedy is applied. De-
Wits Little Early Risers prevent
this trouble by stimulating the liver
and promote easy, healthful actin Of
the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.

1t is the understanding that in that
capacity, though of superior rank,
General Miles will not interfere in any
way with either General Chaffee or
his successor. General Davis, in the
direction of the army in the Philip
pines. He will critically examine the
conditions as he finds them, devolng
his attention entirely to matters of
army administration and not to polit-

will be embodied in a set of reports.
1t is believed here that he will be &C.

his staff; namely, Lieutenant Colonel
Whitney and Colonel Reber, the latter
his son-in-law. Colonel Maus, who is
the inspecting officer of the staff, also

King Alfonso Gets Into Trouble With
His Peysle.

London, Aug. 25.-However different
the views which people of different
creeds may take of King Alfonso's con-
temptuous remarks regarding the
sacred relic known as st. PETERS toe
nail in the Cathedral at Leon, there
seems to be no dou.., judging from
late Spanish advices that he has there
by endangered the crown. Even among
prominent divines of the English
church the opinion is expressed that
Alfonso owes it to the nation. over
which he reigns, and where the church
is the chief Dulwark OF the throne, t.
abstain from showing disbelief in a
relic venerated by nearly all Of his
subjects. The authenticity of the
relic is said to be we'll attested, and
several of Alfonsos predecessors
notably Ferdinand VII. have made
special pilgrimages to do it honor. II
was understood. indeed, that one oh
ject of King Alfonso's recent journey
was to pay reverence to st. Peters
toe nail and then for him in the face
of the venerable prelate who has
charge of the sacred rule, to burst
forth with the remark that it was all
nonsense, it is no wonder that the
religious feeling of Spain is stirred e
its very depths, and that Alfonso's
throne may be said to be tottering.
1t may be of interest to mention in
this connection that during the Span
ish-American war the shrine contain.
ing this relic was the resort of multi.
tudes who went 10 pray for the sue.
cess of the Spanish arms and for the
safety Of loved ones in the Spanish
army or navy. King Alfonso's apol.
ogists are inclined to attribute his
peculiar conduct to an exuberance of
boyish spirits, the king being only 16,
and this explanation might we'll apply
to some of his pranks and surprising
utterances. but his remarks discredit-
ing St. Peters toe nail is generally
taken in Spain as indicating an unbal-
anced mind and perhaps even incurable
insanity, as it seems impossible that
the king, with the careful training
that he received from his religious
mother, has deliberately accepted the
teachings of infdelity.
