in cases where consultation was I'M
necessary. The daughter of the fam
ily opined that he had experienced
religion; the son declared that he
had received ghostly warning as to
his immediate demise, but the mys-
terry remained impenetrable until one
evening when Nelson asked permits
sion to go home earlier than usual,
saying that his wife wanted him.
"Why, Nelson, l didn't know you
had wife"
"Oh, yessum, 1 gotter wife, but

The effect of Maria upon her liege
was most pronounced as time went
on. Nelson no longer firmly waved
away orders and conducted his de-
partment on the most despotic plan;
the cook began to impose upon him
and the mistress of the mansion even
) yentured to scold him. His polite.
ness deepened and willingness to re-
main after hours, If only he had the
4 authority of the head of the family
for doing so, became one OF his most
pronounced characteristics. In fact
Nelson was now jewel without q
flaw
But all this was quite too good to
last, and one day the mistress Of
the mansion was sadly surprised tt

her orders with calm faith in hi

HAS A QUEER LOOK.
How a Constable Got the Horse of a
Poor Farmer

Thomas Wheeler farmer who has
resided at Eighth North and Twelfth
West streets for many years, has made
a complaint about the lax manner in
which certain officials, both city and
county perform the duty for which they
are paid.
1t appears that Mr.. Wheeler owned
mare which he thought considerable
Of. The animal was old and thin and
was not worth much, but he did not
care to part with It. About six weeks
ago he missed the animal from his
place and was unable to find IT. Last
Saturday he discovered It In the nos
session. he says, OF Constable Ben
Haddock, Some OF Haddooks children
had been riding 1t about. Mr.
wheeler spoke TO Haddock about the
matter and asked for his property. but
haddock refused to give up the animal
claiming that b. had purchased it from
boy for fifty cents.
Mr. Wheeler then went 20 the police
station and asked what he could do
about Il They referred him 10 the
prosecuting attorney He saw Mr.
Schulder but was Informed that the
only way he could get the horse was to
replevln IL. Schulder told him. accord.
Ing to the old gentlemans sto. y. that
he could not have the boy arrested,
that he did not steal the horse. but
Just took IT,.
Mr., Wheeler then sought Mr.. Loot
borrow, assistant county attorney and
got about the same amount or satisfac-
ton as he did from the city prosecutor
Mr. LOufbourow said he could not have
the boy arrested. The only way
Wheeler codld regain possession Of the
animal was to purchase IT, In other
words he was TO buy his own property.
They failed TO give MIR Wheeler any
satisfactory reason why the boy who
took the horse should not be prosecuted
for theft or grand larceny. 1t was not
his horse. 1t belonged to Mr.. Wheeler
and no one had any right to take the
animal and dispose Of her for 50 cents
or any other price
Mr. Wheeler said when he asked
Haddock for the animal, Ha1dock told
him he would not give II up unless
Wheeler paid a pasture bill and the
amount he (Haddock) had paid for the
horse,
