The humane agent had party
from Porter before Judge Houx this
morning. II seems the party in
question turned horse out to starvs
and die some time ago. The horse
hung around some of the Durango
corals although the owner was mott
the humane agent took up the case
and then the owner obtained a party
to take the animal into the hills and
shoot it. The man was released up
on paying the costs. There are nc
doubt many such cases. 1t does seen
that some people have no hearts In
them, or they would not do sucf
things.

A thousand thoughts come fiocking to my

Out of the misty past that lies behind

he MADE 1T PLAIN.
Not Exactly n Case of Gratitude Nor
Yet One of Utter Unthank-
fulness.

A gentleman whose liberality in no
way corresponded to his means found
out one day that there was some ale
in his cellar almost spelling, and de-
cided to get rid of it without delay,
relates the New Yorker.
The next morning when he was
rambling over his estate he came
across party of workman. Address
ing the man in charge, he ostenta-
tiously presented the ale to the men,
and said they could go and fetch it
as they liked,
A few days afterward he happened
to meet the foreman again, and i'm
mediately proceeded to extract from
him in some way suitable acklowl-
edgment of the bounty recently be-
slowed.
swell, Williams" said the donor,
with the air of man who had
granted an unspeakable favor, Ibid
you and YOUR men have that ale?"
"Oh, yes sir, thank you, we had it,
was the reply.
That's right, and how did you like
it?" said the gentleman, desiring a
warmer expression of gratitude.
"Oh, sir, it was just the thing for
u.s." was the rather vague response.
"Ha, that1l do then. But what do
you mean by just the thing""
"Well, sir" said Williams, IF it 'ad
been little better we shouldn't a
'ad it, and if it 'ad been little worse
we couldn't drinked it,"

Making Matters Worse.

A philanthropic lady visited the
asylum at Kingston, Ont, not long
ago and displayed great interest In
the inmates. One old man particu-
larly gained her compassion.
"And how long have you been here

twelve years." was the answer.
"Do they treat you well?"
Eyes"
do they feed you well?"
Eyes"
After addressing a few more ques-
tions to him, the visitor passed on.
She noticed broad and broadening
smile on the face of her attendant,
and on asking the cause heard with
CONSERVATION that the old man was
none other than DR.. Clark, the SUI
perintendent.
She hurried back to make apollo
gies. How successful she was may
be gathered from these words: II
am very sorry, DR.. Clark. will never
be- governed by appearances again."

reached home, but finding nothing,
I concluded that you had either taken
1t or that it was in the piano."

returned the sister. There was no
letter there, at any rate-.-nothing but
some old bills and about SO marks in
money"
"Then I'll inspect the piano"
With that Karl Vandofen arose and
moved the instrument to lighter
part of the room. In very few
moments he had taken away a por-
ton of the casing, and his first act
was to show his sister the threadlike
wire attached to the base of one of
the hammershanks, the prime cause
of all that hideous laughter. With
small stool which he had brought
for the purpose he unwound the mid
die G note of the keyboard to prove
to her that the enchantment was
gone. %
He next gave his attention to the
double back of the instrument, dis
closing the unusual bit of space to
which he had alluded, with it's queer
piece of mechanism within = the
laughing-jack. Near the latter was a
carefully sealed envelope, addressed
to Karl in scrawling hand and let
tered in faultless German--the faith
er's special legacy to his son and
daughter.
With trembling hand Karl opened
it, to find therein the following mes
sage, also in German:
Thus the magnificent piano deliv-
cred it's message, which touched a
tender spot in the heart of each re-
cipient. Nothing was left them but
to obey, with Karl as principal actor
| in the drama.
A few months later the wishes ex-
pressed in the letter were all full
| filed save one. And Karl had taken
the initial step towards it's consum-
nation, having begun to pay atten-
ton to a buxom little lass in Ber-
| lin with view to installing her
finally as mistress of the Vandofen
mansion.-New York Times.

A PxANO THAT
LAUGHED
BY CLAUDIA MAY PERRIN.
DoOoOoOoO<

MI ONE coulu play upon lt-that
IN is, no one whose nerves were
very sensitive or whose horrors of
the uncanny or the inexplicible were
in the ascendency. A magnificent
piece of workmanship it was, to be
sure, famous since completion for its
sweet tone and it's wide compass of
expression. Yet it stood there in
Mr.. Briggs parlor ready to indulge in
mocking laughter at whatsoever
should dare to seek its music.
The laughter in itself was sufficient
to unnerve even the most courageous
scoffer at the possibilities of ghost
dom. 1t was a harsh, grating "Ho,
ha ha!'-such as a merrymoklng
bedlam will give vent to, and with as
little occasion for utterance. The
longer anyone played the louder the
laughter became, until even the bold
est would clasp his hands to his ears
and arise in nervous haste. Another
strange thing was that 1t did not be-
gin until the performer touched the
note G, continuing until he ceased
playing, whether that note was sound
ed again or not. 1t stopped as soon
as the last echo died away, which
caused more than one to gaze back
at the instrument in shame faced con-
fusion.
'What shall we do with it?" said
Mrs. Briggs, helplessly, after final
effort to play upon it without needing
its ridicule.
Sell it," replied her husband,
promptly.
mo, no, mol" she cried. Father
made me promise upon my knees
that I'd never part with it. Besides,
who'd want it? must have a piano
that ! can play upon, for I cannot
live without music"
swell, then, I'll send an expert to
examine it-what say your"
Send him, of course. But what
good can he do? The laughter was
not heard until after father died,
and you know that the letter G was
his initial-G for Gottlieb."
1T is a strange coincidence, to be
sure. But g may also stand for
Iretna," said the practical Mr.. Briggs.
Lets see what the pianomaker will
discover before we worry further.
Then IL he cannot remedy the trouble
IN get you new one"
The next day the expert came, TAX
ing apart the beautiful instrument
and infinitely inspecting every detail
in its makeup. To their dismay he
discovered nothing out of the or
binary, informing them instead that
it was the best made instrument he
had ever examined. His efforts proved
a failure, obviously; for as soon as
he had put it together again it stood
ready to emit that blood-curdling
laughter in the face of any and every
performer.
The instrument was made in Ger
many by the father-of the cultured
Mrs. Briggs. Gottlieb vandofen had
been one of the leading manufac-
turers of pianos in Berlin, also own
ing large manufacturing interests in
Paris and London. He was reputed
as fabulously wealthy, yet at his
death the entire bulk Of his fortune
did not exceed 100000 in American
money. This was divided between his
daughter, Mrs. Briggs, and his SON,
Karl Vandofen. A sense of disap-
pointment was experienced by the
former, though she tried to persuade
herself that she had known so lit
tie about her fathers business af-
fairs that perhaps she had overes-
timated his financial worth.
The son was absent in Australia and
its neighborisg islands when the

Poultry That Paid

The Hanford Sentinel tells of an egg ranch, the property of w. 0. Me- Farlane, that is an object lesson. MT. McFarlane started in the poultry busi- ness ten years ago with no capital but good sense and industry and dispo- sition to stay with the business. He now has a brooder 22x64 feet with 1000 bright Leghorn chicks. It has sixteen runs and the temperature is maintained at from 90 degrees for the little fellows down to 80 dergees for the older ones. His loss of chicks amounts to no more than per cent. "When the chickens are ready to leave the brooder," says the Sentinel, "they are turned out into the pens, of which there are fourteen, eight containing little more than a third of an acre of each, and six small CT yards are sown to alfalfa and the other half is laid out in the peach orchard. Water is piped to every yard and furnished to the chikens by means chickens havespure and fresh water all the time. There are no puddles or mud holes about.'
 Mir. McFarlane has refused $5000 for his egg farm with stock and appurte- nances. He now has 2200 chickens, big and little, on hand, of which 700 are laying hens.
 While it is true that a man cannot raise chickens with six mules and a whip, there is good thing in it for a patient and careful man who does not want the earth.

Surrender of the Boers

The London war office has received the following message from Lord Kitchener:
 "The disarmament of the Boer's is proceeding satisfactorily, and good spirit is displayed everywhere. Satur- day 4342 rifles had been surrendered up to date."
 Dispatches received bv the Associated Press from Pretoria confirm the state- ments made in Lord Kitchener s com munication to the war office and say that the whole staff of the Transvaal government, with body guard of fifty men, surrendered last Saturday.
 The following formalities are observ- ed when General Botha, General Dewet or any of the Boer commandants ac- company the British officer who had been detailed to receive surrenders:
 The Boer leader goes out to receive a commando and returns at its head. The Boers who come in aie generally dressed in dilapidated clothing, but have smart and soldierly bearing. Those who are to surrender are as- sembled and the Boer leader delivers an addess to his men urging them to listen to the British officer who has been detailed on the work. The British officer then makes speech to the men of the commando, in which he informs them of the admiration of King Edward and the British nation for the gallant struggle and the bravey of their people and promises that the British authorities will do their utmost to help them resettle on their farms. A meal is then provided for the Boers, after which the formal sur renders occur.
 The Boers are allowed to retain their horses and saddles. The majority of them appear to be glad that the war is at an end and that they will now be able to join their families. Among the men who have surrender ed to the British authorities at Bal moral, Cape Colony, were four Ameri- cans, who will be granted free passage to Delagoa Bay.
 Throughout the dominions of the British empire, and especially in all the principal towns of South Africa, thanksgiving services for the return of peace were held Sunday. Lord Kitch- ener attended thanksgiving service at Pretoria at which COCO British troops were present.

The conference report upon the sen- ate bill to protect wild game and birds in Alaska was adopted.
 Mir. Lacy of Iowa moved the adop- tion, under suspt nsion of the rules, of a rule to make the bill to transfer cer- tain forest reserves to the agricultural department and for protection of game therein special order until disposed of. Mir. Lacy said the bill had Oeen prepared to meet the recommendation upon the subject in President Roose- velt's annual message.
 After some debate, in the course of which Mir. Bell and Mir. Shafroth of Colorado opposed it, the special order was adopted.
 A bill to aid salmon culture in Alaska was defeated. Mir. Sulzer of New York moved to pass it under sus- pension of the Jules, but it failed to secure the necessary two-thirds.
 The special rule for the considera- tion of the antianarchy bill until dis posed of was adopted.
 TUESDAY.
 SENATE-After a debate on the Philippine Government Bill continuing seven weeks, tie senate passed the measure by vote of AS to 30.
 When the senate convened, Mir. Hale of Maine, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, reported the naval appropriation bill, and gave notice that he would call it up for considera- tion at the earliest time.
 Mir. Foraker of Ohio called up the house concurrent resolution, extending the thanks of congress to Secretary of State John Hay for his memorial address delivered to the two branches of congress on the life and character of William Mckinley.
 MT. Allison of Iowa moved that the senate concur in the resolution, and the motion was agreed to without com ment or division.
 Consideration was resumed under the tifteen-minute rule, of the Philip pine Government bill. Mir. McLaurin of Mississippi denied that the Demo. crats had attacked the army, and placed the responsibility for the out rages committed in the Philippines upon the policy advocated by the Re- publicans.
 The senate, on motion of Mir. Mor- gan, chairman of the committee on interoceanic canals, made the bill pro- viding for the construction of canal by the Nicaraguan route the unfinished business.
 HOUSE-When the house met, Mir. Burton of Ohio called up the confer ence report on the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation bill. After some debate the report was adopted. As soon as signed by the presiding officers of each house it will go to the president. Under the order adopted yesterday, the house went into committee of the whole to consider the bill for the pro- lection of the president of the United States and for other purposes-known as the anti-anarchy bill.
 Bills were passed for holding terms of the circuit court of appeals of the eighth circuit annually at Denver, Cheyenne and St. Paul to authorize light and fog signal station at Sem- iahoo Harbor, Washington, and sen- ate bill to grant 160 acres of land em- bracing certain hot springs to the State of Idaho.
