obtain the name and address of the man to whom the horse had been sold.
 This young man did not succeed in finding the buyer of his horse until the next day, and when he did it was only to find that the horse had been sold by the buyer for a lower price than he paid for it. The horse had never been in harness, and when the gentleman who bought it harnessed it it kicked up good deal, but did not become unmanageable until the man had driven 1t about five miles from town; thsn the floor was kicked out of the runabout and the harness broken. The purchaser, of course, did not know that the horse had racing quali- ties, and thought that he had been bum koed into buying a horse that looked fully five years old, but had not been broken.
 When he found himself suddenly sitting in the road, with broken up runabout for company and his horse just disappearing in a cloud of dust over distant hilltop, he can hardly be blamed for not caring whether he ever saw the brute again. However, while thus soliloquizing, man came down the road in wagon leading the horse that he had just caught. The purchaser was so thoroughly disgust ed with the animal that he sold it to the man in the wagon for five dollars.
 When asked if he knew the man to whom he had sold the horse he said that he had never seen him before and did not even think would recognize him if he saw him again.
 The young man has been trying to locate his horse for several days, but has not succeeded in doing so as yet.

A FAMOUS RACE HORSE.
Was Sold for Eight Dollars Through 8
 Stable Boys Mistske.

A famous race horse, for which an offer of $900 had been refused at the recent Benning meeting, was sold for eight dollars the other day at a local auction house and then sold by the purchaser for five dollars, says the Baltimore American. The horse in question belonged to ayoung society man of Baltimore, who en- tered the animal at the Benning races.
 The horse proved valuable as fast rurAer by winning several races. The owner was offered $900 for the horse, which he refused, saying that he would not take less than $1 1000. He then decided to bring the animal to Baltimore and sell it at public action ata leading auction stable. Afterno- tifying his friends who wished to buy the horse of his intentions, the young man brought the racer to Baltimore and left him with his stable boy, in- structlng hlm to take the horse 10 the auction house.
 The young man then repaired to the place of auction, where his friends were congregated. In the rain they waited for the appearance of the boy with the steed, but hedid not show up until the party had hada wait of about two hours or more. When he die, he did not have the horse with him, but in its place a check for six dollars and a bill of sale. It appears that the boy made a mistake in the name of the auction house and took the horse to thewrong stable, where it was offered for sale, bringing eight dollars, with deduc- tion of two dollars for the auctioneers, leaving six dollars for the former own- CT of the horse. The horses first own CT went to the auction house where the valuable horse had been sold at such ridiculously low price. When be arrived he could do no more than

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Guests Have Funny Experiences Due to
 Watchfulness of Guards.

Guests at the white house have had some funny experiences. A man and his wife were assigned to apartments in the house. The man went out to attend dinnerand did not return un- til after midnight. The men at the door at that hour had not seen him and had not been informed that he was stopping at the house. Natural ly they stopped him when he started to pass through the yestibule toward the residence portion. He explained that he and his wife were occupying rooms upstairs, but that same thing could have been said by some one seeking to gain admission to the pri- vate rooms of the president. The doorkeepers insisted on identifica- tion, but as every one was in bed and no one cared to arouse the president at that hour of the night, 1t looked as if the visitor would be obliged to go downtown for the night Fortu- nately a night watchman who was making a round of the building chanced to remember that the man had visited there once before This, with other evidence that the visitor was able to produce, convinced the doorkeepers, and he was permitted to % upstairs to bed.

THIRTEEN BROKEN MIRRORS.
Here Is Bad Luck for Someb body with
 Great Avengeance

The fatality of the number 3 was well exhibited yesterday in the estab- lishment of Chaudron X Peyton, deal CTS in plate mirrors. Alarge consign- ment of French plate, eight feet high by five feet wide. had been received from Paris for the Crystal Maze in the Industrial exposition, says the Baltimore Sun. There are several hundred of these huge mirrors in the maze, and they have been import, ed in large boxes of l2 each.
 Owing to the fact that an uneven number are required, 13 instead of 12 were packed in one box, and the number "13" in large black figures was marked on its outside. The other boxes were all unpacked and the con- tents found intact, but when the luck less "13' box was opened every mir TOT in it was found shattered into fragments as though it had been sub- jected to heavy blow.
 In such large shipment of glass there is generally number of plates broken, but the fact that the entire contents of box IS, instead of one or two here and there, being smashed, caused not a little comment among the work people in the neighborhood.

A toast to the Old-Time Lawyer2 Each day diminishes his numbers and adds to the brightness Of his laurels. He blazed the way for legal precedents, established the landmarks for common law principles, and, besides making the rich legal literature which illumines the progress of this nation, laid broad and deep the foundations upon which civil liberty and the growth of our civilization rests.
