HORSE Is DEAD.
But It Causes Joseph Reed Much
Trouble.

Joseph Reed, the lawyer, is in trouble
on account of a horse. The horse is out
of trouble for it is dead.
Reed defended the three Brubaker
brothers who were convicted of stealing
hogs. The Brubakers gave him horse
to insure payment of his fees. After
the three Brubakers went to the peni-
tentiary the remaining members of the
family brought suit in the city court
to recover the horse. The case was ap-
pealed to the district court and is now
awaiting trial before Judge HaZen. The
complication arises over the. fact that
the horse died few days ago.

amused foreign observer to err. He
may fancy that he detects here long

with republican simplicity; but every
American knows that the desire to see
lion does not imply wish to own

The trait manifestS itself in many
ways. The desire of the American girl
travelling abroad TO be present at court
and the willingness Of her father to
provide the appropriate raiment are
expressions of it. What matter if the
consciousness that she viii carry back
to her native place a special distinc-

tune to the queen of England or Italy
does add a certain attraction to the eX-
perience?
But as the woman who has been pre-
scented becomes each year a more ia
miliaT object, so the royal visitor bids
fair to lose his rarity value" 1t is now
