THE HORSE PLAYED A JOKE.
Drew His Young Mistress Up to a
store Where She Didn't
Want to Go.

"You may think horses haven't any
sense if you want to-" remarked a
lady from Mississippi to a group of
friends seated around one of the
tables in the Peabody cafe, according
to the Memphis Scimitar, "but 1 had
an experience when I was a girl that
taught me that they have sense
enough to get one in all sorts of pre-
dicaments.
81 carried a friend of mine driving
through a town where there was a
young man from New Orleans sery-
ing as a clerk in one of the large sup
ply stores that were feature of the
country town few years ago. He
had paid me a great deal of attention,
and, to tell you the truth, I liked him
very much, and, though I was not
willing to admit it at that time, and
denied the accusation with true fem
innine promptitude in such matters,
I always made it a point to go to
that store for something every time
I went to town.
s'On this ccasion, however, 1 had
no excuse to GO and see him and did
not intend doing so, as he had caught
on to the fact that I never came to
town without seeing him. But as we
crossed the railroad, right in front of
the town, the bride bit came in two
and I, of course, lost control of the
animal, and he, finding that no one
was guiding him, turned himself
around and marched as straight back
to that store as if / had driven him
with the utmost precision.
"And that's not the worst of it, y"
said she, in conclusion. mo sooner
had he got to the store than he gave
one of those little 'nickers' peculiar
to himself, and familiar to the young
man. The young fellow was there in
a iiffy and I-well, I wished that I
wasn't. My face turned all the colors
of the rainbow and wound up in the
most delicate touch of crimson. /
explained to him in my confusion
that I had not intended to come to
see him, but the horse would bring
me. and he didn't object"

GERMANY'S CLAIM
JUST $2,OOO,OOO
PRESIDENT CASTRO SAYS HIS
COUNTRY HAS LITTLE CREDIT
ABROAD, AS 1T is JUST EN- M=Re-
ING FROM A WAR.

Berlin, December 2.--The published
statement that Germany's claims against
Venezuela amount to $l5,O0OO00 is, the
correspondent of the Associated Press is
officially informed. incorrect. While the
German government is not yet ready to
publish the details of its demands. per-
sons who have seen the papers say the
total Is about s., 900, 900. President Castro
represents to Germany that Venezuela
has little credit abroad that the coun-
try is just emerging from civil war
during which planting and industry were
partially ruined, and that therefore, no
matter how much Venezuela may desire
% satisfy immeue. J. the Gains against
her, it is obviously impossible. Hence
an agreement upon the subject must pro-
vide for deferred payments The seizure
of the custom houses thereby depriving
the government of its means to admins
ter to its country would add to internal
distress and disorder.
While President Castro's proposals are
not disclosed, there is reason to believe
they include the emission of bonds at a
moderately high rate of interest with
some sort of a guarantee that If the In
terest or the installments of the principal
are defaulted certain Venezuelan custom
houses may be taken over by Germany.
Nothing is known here of the plans Of
Isaac N. Seligman of New York for float
ing a Venezuelan loan. He has not APP
preached this government IN the matter.
There Is no disposition here to proceed

MAJOR GLENN TO
Be TRIED AGAIN
WILL STAND SECOND TRIAL ON
CHARGE OF CRUELTY COMMIT
TED DURING SUMMER CAM
PAIGN TO NATIVE GUIDES.

Manila, December 2.-Orders have been
received from Washington directing that
Major Glenn of the Fifth infantry shall
be put on trial second time for alleged
cruelty committed during the summer
campaign. Major Glenn is charged with
having ordered the execution of several
native guides for misleading the Amer
lean column sent against the enemy's
stronghold.
Major Glenn himself report ed the Incl
dent which has been the subject of an
extensive inquiry for several months
past. Major-General Chaffee ordered two
investigations to be made by Inspectors
General Colmoore and Major Watts, who
made inquiries. General Chaffee for
warded their reports to Secretary Root
before he relinquished his command, and
without making any Recommendation.
Secretary Root now orders General
Davis to formulate charges against
Major Glenn and convene a court mar
tial.
Major Glenn Is now commanding post
at Payambang, district of Pangasinan,
Luzon. and he was today ordered to
hold himself in readiness to appear here
for trial. 1t is said that the trial will
reopen the entire question of the Samar
campaign and consume some time. 1t Is
expected Major Glenn will inform the
court that he desires Major General
Chaffee and Brig.-Gen. Jacob Smith to
be called as witnesses, but it is possible
their dispositions will be taken instead.
Major Glenn was tried by courtmar-
tial at Manila last May for administer
ing the water cure to natives during
the Samar campaign, and was found
guilty and sentenced to one months sus-
pension from duty and a fine of $500.
President Roosevelt approved the find
