PRIDE HAD A FALL.-She was nicely
attired, had a train which swept1he ice
covered path as she glided along to the
p~ostofice on Monday morning. She
must have been conscious that she at
tracted attention, for her nose was tilted,
and her fare hat gave her face a halo
like appearance. But she could not
have been conscious Of the condition OF
the path, for her attitude towards the
world at large changed suddenly. There
was a small shrek, supplemented by a
vision of white skirts, black silk stock
ings and high-heeled shoes, and the
young lady sat down fat on the ice near
the Pleasant Valley p~ostofice gate.
When she fell, she looked all round to
see if any one saw her fall. When she
was helped to her feet, a more disguised
female could hardly be pictured. She
looked as a peafowl does after he has
had a foot-race with a bulldog. With
her fare bat awry and her dress COW
cred with fine ice she took the path for
home. y. M. +.

Beaten by Union Men.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Union men at
tackled Harry Punch and c. West, the
crew of a Wentworth avenue trolley car,
at Fortieth street last evening, beat
them almost into insensibility and fled,
The assault was aided by a city fireman,
who, on a p%retext, gained possession OF
the revolver with which Punch was
about to defend himself and thus left the
unfortunate motorman at the mercy OF
the sluggers. They fell upon him with
fists and clubs and beat him unmerci-
fully, inhicting wounds which will con-
fine him to his bed for weeks. The CON-
ductor, West was almost as badly hurt,
his head being beaten into a bloody mass
and his nose broken. This is the sec
ond time Punch has been beaten by
union men. Punch knocked two OF
his assailants down with an iron fender
min before he was overcome.

GHOSTS EXCITE NEGROES. The
negroes of Richmond were wildly excited
last night because of alleged remarkable
manifestations on the window of the
house 1928 St. John street. Some time
ago a colored girl nvmed Bessie jenkins
died. Soon afterward she appeared in a
vision to an old woman named Wilson who
lived nearby, and told the Wilson woman
there would shortly be strange happen
ings." Then the old woman died. The
house of Sarah Corbin, an aged negress,
is situated between the houses of the two dead
women. Yesterday afternoon Sarah was in
her kitchen, when she glanced through the
door, and she says she saw plainly depicted
on the rear window the features of the two
dead women and also of a strange man, wear
ing a white sash of some kind. Her screams
aroused the neighbOrhOOd, and those who ran
to her aid swear that they saw the pictures
she described. Since that time the negroes
have been flOcking 10 the place and last night
st. John street was a mass Of frightened,
excited negroes, gazing at the window upon
which there are unmistakable marks Of some
kind. In some quarters of the colored ward
there is a condition bordering on panic. The
negroes think the man whose face is seen on
the pane is responsible for the death of the
two women.

CARE OF THE FARM HORSE.

=
No man with horse sense will ever
kick horse.
In nearly all cases district that Is
noted for its good horses is noted for
its prosperity.
High calks on horses shoes have q
tendency to cause contracted heels and
quarter cracks.
Worms in horses not only irritate tho
intestines, but rob the animals of the
nutriment in the food.
No branch of the live stock business
pays better when properly handled
than does horse raising.
The most desirable horses are not
always the handsomest; while beauty
Is desirable it is not absolutely essen
tial.
The man who has flrst-class horses
on his farm las something that he
can turn into cash at any time he de-
sires.
If the mare has become heated. draw
some of her milk by hand, and do not
let the colt nurse until she has become
cooled. 1t is best to avoid heating her
for there is always danger in it. Light
work will not injure her nor the colt,
but judgment must be used-Midland

Horses as Flat Dwellsrs.

Flat life for horses Is not so very
new in New York. Ground space IL SO
valuable in that city that, like many
other buildings, stables have for some
time been built upward in many sto-
ries, with stalls for the llorsesSson
floors above. the ground. There#iare
now thousands of horses in Gotham
that can be said to 'livein flats. Stables
of six stories are not consideredre-
markable. In many of these fats
horses are stalled on three floors.
Each of these stables has an elevator
big and strong enough to carry
to the upper floors any vehicle.
The equines are hoisted to their sleep
ing apartments by these same elvators.
The horses like it. They stand steady
on the platforms and never cause any
trouble. sFr=THa-'eE' s'fa-r"-47sr+':'e-a-se
