Intent upon love,
Laid a nice little plot
To meet at g spot


Laid nice little plot
To meet at spot
Near a juniper tree
In a neighboring grove;
For the plan was all laid
BY the youth and the maid,
Whose hearts it would seem
Were uncommonly bold ones
To run off
And get married
In spite of the old ones.
With this object in view
the young couple got team,
and leaving Richmond in the
evening drove to Antelope, a
distance of 70 miles, in the night
Taking the train at Shaniko in the
morning, they went to The Dalles,
but as the bride to be was but 16,
marriage license could not be
procured without the consent Of
her parents, and the young
couple were obliged to 90 into
another state. Arriving at Golden
dale, they were married and re-
turned to Richmond last Monday
and took up their abode on Mr..
Snable's homestead. Here they
were visited by the angry father
who informed the groom that he
was going to prosecute him for alb
luction and perjury and finding
hat he had gone to the county
'eat to consult the Prosecuting
Attorney, the young folks again
ook their departure and their
whereabouts is matter of spec
llation.

HORSE SENSE.
Animals Are More Intelligent than
Is Commonly Supposed.

other man. may be said to cater to the
thirst of Heppner, is quite a horse
trainer IN his way, and like all Others
who understand horse nature the best
seldom finds occasion to use the whiI
or even the reins. In his daily rounds
with the ice wagon the animal knows
the route as we'll as his master ard
makes all the stops without word OF
direction, and he never requires hitch
ing He seems to realize that he has
duties to perform and executes them
with unfalling dignity and dispatch.
This quality is not at all unusual in a
delivery horse, but any man who is OBJ
servant, who does not require all ideas
which may come to him to be expressed
in the words of his mother tongue before
he can imbibe them, can get the most
out of horse or any other animal.
Anyone who has seen a good horse
show, such as occasionally travels
through the country, will readily agree
shat a horse possesses both memory
and reason and knows or can
be taught the meaning OF many
words besides whoa" and "get-up."
Your genuine horse-lover is panied
every time he sees horse intelligence
abused, as is SO often done when some
drunken Indian or thoughtless "bucca-
roo" qoads nobler animal than him
self to chuck" for the sport of an equally
thoughtless crowd.
An article in one of Golfers during
the present month will doubtless open
the eyes of many Indifferent people
to the extent of intelligence which
q horse may possess. The article fol-
lows:
Greatest Horse Intellect.
In Golfers for September 10 is
the first announcement in this
country Of the most remarkable
horse that has become the scien-
tifc sensation Of Europe. The
writer says:
"Hans was, indeed no more than
a remarkably intelligent trained
horse, until he began to improve
upon the simple teats in which he '
was drilled,an display ed initiative 9
which could be explained only on c
the ground of reasoning and COM
putation. t
"Berlin scientific circles began t
to investigate Hans, and in few {
weeks he was the sensation of the
hour. He showed ability to per- c
form simple sums in arithmetic, b
expressing the answers by stamp a
ing a hoof on the ground. Before
a committee of indisputsble We O
racity, he counted up to 100, de- I
veloped an eye for colors by watch fl
ing them without mistake, and
proved that he bad an ear for mu-
sic by showing signs of angry dis :.
over discords.
"The committee found that Hans
could spell words Of one syllable,
and that he added to his vocabu- ~
larry with as much speed as that
shown by an average child in the =.
primary grades. In brief, Hans
used his mind and his memory to
learn his lessons. and then put
