TO change It's opinion OF che. i1npcr-
s;.nce and usefulness of that work
but it also believes that the public
money expended for that purpose
should be administered as TO yield the
greatest possible return for the money.
IT'S attitude on that point is Identical
with its attitude on filtration. It sup
ports and urges the work. but it OPP
poses making the work cost more than
necessary. .
On this platform it tenders the fol-
lowing query: Why is it that the
county must pay an average OF Sl6-
600 per mile for. macadamized roads
when townships and borouGhs within
the county have constructed macad
arnized roads at a cost of $1,000 to
$4,000 per mile? The question is
given point by the fact that in certain
parts OF the county where the two
classes OF roads can be seen in close
vicinity the less expensive sort does
not show badly by comparison.
Possibly il this question were fully
threshed out it might include an ex-
hibit of the reasons why Pittsburg
must pay twice as much for filtration

When Cleopatra was a Queen
She dwelt in splendid pomp;
A giddier gal was never seem
She was the village romp.
She met Mars Anthony one day,
When he blew in from Rome,
And for her, historians say,
He left his. happy home.
He moved his Saratoga trunk
To Cleopatra fiat;
She called him -Anty' Cthis was bunk)
And he called her Cleo Pat

They carried on just frightful;
The climax, it may be inferred,
Was not at all delightful.
Mares neighbors back in dear old
Began to knock and knife,
Until the gossip reached his home
And exercised his wife.
Then Marc committed suicide.
\ reckless thing to do;
And Cleopatra up and cried,
And then re1narkeds "Fere too
She sent tc Keely's for a snake,
And let it Bite like fury;

Horse Tries fioId-up.

An unusual sight was witnessed on
last Tuesday morning at the corner Of
the old York road and GorSuch ave-
nue. A riderless horse belonging to
a member Of the mounted squad of
policemen made an effort to hold up
a four-horse wagon loaded with hay
while his master was attending to
some business in nearby. residence,
These horses are SO trained that they
can be left standing at any corner by
the rider in pursuit OF duty. and the
more faithful cannot be coaxed away
by anyone except the officer in charge.
While thus standing unattended the
animal in question saw load OF hay
coming south on the Old York road.
He waited his chance, and when the
horses were near him he walked out
in front of them, and out of respect, as
it We're, for his high rank the team
stopped The driver was somewhat as
torf.gt,ed by seeing the act Of the "po-
lice hod " and guided his team
around the Aotnaal This made the
police horse" ana 81 and he braced
himself and put histshaNiaer against
the load of hay, only to find That he
proposition was too great for him.
AS the load of hay passed by the
trained equine took two good bites,
and then marched back to his posi-
ton at the corner.
Forest and Stream tells an inter
esting story OF some horses that had
perverted appetites. One had fond
ness for fresh meat; another gobbled
up any old thing that came his way,
bean soup, potato parings, stale bread
or cooked meat; while the third. a
small sorrel mare, actually had devel-
oped the tobacco habit. The owner
obtained her in Texas, and he says
that the mare was one that had been
in the South during the
Civil War.
.She could carry me so miles day,
ne continues, then carry me back
next day If I wanted her to do it.
had her about two days when / found
out that she chewed tobacco. She
grabbed small package OF tine-cut
out of my hand, and then stood chew
ing it, paper and all. Seeing that it
had not hurt her, kept her in tobacco,
buying the leaf tobacco that all these
Mexican stores sold here then, Q large
hand OF it for e silver dime; that
would not have paid the duty on it had
any been paid, but the collector had
not got here yet. When he did come
these men had to stop selling it at
any price, Ipever went near my mare
without bringing her tobacco. If she
did not get it right away, she would
begin to shove me with her nose, and
keep it up until l gave her the usual
chew.
II rode a horse for four years, my
race horse Charley, which would eat
half a peck of peaches as fast as I
could remove the stones ont of them:
The same horse could eat pound of
sugar or candy without even stopping"
