Stolen Horses Recovered.

Mr.. G. +. Funkhouser. of White
Post, came to Berryville yester-
day and recovered a horse which
was stolen from him last October
by Albert Page, colored, and one
stolen from Supervisor j. :. Gar
yer by Page last June. Mr.. Funk
houser's horse had been sold by
Page to Howard Locke, a young
man living near town, and the one
stolen from Mr.. Carver had been
sold to Mr.. Thomas Mcdonald. 1t
will be recalled that Page was
arrested here ten days ago by
Deputy-Sheriff Lupton on a charge
Of stealing a horse from Mr..
Shull, of West Virginia. and was
turned over TO the Jefferson cOun-
ty authorities. One point of the
stealing in Clarke county was the
bOldness with which Page oper-
ated. As told above, he took Mr..
Garver's horse in June. In Octo-
ber he returned and took Mr..
Funkhouser's horse from the same
field. 1t Is probable that the JEFF
ferson county authorities will bc
asked TO turn Page over TO the
Clarke county authorities a soon
as they are through with him. and
he will certainly secure a long
term in the penitentiary.

A PhiIosopher as Fisherman.

Herbert Spencer once won curious
wager. He was staying for a fishing
holiday in the house of Sir Francis
Powell, the president of the Scottish
academy. and while angling for trout
he happened to drop his eyeglasses Into
deep pool of the river. In the even
ing he related his misadventure to his
host and the guests, and said that he
was prepared to bet that he would re-
cover the pince-nez from the bottom of
the pool. His friends declared that
this was an impossible feat, but Her
bert Spencer still offered to make the
bet His challenge was accepted by
one of the visitors. Upon the following
evening Spencer returned to the house
with the missing eyeglasses. He had
fastened a strong magnet on the end
Of his fishing line and fished for the
glasses until it came into contact with
their steel rims.

The Ensii.hwoman's L.teAkex.

Talking about the British aristocra-
sy, woman who has met 1t on Its na-
tive heath tells me that the feminine
section of ii never stirs out without Il
latchkcy. We carry latchkeys over
here but we don't do II in the British
way. The American woman ties her
key in the corner of her handkerchief
or hides 1t under the mat or puts 1t in
to her purse along with cold cream rec
ipes and car tickets and samples. The
Englishwoman parades hers. The wo-
man who knows her tells me that she
has seen latchkeyS set with precious
stones and fastened to long chains
She has seen them gilded and strung
from belts; she has seen them with
pins on the back of them, worn as
brooches. She tells me that the Eng
lishwoman would no sooner leave her
latchkey at home than her husband
would his bath. The thing is possibly
new to the Englishwoman and, being
new, is paraded. With us over here
it is an old story. Possessing the re-
ality, the symbol is of small moment
to us. We are content to leave the
latchkey under the mat.-Washington

Wanted None of HIS Art.

Watts-Dunton said: 1T isn't general
ly known that Turner, the painter, and
DR. Augustus Pritchard once lived to-
gether for year in Cheyne row. The
painter and the physician had fine
garden, and they took a good deal Of
pride in their flowers. But the garden
gate did not work well, and one day
Turner, because 1t wouldn't open, pet
tishly gave orders that it be nailed up.
1t was thought that this odd act would
enrage Augustus Pritchard, but, on be-
ing told of it, all he said was, oh, well.
| don't care what Turner does to the
gate, so long as he doesn't paint it.

Snnh1h!!ns . Naturalist.

We have been hearing of boy who
thought he would like to be natural
ist if he received satisfactory encour-
agement from his parents. A micro
scope had been given to him on his
tenth birthday, and forsaking all other
interests, he devoted himself to the
study Of nature with such ardor that
when dinner was announced on the
first day he was much excited over
the newly acquired knowledge, and
sought to give it out for the enter
tainment of the people at the table.
Guests were present, and turning TO
the lady nearest to him, with smile
ing fsce he inquired:
"Did you ever look at cheese
through microscopic"
II do not remember to have done
So" she pleasantly replied, withdraw
ing from her lips the bit she was about
to eat.
"Well, you just ought to see the
things crawl on it,
"John," exclaimed his father, 'eat
your dinner!'
The lady quietly tucked the piece
OF cheese under the side of her plate,
and John perceived that his informa-
tion on the subject was not wanted.
When strawberries were placed up
on the table John burst forth again.
"You ought 60 look at strawberry
through q MICROSCOPIC They look
just like warts, and you think you can
see beasts running
John said his mother.
"Well, they look worse than fies'
heads protested the eager naturalist,
"for flies"-
boy" said the father, ''leave the

John went out, wondering why his
father wouldn't allow him to "talk
sense" when he really had something
to say.
