HORSES LIVE IN FLATS.
Space So Valuable In New York That
Stables Of More Than One Story
Are Necessary.

Ground space Is SO valuable In New
York that, like many other buildings,
stables have long been built upwards In
many stories, with stalls for the horses
on floors above the ground; 30 that there
are now in the city Thousands OF horses
that may be said to live in fats. Stables
Of six stories are no longer considered
remarkable. and in many OF these horses
are now stalled ON three floors, these
upper stories being reached by runways.
says the Sun.
All of these tall. modern stables have
an elevator big enough and strong
enough to carry to the upper floor any
vehicle. and In at least one downtown
boarding place for horses the elevator
is used for the animals, also. Out OF $50
horses kept in this stable there are per-
haps score that are more or less often
hoisted to their rooms. or stalls, at night,
and they also bring down some horses
in the same way. The horses like 1t
and stand steady on the elevator plat
form and are hoisted without trouble.
In fact they have one fine horse that
viii not travel from the ground floor to
Its stall in any other way. When this
horse comes in and Is unlocked at night
1t walks straight over to the elevator and
waits to be hoisted up; and when 1t is
cast loose In it's stall in the morning, 1t
makes straight for the elevator again.

NORMANS' FEAR COMICAL
Natives Distrust Strangers Because Of
Fear Of Being Swindled or
Perhaps Robbed.

The greatest obstacle to agreeable
pedestrianism In Normandy is the pro-
verbal Norman distrust, says Book
lovers Magazine. The Norman's dis
trust q the stranger takes the form of
co1aical sort OF terror of being fam
cially duped-cheated or swindled, not
10 say robbed-probably because he is
himself perpetually engaged in finan-
cial dipping. II the tramper does not
succeed In disarming, by one means or
another. Norman distrust, Ais tramp
ing life In Normandy will be made a
burden to him. Norman distrust can
be disarmed, but 1t cannot be disarmed
In an instant, pAmericaine. 1t takes
time to do 1.-THE Norman Is the last
person in the world to stand and de-
hver-and there Is no social device to
be mentioned In the same breath with
drinking for courteously consuming
time. II the tramper asks simple
question at Z farmhouse, he cannot de-
Gently linger-not in Normandy-after
his question Is answered. If he makes
petty purchase in a store, his situa-
ton Is only trif1e less awkward since
he is morally obliged to retire as soon
as the transaction Is completed. On
the other hand he has only to order a
drink-in this country of cider and
applejack every store and nearly every
farmhouse sells liQuor-to be entitled
to sit at table for as long as he wills
It and to talk.

LANDsMAN DESCRIBES FISH
Landlubber's Description Of Skate
Proves Funny-Calls Mouth
Automatic Trap.

The barndoor skate beggars descrip-
ton. I never could tell whether he was
looking at me with his eyes or his
breathe-hoies. He Is bottom fish, and
dat like founder. He has triangular
body, the apex of which forms the snout;
opposite his snout are his tail and a
few extra pieces of his overcoat, which
kind nature tagged on to him in case he
gets torn and has to be mended. His tail
is smbellished with few spines-this
know for fact He has a couple Of eyes,
q little way back of his snout, and right
back Of these are a couple Of holes that
extend completely through him. These
holes connect with his lungs, or what
ever he uses to breathe with, and have
an uncomfortable way Of looking at you
at the same time as his eyes. He has a
mouth, too. but 1t Is on the under side OF
him, and convenient for business. 1t is
q funny thing, with spines on the lips,
and when you pull the lower jaw the up
per jaw moves with TIA sort Of auto
matte trap. not unlike what you see In
any ten-csnt restaurant This is land
lubber's description in Country Life, but
It 10 enough.

in states prison and each year on the
It'll of September will be spent in
solitary confinement. 1t was a sad
scene in the court room as the
sentence was pronounced, little ways
from him sat his aged mother, who
was completely heart broken over the
conduct and sentence of her son; but
the sympathy OF the entire community
reaches out to the wife that is left
destitute with young babe born
since the arrest OF Mr.. Cordell. It
seems like double punishment to
this man but he is doubtless deServ-
ing of all that he has received. Mr..
Cordell made plea personally before
the Judge for leniency and his lawyer
also did all in his power for his client,
but the Judge saw his duty and did
it. 1t is a sad case from beginning to
end and this will be practically the
closing chapter as far as the public is
concerned. It seems, however, hard
for the wife to be the greatest SUI
ferer. Mr.. Cordell made but few
friends in Grand Rapids and will
receive but little sympathy from the
people here.
