HORSE LAUGHS WHEN FREE.
Stands All Night in Barb Wire Trap
Until He Is Released.

Denver. Col. Dee ST have a horse
up on my ranch that knows more than
some people, said Olney Newell.
Two. weeks ago he got caught in az a
that it required a week to get the wound
healed.
Friday evening I came home from Ly-
ons and saw the colt standing out in the
pasture near a haystack. 1 observed that
he was standing perfectly still.
Saturday morning / was walking
around the ranch and happened to get on
the side of the haystack where had seen
the colt, and here he was in identtcally
the same position as She evening before.
when reached him saw that he had
stepped over one wire, but not another,
so that two barb wires lay between his
front legs. For him to have moved would
have mean that he would have Eashed
himself frightfully-
II got rock and knocked the staples
out of the posts fastening the wires, and
as 1 was working the colt remained mo-
tionless. AS soon as the wires dropped
he drew carefully away, lifting his feet
high AS soon as he knew he was clear
of the wires he gave real horse laugh
and ran around the pasture kicking up his
heels and having bully time"

work of wrecking them. On most of
them, however, the first operations of
removal have been started. The
structure on which the greatest prog
ress in razing has been made is the
scenic railway. This is the largest
single building on the Pike, and it will
have been cleared away in fifteen
days.
In the exhibit palaces great progress
has been made in the removal of eX-
hibits, practically all of the domestic
exhibitors having removed their dis
plays. All of the foreign spaces have
been cleared of exhibits except those
of Japan, Germany, Holland, Italy and
Bulgaria.
The Liberal Arts building shows less
progress. None of the Chinese ex-
hibit has been removed. France,
Great britain, Italy and Germany are
in the Ihroes of dismantling and pack
ing up exhibits for shipment. but
large amount of work remains to be
done before the building may be said
to be even partly cleared.

the large city upon a dog is the latest
this CITY. has sent his canine pet to
the country to cure him of bad habits.
Mr.. Cavanaugh, who is observer at the
government weather bureau here,
claims to have tempted his dog one
evening before company with a drink
of beer The dog Tapped the neck of
the bottle with appreciation, and soon
discovered that by tipping the bottle
he could get more of the liquid.
So well did the dog take to the
beer, says the weatherman, that he
would go foraging through alleys for
beer bottles to drain them. He be-
came an habituaT drunkard, staggering
and carrying on as well may be
imagined of an animal under the in
fuence of intoxicants. Mr.. Cavanaugh
has given his dog to a farmer to eff

LED ON WILD GOOSE CHASE.
Revenue Officer Follows Crazy Negro
Guide for Miles Seeking "a Still.

Macon, Ga, Dec. 2S.-Of oil the advep-
lures which come the way of Macon S
revenue officers the most ridiculous has
Just happened here. 1t was a goose chase
after moOnshiner's still, and a black
goose led the chase
An old negro made his bow at the door
OF Marshal George Whites office in the
federal building with the remark: Use a
'tective, boss"
The old negro was closely questioned as
to the exact location of the still. He said
1t was ten miles from Minedgevil1e, To-
Gated in cave on the bank of a river q
lew hundred feet behind certain country
residence. His description of the cave, or
deep dugout on the bank of the river,
was full of details and accorded well
enough with such stills known to the Of
ficers
The seeming truthfulness of the old ne
gro caught the attention of the revenue
ofrlcers. He gave a vivid description of
whisky barrels lined against the walls
OF the cave and all the paraphernalia
usually connected with a moonshiners
still Finally revenue officer was in
structed to make raid on the still.
Accompanied by the old negro the Off
his guide TO the country home described
and to the rear with his gun ready for
business.
The several hundred feet set by the old
negro as the distance to the cave, length
ened into several hundred yards. The
several hundred feet became a. mile-then
more than a mile-and still there was no
river. much less a still in a cave on the
bank of a river
1t was discovered that the old negro
been released from the insane asylum at
Milledgeville Just before he appeared in
Macon with such useful information for
the revenue officers.

something Doing in MedlatIon.

Berlin, Dec. 28.-It is believed here
that the latest rumor regarding the
willingness of Emperor Nicholas to lis
ten to mediation proposals rests upon
a fresh inquiry of France as to what
terms he is willing to accept in the case
of mediation. Official circles in Ber-
lin entertain the possibility that some
thing in this direction has been going
on since it has been known that France
and Great Britain were anxious to ter
inmate the war.
