Rowdy enjoys the distinction Of being

He was not bred In old Kentucky, nor
has he the Sunshine of old Bourbon in his
eye and stomach, too,'' but he has one Of
the oldest habits that an equine has ever
been known to have, and fire horses have
some very peculiar traits.
Rowdy is a physical culturist to the ex-
tent that he believes in drinking hot wa
ter; in fact, he Will not drink anything
else, and would stand for q day before a.
pail Of cold water, no matter how thirsty
he might be, without touching 1t.
Not only has he penchant for hot wa
ter, but whenever the opportunity offers
he goes to the nearest steam radiator in
the fire hall and stands with his nose over
It inhaling the warm air until The has

- Occasions have been known where he
would stand over a radiator until the steel
bit rings and bit in his mouth became SO
hot that a person could not bear to hold
them In his hand, yet this did not bother

foaled or from whom he was purchased,

Whether he read q, physical culture
magazine or, whether some Of his more
learned horse friends told him about the
hot water wrinkle, is not definitely known
by the firemen. A few years ago 1T was
noticed that he had a hankering for hot
water, avl the habit grew on him to such
an extent that the men cleaning the har-
ness with pals Of hot water found 1t
impracticable to leave the pail near
the big horse, or it was sure to disap-
pear. Finally he came out fat-footed and
refused to drink anything but hot water.

Aowdy is not too particular as to the
degree Of warmth Of the water offered
him, but the hotter he can drink it the
better he seems satisfied He can drink
water about as hot as a person can stand
to put his hand in. g. l..

STRANGE TROGLODYTE
Lived in the Woods and Ate Nuts and
Raw Flesh.
London Leader.

The discovery. Of a troglodyte (cave-.
dweller) in the Basque provinces,
near Fuenterrabia, Spain, on the
Franco-Spanish frontier has aroused
considerable curiosity in Madrid.
AS a customs guard with his dogs
was searching in a. wood an extraordi-
nary being IN the image of a man
was seen to rush before him with
wonderful rapidity and disappear into
a hole In a mountain. The guard fol-
lowed, and found the wild man had
blocked up the entrance to his cave
with pieces of timber and stones,
which, however, were easily. removed,
and the man was captured.
He was absolutely prehistoric in app
<pearance. His only garment was a
skin tied around the hips. His long
and matted beard fell over his chest
like a cloak, while his hair trailed
down his back in a thick mass.
In his cave were found numerous
bones of sheep, deer and other ami
mails, which he had eaten, a sling,
a club and stone ak. A bed of moss
was his only furniture.
The guard brought the troglodyte
to Fuenterrab ia, where his appearances
created a sensation. Before the mag
istrate he explained that his name
was Prudencio; he was Is years old,
and had been, when an infant, an in
mate of a founding hospital in San
Sebastian.
He had formerly acted as farm
hand, but two years ago, being unable
to find work and being in great dis
tress he took to the forest. There he
lived on acornsY hazelnuts and birds
eggs. Little by little he learned to
Use a sling and the ak, and was able
to Kill deer and sheep which had
strayed. AS he had no fire he ate the
! flesh of these animals raw.
