REJOICING AT ST. PETERSBURG.

that some of the naval experts actual

not an exaggeration in many cases.
And it is rendered possible by NUNS
Der of things for which the well-ur1-
derstood term graft" may stand as
representative.
A certain handsome pony was shown
to wealthy man, and he sent his
coachman to look at it. The price was
$3.50, and the bargain was closed at
that figure, the pony being sent to the
new stable, while the coachman
dropped around" for his commission.
He was offered $3.50, and threatened
to have the animal returned as insult
able unless he was given another $5O
to make 1t an even thousand.
A rather sensational pair of. high
steppers were sold in April, 1903. for
$500, or approximately that amount.
The coachman received $4,000, struck
for another thousand obtained that al
so. In August both went amiss, they
"shy," the man being ten years in his
were sore, coughing and began to
place and Of unimpeachable reputa-
ton. The owner told him to sell them
and get new pair. They were sold
to a third party, representing the
coachman, for $1,000, sent to his farm,
turned out, fed up, coats let grow, and
another pair were secured for $4,000,
on which the coachman secured ST.
100. The following spring Of 1904, one
of these was lame, and sold as incur
able for $500, and from the brother of
the third party mentioned above, the
original near-side horse was purchased
for $4,000, clipped, newly trimmed, IN
grand condition, was new white star
peeping from the base of his name.
Of this the coachman pocketed $4,000.
and the brother $500, besides the lame
horse as gift.
UP to five or six years ago this evil
did not exist to any extent. The
coachman always received his 10 per
cent and was satisfied. But the tre-
mendous demand for horses during the
prosperity boom sent prices way UP.
1t is difficult to suggest a remedy.
One very rich and exceedingly shrewd
financier tried bonding his coachman.
This was a pity, as it attracted bright
er brains to the problem, and the sue
ceeding coachman bled the financfer
indirectly for over $4,000 in three
years; and there was not the slightest
proof Of any money passing.
This Is only a mere outline Of the
situation, and the dealers are in des-
pair. It Is no fancy picture, no SEN
sational story, but plain statement
of the graft surrounding horse dealing

LIONS AT TIE DOOR.

News Is Mt hand from two indepcnd-
ent sources, says South Africa, Of an
extraordinary adventure that recently
befell Mr.. Dlckert, a farmer living
about fifteen miles from Mallndl Sid
ing. Mr.. Dickert went TO bed at ten
o'clock. and was Just going to sleep
when he heard what he thought was
n pig grunting and smiling outside the
door.
He got up and stepped outside to call
his dogs, when he was seized by n
lion. He shouted, and Mrs. Dlckert
ran out with rife, with which she
hit the animal on the head and caused
II 10 loose It's hold.
Mr.. Dlckert Immediately snatched Mt
the rifle ana fired polntblank Forum
ately, he killed the lion at the first
shot. The whole affair was over in n
few seconds, and occurred close to the
bedroom door, where the hungry ami
NAL had evidently been waiting. Mr..
Dickert was badly scratched, and his
arm was lnccratcd where the lion
seized him.
The people at Malndl Siding have
been annoyed by n lion that developed
the habit OF coming close TO the sta
ton, and was heard In the neighbor-
hood Of the railway mems house. A
short time ago the conductor OF the
Falls train and several OF the passen-
gers saw two young lions playing be-
tween the rails near the Gwaal
Farther mp the line, In the direction
Of the Iambezi. the lions appear TO be
much more numerous. Not long ago
the native commissioner at Matetsi is
reported TO have lost fifteen head of
live stock which had been killed In
broad daylight by nine lions which
were hunting together.
