Why the Horse Acted So.

while he was in the act of unhitching

playing signs of terror whenever his
master came near him. A passerby
came to his aid, and while quieting
the animal explained to the owner. Il

out of the Zoo, over there. A slight
scent of the wild animals has clung
to your clothing, and, although your

DIDN'T NEED THE MONEY.
Elderly Man Declined to Prevarica,e
for Fifty Cents.


The Hon. David Barker, poet ard
lawyer of Penobscot county, Me, uscC
to relate the following on himself:
There was an old man where he
commenced practice who never would
pay bills until forced to by law. One
day MIR. Barker received a bill against
the old man for collection, with orders
to sue at once, but instead of suing at
once he sent kindly letter, asking
the delinquent to call and settle and
save costs. The only result was -
old man took great pains to talk abd0
and ridicule the young lawyer at the
corner grocery and postoffice.
Finally suit was brought and judg-
ment rendered, with costs. One of
the cost items was fifty cents for the
letter. To this the old man objected
strenuously. Finally the lawyer said:
II you will take back what you said
about me at the store and postoffice,
and say you was mistaken and you
guess that young lawyer is a pretty
good fellow after all, will throw ont
that item"
To this the old man replied: 81 am
an old man; over 80 years old I've
done a great many mean things in NY
day. but l am too near eternity to tell
such gosh darned lie as that for fifty
cents"

CLOCK TAKES ONE DAY OFF.
It Will Not Run on the 18th Of the

Speaking of the many curious
things connected with the number 13
reminds me of clock which has been
in my family now for some time, said
an observant man, land the thing l
have in mind has gone far toward
making me believe that there is some
thing in the claim that 13 is an ua-
lucky number The clock in question
is of the cuckoo variety. Ordinarily
it is one of the most reliable time
pieces have ever seen. 1t keeps per-
feet time and never fails to cuckoo
promptly on the hour, except in the
case | have in mind
IF the thing had not happened in
such regular order l would have paid
no attention to it. But it has been
happening once every month regularly
from the very time we introduced the
aforesaid clock into the family circle.
And it always happens on the 18th of
the month. My clock lays off, if l
may say it, once every month. 1t re.
fuses to work on that day which is
associated with unlucky things. Some
how it seems to know that 13 is an
unlucky number. And it seems to
think it applies as much to dates as
to other events and things. l have
never been able to understand just
why the clock should stop on this day
and up to this good hour | am unable
to give anything like reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of it. only know my
cuckoo clock will not work on the
18th day of the month and no matter
how well it is wound. or what the
weather condition may be- when the
unlucky day rolls around the clock
simply stops. 1t is curious thing.
