seldom balks. When going east, west
or south he may, on occasions, sud-
denly take root In the pavement, but
IL n%orthward bound there seems to
be an irresistible current that sweeps
him along, no matter how strong his
inclination to stop and ruminate.
Furthermore, according to my in
formant, a horse hitched singly Is
more apt to balk than when driven
with a mate, and also much harder
to reduce to an amiable frame OF
mind.
1T is strange, too, what a boundless
respect most horses have for certain
kinds of freight. Very seldom does
a horse hitched to a milk wagon stop
to think things over unless given per-
mission 10 loiter. Bakers carts are
likewise immune, and no self-respect-
ing horse ever thinks of going into u
tantrum when drawing a load Of flow
ers. The drivers of pickle wagon
also give a good account of their
teams, and nobody ever heard of a
candy wagon being held up by an un-
ruly horse. Up to last Sunday I had
supposed that hearses were equally
fortunate. but the escapade Of tie
gray horse smashed that illusion. -

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Continued Absence of Ramona Man
Causes Considerable Worry.

Word was received here yesterday
that c, X. Stimson, editor of the Ra-
mano Herald, has been gone from his
home since Sunday, September %,
and that nothing has been heard
from him. He left no word as to
where he was going and his friends
are becoming worried over his con-
tinued absence, The disappearance
is rather mysterious as he was at his
place of business Saturday, and did
not signify his intention of leaving
town. There seems to he no solution
for the problem at this time, as there
was no cause for him to run away,
and there is no cause to suspect foul
play, as Mr.. Stmson had no enemies
who would be suspected Of anything
of that kind.

WestvilIes to Meet Franklins on the
 Formers Grounds.
 The Westviles and Franklins cross bats on the Westville diamond this aft- ernoon.
 While the fight for the title of city champions has been waging between the other teams & the City league, the Franklins have been strengthening their club in preparation for battle royal with the team that could lay strongest claim to the title. Now that the St. Johns have been put down and out by both tlie Tigers and Westvilles, and while the latter have robbed the Tigers of all clsims, the Franklins are ready to do the trick on the Westville boys.
 For the Westvilles George Brastow will again twirl, and Lawson, who is really on the staff of the New Havens as a reserve player, will do the back stop work. shugrue and Fitzgerald are the crack battery for the Franklins and it is thought that they will officiate be- tween the points to-day, although no definite statement has yet been made. Play will begin at o'clock. The match will be the first of series of three games to be pulled off before the season closes
