SAVED HER COLT.
A Very Rare and Remarkable Case Of
Animal Saaacity.

The following extraordinary
story is reported from Waco:
One of the most remarkable In
stances of animal sagacity evei
coming to light in this section is
related by engineer James Parrot,
of No. 103 of the International &
Great Northern Railway, and Con-
ductor Frank King and several
passengers will -vouch for the
correctness of the story.
/ When the southbound passen-
ger trail on this road was near
Hallsburg, ten miles southeast, a
night or two ago, a mare su idenly
dashed up the track toward the
train, running swiftly. 1t looked
like she would run right into the
engine, and the air brakes were
applied, slowing the train down to
six or seven miles an hour. En-
gineer Parrot thought the mare
was blinded by the headlight, but
the train was no sooner slowed
down than the mare turned about
and went from the train, keeping
right down the tracks and making
it impossible to run fast least the
animal be struck.
The mare went straight to a
bridge over a creek, and when
within a short distance of the
bridge of the railway it was dis
covered that the colt of the mare
had fallen with all of its feet
through the bridge, placing it
where it would have been killed
had not the mare literally tagged
the train. The mare stopped and
began whinnying, and the train
stopped, also. Engineer Parrot,
the fireman and some of the pas
sengers got off, and, relieving the
colt, left the mare to trot off with
her young as proud as a peacock.
Those who witnessed the occur
renee say it was wonderful.

Whose Dog Was II?

A motorist who was touring
through the country saw walking
ahead of him man, followed by
a dog. As the machine drew near
the dog started suddenly to cross
the road. He was hit by the car
and killed Immediately. The mo-
torist stopped his machine and ap-
preached the owner. I'm sorry,
my man, that this has happened, :"
he said; will 10 shilliugs fix it?"
oh, yes. said the man, 10
shillings will fix it, I guess.
Pocketing the money as the car
disappeared in the distance, he
looked down at the dead animal.
I wonder whose dog it was2"
he said.

MONEY SENT BACK.
Contributions Didn't Reach Russian Jews
Payment Refused Because Aiding
Revolutionary Cause.

According to the statements oil
DR.. n. Monsenhon, a prominent
Jew of Portland, Ore, whose as
sertions are corroborated in meas
ure by the local postofice officials,
a large amount of money sent from
the United States to aid Jewish suf-
ferers in Russia has lever been re-
ceived by those for whom it was
intended 1t is stated that there
has been a general failure of the
postoffices throughout Russia to
cash postal money orders which
have been sent to Jews in that
country, and many of these money
orders have been returned to the
senders with a statement that they
could not be cashed. The letters
accompanying the returned orders
cite various reasons for their being
dishonored, one of which is that
orders have been issued from St.
Petersburg to refuse payment of
them because the money is for the
purpose of aiding the revolutionist
cause.
Postmaster Minton and Super
intendent Whiteside of the money
order department of the Portland
postofice bear DR.. Mosenhon' s
statement as to the fact that the
orders are being returned, and
state that they are receiving cCm-
plants continually and are unable
to answer the demands for the
reason why they can not be cashed.

Hard on the Newspaper Man.

A well known Southern politician
tells of South Carolina preacher
who. finding the weather too warm
for comfort, pulled off his coat and
preached in his shirt sleeves. After
the sermon one of the deacons of
the church, thinking that a news
paper man present might be dis
posed to make a sensational story
of the incident, said to the clergy
man:
Did you know when you pulled
off your coat that one of those
newspaper fellows was in meetin p

preacher. but I had my eye on

In Memory.

Acyclist, while wheeling through
some of the rural out of the ways
in Ireland, had cause to pull up at
a humble shanty one day to make
inquiries as 10 his whereabouts.
Entering the cabin, he was struck
with the poverty of the furniture
and surroundings, and curiously
so with what evidently answered
the purpose of side-board-a plank
supported at either end by bricks.
In the middle was half an old brick,
and on this rested a faded flower.
After making inquiries as to his
whereabouts, the stranger asked
what the brick might be.
"Shure, and the brick is it ye're
wantin to know about? Ye see
this scar at the back of my ear?
Shure, it was that brick that made
it.
And the hower?''

The Belle of the Jard:n Butler.
Paris is unusually gay in the early
fall, and her boulevards are thronged
with people, many of whom come from
various parts of the world to enjoy
the whirl of revelry experienced here
as in no other city on earth.
The gardens of the Closerie des
Lilas, known also as the Jardin Bull
lier, are profusely Illuminated, and as
night advances those who promenade
or dance increase in number 1t is
ore of the sights of Paris, not Who'll
ly fashionable or hardly a respecta-
able place, but thousands annually
visit it, for to do Paris and neglect
the Jardins Mabille or Butler would
be mistake, since their notoriety has
become worldwide.
About ten o'clock on the night in
Americans, saunter into the Jardin
Butler. Their dress and general APP
learance would attract attention al
most anywhere in Paris, for both
wear broad-brimmed, cream-colored
felt hats, and wear their hair long.
One is rather small in stature
when compared with his companion,
but as quick as the spring of tiger;
he has handsome face, with restless
hlue-gray eyes that have the faculty
Of seeming to look through one.
The second man is well proportions
cd, possesses the figure of an athlete,
and a face that is certainly a bold
type of manly beauty; those who
have associated with Dick Denver in
the past can bear witness that he is
a comrade worth having, as true as
steel and courageous as a lion, at the
same time diffident in the society of

zeal bellies of Paris show themselves
here we see no powdered faces, no
padded figures, such as one wearies OF
among the higher classes. Rosy
cheeks, painted by nature, reign in
stead And of all who dance, Col.
Fob, I am ready to swear perpetual
devotion to the belle of the evening.
See her willowy figure, note its sup
rle bending, pay attention to her
charming face-Zounds, man! Prof.
John is her slave already-he will
wade through seas of gore to win her,
and if there is another Richmond in
the field, by Jupiter Pluvius, Pll-Tll
throttle him!"
The excited and enamored little pro-
lessor has Just reached this climax
when he comes to sudden pause, for
he hears his companion utter an eX-
Ciamation that almost paralyZes him.
Death and furies! if it isn't my
nora!"
In an instant he has an aroused
specimen of British assurance clawing
at his arm, while the sharp, penetrat-
ing voice of the little man cries:
Your Dora! Who the deuce may
your Dora be? Not that charming girl
With the rosebud face, the eyes that
magnetize, the ruby lips that invite
kiss Don't tell me, Col. Bob, that
is your Dora, for by the gods, man,
I'll have to challenge you'll will, so
help me, Moses"
The Sheriff of Secora county
brushes him aside as he might a trou-
blesome fly; his eyes are on the fig
ure of the girl-his face has assumed

comes around again. Now | can see.
Yes, it's Dora, by all the powers! The
girl is surely crazy to come to this
place. She needs a protector" he
mutters, and the professor catches his
last words.
Eyes, yes, that's it, protector, and
I'm the man who stands ready to as
sumo that office. I'm not a hulking
giant, but in intellect | tower above

"Youl" sneers the colonel. ''Why,
Dora would call you only half man,
professor. Women go a good deal by
appearances. my dear fellow"
"Of course they do-Pm quite aware
of that, which accounts for her pref.
ence. You didn't see me dance with
the beauty-watch her look this way;

II will have on his companion, the
sheriff of Secora county, when he, too,

A minute later and the two friends

Consumption of Beer.

Aberdeen News.
Announcement was made at
the internal revenue Office this
morning that a carload of beer
was received in this city every
day throughout the year. A car
contains sixty barrels, each of
which contains thirty-two gal
Ions. This means that 1920
gallons are received in Aberdeen
daily. 1t is figured that a four
gallon keg holds 1O2 five cent
glasses. Figured on this basis
the daily consumption of beer
in the territory tributary to
Aberdeen amounts to So, ,445.
Three-fifths of this amount is
said to be consumed in Aberdeen
and the remainder is shipped to
outside towns, so that $1,467
is expended in Aberdeen every
day for beer or more than $500,
600 in the course of the year.
This estimate is, Of course,
figured on the basis of five cent
drinks. AS much of it is pur-
chased by the case or in large
quantities, the above estimate
is probably high, as a reduction
is made in those cases.
