PURE HORSE SENSE.
Animal Runs Away and Then Sum
mons the Doctor.

III Atuiio away tiNl lItCh III
mons the Doctor.
The existence Of what is termed
pure horse sense was demonstrated
recently in Washington, ID. c., by the
horse owned by j. II. Wudeman. The
animal became unmanageable while
being driven and ran away, throwing
the owner to the ground, where he
landed in an unconscious condition.
Then the horse walked up to the
rang the electric push button bell un-
til the doctor came out and went to
the aid of the injured man.
While the doctor was making a
preliminary examination OF Mr..
Wurdeman, the horse stood quietly
and even after the driver had been
taken into the doctors Office to have
a laccration Of the forehead scwed
up, the horse remained waiting.
81 thought at first the horse was
coming in to superintend the opera
ton" DR.. Woodward says. at was
the most remarkable thing ! ever
heard of, and had | not personally
witnessed the whole affair. / say
frankly | would not have believed it.
Dr.. Woodward and a maid were
brought to the door by the persis-
tent ringing OF the bell. Opening
the glass doors they saw the horse
standing on the porch rubbing its
nose vigorously on the niclc-platcd
sign. When the maid screamed, the
horse stuck his head in the v%estibule
as though looking for someone.

REGIMENT OF GIANTS
Famous Corps Of British Colonial on
Duty in jamaica.

The Royal West Indian regiment,
doing duty in jamaica, is a body of
giants. Not one man in the entire
corps is less than six feet In height
and most OF them are Il few inches
nor All are negroes and are the
flower Of the dusky population.
The regiment Is more than q fine
looking body Of men. 1t Is imposing.
Every member of it feels a pride in
every inch from heel to helmet. The
powerful men look like 1900 Guilt
verS as they nov about the streets
and look over the heads Of the small
cr whites and negroes of the island.
When the troops are on patrol
duty there is no danger OF an out
break. A raised hand from one Of
them had more influence OIL the mobs
hat crowd about those who give out
food to earthquake sufferers, than
the leveled rifles Of n dozen ordinary
men could have. The cas- is OBJ

Concern That Provides Bones For
Medical World,

The greatest skeleton producing
country In the world is France. Med
ical schools, hospitals, museums and
private individuals are supplied with

great French monopoly, which has
branches in London and New YORK

rich man., and is under the %suDervts-
ION OF the French Government. %
taxidermy and preparing the skele-
tons of animals and birds there is a
special department in the factory but
the business proper consists In pre-
pairing human skeletons. The busi-
ness is conducted very quietly in tho
heart Of Paris.
h bodies Of animals, paupers,
unknown persons killed in accidents
bodies sent by scientists, explorers
from strange countries, and those OF
persons who had, before death, sold
their remains, are worked up in the
great French factory. 1t is a grew
some place, this establishment where
bones are bleacned, wired and put
together. There are shelves and
shelves Of grlnning skulls, and draw
ers filled with loose limbs. When a
body is taken to the factory it takes
several months before it comes out Of
the first treatment and the chemicals
used are kept q trade secret.
After the bones are nicely bleach
ed, they PASS through a number of
other processes, the workmen in each
department bringing them nearer
completion. Finally, after the parts
have been wired and provided with
springs, they arrive in the joining
room, where they are put together to
form perfect skeletons. Then they
are either packed for shipment or
placed in .he company's show room.
The French factory is said to have
been in existence more than 1870
years, and all the workmen engaged
there must have served at least five
years in the d%issecting schools Of
Partisan hospitals.

Monday a negro plead guilty to house
breaking and larceny before Judge
Aldrich. The Judge gave him two
years. The same day a white mar

CHEROKEE HOMiCIDES.
The First Man Hung There Was Il
White Man.

The Gaffncy Ledger says: "about
forty homicides have occurred IN
Cherokee county since its organiza-
ton ten years ago, and it's a fact
worthy Of note that the first person
TO pay the death penalty was Il white
mar who was a native of the county.
This Is cot saying that others should
not have been convicted but it's a
healthy sign that the jurios OF the
county have arrived at the point
where they are showing a proper re-
gard for the rights OF It's citizens.
Surely this will be alcsson and will
check the flow OF blood in this coun-
ty''

BLIND TIGERS GALORE,
Said to be as Thick as Hops i'm Darl-

The Darlington News says: "In
n section of this county there are
SO many blind tigers that the bust
ness has become Improbable. There
are SO many selling whiskey that
there are no customers for any one,
every man has his own liquor but no
one to whom he can sell. Which is
the better way, therefore, to legalize
the sale or have the state OF affairs
which now exists? 1t is useless to
talk about enforcing the law because
that is not going to be done to any
great extent"

Mrs. Norton's son was only four

fruitless search for his mother came
