A GREAT SECRET.

In small town in the Midlands
there is rich congregation which is
not characterized by lavish liberality.
Time after time the minister had
yainly appealed to his people to con-
tribute more generously to the funds
of the church. The members would.

nearly always the smallest silver coin
of the realm that was placed on the
plate.

When you get out where man

OLD AcoUA1NTANcEs

Among the visitors in New York
from the South, during the centen.
NAL celebration, was gentleman on
the staff of the Governor of Virginia.
He had written to a friend to en-
gage a horse for him to ride during
his stay in New York. A white horse,
proud-stepping and slender-limbed,
was selected, and on the morning APP
pointed was led, in company with a
coal-black steed, to the spot where the
Virginia gentleman and friend were
ready to mount, when, 10! the black
horse paved the ground. shook his
head. showed great uneasiness, ani
altogether behaved SO remarkably that
he attracted great attention.
s. s"As sure as / i've" said the rider
of the white steed to his companion,
you are mounted on Black Diamond,
my own old horse!" 80
''Nonsense!" said the other eques.
trian. s.You wouldn't know Black
Diamond now, and he wouldn't know
you"
BY this time little throng of spec:
tators had gathered. interested in the
scene. Black Diamonds saddle was
taken off, and under it was discovered
an old scar and a little tuft of white
hair, which proved. his identity be-
yond doubt. When his old master
mounted him, the horse fairly quiv.
cred with delight, and gave a cry of
gladness. All through the centennial
week there were two happy beings
together, man and a horse; and q
horse sometimes shows intelligence SO
nearly human that one cannot but be
glad when a great pleasure falls into
the life Of this faithful friend of man.

HOW THE STORMY PETREL FLIES
A naturalist visiting Algeria bought
from a sailor four captive stormy
Anetrels. They weighed about 1.65
pounds apiece, their wings were five
inches wide and had spread Of four

breast the most furious storms has
been universally admired. Its name
is derived from It's power of walking
son the waves, like the Apostle Peter,
and its COURAGE and strength in plant
sins its footsteps on the crests of the
most tempestuous sea have given a
text to many writer's. The naturalist,
wishing to release his captive petrels,
threw one o: them into the air. It
tried to fly. hut fell headlong, went

second petrol to an upper story and
launched it from a window. but, hav.

a stone. The third bird he took to
the top of an observatory. and pushed
Ut out into space. 1t flapped its wings
desperately but. nevertheless, lungel
downward and broke Its wings against
a pest
The naturalist was now cinvinced
that the stormy petrel's feats at sea
are made possible because 1t first
gets up momentum by running along
the top of the water. Wishing to
give the remaining bird a chance to
demonstrate his theory. he took 1t out

ASHLAND TO HAVE
SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Streets to Be Lighted by Gas and
Town to Have Ample Water
Supply.
Especial TO The Times-pispateh.,

ASHLAND. VA. January s.-Opera-
lions were commenced here to-day by
the Ashland Gas, Sewer and Water
Company on their extensive work OF
sewerage, gas and water for the town.
The heavy drilling machinery OF the
arteslan well contractor was unloaded
and hauled during the day 10 the prop
erty of the company and placed in posi-
ton. The drilling machinery for this
contract Is the heaviest in use, and the
contract calls for ten-inch wells, 10 II
depth OF 400 feet, which viii supply an
unlimited amount OF the purest water
to be obtained in this section OF the
State. One hundred-feet steel tower
tanks will be constructed upon the prop
erty Of the company, md the water
will be pumped fresh daily aud stored
In an S0,000-gallon tank. This will give
the own ample fire protection and thus
reduce the fire insurance rates about
33 1-3 per cent. The wells. power-house
and gas plant Will be located in the rear
of the lots fronting on Railroad Avenue,
formerly owned by the Myers estate. An
effort Is being made to induce the COM
pan to spend a few thousand dollars ad
ditional to Increase their steam plant
sufficiently to enable them to supply many
of the dwellings with steam heat, as Is
now being done in many places. Tho
great drawback to Ashland heretofore
has been her poor water supply, lack of
sanitary sewerage and dark streets.
These disadvantages will, however, soon
disappear, and within the next few
months. almost with the advent of the
new electric line, the antique smoky,
oily street lamps will be replaced with
modern street lamps OF the highest eff
cheney.
One of the most substantial and extern
sive improvements in the town was pro-
vided for to-day when the large property
known as the McMurdo property was
transferred to n syndicate which will
