To Tell Horses Character.

1t is easy to tell horses character
by his nose, according to an army
officer. If the profile has gentle
curve and at the same time the ears
are pointed and sensitive, the animal
may be depended on as being gentle
and at the same time high-spirited. On
the other hand. II the horse has a
dent in the middle OF his nose 1t Is
safe to set him down as treacherous
and vicious. A horse with slight
concayity in the profile will be easily
scared and needs coaxing, while one
that droops his ears Is apt to be-
both lazy and vicious.

John Collins left the house without

new clothes and the battered beaver,
which had reflected the sun of many
summers. The ceremony was set for
ten o'clock, and it was $3.50 when
they called him, but he had not re-
turned. They waited and worried un.
til it seemed as If they would be
obliged to telephone the police for
help, and the priest to postpone the
wedding, when in walked Collins.
He carried himself with savage dig

the very newest style.
The ceremony was over and the
bride, still dazed, with the hat gim
