HORSE THAT COULD REASON.
Physician Tells Of Animals Conduct
on a Stormy Night.

The best story told in an evening Of
amusing talk at the Winship club
meeting this week was that Of DR..
Paul about his partner in business for
q score of years or more. his horse.
When the doctor and he were 20 years
younger in practice DR.. Paul received
a hurry" night call from one of the
best families In his circle. They lived
a mile or more away in a rural neigh
borhood and although 1t was late at
night and storming the doctor rushed
out there at full speed.
On arriving in the yard at the house
ne threw the blanket hastily upon or,
rather. at the horse (who never re.
quired hitching), for it was found at.
terward lying on the ground at his
side, and dashed into the house with
his case of instruments. 1t turned
out that the aged grandmother Of the
family had had fall. that her should
err was dislocated, that ether had to be
administered the pain was so great
in short, the doctor could not take his
hand of his work for three hours.
All this time a driving sleet storm,
the moisture freezing as ii fell and
giving everything a coat OF ice, was
beating upon his partner out in the
yard.
When the doctor finally emerged in
the small hours was TO find the horse
where he had left him, except that the
rig was headed round for home. A
daylight examination revealed the
truth through the marks of the hoofs
and wheels of the buggy that during
his long wait Of three hours in a pelt.
ing and freezing storm, the horse had
a score of times made up his mind TO
go home and had gone down the road
sometimes a quarter, sometimes half
Of the way, and then had thought this
hard on the doctor and had turned
back to wait as in duty bound.
If this is not a demonstration not
only of reasoning power but also Of
moral consciousness, what Is il? II
Is needless to say that the doctor re.
spects his subhuman partner and
would no more think Of parting with
him till death doth them part than
he would with any member OF his fam.
lily. His back is bowed with the weight
of q years; he is no longer the hand.
som trotter he once was, but he is
the doctors "fidus Achates," just the
same, and he will not be supplanJed.
in spite Of the public's smiles.-BostOJ

Hated to Part With ii.

When Julius farmer, who plead
guilty to selling booze, went in
to District Clerk Kellam's office
Saturday to pay up. he pulled a
crisp new 500 bill from his
pocket. He smoothed it out
gently, locked at it, picked it up
and wiped his eyes with it, and
passed it over, saying he did not
like to part with such pretty
peace of paper. but guessed the
other fellows did not want him to
have it any longer.

For the jamestown Train.

Tom McNeal. the humorous
editor of the Farmers Mail &
Breeze, and also our state printer,
has agreed to accompany the train
and make speeches where they are
required. This of itselfs is a
mighty good drawing card, as
Tom has a reputation as a speaker
that is not easy to beat. The ex-
position people are also whooping
things up for the..reception of the
train, and when it gets to its des-
tination everybody will know it.
Mr.. Dixon has received the
following letter from Mr.. Coburn,
secretary of Agriculture, which
shows that he thinks the scheme
is all right.

The Craze for Wealth.

No, no, the way to discourage the
craze for wealth is not to glorify the
poverty which means grinding labor,
monotony, constant care and priva.

competence is sufficient for happiness.
