cRoMWELL'S HORSES.
An Accident That 5sfell the Protector
In Hyde Park.

An Accident That Befell the Protector
In Hyde Park.
"As Cromwell rose in power and rank
his love of horses began to be more
conspicuous" says a writer in Black
woods. when he started from Lon
don in 1649 to reconquer Ireland he
went forth in that state and equipage
as the like hath hardly been seen, him
self in a coach with six gallant Flan-
ders mares, reddish gray" In 1866.
when the Spanish ambassador took his
leave of the lord protector Cromwell
sent him "his own coach of six white
horses" to convey him to and from
Whitehall. Certain it is" adds the
narrator, that none Of the English
kings had ever any such"
The protector was not much Of a
whip, however. In 1864 the Count Of
Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present Of
six horses, and the protectors anxiety
to make trial Of their quality led to his
we'll known adventure in Hyde park.
On Friday, Sept. 20, he went with Sec
retary Thurloe and some of his gentle
men to take air in the park. ordered
the six horses to be harnessed to his
coach, put Thurloe inside Of it and un-
dertook to drive himself "Hls high
ness" said a letter from the Dutch
ambassador, drove pretty handsomely
for some time. but at last. provoking
those horses too much with the whip,
they grew unruly, whereby his high
ness was flung out Of the coach box
upon the ground. His foot getting
hold in the tackling, he was carried
away a good while in that posture, but
at last he got his foot clear and so
came to escape. He was presently
brought home and let blood and after
some rest taken is now we'll again. The
secretary, being hurt ON his ankle with
leaping out of the coach, hath been
forced to keep his chamber hitherto
and been unfit for any business"
The royalist Scroggs. afterward chief
justice. writing Of this incident. hoped
that the next fall would be from a cart
limiting at the gallows. AS to Crom-
wells views on the burning question
of horse racing it is difficult to arrive
at a positive conclusion. His constant
aim was to possess as many good
horses as he could afford. Whether he
entered his horses for races or had
the satisfaction of owning a winner
history does not say.

n perfectly fair and honorable game.
and at first he made it a rule never to
play for more than a fixed sum, which
he could afford to lose. He won so
steadily that It wasn't long before he
was prepared to risk any sum which
even the wealthiest or the most reck-
less Of his adversaries would venture
to propose.
A story which illustrates capitally
ScOtt's patience in the face Of hard
luck has been preserved. One night
while he was at the card table news
was brought to him that his wife, the
first Mrs. Scott, had given birth to
girl
"Ah," he said. II shall have to dou-
bic my stakes to make a fortune for
this young lady"
But in few hours he was $4,000 to
the bad. Retaining his invariable Sc
renity, he said he was sure Of his luck
returning, and at Z a m. he went home
the winner Of f15.O00. That's the sort
of play that went on at Whites night
after night during the years that John
Scott was winning the largest fortune
ever accumulated by gentleman gam

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The only thing some people always
have ready is an excuse.
Almost any one can be induced to lie
if you ask enough questions.
The better you behave the better you
get along. It's old, but it's true.
A man nobody can quarrel with has
the life problem reasonably well solved.
Lack OF opportunity has to stand as
an excuse for lot Of general shiftless-
ness.
The trouble with some people lies In
the fact that they consider their faults
their mlsfortunes.
Are you among those who treat their
new acQuaintances better than they
treat their old friends?

Letter from Ndshipmal COchrane Who Is on the Vermont
Giving an Account Of tho Awful Explo-

The following letter was received
by w. F. Cochrane from his sno, Mid

stationed at the u. 3s s. Navy X ard,
Boston Mass, and on the battleship
Vermont, and gives an account Of
the explosion on board the, battle
ship Georgia @
as United States Ship Vermont. MY
dear mother and father: will write
You a few lines this afternoon.
presume that you have read Of the
accident on the Georgia. We knew
It in twenty minutes after it happen
ed. The accident happened while at
gun practice on the range id Cape
God bay, about sixty miles out. We
received the message by wireless. 1t
is awful could not believe it and
refused to believe that Go1dthwaite
and Cruise we're in it; as ] knew that
they were in the engineers division
and would not probably be in tur-
ret, but they were.
No one knows how It happened
It was not a flare back as aboard
the Missouri q couple Of years ago.
and the only theory is that a spark
came in the open hatch in the top
of the turret from the smoke stack;
we have smoke gratings on the Yer
mont, but they had none; as we are
the first to have such and received
ours just few days ago. 5
Go1dthwaite died on the way up
