which securities shall, be deposited in

ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of its
assets, at the end of the second year
of the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,95S,000 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to it's policyholders. in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 800 Of it's total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of it's
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed

The animal does not confine itself
to the calves for victims, but has mu-
tilated several large COWS so that they
have either died or been killed to res
lieve their sufferings, and it has also
caused the death of one horse. The
method of attack is somewhat Pc
culiar and has been the same in every
case. It first hamstrings it's victims
and chews their noses so that, being
unable to eat, they either die OF
starvation or have to be killed.
Several hunters have been out look
ing for the animal, which is supposed
to have it's den on Green mountain,
but they have not been able to get
within shooting distance, although
some claim to have seen it with a
field glass. Attempts have also been
made to kill it by placing poison on
the carcasses of cattle which it has
killed, but it seems smart enough to
select a fresh victim when hungry in
stead Of returning to an old one.
Those who have seen the animal say
that it is a large black wolf and can
run faster than a deer. There is talk
of getting a pack of hounds and or
ganizing a large hunting party to go
after it.

he got through with them, and I can
assure you it takes an awful lot to
make an old Tommy weep, but he did
it somehow.
''The next thing heard of him he
had married lot of money, and then
one day on my return to London I
went down to birmingham to watch
the pigeon shooting, and almost the
first man who stepped up to the traps
was my old friend Willoughby; he
was shooting under the pseudonym of
Mr.. Digby.
1--WE again lost sight of each other
after that, and the next time heard
of him he had volunteered for service
in South Africa during our last war
with the Beers. Months passed, and
I heard nothing Of him, and then one
day the next news came that he had
been killed in action, and that was
just the way he wanted to die.
In rambles through this world
have never met a better, kinder, truer
hearted man than poor old Digby. He
had more pluck than forty men rolled
into one; he was trife spectacular,
but that is an accusation we can bring
against many of our biggest men, but
he was true and loyal pal, and as
said before, if he had only been in the
regular service instead of being a SOL
der of fortune there is no knowing
what he might not have achieved.
Peace to his ashes"
As the old campaigner finished his
story, five glasses were raised in the
air and a silent toast was drunk to the
memory of Gen. Digby Willoughby.
Vale!

definition of all. The best, the truest.
But that afternoon, on the way

Also that the great Caliph Haroun-
el-Raschid in the eighth century in
marching toward the forces of Queen
Irene of Constantinople constantly
had number of trained Arabian
horses (direct descendants of the IA
nous horses owned by Ishmael 1000
years ago. thrown forward as scouts,
who, from time to time, returned to
camp and by a peculiar whinny and
neigh reported the proximity of the
enemy.
Again he relates the experiences Of
the Portuguese explorer Albuquerque,
who lived for many years in the six
teenth century on the island of St.
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds of wild horses there
to not only dig potatoes but to husk
corn, and these horses descended from
a herd brought there from Cappado-
cia in the second century, as related
by the Greek historian Philistorgius.
But to come down to the present
day, it is related by retired New
England clergyman, whose sands Of
life had nearly run out, that one day
on leading his horse down through a
lane to a brook for a drink the ami
NAL suddenly halted, and, turning it's
head round, grabbed up with it's teeth
one of its hind shoes which had just
dropped off, and, holding it in it's
mouth with the nails dangling, it
backed up against a stone wall and
clapped it onto its hoof, and with a
few violent kicks nailed it on again.
