HORSE as YEARS OLD.

Saved Master at Magenta, sunk to
Shafts of n Cab, but Died Happy.
An inquiry as to the limit Of age of
horses Is reported in a German farm
journal by DIR. Norner- Barensburg,
who has collected information far and
wide on the subject, says the New York
Sun. According to his conclusions thir-
ty years would seem to be the equine
equivalent for the human three score

horses, but many reach 1t and not q
few surpass 1t.
The oldest horse Of which he could
learn any definite facts was a roam
mare bred in the government stock
farm In Hungary, and she was at least
As years old when she died. In 1885,
she was assigned to Lieutenant Theo
dore Won Leyss Of Lemburg, serving ir
the fifth regiment of uhlans. In ths
next year horse and rider were trans
ferred to the twelfth regiment, and In
1850 they made the entire italian cam

genta tho lieutenant was cut of from
his regiment by body Of French
troops. His brave mare carried him to
safety by an extraordinary leap ovel

In 1858 Won Leyss got into financial
difficulties and in the following year hs

IN GOOD OLD ROMAN STYLE.

Tennessee Lover Snatched Bride
from Her Brothers.
A good story Of lover that captured
his sweetheart and carried her of and
married her In the good old Roman way
comes from Texas, says the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal. It appears that
Ed Grief has been much In love with
Miss Ella Francis for some time The
courtship, however, was carried on
very much against the wishes Of the
young lady's parents. For some six
months they had kept their eyes right
upon her at church, at school and at
home. II they were not watching
themselves they had some person al
ways near whose intention was to keep
down the match.
In that mysterious way known only
to lovers, however, they kept up a cor
respondence with each other, she as
surfing him upon every occasion posi-
BILE that her heart was still true. Last
| Sunday morning she conveyed the in
telligence to her lover that she was
going to visit her uncle in the Hynds-
yer community, and would likely only
be accompanied by her two brothers,
aged Is and II years. This news was
sufficient for the young man and he
made preparations accordingly. He
cadne to Dresden and procured the nee
essary license. He then secured the
services of W. W. House, Esq. a bosom
friend Of his, and posted him near the
roadside where the wagon was to pass.
At the hour of 10 the wagon came roll
Ing along. and sure enough the young
lady was In 1t sitting on the front seat
between her two brothers.
As 1t passed certain point he came
out of this bushes, halted II and reach
ed for his sweetheart. The brothers,
seeing what was about to happen,
whipped up the mules to make them
pull out Of the way, but the young
American had taken the precaution 10
build a rail fence just across the road
In front and swung onto the wagon
with all his strength and the team
soon came to standstill. He seized
the girl with both arms around the
waist, while the brothers hung onto
her feet, but like all lovers in such
cases he pulled her loose and they
struck across the open field to find the
justice. He was not very far away
and the knot was tied before you could

After the marriage the couple, fear
ing that the father, who had just lost
a daughter and gained a son-in-law,
might carry out his often-expressed de-
sire to thrash the life out of both of
them IL ever this important event
which had just occurred did occur, got
In the Justices buggy and drove to his
house for dinner, where they could al
the same time have the protection of
the law. The boys In the meantime

and told the story.
The old man, finding his daughter
had beaten him, rode one of the mules
back looking for the fleeing couple. He
learned that they were at the Justices
residence and called with the voice of
a roaring lion. Squire House went out
to see him, and after much discussion
and persuasion he agreed to take his
daughter back and receive his newly

Precautions of OLD Time Doctors.
1t was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry a cane having a
hollow head, the top Of which was gold
pierced with holes like a pepper box.
The top contained a small amount Of
aromatic powder or Of snuff, and on
entering the house or room where a
disease supposed 10 be infectious pre-
vailed the doctor would strike his cane
on the door to agitate the powder and
then apply 1t to his nose; hence all
the old prints Of physicians represent
them with canes to their noses.

let me help you?" he said.
With the feeble old arm In his, he led
her safely over. 1t cost him only q
minute and a little thought.
1t was a tribute that youth owes to
age.
It was simple kindness
1t was thoughtfulness, and, Of course,
politeness, because politeness Is moth
Ing but consideration and thoughtful

1t was sympathy. The feeling that
made the boy want to be of some serv-
leo to the old lady was the same feel
Ing that makes every one of US who has
heart and Is not ashamed of 1t want
to help everybody who is down or In
trouble or unable to help themselves.
And 1t was chivalry toward woman
kind. We all possess that-some Of It.
1t Is such tremendous pity, isn't It,
that we are growing SO selfish that
we haven't always time to be cour-
teousf There are still places In big,
busy America where men take off their
hats in public elevators when women
are present. Foolish? Perhaps But
the spirit that prompts it isn't foolish.
1t Is only a survival of that world-old
feeling that every man owes all respect
to every woman.
When the boy helped the old lady he
not only assisted her and himself did
a kind act, but he furnished lesson
to a whole world full Of people.-Cin
