EQUINOX DUE NOT
LATER THAN FRIDAY

The fine fall weather which we have
been enjoying for some time past is
nearing an end, and this week the sun
viii hide its face, and the country
hereabouts will get an equinoctial
drenching. 1t may come late Wednes-
day night, and it may come later. II
may not arrive until Friday.
But while the Weather Bureau is in
doubt as to the exact time the storm
VIII arrive, it asserts that once here
it viii stay few days, and, according
to the prediction. there will be enough
rain TO last a while.
There's a West Indian storm fooling
about the southern coast and heading
northward, and it will add to the gen
eral dampness.
The haze of the past day or two is
attributed TO the forest fires in tho
Northwest, the nearest of which Is a
thousand miles away. and from this
fact one may get an idea of their
extent.

HORSE MEETS HIS MASTER.

Former Trooper of 18th Cavalry
Shoes Him After Struggle.
With eyes flashing, nostrils dlstend-
ed, ears laid back, mouth open and
whiskers standing sharply on end,
Satan, vicious horse, gave desperate
battle with brawny blacksmith yes
terday afternoon, says the Des Noines
Register and Leader. Satan determined
he would not be shod; the blacksmith
shod him single-handed, but in the tus-
sic had his left hand literally crushed.
Several bones were broken and the
smith suffered eXcruciating pain.
The name of the smith Is H. w.
Brown, former trooper In Troop D,
Eleventh Cavalry, who was discharged
here and took up his trade with Vro-
man.
Satan is beauty; little sorrel
weighing scarcely more than 1900
pounds, plump and full Of ginger and
fire.
Satan has always rebeIled savagely
against the iron shoe. His very name
was given him on this account. He
has never been known to let smith
shoe him without being bound by leath-
er straps until he could not move.
Brown is wiry soldier, erect and
solid.
Satan was led in by common
halter and tied to the ring in the side
Of the wall. With great leather apron
about his waist, Brown took the shoe
and approached Satan. Quick as a
flash the horse wheeled and both feet
shot into the spot where Browns stom-
ach was-but Brown was quicker in re-
moving It
Then came into play the scientific

still, while the hot iron was pressed
against his hoof; then Satan's hoof was
released. For the first time he took q
good look at the man who dared.
When the shoe was ready to nail
Brown again approached. the horse.
The same tactics were adopted, except
that at the crucial moment Satan. in
stead Of merely twisting himself.
crouched and jumped forward as far
as his halter would allow and let fly
his left foot twice so quickly that II
caught Browns hand each time. By-
ISLANDERS heard the bones crush as the
cruel hoofs struck. Browns face went
white, his teeth set, and quietly asking
his helper to take satan's head. the
plucky fellow brought the crippled
hand to bear the best he could. and.
forcing the little sorrel in a corner. de-
liberately cowed him by the power Of
his eye and his nerve and nailed both
shoes home.
When 1t was over the smith was wet
with perspiration and almost faintinR
from pain. He was taken at once to a
physician, where his hand was dressed.
Satan showed no more Ill temper. but
walked with his head down from the
building, as though he were ashamed.

A recent German paper gives an al
ecdOte of man who strayed into a
charity BAZAAR" and had a trying
experience.
He had made several quite unsatis-
factory purchases, not knowing how to
refuse the demands Of the pretty sales
women, and at last, to prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought small match box, and carried
1t Off in triumph and haste.
Examining 1t after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
So, with the air of one determined
not to be cheated, he marched back to
the young lady Of whom he had bought
the box.
"There is mistake here" he said
you sold me this pocket match box
and there Is no place on 1t to scratch
the matches"
my dear sir" said the young lady,
you are quite right; l made a mis-
take. That Is intended for jewel box,
and costs 80 cents more, II you please"
"And what did you dor" asked a
friend, to whom he related his tale of
woe.
"If you've ever been to a fair" re-
piled the other, in an aggrieved tone,
"you know very well what I did. I
paid the so cents, Of course"

blacksmith's tactics, picked up in the
United States army, where bad horses
are plentiful. Advancing to Satan's
side, Brown was ready for the next
spring and caught Satan sharply in
the flank with the point Of his elbow,
a painful grunt was Satan's reply, and
he huddled himself in surprise in q
corner
The smith stopped to lift hoof, and
Satan, without moving his foreparts,
deliberately twisted himself in a posi-
ton to let fly one foot, but Brown
again escaped by springing aside; this
time, however, the smith trapped the
fellow and caught his left foot before
he had the leg stiffened. There was
a struggle. Brown slipped knee un-
der the hoof and cruelty pressed down,
crumping the leg so that Satan stood

The following week Miss Dalrymple

Lynn Yeames had the sagacity to leave
Coneyford, and keep out of sight know
ing that he could do nothing to re-estab-

the farm where he was to work such
wonders, or finding the bad weather that
succeeded the frost intolerable, or society
dull, or for some other reason that may
be clearer later on.
He had made himself very popular at
Coneyford with his charities, his reckless
riding, his agreeable manners, and his as
sumption of bluh, outspoken honesty.
People were inclined to think even better
of him In his absence than when ne was
amongst them, remembering the pleasant
side Of his character and forgetting the
little slips which occasionally awakened
suspicion. He was spoken of az a fine
type Of muscular Christianity. Miss Dali
rymple was constantly with these people,
and as 1t was generally understood that
tacit engagement existed between her
and Yeames, they thought to please her by
talking about him. and sounding his

ington. He has been travelling ex-
tensively through the country, study
ing business and political conditions.
Speaking of business conditions he
said:
I'm the south, and in fact in every
other part of the country I have WIS.,
tied, have observed a general return
of prosperity. We can judge of condi-
tions only by comparisons. Last Oc-
tober the railways all over the country
were strained to the limit to furnish
cars for the movement of crops and
general business. 1 do not believe
that there will be any car shortage,
but it is comfortable to know that
the railroads are being called upon
to place in service the thousands of
cars that they laid aside last fall"
Political conditions have nothing
whatever to do with the business sit
uation, added Mr.. Taylor.
"It is the first time in twenty years,
I believe, that politics have had no
bearing on the business affairs of the
country. 1t seems to make no diter.

decided to abandon that organization
and support the Democratic ticket.

NOTHING SERIOUS
ABOUT AUTO fire

A rumor was current on the streets
soon after the noon hour today that
a serious accident and had been great
Wilbur Wright's aeroplane baked
ly damaged out at Petal.
1t is learned that the report was
greatly exaggerated. Some packing
got into the dust try and caught on
fire and had not the smoke been no
ticed by passenger the result might
have been quite serious. AS it was,
some water was secured at a nearby
house and the fire was put ou+. hut
not before some damage was done to
the machine. Another auto was sent
out to Petal and the passengers were
transferred. The damaged auto was
left at Petal, but may be put in rum
ming order this afternoon.
