some time previously made her home
with this farmer at whose place the
young man was employed. On his reg
ular trips to the home of the farmer
to call upon the idol of his affections
he woull drive in high-seated bug
gy drawn by chunky bay horse.
Needless to say, he was quite proud
of his equipage and placed an enor-
nous value on the outfit, always tying
to an old maple tree in front of the
house. In fact, the horse became so
accustomed to the tree that he would
draw up to it and stand from force of
habit
When the object of his affections
left the house of the farmer at whose
place the young man was accustomed
to call and whisper sweet nothinss,
she took up her residence at the home
of another farmer, the father of the
man at whose house she had former.
ly lived. her new home being half a
mile nearer to Farson, where her beau
lives.
On Sunday recently the gallant
youth with his gay equipage called
at the place where the young lady is
now making her home and whether
In trepidation at meeting his lady love
or some other cause, he forgot to tie
the horse, or tied 1t carelessly. At
any rate, he entered the house and
spent delightful evening discussing
the hope of their future, in which two
hearts would beat as one (if not each
other.)
AT late hour the young man, hav-
ing taken last farewell, with the
promise of calling within few nights,
went out of the yard and walked some
distance from the gate to where he
had tied his horse earlier in the even
ing. Looking about for his horse he
failed to locate it, and stood for a
while in CONSERVATION at the thought
of the horse having been stolen Hav.
Ing spent some time in searching for

not care to arouse the household to
apprise them of his misfortune, he
concluded to walk to his home in Far.
son. the distance of four and one half
miles.
The walk home in the wintry air
did not tend to elevate his spirits, but
rather did they droop, and he was
downoast at the thought of having
lost his horse and buggy. Awakening
in the morning, he reported off duty
and made UP his mind that he would
make thorough search for the lost
or. as he thought, stolen property
The thought of how much of a factor
habit plays in the learning of dumb
animals did not occur to him and as
ne did not remember that the horse
mad been in the habit of stopping at a
maple tree that had served as hitch
ing post for many months, at a house
half a mile distant from where the
young man now courted.
When going to town the following
morning, the farmer for whom the
youn man formerly worked, noticed
familiar looking horse alongside the
maple that for so long had been Its
hitching post and, getting into the rig
the farmer drove into Farson, left the
horse in charge of friends, tellins
them of the strange find, and came t.
Ottumwa. The horse in the meantime
was turned over to it's nonplusse6
owner with the injunction to give tht
horse a little more consideration
when he went counting.

SCOT FALLS HEIR
TO Big ESTATE

RENO, Feb. 3.-To have a small
fortune of 100000 suddenly thrust
upon him from far-away Nevada was
today the experience of James Boyd
of Edinburgh, Scotland. when the ad-
ministrators of the estate of John
Lee, who died in Wadsworth a few
weeks ago, cabled the news across
the water to the only surviving rela-
tive.
Lee, who was pioneer of Washoe
county, left real estate valued at
$4,000, and had about $250,00O in
San Francisco bank. 1t was thought
at first that no heirs would be found
and the State was preparing to re-
vert his property, when a nephew in
Edinburgh was heard of. The re-
port was confirmed and the cable
went across the waters today.

Piles PLEADS FOR
AN APPROPRIATION
(By Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. a.
Senator Piles of Washington today
delivered an eloquent appeal in the
Senate favoring an appropriation by
Congress of 500, 900 for the govern
ment exhibit at the Alaska a-Yukoh-
Pacific exposition to be held at Sc
attle next year. Piles said the peo-
pie of the State of Washington had
contributed $2,00O,OOO for an expo
sition. He said the foreign exhibits
at the exposition will be confined
strictly to products of nations bor-
dering upon the Pacific Ocean, di-
rectly interested in the development
of Pacific trade. The exposition. he
said, will enable the United States
to enter into trade relations with
Asia and South America and will in
crease commerce.
