Starting a Balky Horse.

There is most always one horse in
every lot that refuses. to bulge when
time is called. A horseman who has
had experience says: I'VE have seen
bad case conquered by the driver
getting out of the wagon and patting
the animal on the head for minute.
Then he picked up stone. lifted up
one of the animals front feet from
the ground and gave each nail light
tap and a smart tap on the frog. Then
he dropped the foot quickly, jumped
into the wagon and told the horse to
go. and he did"

A HOTEL DINNER.
The Husband Ordered 1t, and His Wife
Criticised It.

The Husband Ordered 1t, and His Wife
Criticised It.
On the midnight train ride from
town, where he and his wife had been
entertaining one of his best patients
at dinner and the theater. the subur-
ban doctor spoke bitterly:
"What dinner! And it cost $15.
The cooking in these big hotels is afro
cious. They smear sauces over every
thing | suppo Sc it is to hide poor ma
terials"
cit isn't the fault of the cooking that
our dinner was failure. 1t was its
selection that doomed it,"
"What was the matter with the Sc
lection?"
"You should not have done the or
dering. You have your meals chosen
for you almost every day in the year.
1t is the women of people in our cir
cumstances who ought to arrange the
menus at restaurants. Look what you
ordered! Bisque Of lobster-a soup
with a body of thick white sauce.
weetbreads-cooked, as usual, with a
cream dressing. Virginia ham with
champagne sauce-a brown sauce as
thick as molasses Then for dessert
you took a chance on pudding Refine
Victoria-candied fruit and lady fin
gers swimming in soft custard."
"Well, how is a fellow TO know!
Lobster soup. sweetbreads. Virginia
ham and pudding Refine Vfctoria-it
sounds fine"
"But a woman knows that it Is a
wretched combination Of splendid
dishes. 1t is the woman's dull duty
to choose menus for 365 days in the
year. She learns a good deal about
selection. Yet when a sum of money.
equal to a weeks food expenses, is to
be squandered on one dinner at
hotel it is the man who seizes the
menu and tries to look capable. He
makes a failure frequently, as you did
tonight. 1t would have been pleas
ure for me to order fifteen dollar din
ner-a change from manipulating din
ner for four on 81. But men feel too
important in a restaurant to submit
the menu to their wives for assist

Needed the PRAYERS,

A sympathetic old clergyman in an
English country village was waited
on one Sunday morning just before
service by young man, who said:
"Will you kindly ask the congrega-
TONS prayers this morning for poor
William Smith,"
Willingly said the clergyman.
And at the proper moment in the
service he besought all those present
to pray earnestly for the unfortunate
William Smith in the great trouble
and peril that encompassed him. The
request, he was pleased to note, made
a deep impression on the congregation
After the service, meeting the young
man who had asked for fntercession
in Smiths behalf, the clergyman said:
"What is the matter with your
friend? Do you think it would do
any good If I were to call on him?"
I'm afraid not" was the sorrowful
reply.

ATTACK REC[AMA.
TON LAW

Spokane, June 3-Eormer United
States Senator George Turner of Spo-
kane has gone to Washington, D. c.,
to appear before the United States
supreme court in the noted litigation
of the Irrigation Land and Improve
ment company of Arizona against the
government. He will first have a
conference with Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary Of the interior, with a view
to bringing about a compromise, in
which event the suit will be dis
missed. Otherwise, it is expected to
attack the constitutionality of the
entire reclamation service as organ
lied by the government.
The Importance of the case be-
comes apparent when it is known
that more than $12O,0O0,O0O has
been expended by the reclamation
service since January 80, 1908, in
irrigation works in the western states

A decision, which has a bearing on
the case, prepared by Justice Brewer,
and handed down by the supreme

that the reclamation work is not legal
under the constitution of the United

NEW YORK, June 24.TBroughton
Brandenburg, a witness in his own de-
fense today, related the history of the
preparation of the Grover Cleveland
article the sale of which to the New
York Times led to Brandenburg' trial
on a charge of grand larceny.
Brandenburg said he had suggested
to the former president that he prepare
a series of three political articles and
allow Brandenburg to sell them. The
witness said he offered Mr.. Cleveland
$1,000 for the series.
on March Brandenburg called at
Mr.. CleVeland's Office and received
from him fifteen or eighteen groups Of
papers. The contents were made into
the article signed Grover Cleveland.

matter himself and later took the type

We're then again transcribed.
His next and last interview with Mr.
Cleveland was between March II and
16 he said, when Mr.. Cleveland sigued
the last page of the carbon copy and
did not blot the signature.
Brandenburg was shown the alleged
Cleveland signature in evidence and
declared it was not the signature Mr.
Cleveland affixed to the article.
Handed the Cleveland article in
evidence, the one alleged to have been
sold to the Times, Brandenburg said he
could say positively that it was not
the original Cleveland article, pre-
pared by him personally and signed by

atty Remanded

NEW YORK. June 24.-Remission of
the fine imposed on the Togo Kaisen
steamship company on the charge of
violating the coastwise shipping laws
in recently landing Mrs Timmons,
daughter of former vice president Fair
banks, of San Francisco, is provided
in a decision just rendered by Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce and Labor
McHarg.
Mrs. Timmons recently sailed from
San Francisco with her mother and
father for world cruise, but at Homo
lulu, on cable advice that her hus-
band had been ordered back to shore
duty, she returned to San Francisco
on the Japanese boat.
This violated the law which imposed
a fine of 5000, on foreign steamship
company for each passenger carried
from one American port to another
The fine was remitted because of the
unusual nature of the case.
