A peasant living in the village of

lost his COW. About two months ago
he happened to he standing ut TIE
railroad station watching a train load
OF cattle about to be sent across the
frontier. Suddenly he gave a shout.
That's my cow he cried. running
toward one OF the cars.
The trainmen only laughed at him.
and he went before the magistrate.
This good man listened to the peas
ants story patiently. Then he pro-
nounced this judgment: The COW shall
be taken to the public square of Pre-
deal and MIXED. Then if it goes Of it's
own accord to the plaintiffs stable it
shall belong to him"
The order of the court was carried
out. and the COW. in spite of its ten
months absence. took without hesita-
ton the lane which led it a few min
utes later into the peasants stable

OF the course will be held at the col
lege, and the remainder Of the course

gers, accompanied by digests. The
circulation Of the books VIII be sys-
tematically arranged and progress Of
the work checked by periodically re-
viewing the work.

ParIor Horse Racing Fad In Paris.
Paris has a new gambling fad, or
rather a child's game adapted to the
use Of adults. 1t is parlor horse rae
ing. Two clubs are active in this
sport now, and the craze seems to be
spreading. Devotees keep their sta
bles modelled after real ones and have
any number of little lead horses which
are kept by IN imaginary force Of
grooms and stable boys. The favorite
horses are tended with the greatest
are to protect them from being dis
abled. The clubs meet every week,
when races are run for stakes varying
from 40 to 300 francs. Regular en-.
trance fees are charged, and the races
are governed by q series Of rules. A
miniature cours Is laid out on a table
and the horses are advanced by throws
Of dice. The are begun with
three or four dice, and as the goal is
reared the number Is reduced to one
to prolong the suspense.

to the north roadway. Brady had only
time to notice that he was sobbing bit

Walker had almost gained the road
way before Brady shouted to Police
man Fitzgerald. The latter followed
Walker, and Brady brought up the
rear. Sergeant Farrell and Policeman
Scanlon, who were a short distance
away, also started on the run for the
point where they could gain the girder
and follow over to the roadway.
But the man crossed the road and
climbed the outer railing before the
policeman was halfway down the lad

girder watching Walker, suddenly no

One Of the peculiar1ties Of the child

he would have to allow the surgeons
to operate on him. This sense of fear

Off Brooklyn Bridge
Policeman, Attempting to Prevent a Manac's Plunge to the East
River, Struck by a Trolley Car and Thrown
Into Wate7y Grave.

Edward II. Walker of Chicago, said
to be the SOL of we'll to do parents, was
about to leap into the East river from
the Brooklyn bridge when Policeman
R. ]. Fitzgerald, who was trying to
rescue him, vas killed before his eyes.
Afterward, when Walker had been
dragged from his perch on the railing
by Sergeant Farrell and Policeman
Scanlon, he refused to say a word
about himself or to tell where his par
ents lived.
q" will tell no M of my family. l
have caused trouble enough" he said.
"My parents would kill themselves in
shame if 1 revealed their identity un-
der these circumstances"
Walker, who is twenty-five, was first
seen walking over the promenade to-
ware New York by Stephen Brady Of
100 Gold street, Brooklyn, who was
on his way home from Manhattan.
The two men had almost met in the
very center of the span. Walker sud
denly turned to the right and climbed

off the policeman and wedged him
against the ironwork.
One cry rang out from the tortured
man. and then as his body reached an
open space in the ironwork it shot
away from the car and struck the rails
Of the 81" road. Then it bounded over
to fall between two ties and drop to
the river below. Only the helmet re-
manned on the roadway.
All this time Walker sat on the top
Of the outer rail looking on. His sobs
had ceased, and he watched the trag-
edy enacted before him like a man in
a dream. 1t was not until Sergeant
Farrell and Policeman Scanlon, with
ady, reached the roadway and
bounded across it to seize him that he
awakened. Then he became a maniac.
Farrell seized him by one leg and
hung on. but Walker kicked at him
and tried to throw himself forward
and off the railing into the water,
more than 100 feet below.
But Brady and Scanlon also got a
hold on the struggling man. and after
