Caught i Tartar.

Senator Theodore Z. Burton Of Ohio,
who is q bachelor and has never been
ensnared by the wlles of women, tells
a story Of a young lady and Judge OF
his acquaintance. The former was a
witness in the latters court The pros.
ecuting attorney had repeatedly put to
her questions which she persistently
evaded under the plea that she did not
comprehend his meaning, whereupoD
his honor undertook to bring out the
proper responses. Leaning over, he
said IA kindly and fatherly manner:
Young woman, why Is it that you
insist in refusing to understand the
questions Of counsel? You are a per.
son Of charm, grace, beauty and more
than average Intelligence and
'sThank You, your honor" interrupt

Watering the Horse.

Tt Is allowable when a horse is hot
to let him have three or four swallows
o. cool water, but no more. The few
swallows viii help cool him, and an
other limited drink may be given every
few minutes for four or i've times,
after which he may drink his fill With
out danger. In careless or inexpe-
rienced hands. however, the only safe
way is to let the horse stand Tor half
an hour or more with no water until
he is fairly cooled off.-Country Life

ended While we regret that editor
Charles 7, Fairfield failed to secure the
appointment, we congratulate Rutland
on getting so good man as George F.
Pease seems to be. His position as as
sistant postmaster certainly gives him
certain insight into the work, which
fits him to be successor to the late

TO WEAR RUBBER SHOES
San Antonio Hackmen Must Provide
Their Horses With Rubber and
Steel Shoes-The Reason.

San Antonio, Texas, June 1S.-Tn
order to protect this city's asphalt
pavements, hackmen who have their
stands on the plazas must hereafter
provide their horses with rubber shoes
for the front feet and smooth steel
= shoes for the pedal eXtremities south
of the equator. All this is due to the
circumstance that the asphalt pave
ments which the city has been laying
with its own paving plant are not as
adamantine as they well might be.
Moreover San Antonio's hack horses
are said to be hard on any pavement
for the reason that they have the
habit of spending the time between
fares by trying to find out just how
soon they can reach the concrete
foundation underneath. For some
time now all hackmen have been BAN
lshed from the plazas, but in view of
the fact that this practically drove
them out of business, for the benefit
of the livery stables the concession
implied has been granted them with |
the understanding that hippo will |
wear rubber shoes and that they will |
employ man to keep their stands in
a clean condition.

Mrs. M. Raven took aim at and pune

proximity to her chicken coop, and
now Mrs. Henrietta Franck has laid
low her husband with whom she had
some disagreement over certain prop
erty rights. Mrs. Franck Immediately
after the shooting called up police
headquarters and informed the ser
geant that she had tried to kill'' her
husband But though she may have
tried hard she failed to a considerable
degree, for all she did was to knock

WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
of Piles.

Disagreeable treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside eff
fects of the disease and fails to rem
edy the inside cause The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine, to
free the circulation in the lower bow
ell, and so remove the disease.
