AM EQUINE JOKER.
Sculptor Wards Model, Lex, Seemed to
Have a Sense Of Humor.


The late J. O. A. Ward. the sculptor,
found great diversion in watching the
tricks and pecuIiarities of the horses
which served as models for some of
his equine statues. He made friends
with them all, and he was a good
friend to them.
'The only horse humorist that
have had experience with." Mr. Ward
Is quoted as saying. "was of thor.
oughbred blood and he was real
Joker. That was Lex, a horse of the
blood of the immortal Lexington.
LEX was of a splendid type. He
stood for me for much of my early
work. Somehow he discovered that
table on which / worked was easily
shaken. II was a board on trestles so
arranged that the position of the board
might be altered to almost any angle
When Lex saw was busiest he would
slide slowly and silently to the side
of the table and turn his head to have
good look at me as he jostled the
table with his shoulder or hip. II
was amusing at first, but IL sometimes
hampered me, and / thought / would
try joke in return.
LEX had place at the table that
he invariably approached, and when
he struck it always leaned on the same
corner. Lex was not conscious when

tending over the edge of the table,
and braced the other end against q
weight.
II had not long to wait before Lex
gently came up, and I thought could
see mischief in his eye. He took his
usual place, and then when pretend.
ed to be very busy he pushed the table
in his usual manner, pricked his shoul-
der on the points and jumped bach
with snort. He looked long and
hard at me, but took his place of duty
The joke was against him that time"

A MMite."

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in, the various values given to a mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite seems to have been a third of Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half a far thing, and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value In those old arithmetic books "mite' stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins. but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 17O6 makes 1t one-twelfth of a penny. two sixteenth century books one-sixth of a farthing. and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of a penny. .At'on- don Chronicle.

II wasn't long before he grew an idea oi his own.
 Every family that moved to town ht spotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary and the new people were made to fec at home. When this personal atten. don had got in its work. a representa-. dve of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in terview was incorporated into . letter nimeograph copies were made. put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken to the newcomer. and he was asked to address them to his friends "back east" The scheme worked lfke magic and the population boomed. Of that Aea many new ones were born.

SPARED BY THE ENEMY.
A Dramatic Incident In the Career of
 General do Gallifet.

0enefal 00 0aIIttot.
 It was on that fatal day. Sept. 1. 1870, that General de Gallifet distin- guished himself by commanding tho cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view k opening . passage toward Floing, where 1t was hoped the army might re. treat. Tbe first charge overthrow the Eighty-third regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops. but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of th French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with what re. nained of the light cavalry and hus- sars. and then Gallifet answered ia the words that have become historic. "As often as you wish. general. as long as a man remains" The second charge was not so successful as the first. Only few men, with their gen eral at their head, succeeded in pene trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia. who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh. les braves gems"
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat. tie. As Gallifet was returning with few survivors. their horses for the most part wounded or foundered. he passed before the Nassau regiment The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "vive remperetlr.!' and the German officers acknowledged the salute. some of them applauding.- Westminster Gazette.
