From the New York Herald.
Roaebud. an educated horse of the

gagged in regulating traffic. Scores OF
women, many of whom are prominent

a day passes that they do not stop 10
feed him loaf sugar, candy, or apples.

bud raised his head, pricked back his
ears, and gave low bow OF recogni-
tion. In the animals big intelligent
ewes the woman could almost read the
words:
Just q minute and I will be with
you"
Turning his head to the west, facing
the Hotel Gotham Rosebud gave q
warning look In the direction OF chauf-
feurs and coachmen coming up Firth
avenue and the northbound traf1c was
brought to a standstill In the same
manner long line OF automobiles and
carriages going south in the busy thor
oughfare were halted by the horse, who
then, with O. bow Of the head, signaled
waiting vehicles bound east and west
in Fifty NTH street to proceed.
His duty performed, Rosebud hurried
to the curbing, where his friend was
still waiting. With neigh of welcome,
the horse greeted the woman in furs.
She then pulled from her mum a linen
napkin in which she had wrapped vev-
eral cubes of loaf sugar. Rosebud ate
the saccharine offering, bowed q fare
we'll, and rushed back to his post of
duty
Several minutes later the horse
glanced to the southwest corner, where
q woman and little girl were about
to cross the busy street, Hurrying to
their side, Rosebud led the way to the
curbing on the opposite side, and a.
quickly was back at his post giving

Reform by Suicide.

From Success Magazine.
The course of true reform never runs
smooth--not even in China.
Not long ago Yung Lin, Chinese pa
triot. respondent over the rapidity with
which everything was going to the Chin
csc terriers. wrote long letter to the
Emperor-Regent complaining about things
in general. To add emphasis to his re-
marks he committed suicide. The govern
ment. in recognition OF his patriotic de-
votion, issued an edict in his honor, but
whether 1t has taken any steps toward
the reforms he suggested the dispatch
does not state.
The letter Of protest is said to be one
of the most remarkable pieces Of muck
raking on, record.
"Rice," said this ardent reformer In
one choice passage, has become as dear
as pearls, and firewood as costly rs css-
sia buds"
So It seems that in far away China, the
ultimate consumer has his grievances. If
we only had In America men who would
put as much devotion into living for their
country as poor Jung Lin did into dying
for his, we should indeed be fortunate.
