When the dam of Anvil was Identified with racing she was known as I Amy Smith. Frank c. Jones, who owned I her sold her in 1897. He received less

 "In addition to the mare herself being

 "The fact that Amy Smiths son Anvil

For sev- i.eral days trained men have taken good l looks at everything on four legs hitchcd | to wagons that are stabbed on the East | Side. I think MT. Jones now would pay almost any price to get back that mare. 'The case of Amy Smith is interest ting, indeed, but there are other cases just as interesting. I am sure that right low John E.

 An oyster is an ugly and loa.hsome looking thing. They look poisonous men, acing and dangerous. Of all forms of sea food they appear least likely to agree with the human digestive organs.

J., the town of his birth. because of indignities to his @lther, who for years was a Presbyterian clergyman there. The widow of the ex- President graciously waived the rule of silence that governs her in order to deny the report.
 Almost everybody is familiar with the fact that MT. Cleveland was born at Gala we'll" said Mrs. Cleveland. This report, however, is the first I ever heard that he hated the town. He never knew that his father left his charge at the Caldwell Presbyterian church under & cloud, as al- legged. never heard that my husband left the town with his legs dangling from be- hind the family carriage, vowing ven ceance on the place and saying he would never return to it. I guess the facts in the case amount to very little."
