Country club grounds is about ready
for bus;ness-all that's needed now
for the Inauguration of winter fes-
tivities is little snow. The slide
can be run all right by icing ever

will make it seem more winter-like
and seasonable. Mr.. Ashley is look
ing for it any day.
The new slide is as straight as an
arrow it has been ditched to depth
of l6 inches, and additional banks
of snow on each side will make it
safe beyond all reasonable doubt
A new bridge has been thrown
over the Kedron, and after passing
this the tobogganists will scoot
across the meadow to the bank at
South street, and--as they will still
have speed to spare-return some
distance.
The slide will be open every day
from 10 a. m. to 1880 p. m, and
from 2 to 80 p. m. A team will
be run from the Inn twice day--at
10 and 2 o'clock.
The charge will be so cents for
each person, for the morning or
afternoon. On Saturdays special
price of 25 cents will be made for
school children.
The road from the club house te
Golf avenue will be kept open fo'
sliding during the same hours that
the toboggan slide is running.

UNsoUcRr GLORY.
Luck Of an Involuntary Hero Of ths
Franco Prussian War.

Franco -Prussian War.
During the Franco-Prussia war
the horse of Prussian cavairyman
involuntarily did an act which led
to the capture of French battery,
and, just as often happens in life,
the credit for it was bestowed else.
where.
One day during a hot conflict the
troop Of cavalry in which Fritz,
whom we will call the soldier in
question, rode came to the top of
hill. On the crest of another hill
and across deep ravine the French
had planted battery.
Suddenly Fritz's horse reared
and jumped and started down the
hill toward the ravine on swift
run. Fritz tried to check the
frightened animal, but found that
it had taken the bit in its teeth
and was wholly unmanageable,
Down the hill, across the ravine
and up the hill on the opposite
side the horse went at wild gallop
The French battery began pour.
ing out shot and shell, and Fritz
realized that runaway horse was
exposing him to terrible danger.
The cannon doomed, and the Shrek
ing shells passed by his head, but
by some strange fate neither he
nor his horse was harmed.
AS the horse dashed up the hill
to the very mouth of cannon
Fritz concluded to make the best
of his dangerous situation and drew
his saber for self defense.
To his surprise, he saw the
Frenchmen leave their batteries
and turn like frightened sheep.
But he understood why they were
panic stricken when he looked back
and saw his comrades charging up
the hill on their horses. BY this
time he had gained control of his
horse, and, dismounting, he held
one of the enemy's guns as the
prize he had captured.
When the other cavalrymen came
up he found out that they did not
know his horse had run away, but
thought it was all personal bravery
on his part and that he had urged
the. animal to make it's mad race
into ''the jaws of death" to capture
the battery.
Did Fritz explain that his bravery
had been forced upon himp Well,
no! He was shrewd and sensible
fellow, so he accepted compliments.
and congratulations and said moth
ing.
He was promoted to captaincy,
and all because of his runaway
horse. If Fritz had not made that
ride the cavalry would never have
attempted it.
