WOMAN BEATEN BY
DRUNKEN HUSBAND

With a little baby clasped to her
breast, a panic stricken mother last
night vainly sought TO avert certain
death, while her whiskey Infatuated
husband pursued her around the
house, threatening to kill her after
first carefully locking the doors to pre-
vent her escape. After a-pursuit of
nearly 10 minutes, the mother finally.
became wearied and was captured by
the drink craZed man who struck her
in the face, knocking her over a trunk
into heap on the floor. AS the wom-
an fell, she managed to shield the lit
tie one from injury, as the Infatuated
man continued to beat and kick her.
This morning her husband, Frank
Smith, COS Third street, pleaded guilty
to charge of disorderly conduct and
the court suspended a 5000 fine over
his head. and compelled the man to
take the pledge for a year. The fine
will hold good, whenever Smith breaks
his pledge or strikes his wife.
The couple have been married for
seven years, during which time the
woman has been subjected to fearful
abuses, according to her story this
morning. when my husband is So
Der he is all right" she said, but
when he drinks whiskey he becomes
a devil"

Fore Feet Of a Horse.

'Tt's q funny thing" said the old
animal trainer, but you can't train a
horse to walk on his fore feet because
he amt built that way. Take the dog
or cat animals and they'll not only
walk on their fore feet, but they will
go up and down stairs with their hind
legs in the air. It's a little harder to
teach than walking on the hind feet.
but it is merely q matter Of patience
and Of knowing how. but get a horse
of his hind legs and you have lame
horse. Dozens of trainers have spoiled
from one to twenty horses apiece try
ing for the trick, but the nearest any
one ever came to It was an English
trainer who had a jackass that could
stay up for little while, but even the
Jack was strained and soon had to be
destroyed. Horses taken into upstairs
theaters VIII go up the steps as agile
as cats, but whenEthey come down
they have to be backed down. That's
one reason why horses used in Hill
work break down so quickly It's not
the long, hard pull uphill; it's the hold
Ing back going down."-New York Sun

In some of his lectures Professor
Robert w. Rogers of Drew Theological
seminary expressed his opinion on the
location Of the garden of Eden. He
thinks that the garden of Eden was
somewhere in the region lying between
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. In
an address before the Harlem branch
of the Y. NJ. G. A. some years ago he
said:
when the search for the holy grail
ceased in the middle ages the human
mind took up the problem Of the loca
ton of the garden Of Eden. This has
been put in many places-Armenia,
Utopia. Atalantis (the prehistoric con
tinen) and equatorial Africa. Chris
TOPPER Columbus thought that Vene-
zuela was the place, and because there
is an Adams peak on the island of
Ceylon others have put the garden
there. It has also been found In Pal
estine and at the north pole"
