SOME HORSE STORIES
(Springfield Republican,

A man living near Litchfield, Mimi,
has horse that takes his children to
school in Litchfeld every morning
When the "kiddies" get out of the bug.
gy they tie the lines to the dash and
the horse goes home alone. He always
makes the return trip without any
trouble. When he arrives home he al,
ways stops at the same place and
waits there until someone leads him
to the barn. A number of horses were
employed to haul material from a
large building excavation to a point
some squares away. 1t was only nee.
essary to station men at the loading
and unloading points, the intelligent
animals passing between the two plac-
es without the direction of drivers,
thus effecting considerable econo-
my in wages. Another horse, the
property of Chicago man. which was
recently stolen, after the lapse of a
few days turned up at his proper home,
drawing spic-and-span wagon and
proudly wearing a brand-new harness.
Inquiries by the owner of the horse for
the proper owner of the wagon and
harness have evoked no response,
which, upon reflection, is not so mex
plicable.

of Norfolk Is by far the most valu- able There are 5000 pieces in 1t. many of which are very massive, such as the huge soup tureen, an immense tahle center and 50 drinking goblets. The pieces are not all of the same period. The most valuable are the drinking gob- lets of the Elizabethan period to which also belong some of the plates. A value is attached to these pieces that is very greatly in excess of their value estl- mated merely by their weight. Two ElIz- abethan goblets in the Dunn Gardner collection fetched s25,00O apiece when sold at Christies rooms some 14 or 15 years ago. The dukes goblets would prop- ably fetch larger price if they came into the open market. This Is a con- sideration that will rather complicate the treasury scheme of valuation which is to be made purely by weight Tt would be obviously impossible for the treasury to commander old gold plate at Its weight value when such plate had a value many hundreds of times greater. However, the quantity of old gold plate in the country having value greatly beyond it's actual worth as gold is not. so far as is known, very large at all events such gold would not be comman- deered under the present scheme though 1t will be included in the register.
 Estimate of Value
 It is worth while noting that the fla nous Windsor dinner service in posses sion of King George used at state ban quets and always described in the press as "the gold service" contains but 800 pieces of which the service consists are of silver gilt.
 The court goldsmiths estimated the to- tai worth of the gold plate in the pos session of the 200 families on their reg
 ster at IS million. Outside the titled arstocracy there are several county fam flies who have very valuable gold plate
 MT. William Gladstone grandson of the great statesman and squire of Haward- en, who was recently killed in action, had a collection of gold plate that has been valued for probate at $s00,000. The Pike Peases of Yorkshire had a collec- tion of gold plate that was valued on the death of the late MT. Pike Pease in 1890 at sl,35o,0O0. About half of 1t was sold at the time to pay heavy charges
