cossaek's Horse a Wonder.

The achievements Of the Cossacks
in the recent Russian advance is no
surprise to anyone familiar with the
CosSack's horse. The animal is small,
with short, thick head and neck
and slopinc back, but what he lacks
in size he appears 10 make up i'm intel
ligonce. He is indifferent To weather
and climate, because he never had a
warm stable. He thrives where any
other horse would starve and relishes
food that goat might scorn. His
rider will tether him on n snow COW
cred plain ard he will get his own
food by scraping aside the snow To
reach the grass underneath. And so
docilc is he that he will form breast.

Lenend Of the French Poppy.

During The early stnges Of the pres

battlefelds OF northern France was
the abundance of peoples, all tile roads
being bordered by large tracts of the
red flowers, which gave the impression
that the bloodshed there lad tome

loved It,"
AS a poet he was equally great, and
many learned men Of the period held
that he was without a peer. Ben jon
son said he was "the first poet In the
world In some things, but he will per-
ish for not being understood" which
prophecy has come true. Dryden said
he was the greatest wit of the nation.
He was an impulsive man, full of fan
tastic moods and fancies. Some of
his poetry was as light as thistledown,
and some was profound. Now 1t was
vOluptuOus, and again morbid.
He wrote much about the mystery
of death, and that subject interested
him TO such degree that he haunted
graveyards. One day he stood in the
graveyard surrounding his church and
watched the weary sexton at work. 1t
was an old, old cemetery, and every
time a grave was dub homes were
thrown up. Poor people buried there
could not count upon undisturbed res
pose. In a few years at most they
would have to make way for others.
Presently, as the sexton welded his
shovel, he threw out skull, and the
preacher picked it up, and doubtless
moralized upon the vanity Of human
life. As nc tur1ed il around in his
hands, his fingers encountered q PRO
lection. II was the head of nail,
Examination showed that the nail had
been driven through the skull, and, II

The reverend doctor realized at once
that a horrid crime had been commit
ted. He questioned the sexton as TO
whose grave had been disturbed, but
the sexton didn't know. He had Off
ciated only few years. Perhaps his
predecessor might remember. The
predecessor was a white and wintry
gairer who lived at some distance.

THE SCHOLAR AND THE SKULL

Sarah Maxwell's only claim to Il
deathless renown rests upon the fact
that great man brought her 70 her
doom, and so the details Of her life
story are meager but few facts have
survived.
AT the beginning Of the seventeenth
century she was maid servant in the
home Of a wealthy citizen Of Hunting
dOnshire. She was unusually good
looking, and had some education-a
rare thing for n handmaiden in those
days-and was generally above her
station. In the employ Of the same
family there was a middle-aged man
named Armstrong. He was rather I'M
couth, with a huge shock of sorrel
hair. and little more is known Of
him, except that he was a great ta-
vorite with his master. Armstrong
saved his money n penny at q time,
and as he approached the sere and yell
low leaf he found he had money enough
TO buy an inn that was for sale. He
and Sarah were married. and took
possession OF the inn.

influence Of the master was brought
To bear to effect this marriage OF

Moorhead Butcher in Jail
When $4,000 Bail is
Unfurnished

Carl r. Nelson, local butcher. in
dicted by the December grand jury on
statutory charge and awaiting trial
at the present term of district court,
was lodged in the county Jail last
night when c. Fl. Knapp and John
Emerson. his bondsmen for the
amount of $4,000, gave notice they
would withdraw from the bonds.
Nelson was arrested by Sheriff d.
w. Mcdonald and Chief Of Police P. E.
Malvey shortly after notice was re-
ceived from the bondsmen. He has a
large number of friends here, how
ever and it was said today he would
probably be able to secure new bonds
men this week.
The charge against Nelson was
brought early in the fall by Mrs. T.
Olson of this city. He was bound
over to the grand jury at a hearing
before Judge E. U. Wade, at which he
denied the charges made by the wom-
an.
1t is expected that the trial will
come up in January along with sew
eral other criminal actions to be con-
sidered at that time.
