JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION
A the Boy Explained It, the Finding
Of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter.

Speaking of the development of the
storytelling talent in youth. Richard
Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating
this incident:
Some years ago a prominent citizen
Of town lost a horse. 1t was not
much Of horse. In fact, 1t was blind
In one eye and spawned. But, per-
haps as a relic. Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse.
So he advertised, offering S. reward
for its return. The town half-wit, a
boy of nineteen. with harelip, came
one afternoon leading the horse, with
a strap about the size Of shoestring
to the prominent citizens door. The
horses owner was pleased.
"Now." said he kindly, scenting {
good narrative and perhaps an ad
venture. now, my boy, here's you
IS; and I'll give you another S. II
you'll tell me Just how you found my
horse"
"Well, all right" said the boy. 81
JUS thought If 1 was that old horse
where would go. and I did and he
was"
He got the extra five.-Kansas City

THIS ANNISTONIAN SCION
 OF DENMARK'S NOBILITY

Count Holtz's career is quite an inter- esting story. Owing to a rupture with his father the young count and his bride | left Denmark and came to make their home in far-away America, coming first to Philadelphia, where he opened a studio in 1S42. Art in America, however, | in these early days, did not appeal to people of wealth and culture, who had been accustomed to making their selec- tions in Europe, / At this time, too, an unfortunate illness began to affect his 1 health, and the young count was ad- i vised by his physician to seek a more active life in the southland. Accord ingly he came to Charleston, where he resided for some years. Finally the re- peated returns of the yellow fever scourge caused him to decide to leave that city. From thence he removed with his family to Chester and established a carriage factory. He was most cordially welcomed there as q man of affairs and an owner of an important enterprise. He lived among the village folk loved and appreciated, simply as c. Hotz.
 | At the outbreak of the Civil war MT | Holtz espoused the southern cause and furnished army wagons made at his factory free of charge and delighted in providing comforts for the soldiers who came through his town. When the war
