SOOTHING A HORSE
f ie Anlmnlo Enny Introduction to a
Steam Street Roller
In one of the broad uptown thorough
fares a few days ago a mounted pn
trolman encountered u steam roller In
action and the horse was terribly
frightened It reared and balked and
then made angles across the street
first one way and then the other until
the policeman jumped oft and tried
coaxing Leading his mount step by
Btcp In the direction of the roller
which had come to a standstill he pet
led the animal and talked to it urging
It forward
A fine horse like you to be afraid
of a steam roller said the policeman
The horse pricked up its ears and ven
tured ahead another step or two
Come now come along You dant
be a policeman and be afraid of a bit
Df Iron Now come on good boy
The horse made a few more steps for
ward
Come on continued the policeman
Now then be good The department
cant afford to be giving 300 apiece for
horses that havent any nerve Come
on now
Coaxing it along in this way with in
finite patience the officer after several
minutes got the animal up to the roller
The horse daintily put forward one foot
and tapped the front of the Iron wheel
waited a moment and finding that the
machine did not kick or run reared
contemptuously and tapped the object
with both feet then wheeled and walk
ed quietly nway The policeman re
mounted and it is safe to say that
horse will never bother about a steam
roller again New York Tost
HISTORY OF SHOES
In No Article of Attire Hnve More
Vnerarlen Been Shown
Shoes or their equivalent are of a
certainty even more ancient than
gloves for they were a necessity of lo
comotion while the other was but a
luxury Sometimes they were made of
skins sometimes of papyrus as in
Egypt Often they were gilded and
decked with jewels and the most ex
pert artists of the day were employed
to decorate the foot coverings of
wealthy patricians consuls emperors
and their favorites In no article of at
tire have more vagaries been shown
Today a lady who desires to be consid
ered in the height of fashion wears
shoes pointed as much as possible but
in the time of Queen Mary the taste
was all the other way and it was
found necessary to issue a royal procla
mation prohibiting shoes with toes
wider than six inches But perhaps the
most extraordinary development in the
way of footgear were the cliopines in
troduced by the ladies of Venice to
make themselves taller than they really
were The articles were really a kind
of stilts made of wood and leather and
sometimes reached the absurd height
of twelve inches Even a trained acro
bat would have difficulty in walking on
such things and ordinary women had
such trouble with them that when they
attempted a promenade they required
the assistance of a servant at each side
and another behind to keep them from
falling From Redferns Royal and
Historic Shoes
Tliaddeus Stevens Wit
When Thaddeus Stevens had taken
to his bed for the last time a visitor
told him he was looking well Oh
John was the quick reply it is not
my appearance but my disappearance
that troubles me One day a mem
ber of the bouse of representatives who
was noted for his uncertain course on
all questions and who confessed that
he never investigated a point under
discussion without finding himself a
neutral asked for leave of absence
Mr Speaker said Stevens I do
not rise to object but to suggest that
the honorable member need not ask
this favor for he can easily pair off
with himself
Evolution of the SUate
The earliest known skates were those
roughly shaped from the canon bone of
a horse or cow and Scandinavian ar
chaeologists claim an antiquity of 1G00
years for these The wearer of these
rude skates obtained speed not by a
stroke of the foot but by pushing him
self along with a piked staff Skates
made entirely of wood were next intro
duced These were followed by wood
en ones shod with flat sjtrips of iron
Then were gradually developed bhuled
skates and finally experts evolved the
Fen type Norwegian racer and figure
skates of the present day London

LONDON WHITEHALL
1
It Was Known as Yorlc House Until
Cardinal Wolseys Fall
Old Westminster palace was the Lon
don residence of the archbishops of
York and was known as York House
or York Place down to the reign of
Henry VIII On the downfall of Cardi
nal Wolsey 1529 York House was de
livered and confirmed by charter to the
king who changed its name to White
hall
There were already several White
halls in the country and the choice of
the name in this instance may have
been due to new buildings of white
stone added by Henry YIII which
contrasted with the red brick in gen
eral use Another conjecture is that the
king wished to emphasize the depth of
the cardinals fall by erasing the very
name of the palace so clearly associated
with his elevation to power and posi
tion
This appears to have been Shake
speares view for in Henry YIII we
read
Sir you must no more call it York Place
thats past
For since the cardinal fell that titles
lost
Tls now the kings and called Whitehall
London Telegraph
A Memory Failure
A schoolteacher was trying to im
press upon his scholars mind that Co
lumbus discovered America in 1492 so
he said Now John to make you re
member the date when Columbus dis
covered America I will make it in a
rhyme so you wont forget it In 1492
Columbus sailed the ocean blue Now
can you remember that John Yes
sir replied John The next morning
when he came to school his teacher
saidJohn when did Columbus dis
cover America In 1493 Columbus
sailed the dark blue sea
The Term Bully
The term bully in the days of Shake
speare had quite a different meaning
from that which it has at present be
ing an expression of endearment and
good fellowship Some suppose that
the word when it is used in approval
is derived from the Dutch boel or Ger
man buhle which stands for the English
lover The harsher use of the word is
however to be traced to bellow the
root of bull with a significance of noisy
blustering
The Common Kind
Did you ever notice that almost all
these misers reported in the papers are
single men asked Mr Watts
Yes answered Mrs Watts Mar
ried misers are too common to be worth
mentioning
Satisfying
Do I squint Charlie asked the
rich girl
A little Maude he said tenderly
but who wouldnt with your eyes
If mine were as beautiful as yours Id
be trying to look into them myself
Indicative
When a girl acts as if she were tied
to the end of a comet and tries to look
as if she were only buttoning her
gloves most likely she is just become
engagai New York Press
