of Stealing Horses
A man giving his name as Harry

suspected of stealing a horse. He rode
into town on a fine horse with n lino
saddle and offered it for snli rivdn

mediately became suspicious and called
Chief John Frazier, who questioned tho
man as to where ho got the horse. He
stated that he had worked for John
Johnson, a farmer living eighteen
miles south of the citv. but whim th,.
oflicer phoned cut there hewas informed
thnt Johnson had never had a hired
man.
Smith was talking to some other par
ties and stated that was he from Lex
ington. At another placebo stated that
he had come from McPherson county.
As he could not give a satisfactory ac
count of himself, he was turned over
to the sheriff and lodged in the county
jail.
Late in the evening, Sheriff Salis
bury received a call from Sam Moore, a
farmer near Dickens, stating that he
had a horse stolen and wanted the
authorities to keep a look out here. He
described the horse so that it was im
mediatedly identified as the one that
had been sold.
An Old Caddie's Rotort.
lie is tin old caddie on an east const i

on these occasions his dignity Is In

Ono day recently he found himself
caddylng to an old gentleman who

than for tho love of the game and who
was playing shocking golf.
By the time the twelfth hole was
reached he had been In most of the
bunkers en route and had succeeded In
breaking n club. "I think I shall give

Probably his family noticed that he
had a grouch too. Considered In the
calm, clear, cold light of puro reason,
the gentleman succeeded In proving
himself a near relative to a California
canary otherwise known as a donkey.
Had he won the bet tho result would
have been pretty much tho same, for
belting Is not argument, evidence or
proof of anything. It adds no force,
power or dignity to any opinion or set
of opinions. It Is merely the outpour

a spirit that has led ninny a ninn to

A Merciful Farmer.
A young lady from the city was go
lug one summer to mako her first visit
to a cousin In the country. At tho sta
tion she was met by tho cousin, nnd
after a half hour's drive ho told her
they wore approaching his farm.
In one of tlio brond fields Mint met
the young lady's attentlvo eye stood a
windmill, nnd gathered around It, somo
standing nnd somo reclining, were
several hogs.
"Well, that beats anything I ever
heard of!" exclaimed tho fair ono. "I
didn't know that you farmers were so
considerate."
"What does?" queried tho country
cousin.

girl, pointing a pretty finger. ".Inst

"Xope accident," he answered, ns

Courage of Despair.
Professor McCoy of Melbourne uni
versity in n book about snake experi
ments tells a strange, story Illustrating
tlio' courage of despair. Putting a
mouse Into n box that contained one
of his captive cobras, ho watched the
reptile glide slowly toward it. Tho
mouse shrank terrified Into a comer,
and then when the cobra's tlattened
head was within an Inch of It It tmrnug
Into the air and alighted on the back
or the neck of Its foe. It sat there and
clinched Its sharp little teeth in the
rentllo's Mesh. The colirn mulil nnt-
sbake It off, and it bit deeper and deep
er until the cobra lay dead.
Dirigible Balloons.
The dirigible balloon Is by no means
a modem Invention, ns many people
seem to think. As a mnttor of fact, as
long ago as 1781 General Meusnler pro
posed the construction of an elongated
bnlloon which might bo propelled
through the air. Experiments were
made with It by two brothers nnnied
Robert, who made several ascents nnd
attained n speed of three miles an hour,
though tho method of propulsion was
only aerial oars worked by hand.
Nothing further wns attempted until
1S.'2, when Henri GIITard built dirigi
bles which, by melius of a light steam
engliio, he propelled at nearly seven
miles an hour, and since then various
experiments Lave been mnde which ill
