SOME OF THE NOBLE STEEDS THAT HAVE ACHIEVED FAME. THE COURT JESTER. llll. THE DIFFERENCE. Governor iloicomo iinally mustered up c u atre yesterday to draw on tho st te treasury for house rent, says tho State Journal. lie stopped drawing last April and all through the cam palgn he declined to make out a claim for the usual amount. He drew $(!0 yes'erdny jor nine months, being at the rate of $40 a month. Iu order to draw this money the governor is re quired under the provision of a new law to t ike oath to the correctness and genuineness of the claim. It has been reported that this provisions of the law and fear of criticism deterred the gov ernor from drawing the money. Gov ernor Crouse rtfused to accept a simi lar appropriation and vetoed that particular item in tho appropriation bill. The crossing of the $160,000,000 line by the gold reserve in its upward movement, which is the highest point touched since September. 1S90, is a financial event of great importance, savs an exchansro. Ever since the over throw of Brvan. nearly fourteen months ago, there has been a steady increase in tna treasury gold, except during the two or three months in the latter Dart of the spring and the earlv part of the summer when gold exportation was under way. Finan cial confidence has been completely restored. All that is needed now to make the treasury situation ideally good is an abundant revenue, ana the constaat gain in governmental income ever since July shows that that condi tion cannot be far off.

How to Prevent Pneumonia. At this time of the year a cold is very easily to contracted, and if left to run its course without the aid of some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dre d disease, pneu monia. We know of no better remedy to cure a cough or cold than Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always (riven entire satisfactions Olagah.llnd. Ter. Chief. This is the only remedy that is known to be a certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thous ands who have used it for colds and la grippe, we have never yet learned of a single case having resulted in pneu monia. Persons who have weak lungs or have reason to .ear an attack of pneumonia, should keep the remedy at hand. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for 6ale by all druggist.

The Four Footed Friend For Whom a City Waa Named Koman Horses That Lived Ilke Princes Chargers Who Woo Itenown Amid the Carnage, of War. It is hard to say with any near ap proach to accuracy how long the hcjr.se has been a dometstieutcd animal. WTo can only nay that he lias been mo from time immemorial that is, from tho earlietit times of which wo have any records. Tho Assyrian nculptures and they nro about tho moist ancient of which we know anything, for some of them are estimated to date from 4200 li. (J. contain inoro representations of capari soned horses than oven men. Still, wo do not get any examples of favorite horses until a long time after this. Even the first examples, indeed, are only legendary, for, though there is no d'juht that Hector of Troy existed, it is not improbablo that Homer invented tho names of his three favorite horses, I'oderge, tho cream colored Galathc and the fiery Ethon. Ilut the horse of Alex ander the Great, Bucephalus, is an indi vidual as historically real as his master. This famous horse was, says I'lutarch, offered to Philip for lii talents (about L'i, 5 18), but he displayed so much vi cionsness that Alexander's father was about to send him away when the young priuco offered to tamo him. Ho agreed, in the event of failure, to for feit tho price of the horse stud began by turning his head to the sun, as ho ob served that tho horso was frightened at his own shadow. In the end he com pletely tamed him so completely, in deed, that Bucephalus, though ho would permit nobody except Alexander to mount him, always knelt down for that purpose to his master. He died at the ago of 5J0, and his master built as his mausoleum the city of Bueephala. Readers of Mucaulay will remember the famous Mack A lister, the horse of Merminius, and the dark gray charger of .Mamilius, whoso sudden appearance in the city of Tusculuin without his master brought the news of the defeat of the allies at Lake liegillus. Connect ed with that battle, too, were the horses of the great "twin, brethren, " Castor and Pollux, coal black, with white legs and tails. But those are legendary. Not so, however, tho well known horse of Caligula, Incitatus. This animal had a stable of marble; his stall was of ivory, his clothing of purple and his halters stiff with gems. He had a set of golden plates and was presented with a palace, furniture and slaves completo, in order that guests invited in his name should be properiy entertained. His diet was the most costly that could be imagined, the finest grapes that Asia could provide being reserved for him. Verus, another Roman emperor about a century later, treated his horse almost as extravagant ly. He fed him with raisins and almonds with his own hands, and when ho died erected a statue of gold to him, while all the dignitaries of the empire attend ed the funeral. As we come to later times, so we get more examples of favorite horses. Wil liam tho Conqueror had one which ho rode at tho battle of Hastings, about which almost everything seems to be known except his name. lie was of huge size and was a present from King Alfonso of Spain "such a gift as prince might give and a prince receive. " This gallant horse, however, did not survive tho battle, for Gyrth, Harold's butcher, "clove him with a bill, and he died." Richard I's horse was called Maleck, and was jet black. Be bore his master through the holy war and ar rived in England before him. In fact he survived the king several years. Tho second Richard, too, had a favorite horse, called Roan Barbaiy, which was supposed to be the finest horse in Europe at that time, and it was on Roan Bar bary that the young king was mounted when the incident wherein Wat Tyler was stabbed by the mayor of Walworth took place. About a century later we get the Wars of tho Roses, and in the many battles of that civil disturbance a cou ple of horses played important parts. These belonged to the great Earl of Warwick, the kingmaker. His first was Maleck, a beautiful gray, which he rode at the battle of Towton. It was this horse whose death turned the for tunes of the battle, for Warwick, seeing that his men were giving ground, de liberately sprang from his favorite horse and killed him. Then his men knew that the kingmaker was prepared to conquer, but not to ny. They rallied and finally won the battle. There were two horses belonging to highwaymen which were famous in their time. One of them belonged to the celebrated knight of the road, Paul Clifford. He was called Robin and was Irish. In color iron gray, he was re puted by judges of horseflesh and there were some who were quite as com petent to give an opinion, if not more so, as any of the present day to be ab solutely without blemish and to be sec ond to none. Another famous horse, or rather mare, was Black Bess. Her own er, Dick Turpin, or, to give him his correct name, Kicks, committed a rob bery in London at 4 o'clock in the morning, and, fearing discovery, made for Gravesend, ferried across the river and appeared at the bowling green in York the same evening, having accom plished his ride of 300 miles in 16 hours on one horse. At least so says the leg end, and this is certain that on his trial he was acquitted, the jury consid ering it impossible that he could have got to iork in the time. London Standard. A Practical Joke That Will Sommers Played on Cardinal Wolsey. Amelia Wofford tells of "Tho Court Jesters of England" in St. Nicholas. Tho following is related of King Henry VIII's jester: Sommers, liko S og"in, liked a prac tical joke, and one that he played on Cardinal Wolsey is thus quaintly told by Arm in : "Of a time appointed the king (lined at Windsor, in the chappel yard at Car diuall Wolsey 'h at tho same time win n he was building that admirable work oi nis tomoe, at wimso gale stood a number of poore people, to bo served with alms when dinner was done with in, and as Will piss, d by they saluted him, taking him for a worthy per.-on-age, which pleased him. In he comes, and finding the king at di oner and t iso cardhiall by tending, to disgrace him that he never loved, Harry, sayes bee, lend me '10. What to doc? saies tic king. To pay three or foure of the car dinally creditors, quoth hee, to whom my word is past, and they ant now come for the mom y. That thou t-hi.lt, Will, quoth hee. Creditors of mine:'' saies the cardinall. He give your grace my head if any man can jr.: t ly a.-ko me a penny. No, sait s Will. Lend me flu. If 1 pay it not where thou owest it, lie give thee 20 for it. Uoo so, saies the king. That I will, my liege, saies thee cardinall, though I owe none. With that h" h nd.-i Will 10. Will goes to the gate, dis tributes it to the pooro and brought the empty bag. There is thy bag u;;aiiic, saies hee. Thy creditors are i-ali. fi. d, and my word out of danger. Who re ceivd, saies the king, the; bn wer or :he baker? Neytln r, Barry, saies Will Sommers. But, cardinall, answer ice in one thing, to whom dost thou owe thy MODERN CHICKEN COOPS. ioule? To Cod, quoth hee. To whom thy wealth? To the poore, saies hee. Take thy forfeit, Harry, saies the foole. Open confession, open penuance. His head is thine, for to the poore at the gate I paid his debt, winch bee yields is due, or if thy stony heart will not yield it so, save thy head by denying thy word and lend it mee. Thou know est I am poore and have neyther wealth nor wit, and what thou leiidest to the pooro God will pay thee tenfold. The king laught at the jest, and so did tho cardinall for a shew, but it gric ed hiiu to jest away 10 so." DON'T TALK OF YOUR ILLS. He Listened to All. Fontenelle listened to everything and ba offended no one by disputing anything. At the close of his life he was asked the secret of his success, and he replied that it was by observing two maxims, "Everybody may be right" and "Everything may be so." Delightfully Entertained. The Misses Mia and Barbara Gering entertained a company of their friends most acceptably Saturday evening. Dainty refreshments were served quite early, after which the beautiful parlor was thrown open and devotees of terpsichore held high carnival un til time to depart for home. The guests thoroughly appreciated the hospitality shown them. Sayl Have you heard the Plectra- j phone? People Are More Interested In the Pleas ant Side of I.ifo. "Every one of us has his and her own ailments, " writts Edward W Bok in Tho Ladies' Home .louriial, decrying the unpleasant habit many people have of discussing their bodily ills "It is enough for ns all to keep well ourselves To bo compelled to listen to the ail ments of others does not make that task any easier. Besides all this, these un necessary narratives of personal ail ments aro positively injurious to our selves. Physicians all agree, that many of the slight illness, s, of which some people make so much, could be curt d if they would but take their minds from themselves. Too many pi ople woil themselves into illnesses or prevent themselves from getting well by ta'kin about a petty ailment which, ii iorgot ten, would right itself "I will not say that women, mo than men, aro prone to this evil, bu as the. majority oi womi n nave more leisure thau tho majority of men thev are more likely to let their minds nwcl upon every little ill that assails then and talk about it. It seems to me that- one of the most important-lessons we can an learn witn ti:e close oi tne yea- is to refrain from inflicting upon others what is purely personal to ourselves Let us cease this tiresome, this incou siderate, this unnecessary talk about our ailments. Cold and hard as it may seem, the fact is nevertheless true, an will ever remain so, that the vast ma jority of people are interested in wha is pleasant in our lives, but not in what Is unpleasant, rams and sorrows are elements in our lives which aro sacred and interesting only to ourselves." The Once Familiar Laths Have Glren Way to Wire Netting. Men whoso memories go back, say, 40 years will reinemler that In those d.iys when a man wanted to build a chicken coop he bought a bundle or two of laths and built it. There are mighty few lath chicken coops built nowaday. Even tho smallest chicken raiser, who keeps u few in his back yard, makes his coop or runway of poultry netting. The chicken house, or shelter, is made of boards, often of two thicknesses and with tarred paper between, for better protection from the weather, and with openings at the bottom and under tho projecting roof for ventilation. Laths were cheap; jtoultry netting is still cheaper. It is made of steel wire, galvani:i :L iu various widths and in various sizes of mesh. Tho netting most commonly used is six feet wide, with a two inch mesh. The chicken raiser sets up a frame and tacks the netting to it. Narrow nettings of smaller mesh aro used in various ways to keep in little chicks sometimes a foot wide small mesh netting to run around at tho base fit the lnelosure, the regular netting bt ing set above it, thus increasing tho total height of the netting. Sometimes the small mesh netting is run around inside of the regular netting, thus mak ingtho lower part of the netting double. I Souk times it is used to make separate tin.t 1 1 lnclosnies within the largo run way ;:nd perhaps to make a number of PmrJl inclosures to ep separate broods of chicks apart. The narrow, small mesh netting is made up to thrt) and a hall feet in Width. There is nowadays a nso for wire net ting in chicken houses. A netting witl a square mesh is laid on tho flior of chicken houses to keep out rats and mice. There aro now many largo establish ments in this country for the raising of chickens for commercial purposes, for market and for breeding, and there aro as many men as ever who raise chickens at home, from the many who keep few in the back yard, with a simple chicken house; and coop, to men who raise m.any chickens and maintain an elaborate plant for their breeding and keeping. But under whatever conditions they arc raised, chickens are rarely seen nowadays in coops made of laths, such as were familiar 40 years ago.

At the ago of .) years he was entered as a royal cadet i. e., he was to be educated at the ex pense of the king, Frederick VI, in the Copenhagen Military academy and, having taken his examinations, he wore the Danish uniform until he, as a sub lieutenant at the age of 27, petitioned the king for three years' leave to pro ceed to the continent to study the mil ltary art, as he says in his petition, to be able on his return to employ his ac quirements for the good of his country. This petition was granted, but the count also asked to be allowed to retain his pay, and as the king rtfused this h .ook his discharge and entered tho Prus sian army, a recruit whom that organi latiou has every reason to hold in en luring niemorv There is no sentiment about Grizler Ho is close and is not easily alarmed. It is not surprising, then, that the doctor assumed the utmost gravity when Griz ler called to present the case of his wife. "I'm greatly afraid, " said the bus band, "that her mental equilibrium is disturbed. She is not like other women and not as she used to be." "What are the symptoms?" "You may regard them of a negative character, doctor. To begin with, she never opens her fashion papers of late. " "Bad! Badl Very bad I" "I feared as much. The woman who lives next door called last night and wore one of tho most elegant hats I ev er saw. You know that 1 am not given to noticing such things. Mrs. Grizler never seemed to see it and said nothing about it after the caller had gone." "Awful, " exclaimed tho doctor, "aw ful. I've known your wife, Grizler, ev er since she was born. No one ever had brighter mind or a happier disposi tion. I can't understand it. Used to be the life and beauty of every company oho was ever in. Does she co out?" "No, i, or entertain. Never mentions tho theater, burns .-ill invitations and is without tho slightest iuur(.sl t t. cial whirl. I would give halt x -ortu to see her the girl I married. " "Done," snapped tho doctor, and he wrote out tho strangest prescription on record. It called for horses, carriages, fine raiment, jewels and a well filled purse. At the bottom was a receipt in full for 250,000. There was no chance for . Grizler to weaken, and now his wife is one of the most brilliant women in the swim. When she and the old doc tor meet, he winks and she whispers, "You dear old soul." Detroit Free Press. AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. fcoinber and Terrihle Was the Scene at tho Moment of Totality. Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, writing in The Atlantic; of an eclipse seen in Jar pan, says: "Just before totality, to oc cur at 2 minutes after 3 o'clock, I went over to the little lighthouse, taking up my appointed station on the sum n it, an ideal vantage ground for a spec tacle beyond anything elso I ever wit nessed. Grayer and grayer grew the d:iy, narrower and narrower the cres cent of shining sunlight. The se.i faded to leaden nothingness. Armies of crows, which had pretended entire indiffer once, lighting and flapping as usual on gables and flagpoles with unabated for vor, finally succumbed, and flew off with heavy baste to the pine forest on the mountain side. The French man-of-war disappeared iu the gloom, the jnnlvs blended in eolorlessnoss, but giass and verdure suddenly turned strangely, vividly yellow green. "It was a moment of appalling sus pense. Something was lunng waited for. The very air was portentous. Tho flocks of circling sea gulls disappeared with strange cries. One white butterfly flut tered by vaguely. "Then an instantaneous darkness leapd upon the world. Unearthly night enveloped all things. WTith an inde scribable outflashing at the same sec ond, tho corona burst forth in wonder ful radiance. But dimly seen through thinly drifting cloud, it was neverthe less beautiful, a celestial flame beyond description. Simultaneously the whole northwestern sky was instantly flooded with a lurid and sfartlingly brilliant orange, across which floated clouds slightly darker, liko flecks of liquid flame, while the west and southwest gleamed in shining lemon yellow. It was not line a sunset; it was too som ber and terrible.

Don t give in was about the gist of what tir Wyke Eayliss said to tho English art students in a lecture at the South Kensington museum. He told them what ought to be their watchword "Do not believe, he said, in the in sidious lie that the devil is always whispering to the soul of the artist that the golden age of art is past and that what was done yesterday cannot be lone today, for art is in its decadence. Such an assertion was the danger of the time, and he would have them track it to its source and kill it there. It had two forms despondency and tempta tion but he urged them not to be in fluenced by either. Let their study be based upon knowledge, the knowledge that had accumulated during the ages and was formulated in what was known as academic training, and let their knowledge in turn be based upon their own studv.

The ancient pueblo builder, like his modern descendant, was so completely under tho dominating influence of his geographic environment that from sim ilar conditions ho almost automatically worked out similar results. In the mat ter of a site for his home, however, he had some latitude, and the choice he made reflected something of tho social conditions under which he lived. Thus it is probable that in the earlient times the people lived in email villages locat ed on the edges of valleys or near the mouths of fertile flat bottomed canyons. Ihey Jived a quiet, peaceful existence depending principally on the soil for the means of subsistence, but not de Bpising the harvest of grass seeds and wild nuts which were at hund and glad to break the even, placid course of ex istence by periodical bunting expedi tions to the neighboring mountains for deer and out iutc the great plains for buffalo. In the course of lime, howevo other and more savage tribes came to .he re gion, and these preyed upon the prior occupants of the country, who were in dustrious and provident and accumu lated stores against possible bad seasons. it is aouDtiui wnetner mere were any pitched battles or prolonged sieges, but the robbers made periodical forays through the fields when the crops were ready for the harvest or perhaps as saulted and looted some small village when the men were away. Cosmos Mmdeleff in Bulletin of American Geo graphical Society. A Woman Matadors at Cordora. . Now comes the denouement, for upon a final flourish of trumpets the matadore, who in this particular performance was a woman, Btepa forth with a brighter red flag or cloak on a staff in her left hand and a good Toledan blade in her right, hidden beneath the right edge of the red flag. The bull makes a dash for the woman. Our ladies turn their heads and ask me what I see, and I report u calm, deliberate and skillful step to the left by the female matadore, quick flash of the sword, a bend of the body to the right and over the bull's neck a epurting cf blood, not very copious, and the sword baa pierced the animal's neck close to the shoulder. The jugular is severed, the beast trembles, his knees give way, and he falls amid the applause of the audience at the skill of the swordswoman. Before the matadore pro ceeded to the slaughter she formally asked permission of the presiding alcal de to do the killing, and, upon his for mal consent, proceeded with sword in hand to the front of the ball.
