FIRST HORSES WERE SMALL
Bomc Queer Things About Equine
Evolution
Every now and then a horse is bom
with two or three toes Sometimes 11
is a mere freak but often as scientists
assert it Is a reversion to an ancestral
type The earliest horse known ap
peared in the Eocene epoch and was
hardly bigger than a fox It had four
-toes each terminated by a small hoof
There was presumably an older form
that had live toes but no fossils to rep
resent it have been discovered Later
came a horse with three toes as big
as a goat The horse of to day walks
on the nail of its middle toe and still
exhibits the last two vanished toes in
the shape of little splinters of bone on
either side of the leg beneath the flesh
The not very remote ancestors of
modern horses probably were striped
like their surviving relatives the ze
bras and quaggas Dun colored horses
are apt to have stripes on their legs
Now and then appears a stripe on the
shoulder like that of the wild ass The
stripes are supposed to have been in
tended by nature as a protective col
oration It will be observed that the
body stripes of a zebra are vertical
while those on the legs are horizontal
but when the animal lies down and
draws up its legs underneath it the
bars run all the same way Thus they
correspond to the bars of light and
shade and it is said that a zebra in its
native haunts is apt to be stumbled
upon before its presence is observed

Blows through the trees most of ub who can

PARALYSIS
From the Press 2few York WW-
Morris Preslaner of No 1 Pitt street
ew York who is a real estate agent and
collector of rents caught a severe cold
early last spring which settled upon his
kidneys Soon he began to suffer severe
pains in his backbone sides and chest
His symptoms grew rapidly more alarm
ing until at last he was as helpless as a
child and could scarcely move as he lay on
his bed As Mr Preslaner is well known
in the part of town where he resides he
had many sympathizers who did all they
could to help hhn
Though a native of Berlin Mr Pres
laner has lived in this country for forty
years having served the country of his
adoption by three years hard service in
the civil war He enlisted with the Nine
teenth Illinois Infantry taking part in
many battles and marching with Gen
Sherman to the sea While in Georgia
Mr Preslaner was promoted to first ser
geant for bravery on the field of action
He is a member of Koltes Post G A R
and a very popular man in the Post
Mr Preslaner told a reporter the story
of his dreadful Hlness and wonderful
recovery 1he reporter met him as he
was returning from a long walk and
saying that he had heard of his wonder
ful cure asked him to tell the story When
Mr Preslaner was comfortably seated
in his pleasant parlor lie told the follow
ing story which he said he hoped every
one who was suffering as he had suffered
would read His words were as follows
To begin with I was taken sick just a
year and a month ago having taken a se
vere cold which settled on my kidneys At
first I thought the pain I suffered would
soon pass away but instead of doing this
it grew more intense every day so that 111
a week I could walk only with considera
ble difficulty
I called in a doctor who said I bad
locomotor ataxia and began treating me
for that disease He did me no good and
all summer long I could scarcely attend to
my business at all Then I called another
doctor and took his medicine for several
weeks but experienced no relief Dr
Truman Nichols of No 287 East Broad
way who I at last called in helped me
more than any of the other doctors but
along towards fall I grew worse despite
his treatment I think Dr Nichols is a
good doctor and understood my case but
despite this fact his medicines did me no
lasting good
Early in November the little strength
I had in iny legs left me and I was unable
to stand The pain in my back and sides
became almost unbearable and my limbs
grew cold An electric battery I bought
failed to help me and for weeks I felt my
self growing weaker until all hope left mo
Some time before this I had read of a
wonderful cure a man had received from
Dr Williams Pink Tills for Pale People
but was so prejudiced against what 1
thought was a patent medicine of the
usual worthless character that I could not
make up my mind to try them As my pains
increased and deatn seemed coming near
I thought of what I had read and of the
symptoms of the man wlio hail been cured
They were precisely the same as miae
and at last with my wifes earnest en
treaty I consented to try the Pink Pills
I am now convinced that these pills
saved my life Gradually my strength
began to return the desire to live grew
stronger within me After having taken
three boxes I left my bed This was earlv
in March All pain had left me and that
terrible dead feeling in my legs had gone
away I was still very weak but before
I had taken the fourth box I was able to
get down stairs for a short walk in the
open air Every pleasant day I take a
walk and am sure that in a month I will
be as well as ever
Dr Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements -necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves They are for sale by all druggists
or may be had by mail from Dr Williams

One day says a Chicago theatrical
man I sat in the office of a New York
theatrical agent He was looking for
attractions for a vaudeville show and
word to that effect had gone out To
him came a tough looking little man
in checkered clothes once vociferous
but now subdued by wear of time The
man wa accompanied by a dog of
somewhat superior appearance Th
visitor said he did a tramp act and wa
assisted therein by the animal The
gave an exhibition of their talent
which was not half bad
What are your terms asked th
agent
Sixty dollars a week
Ill give you 15
The imitation tranfp bent a sad re
proachful eye on the agent and back
out of the room followed by the dog
At once he returned carefully slut
ting the door to exclude his partner
who remained in the hall
Ill take it he said wheres the
contract Ill have to go you its a
clean case of push but for heavens
sake dont mention the price where the
dog can hear you
