The Animal It Saved Unhurt.
There was line fishing In the East
river early on a recent morning for a
horse. It wasn't a river horse, sea
borso or any other kind of water horse, j
but a r'ain, mipodlgreed New York
street cleaning department dump cart
draggor which had been In the water
from 10:30 o'clock at night until 5:10
o'clock In the morning. As a land go
ing horse It always did well. As a
seagoing horse It was a distinct sur
prise, for no one had dreamed that No.
439 could hold Its own with the fishes
and after spending a night in the river
emerge Quite cheerful.
An Italian driver drove No. 433 down
to the dump at the foot of Clinton
street at 10:30 p. m. Arrived at the
th derrick chain in one of Its links
and make a noose. The trouble with
tlm plan was tliat the Ashing was car-
riod on nuder difficulties. Uenrdou had
never gone, horse fishing before. Us
Jabbed nround with the hook In the
darkness, but the cud of the chain lay
so low lu the water and so little of the
horse was showing atswe the surfac
that he made a rather poor Job of It
for awhile.
The horse would not be quiet, hut
Wall ' kt'llf Pddllng around as If It liked Its
little experience. A rope was uniuiy
secured, aud No. 43t was caught with
a noose. Then he was drawn along
side. After a lot more of the same
kind of fishing with the iole. the chalu
was caught and the slack of It drawn
lu by a polieemau.
It required a good deal of skill to
make a loop out of It. but this was
done and a canvas strap passed around
Inside the chain so that the noose would
be easy on the horse. Then the crew
pf the derrick started the engine, there
was a straining pull for a moment or
two before anything happened, aud
then the horse slowly rose from the wa
ter. I'p luto tho air No. 4: was lifted,
kicking his beels Joyously, and the
boom swung over with him to the deck
of the lighter. After that there was
another problem to solve. Ho had to
be hasted from the lighter to the pier,
but this Job was also accomplished
without accident.

Through tho efforts of George H
Himos, of the Oregon Historical boo!

wnuklo. In grounds formerly owned
by P, J. Hennlman who recently sold
the tract and It is not known whether
any provision was made for the pres
ervation of the grave or not. Tho
grave Itself has already been oblit
erated, except for a marble, shaft that
marks the spot. The shaft Is broken
and mossgrown.
Whiteomb came to Mllwaukle In
1S47 and was Its leading spirit. Ho

have succeeded can not be known as
he died at the ago of 49 years.

Mollycoddle Gets Divorce From a
Strenuous Spouse.
Despite the husband's amazing ad
mlsslou that he had sought to brllw his
wife to let him get a decree by offering
to supply her with drugs for the re
mainder of her life. Judge Robinson of
New Haven, Conn., without leaving
the bench, granted to Ir. John M.
Shepard a divorce from Pessle Shep
ard, formerly Miss Mitchell of Brook
lyn. The Judgment was based wholly on
the ground of cruelty, though Shepard
set up habitual Intemperance ou th
woman's part as another cause of ac
tion. It was alleged by the doctor that
his wife horsewhipped him and that
she hurled knives, scissors and billets
of wood at him.
Mrs. Shepard admitted the horse
whipping, but asserted she plied the
lash ouly on one occasion and that she
did so then because her husband was
holding under a faucet their son, three
years old. Water was pouring on the
child's head, she swore, and the sight
enraged her. She urged that any moth
er wonld have been moved to equal
violence.
-Dear Bessie," ran the letter In
which Dr. Shepard made his remarka
ble offer, "If you will go away quietly
and let me get a divorce without any

It Frequently Causes Much Damage to
the Strawberry Crop.
Strawberry leaf blight frequently
causes reat damage to the straw
berry crop, as explained by a grower
In Rural New Yorker, who says that
It makes its appearance about the
time the fruit sett and begins its de
structive ravages as the berries begin
to ripen. It tirst manifests Itself by
turning the leaves a brownish red; it
will then attack the fruit stems and
hulls, cutting off the supply of nourish- !
nieut from the berries; the calyx be
gins to wither and dry up, and the
berries become soft and insipid and are
of little value.
As the Berry Season Advances.
It usually grows more destructive as
the berry season advances. The condi
tions conducive to the development of
the disease appear to ho a general
weakness of the plants. This may be
brought about from various causes,
such as old and wornout lods, Im
poverished soil, plants with a heavy
set of fruit with Insufficient nourish
ment, plants exposed during winter
without protection or unmul'hed beds
during hot, dry weather. Any one of
these conditions will have a tendency
to weaken the constitution of the
plants, making them an easy prey to
rust, blight and other diseases.
Kinds Susceptible to Blight.
During tho time we have been en
gaged In growing strawberries we
have found some varieties so consti
tutionally strong in their vegetative
parts and so vigorous In their fruit
organs that they will do well almost
nnywhoro, while other sorts are con
stitutionally weak In foliage, yet
strong In fruit bearing propensities.
They set a great quantity of berries
with little or no vitality to mature the
fruit. Such varieties are very suscept
ible to blight and should not be culti
vated except by those who are well
acquainted with their natural require
ments. It requires a healthy, vigorous
foliage to digest the various plant
foods found In the different soils, nnd
probably the safest method of protect
ing the plants from blight and other
fungous diseases Is to conserve mois
ture by thorough cultivation while tho
plants are growing, protecting thorn
well during the winter with a liberal
mulch of horse manure. This material
if left on the plant during t!r? summer
prevents the escape of moisture at a
time It is most needed, and It keeps
the soil cool In fact, It Is to the bear
ing bed what the cultivation Is to the
newly planted field.
