A REMARKABLE FRIENDSHIP.
Cxlstlng Between the Famous Trotter
Barns and Ills Dog Companion.
No sketch of Rarus would bo com
plete without some mention of hi9 re
markable friendship for a dog, says a
writer in the Atlantic Monthly. When
the horse was in California a fireman
.gave to Splan a wiry-haired Scotch ter
rier pup, who was then two months old
and weighed when full-grown only two
pounds. Splan in turn gave the pup
to Dave, the groom of Rarus, with the
caution not to let the horse hurt him,
for on several occasions Raru3 had
'bitten dogs that ventured into his stall.
.But to this terrier, who is described a3
possessing "almost human intelli
gence," the trotter took a great fancy,
which the dog fully returned. They
became fast and inseparable friends.
"Not only," said Mr. bplan, "were
they extremely foud of each other, but
1hey showed their affection plainly as
did ever a man for a woman. We
never took any pains to teach the dog
mnything about the horse. Everything
he knew came to him by his own pa
tience. From the time I took him to
the stable a pup until I sold Rarus they
"were never separated an hour. We
-once left the dog in the stall while we
took the horse to the blacksmith shop,
jind when we came back we found he
had made havoc with everything there
was in there trying to get out, while
the horse, during the entire journey,
was uneasy, restless, and in general
acted as badly as the dog did. Dave
remarked that he thought we had bet
ter keep the horse and dog together
after that. When Rarus went to the
track for exercise or to trot a race the
log would follow Dave around and sit
by the gate at his side watching Rarus
with as much interest as Dave did.
When the horse returned to the stable
After a heat and was unchecked, the
dog would walk up and climb up on
his forward legs and kiss him, the horse
always bending his head down to re
ceive the caress. In the stable, after
work was over, Jim and the ahorse
would often frolic like two boys, If
the horse lay down Jim would elimb
on his back, and in that way soon
learned to ride him, and whenever I
led Rarus out to show him to the pub
lic Jim invariably knew what it meant,
ud it enhanced the value of the per
formance by the manner in which he
would get on the horse's back. On
tlie-e occasions the horse was shnwn
the halter, and Jimmy, who learned to
distinguish these events from those in
which the sulkv was used, would fol
low Dave and Rarus out on the quarter-stretch,
and then, when the halt
was made in front of the grand stand,
Dave would stoop down and in a iiasli
Jimmy would jump on his back, run
up to his shoulder, from there leap on
the horse's back, and there he would
stand, his head high in the air and his
tail out stiff behind, barking furiously
at the people."
When Rarus was sold to Mr. Bonner,
Splan sent Jimmy with the horse,
rightly judging that it would be cruel
to separate tiiem. Rut in Mr. Bonner's
stable there was a bull terrier in charge,
and one day when, for some real or
fancied affront, the small dog attacked
the larger one, the latter took Jimmy,
by the neck and was fast killing him,
but Rarus heard his outcries, and per
ceiving that his little friend was .in
danger and distress, pulled back on
the halter till it broke, rushed cut , of
bis stall and would have made short
work of the bull terrier had he uot been
restrained by the grooms. ''?,:':'-"
A Napoleon In His Way.. V
A wel'-known mad doctor has Just
died at Vienna. He had a large prac
tice, a great reputation, and a curious,
indeed a unique, experience. Napoleon
was the great kingmaker of the cen
tury. Prof. Lecdesdorf was the great
kingdothroner. No one medical man
has had so large an experience. When
in 1876 Sultan Mourad V. was to be de
posed and Abdul Aziz set up on the
throne the professor was sent for to
Constantinople, examined his royal pa
tient, and promptly declared him mad.
There was no appeal from the decision.
Later on, when Louis II. of Bavaria
was getting unusually eecentric, his
Ministers did not dare take any steps.
They sent to Vienna for the professor,
who seems to have had no difficulty
in pronouncing him mad, and the
members felt their responsibility at au
end. Sometimes he would be sent for
to St Petersburg. The Romanoff
family had failings. And the professor
had to give his verdict. On all these
occasions he got great fees. It was
easy work. No doctor, not even a mad
doctor, could doubt the insanity of the
patients Pall Mall Gazelle.
Tbe Match Is Off.
A certain well-known New Yorker,
who has to hustle for his bread and
molasses, this summer fell in love with
a girl, and ever since August has been
on the eve of proposing to her. His
income is $2,500 a year, but he wanted
to be certain that be could pay all the
expenses before rushing into the fray.
He estimated that the rent and run
ning expenses of a suburban residence
would cost $1,800 a year. He allowed
$350 a year for his personal expenses,
and thought the girl could get along on
a like sum. To be sure, he didn't ex
pect to save any money while living at
this rate, ' but like other young men
had abounding faith in a special provi
dence which would cause a long-forgotten
uncle or other relative to die
some time and leave him a fortune.
So he asked an intimate friend of his
lady-love how much the latter spent on
her wardrobe during the year. The
friend said: "Why, she told me only
day before yesterday that her clothes
cost $1,600 a year, but she did think
he could get along on $1,500." The
engagement has not yet been an
oouuead. jV. T. Sun.
A New Rose.
An entirely new rose, called ' the
"rainbow rose," was exhibited at a re

Senator Wolcott Tells a- xaru.
WhenTTnited States Senator Wol
cot, of Colorado, was in Chicago, he
was, like every other distinguished vis
itor, taken to "the Auditoriums He saw
everything from foundation to coe
stone. and was then escorted to Mr.
Peck's office, to tell the latter what he
thought of it all. Wolcott is as full of
fun as a goose is full of grease. After
expatiating in most glowing terms
upon the wonders of the great building,
and speaking of the projectors and
builders in terms which brought a'mod
est blush to President Peck's face, the
senator closed his encomiums with a
story. "When I lived in New York
some years ago," said he, "there was
elected to the state senate a coarse, il
literate fellow from the Hudson River
districts named Morrissey. It wasn't
John Morrissey, of course, but another.
Morrissey was a rich liquor dealer, who
wore loud clothes, costly jewelry and
a blazing diamond. Ue was an Irish
man and a jolly sort .of chap, but with
a very dense" intellect. . Like many
others of his kind, he was fond of big
words, and affected always the lan
guage of culture without knowing its
use or its meaning. One time the sen
ator came down to New York with
some committee or other and stayed at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Everything
was new to him. He stared about a
good deal, but was too shrewd not to
attempt to conceal his curiosity. One
morning the senator was missed. He
had been seen but a moment before.
So it was not thought that he had left
the hotel. Search was made every
where, but without success. Finally
one of the committee found the sena
tor on the top floor of the hotel wan
dering aimlessly- about. 'Why, Mor
rissey. what in the world are you doing
awaj" up here,' exclaimed his friend.
The senator drew himself- up with a
'What's-that-to-you air.1 and after a
pause said with dignity,. 'Sure I've been
spending an hour in these cusp'udois,
wandering pro and con!"r
'fAnd," continued Mr.' Wolcott, "as
wondered 'pro and con' through the
'cuspudors' of the Auditorium I thought
of poor Morrissey and what a treat it
would have been to hiin to take the
same journey. Chicago Herald.
Savca liy the Governor.
In one of the Indiana prisons is a
convict who is serving a life sentence
i for the commission of one of the most
I horrible of crimes, says the Indianapo
lis Aeias. It has been said that no
man is so bad that he has not friends.
The friends of this man from the be
ginning of his sentence have never
ceased to work for his pardon. Influ
ential citizens and public officials have
been induced to write personal letters
to all the governors who have held
office since the term of confinement be
gan. Petition after petition has been
prepared and hundreds of signatures
secured.
It is related that at one time a gov
ernor was almost persuaded to pardon
the man. The sentiment in his fovor
seemed fairly overwhelming. As a last
precaution he sent for his private sec
retary to talk over the whole case with
the prisoner himself. The prisoner told
his story forcibly, but so glibly as to
indicate that he had carefully prepared
it ami committed it to memory. As
his recital closed he drew a photograph
of a beautiful young woman from his
pocket.
" "The first thing I shall do when I am
released will be to marry this girl," he
said. - .' '
"Who is she?" asked the visitor.
"She is Miss M ," he replied,
"and is the daughter of one of the rich
est and prondeot families in the city of
. She will hiarry ine the minute I
am set free." :'
"How do you happen to know her?"
"Oh, that's all right. She visited
the prison one time and I got acquaint
ed with her. She fell in love with me
at iirst sight. Don't worry about me.
I'm solid with her."
The secretary looked at the Dhoto-
graph again. The face shown there was
uehcate and reuued, and every line in
dicated the confiding trustfulness of
innoceut girlhood. He looked at the
prisoner. Evil and sin was stamped
upon every feature. When the secre
tary made report to the governor he
told the story of the photograph.- The
chief executive pondered over it awhile,
then, bringing his list down upon the
desk with a force that set all its light
furniture to rattling, he said:
"The photograph settles it. That
sweet girl and the happiness of her
home and friends must not be subject
ed to ruin and misery by any act of
mine. The prisoner must serve his
time."
A New Jersey Accommodation Train.
The days of old in which knights
were bold have passed, but fortunately
the successors to some of these old ,
coves are occasionally to be met with, !
even in t ,se degenerate times, borne
little tiir since a pretty little German
town girl sat in a bob-tail car, and op
posite her was a young man who made
many apparent attempts to begin a
flirtation. Next to the young lady was
an awkward looking youth, brawny
and tall, who evidently lived on a farm
in New Jersey. He observed the og
ling of the man across the car for some
minutes, while hi3 face assumed an ex
pression of great disgust. Turning to
the young lady he stammered:
"Don't you want that fule to stop?"
The young lady said she did. The
Jerseyman arose, and without further
ado grasped the flirtatious youth by the
neck with one hand, yankad the bell
strap with the other, opened the door,
jammed the prisoner through it, and
as he went out administered a parting
kick. Then the farmer sat down again
by the young lady, murmuring:
"S-s-s-sorry I d-d-didn't her a c-cage
'n' a chain I'd eer liked ter t-t-t-take
it h-home fer a p-pet. Philadelphia

Horticulturists. On July 7,
8 and 9 there will be jTi5eeflng.of
ho little importance t$ bqocal
horticulturists and no legs to our
average citizen who lakes pride in
our city's growth and that $f the
country. The State Hortiouftgjral
Society and the State Board of
Horticulture will for the first time
hold meetings outside of Portlapd.
No little responsibility lests with
our people in regard to this mat
ter. It behooves us to make an
effort to entertain the members
and friends of these organizations
in a manner that shall be highly
creditable to our community.
Though horticulture in its various
phases is not a strong feature fo
our industries locally, "it is one
that is worthy of more and better
attention than we are giving it.
This coming meeting will be at
tended by live horticulturists from
all parts of the state, and the
questions diycussed ' will be such
as are of present interest to all
persons growing fruit. That the
attendance from a distance will be
good there is no doubt. Now, if
our people will just turn out and
give the speakers and visitors a
generous reception all will carry
away with them a favorable im
pression of our ci'y and vicinity
that may be of no small sig
nificance in our future welfare.

ly disease (psoriasis) Hist broke out on
my Irft cheek, spreading across my nose,
and almost covering my face. It ran into
my eyes, and the physician was afraid I
would lose my eyesight altogether. It
spread all over my head, aud mv hair ail
f:ll out, until I was entirely bald-headed;
it then broke out on my arms and shoulders,
until my arms were just one sore. It cov
ered my entire body, my fac head and
shoulders being the worst. The white scabs
fell constantly from my head shoulders, and
arm; the skin would th.cken aud be red
and very itchy, and would crack and bleed
if scratched. After spending many hun
dreds of dollars, L was pronounced incur
able. I heard of the Cuticura Kbmbdies,
and aftf-r using two bottles Ccticcka liK
solvent, I could see a change; aud after I
hail taken four bottles, I was almost cured;
and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura
Kksolvent and one box of Cuticura,' and
on cake of Cuticura Soap, I was cored
of the dreadful disease from, which I had
suffered for five years. I thought the, dis
ease would leave a very deep scar, but the
Uutiouka Kkmedies cured it without auy
scars. I cannot express with a pen what I
suffered before using the Cuticura Remr

duty to recommend them. My hair is re
