Miss llintoii showed much concern. "What he tells you of hi class stand ing Is true," she said, "yet ho does not always seem wilfully Inattentive.

"I knew veil did in composition, and I beard you say. Study the next two page in grammar ' " The doctor, leaning toward Mr. Hamilton, pointed to the column of word down Klchard'a paper. "The order as dictated here rrotn the book, he explained, "was 'constrict, consist. uistiliige, constitute,' and he haa Just reversed their order here on his jn jmt.

COLORADO MOUNTAIN-SHEE Vanity' Penalty. In a well known New York hostelry there Is a certain eboii liuod waiter whoso favorite recreation In leisure hour consist of promenading the "Avenue," attired in as close an Imi tation f the prevailing fashion as hi means and state of enlightenment per mit. A cigar and a smart walking stick are Indispensable adjuncts of his street toilette. A guest of the hotel, having become possessed of a box of perhaps the most execrable cigar to which match was ever applied, bestowed them by way of a "tip" upon the delighted darky. A few day later. In response to the donor's friendly inquiry n to ,i.r Im,r.

"I consider," he says, "that blinders are dangerous things, especially 111 the night. We horses can see much better in the dark than man can, and many an accident would never have hap pened if horses might haveliad the full use of their eyes. I remember tliere was a carriage with two hoi-si's return lug one dark night, and Just by the road where the pond comes close the wheel went too near the edge and the carriage was overturned Into the water; lmtli horses were drowned and the driver hardly escaped. If these horses had not I partially blinded they would of themselves have kept farther from the edge and tin accident would have happened. When our master's carriage was overturned not long ago it was said that If the lamp on the left side had lint gone out the coachman would have seen the great hole the roadniak ers had left, and so ho might, but if old Colin had not had blinders on lie would have seen It. lamp or no lamp, for he was far too knowing an old horse to run into danger. As It was he was very much hurt, the carriage was broken and bow the coachman escaped nobody knows." The conversation that follow s taken from the book "Hlack Hcauty" ami the place Is n pasture, with the horses in conference: "Can anyone tell ine the use of blind ers V" askes Hlack Hcauty. "No," said Sir Oliver, the hunter. shortly, "because they have no Use," "They are supposed." said Justice, the cob, in bis calm way, "to prevent hm-scs from shying and starting and getting so frightened as to cause acci dents."
