PROTECTING THE HORSE.
The Method In Vogue In Kansas In the
Early Days.
“If one will stop to consider, ” said
Henry J. Crocker, “it will be recall
ed that the horse lias always been
accorded more protection than any
other animal known in the history
of America. A person who stole a
horse in early days was hanged for
it, as his value to civilization was
above price.
“I think the funniest story I evor
heard touching on the liorso was told
me by an old minister who went out
on the plains of Nebraska to estab
lish a few missions among tlio In
diana tmd settlers. It appears that
after he had been in tho state a few
weeks he was waited upon by a long,
gaunt fellow who wanted to know if
the gospel leader wanted to join tho
Brownsville Horse Thief club. He
was a little surprised at the sugges
tion at first, but upon being informed
that the objects of tho club were not
exactly wliat tho title suggested and
that it Was an organization for the
purpose of protecting members’
horses from thieves concluded to join
and put up his §5 admission fco. In
a few days he received a notification
that there would be a meeting of the
club at a place named and that his
presence was wanted.
“He was on hand, and as he was
the last one to enter the door was
closed behind him and locked. The
president of the club banged his fist
on the desk and rising said:‘Mem
bers of tho Horse Thief club, Si Bar
ton’s brown mare has been stolen. I
hereby appoint Jack Thomas and
Jim Bowers to go on tho trail and
report next Saturday. Tho meeting
is hereby adjourned.’
“With as little ceremony as it was
opened the meeting broke up and the
members departed without further
comment. Tho minister was prone
to make inquiries regarding tho
method of dealing with tho issue be
fore the house, but received no sat
isfactory information. On tho morn
ing of the following Saturday ho
was notified to bo present, again and
complied. Arriving at the meeting
place he found the same men tbero
again. Jack Thomas and Jim Bowers
were there also, having come back
tho night before. Again the presi
dent put his fist on tho table with a
bang and called the meeting to order
with ‘We are now ready to hear tho
report of the committee of two.’
Bowers got up, throw a cud of to
bacco behind him and answered, ‘Wo
mot tho horse thieves two miles this
side of the Kansas linn, all of which
is respectively submitted ' ‘Tho
meeting is adjourned,’ howled tho
president with another smash at the
desk, and the members filed out per
fectly contented.
“The minister tbis time was thun
derstruck. ‘Did Mr. Barton get liis
horse back?’ lio asked.
“ ‘Certainly,’ responded a big fel
low.
“ ‘Well, what did they do with tho
thioves?’
“ ‘Nothin.’
“ ‘Can it he possible that they will
not he brought to justice?’
“ ‘Oh, that’ll he all right, parson.’
“‘Well, what did tho committee
of two do after they came up with
tho offenders?’
J" ‘Left ’em where they fell, for
tho coyotes.’
“This, gentlemen,” concluded Mr.
Crocker, “shows how tho horse used
to stand in early days.”—Now York
Tribune.
The Dancing Chancellor.
In Queen Bess’ time Sir Christo
pher Hatton won bis way to the lord
chancellorship by bis ability or agil
ity in terpsichorean lines. He first
attracted the notice of Queen Eliza
beth by his graceful dancing in a
masque at court. Ho henceforth be
came a reigning favorite, and bis
promotion was rapid.
Ho was successively made a gen
tleman of tho queen’s privy cham
ber, captain of the board of gentle
men pensioners (the bodyguard),
vice chamberlain and a member of
tho privy council. This delight of
tho queen to honor him caused much
envy. Complaints wero uttered that,
under the existing government,noth,
ing could he obtained by any others
tlis~ “dancers and carpet knights,
such as tho Earl of Lincoln and Mas
ter Hatton.” On tho death of Lord
Chancellor Bromley, tho queen offer
ed Hatton the great seal. Even while
chancellor, Sir Christopher exhibit
ed his skill in dancing. Attending
tho marriage of his nephew and heir
with a judge’s daughter, he was
decked, according to tho custom of
the ago, in his official robes, and
when the music struck up he doffed
them, threw them down on tho floor,
and saying, “Lie there, Mr. Chan
cellor!” danced tho measures of the
nuptial festivity.—Buffalo Times.

I SECOND STORY ADVERTISING.
Value of Upper Windows For Catcliirc
the Eyes of the Passing Crowds.
There is a man in this town who
has probably devised more advertis
ing schemes than any other Now
Yorker who is not a theatrical press
agent, and he has never been known
to uso another man’s idea hut oneo.
The one scheme that was not his
own is tho second story show win
dow, hut when he wont into that
sort of advertising he did it on such
a scalo that, although ho is out of it
now, the results of his short experi
| ence a're seen all over the town.
The second story window as a
means of advertising is used in a
variety of ways, tho most common
being for some sort of exhibition of
athletic or sporting goods. It is the
outgrowth, without doubt, of the
custom of putting cigar and ciga
rette makers, candy pullers and pan
cake bakers in tho front windows of
ground floor shops to attract tho at
tention of passersby.
If such schemes worked well for
the side of the street nearest the
shop, tho second story ought to at
tract thp notice of those across tho
street. If you have ever seen such
a show, you must have noticed how
well it worked. The crowd is never
: jammed up against tho window, ob
structing the street in front of tho
j store.
Tho sporting goods men are able
i to make more of the second story
show window than men in other
• business becauso their advertising
\ arrangements are not studies in still
life. A man or hoy working a chest
weight or a rowing machine or
punching a bag will attract atten
tion much quicker and hold it much
1 longer than a stream of water pass
ing over a water wheel and running
\ through a filter. A good many men
uso tho second story window for dis
play of their goods, particularly
along tho lines of the elevated roads,
i but such displays cannot compare in
j success with the schemes of adver
tisers who employ men in their
■ shows. It is the action which catches
! the eye and attracts attention. In
lower Fifth avenue there is a very
j elaborate , display of old furniture
and antiques in a second story win
dow, but you may stand in front of
that store all day and not see a doz
en persons stop to look at the exhi
bition. Put a man in that window,
; however, and set him to punching a
j hag, and there will ho a crowd across
! tho street which will require tho at
tention of the police.
In Broadway, a few blocks below
: -Thirtieth street-, there is one of these
exhibitions of athletic: goods in the
second story. A muscular, well built
j man in a gymnasium suit punches
a hag, works chest weights and tries
a rowing machine. Tho result is
! that the afternoon promenade is
! seriously interrupted. A sporting
goods house in Broadway, opposite
! where the Halo statue now stands
in fe'ity Hall park, used to have a
i man stand in tho window and punch
a hag just at the time when tho
! crowds wero passing through the
park going homo.
It always kept a park policeman
i busy moving on those who stopped
Ito see the show. The master advor
■ tiser’s show was located in Broad
! way; opposite an up town hotel. Ho
j employed two girls, who used to
i climb up on a platform just the
height of tho window, and exerciso
with eliest weights. They wore short
skirts and jerseys. They took turns
at tho work, alternating with a very
j fat little hoy and a very athletio
! looking young man. This show al
ways collected a crowd in front of
tho hotel, but when tbero wore add
ed to tbe exhibition a piano player
and a man who sat in tho window
and caught tin fishes out of a pail,
| tho crowds got to bo such a nuisance
that tlio hotel men invoked tho city
ordinances which prescribe that such
shows are nuisances. ’I hen there was
a compromise, and tho show was
toned down.—New York Hun.
Where* Total Eclipses Are Rare.
1 It is a fact well known to astrono
-1 mors tliat the average number of
total and partial eclipses in any one
year is four; that the maximum is
seven and the minimum two. Where
j only two occur they are always both
l of tho sun. There are a great many
more eclipses of the sun in the
course of a year or 100 years than
there are of the moon; this fact
j notwithstanding, however, London,
; the metropolis of tho world, seems
I to ha a place where such obstruc
tions of tho sun’s light seldom oc
cur.—Ht. Louis Republic.
I-'ochpoohiiig Carlyle,
I never much liked Carlyle. Ha
seemed to me to be “carrying coals
j to Newcastle,” as our proverb says,
j preaching earnestness to a nation
i which had plenty of it by nature,
j but was less abundantly supplied by
nature with several other useful
things.—Matthew Arnold.
Ho Understood.

sabbath school teacher, “what, is
