A Faithful Animal That Committed
Suicide “Then Neglected.
“Speaking of the grief that some
horses will- exhibit when left in a
strange place and neglected for a short
time by their masters,” said an old
miner, “I recall seeing a horse deliber-
ately commit suicide in three feet of
water because he had been deserted
for three days.
“The ’horse was owned by a man
named Jim Kelly,a well known pros-
peCtor, who in July 1897, came into
Grand Forks, B. 0., after an absence
in the mountains of several weeks.
The animal was nothing but a com-
mon cayuse, on which Kelly sometimes
rode and sometimes packed his out-
fit when the trails were steep and
difficult. Naturally, the man and horse
became attached to each other by their
close companionship and the little
marks of kindness shown in thei1 lone-
ly camps, when Kelly would pet the
tired cayuee and perhaps give him a
handful of sugar before be fed him
for the night. It was remarked by
those who met them that the cayuse
showed an uncommon attachment for
Kelly.
“Well 011‘ airiving in town Jim stak-
ed out his horse and betook himself
to the Cosmos Hotel and proceeded to
sample all kinds of liquor, prolonging
his spree until Sunday afternoon. All
day Friday, and during Friday night
and until late Saturday afternoon the
cayuse waited, whinnying when any-
one approached, but viciously resented
any attempts to feed him. About sun-
set Saturday, his master not returning,
the horse strained at his picket rope
until he finally succeeded in pulling
the picket pin, and, trailing the rope
behind him, he trotted up to the Cos-
mos, keeping up a prolonged whinny.
He walked 'up the steps and peered
anxiously through the windows in
search of his master. For fifteen or
twenty minutes he walked up and
down the porch, whinnying as though
in great pain. Then, after a long look
into the windows, he left the porch,
and with head hanging near the
ground, he walked into a stream ofl
water about three feet deep, lay down '
on his side and buried his head under
the water.
“The act was witnessed by me and
by a number of others who were at-
tracted by the horse’s strange conduct.
We followed him down to the creek.
There is no doubt he deliberately com-
mitted suicide. When Kelly came off
his spree on Sunday and learned of
the"cayuse’s death he secured as-
sistance and buried the faithful ani-
mal.”—VVashington Star.
AN AG
Ducky, Owned by the Princess of_Walos, i
Was Over 125 Years Old. l
One of the longest lived birds onIrec- ,
0rd Idied recently in London. It was a .
parrot named Ducky, the property of,
the Prince of “Tales, and its age was
put at more than 125 years. Ducky
was a native of the United States ot'i
Colombia, whence he was transported-
to England in 1783, and bought by}
Prime Ministe‘l‘ Pitt, who, In 1800, pre-,
sented him to his master, George III.
From this d 'te on the bird was recog-
nized as part of the royal household,‘
with quarters at St. James. Ducky.
however, developed amazing conver-
sational powers, unaccompanied with
the proper leaven of discretion, and in =
1850 he was sentenced to banishment
from St. James on the charge, it is
said, of divulging family secrets. In :
his new dwelling place, Windsor Gas-l
tle, Ducky acduired even worse habits. I
Windsor accommodates a Small garri-§
son, and the parrot was quick to ae-E
quire the vernacular of Tommy At-
kins. The result was considered un-
suitable to the well-known decorum of
the British cou1t, and sentence of!
banishment to Australia was passed'
on the offender. The amiable Princess 1
of \Vales, however, came to the 1escue,
and Ducky was removed to Sandring—'
ham, where he remained until the day
of his death. Great age though it be, i.
125 years is not considered by scion-g
tific men as the absolute age limit of.
a parrot. So relialble an observer as
Humboldt. whose statement .in this;
manner is accepted without question:
by Darwin, tells of a parrot that musté
have lived 200 yars. The naturalist;
came across the bird in South America. I
and his reasons for crediting it with
such extraordinary longevity were
that he heard it use some words of 1
a. language spoken only by a tribe ofj
Indians which have been extinct more i
than 200 years—New York Sun. 1

The university of Michigan possesses
an architectural curiosity in the shape
of a whispering gallery. It is not so
well known as that in the Capital at
Washington, but it is one of the largest
and most perfect in the world. Its
length is perhaps greater than any
other.
The gallery of‘Gloucesler Cathedral

COL. HAY’S LAWSUI l’.
chzenary of State Fighting
A [unit L ck" * unapec.
John H:1y..the new Secretary
State. is the leadiugplnintil’f in an im-
portant case. the facts in which are
now being ascertained by a referee ap-
pointed by the New Hampshire Su-
preme Court. -
Legallyassociated with Mr. Hay
are Professors John D. Quackenbush
and \Villiam A. Dunning, of New
York. Colonel W. S. B. Hopkins of
Worcester. Mass. and others.
These gentlemen have built summer
homes on the shores of Lake Sunapee,
the most beautiful jewel in New
Hampshire’s girdle of lacustrine gems.
So far as variety of scenery,’vigor of
climate and ease of access are con-
cerued. this lake is an ideal summer
resort and e‘ve1y succeeding year finds
its charms more widely known and
mo1e warmly praised.
But for land owners upon its shores
there is one black cloud in Sunapec’s
blue sky. By an old grant of the New
The 1*. re“
Hampshire Legislature a corporation.
known as the Sunapee Dam Co. was
given power to regulate the flow of
the lake through its principal outlet,
Sugar River. This stream furnishes
water power for several large manu-
factories and the Sunapee Dam Com-
pany keeps the water in the lake at a
convenient height for that purpose.
The result is that the summer resi-
dents, whose boathouses, wharves and
grounds line the lake s’nore, find their
property submerged for a part of the
time, and. again, separated from the
water’s edge by a stretch of unsightly
beach.
In fact, the corporation has caused
so much complaint that the inhabit-
ants around the lake frequently trans-
pose the first two words of the com-
pany’s title, in referring to it. ,
Other means of redressing their
grieances having been tried and found
wanting, the summer residents decid-
ed to take their case into court. Its
decision will establish an important
legal principle as to the riparian rights
throughout New Hampshire. and per-
haps in other states as well.
The distinguished gentlemen named
as plaintifis think they have invested
sufficient money on the shores of this
New Hampshire lake to be justified in
expecting to draw dividends of undis
turbed enjoyment.
Secretary Hay’s villa is commodious.
comfortable and suited to its sur-
roundings, though it would not look
out of place if transported to Newport
or Bar Harbor. Twenty-five miles
across the Country, at Holderness, is
the summer home of John G. Nicolay.
who was Colonel Hay’s co-wcrker on
the monumental life of Lincoln.
A little colony of musical, literary
and theatrical personuges make Suna-
pee their home of a summer season.
It has had. however, no Whittier to
sing its charms and no persistent rail-
road advertising to bring it into na-
tional notice and popularity. In the
' minds of Col. Hay and his companion
plaintiffs. this freedom from publicity
is one of the lake’s chief charms.
I'I‘ry It and See.
A man in a light check suit stopped
- at the corner and looked intently up-
ward.
His gaze appeared to be directed at
the roof of a tall building directly op-
posite.
Two men stopped and began to look
in the same direction.
A moment later several others join-
ed them.
Business men hurrying along the
road on the way to their omces were
seized with like curiosity, and stopped
short to gaze with the others.
“What’s the matter?"
“What is it?"
“What’s the excitement?"
These questions flew from lip to lip,
but nobody seemed able to answer.
“Move on, there! ” exclaimed a. police-
man. “What are you blocking up the
road for?” -
But the crowd was too big to be
dispersed by a single policeman.
“I say,” asked the ofiicer, forcing his
way, to the centre of. the throng, and
grabbing the man in the light check
suit, “what are you all looking at?"
“I’m not looking at anything,” re-
plied the other, without lowering his
“I’ve a. stifl neck, and I al-
ways carry my head this way. I stop-
I don’t know
what these chumps are doing here.”
And the crowd melted silently away.
Battleships and Cruisers.
“There are not many men. outside the
Navy who thoroughly understand the
difference between a. ‘battleship’ and
'a ‘cruiser,’ " said a. naval captain to
the writer. .
“The battleship is a fighting ma-
chine mu‘e and simple. and speed and
coaI- -carrying capacity— are sacrinced to
guns and armour. Una-malt of the
weight of the average battleship con-
sists of the ship herself three- tenths
of armour and guns, and only two-
tenths of engines and coal. She can
steam, without re-coaling. an average
distance of 7,000. miles.
“The cruiser is built on quite differ-
ent lines. Fully half her entire weight
is made up of propelling machinery
and coal; her average rate of steaming
is about twenty knots- an hour, and she
can if necessary steam round the
-wmumalfifgfm .
“The average battleship in the pres-
ent war is roughly 350ft. long, 70ft.
wide, and 43ft. deep. She weighs 11,-
000 tons, carries about forty-five guns,
ranging from the 13in. gun, with its
projectile weighing half a ton, to the
Gatling, with its tiny bullets, three of
which barely weigh an ounce. She car-
ries steel armour varying from fin. to
mm. in thickness, has a. crew of 500
men, and can steam fifteen knots an
hour.’ ._.

THE EVENT
Ju'ipt the Same “Old" Woman.
“One hears a. good deal about the
new woman,” said a Washington We-
man who has had long and
varied social experience in Eng-
land and America, “but it
seems to me that the women I meet to—
day are very much like the women I
knew fifty years ago. There may be
more who are highly educated, or self-
supporting; but. the well-bred Woman
doesn’t talk entomology or Greek roots
or shop in society, and I can’t tell a
pretty girl who knows about bugs
from the one who doesn’t.
“But I do notice in society one Sign

a girl the half hour or whole hour ali-
ter dinner was the abomination of des—
olation. The men stayed with their
wines and cigars. The women ad-
journed to the drawing rooms and
manifestly did penance for their sins.
Some of them tried to be amiable and
kept up an invertebrate conversation.
Some were openly, frankly bored, and
the advent of the men was hailed with
undisguised joy and relief. Now
things are altogether different in this
day and generation. To be sure, the
men often leave the table with the
women, but even when they don’t
there is no dull hour for the women.
Women are more interested in each
other than they used to be, or else they
are more interested in themselves.
Whichever it is, the result is the same
I—increased animation and fluent con-
versation. ‘Nhen a number of women
'are together nowadays they seem to_
have a most hilarious time, and Con-
versation never flags for a moment. I
suppose it is because there are more
interests in the lives of women than
there were in the old days. One
doesn’t need to talk jam or servants or
children or clothes——though those sta-
ple 'topics are still hard worked, I no-

.12. A NOBLE CHARITY. '
Sisters Who Attend to the (‘1 we ofa House
as W1 ll 35 Nurse the Sick.
An order of sisters has been estab
lished in New York, whOse work im-I
presses one at first sight as being the
r1-11~..-st charity. It is called the Little
SistErs of the Assumption, instituted
driginally in England, and its object is
to cure for the sick poor in their
homes. The sisters work not only as
muses in the limited sense of the
word, devoting themselves exclusively
to the sick room, but more especially
loo-kin: after the care of the house
and the needs of the little children in
the case, for instance, when a mother
is obliged to star in bed and leave
everything to the working husband
and the three or four little ones who
may be about. The sisters go early in
the morning to such a. home, and. after
giving the sick one whatever care and
medicine she needs. they put the house
in order, wash and dress the children
if necessary, cook for them and for
the mother, stay as nurses through the
dav when they are needed, and be
fore they go they have the father’s
dinner or supper cooked} and ready
for :him, put the children to bed and
arrange everything for the sick
mother during the night. The
novices, besides being trained as
competent home, nurses, are thor-
OIIthy taught every detail of house-
work, and as their services are free to
all who. need them, they must be a real
blessing to the afflicted poor, for whom
sickness is a dreadful thing, not only
in itself, but even more, perhaps, on
account of the absolute neglect of the
necessary duties of decent living that
.t generally involves. The Sisters are
supported by voluntary contributions.
and these they are not permitted to
receive individually, but the offerings
must be presented at the convent as a
free gift. Many of those whom they
care for give whatever small sum
they are able to :n’gratitude for their
services, but it is wholly unlocked for,
and is a matter always of their own
personal feeling of indebtedness. The
support of the order must depend
naturally on the charitably disposed
among those who are blessed with
this world’s goods, but undoubtedly
manv of these, to whom the care of
the sick poor has been a very real and
heartbreakigg problem, are glad to en-
trust their means to these good Sis-J
tors. who have solved it so well.—-St.
