in. order t to ' illustrate ; the horrors of
drinking, told his audience a story of a
wooden legged. toi)er who was so drunk
one night that he took off ' his wooden
leg to wind the clodr. The story;vas
told in all simplicity by the lecturer
as he had heard it in his childhood.
Strange to say, it applied exactly to the
husband of a lady who happened to be
one of the audience.. After the lecture
the lady waited on the lecturer behind
the hall.

Cavalry Horses In Demand.
The government purchasing agents
are having . a hard time of it to obtain
suitable horses for the cavalry service,"
said Mr.-D. W." Ivins of Montana at the
Wellington.
Thoroughbreds are not exactly what
are wanted, for they are not Btuted to
cavalry needs. They have generally been
spoiled, by having been trained f oif the
race track and are" more or less vicious.
The bronchos, which abound, are not
the thing either for mounted service.
What the government desires, but' finds
hard to get, are good, strong beasts,
capable of walking five miles an hour or
trotting seven for hours at a time. A
cavalry horse usually carries a load of
250 pounds, and it takes a stanch horse
to stand up to that "sveisht for a long
march. " Washington Post.
