I - Give The Horses Water. -
The city authorities continues to build
drinking fountains In different parts
of town, Places for watering horses
have been badly needed for a long time
The flow of the old fountains not being
sufficient for tbe demand npon them, be
sides they were often out of fix, and the
horses were many times compelled to go
without water.
r There were several cruelty to animals
cases before the last ; court, -charges for
overloading, overdriving and unmerci
fully beating, were made against persons
who were convicted : ani fined, which
was as It should be. -.. ...'
There are many ways to be cruel to an
animal but to let a tired, hot, thirsty
horse go without water is about the
worst punishment of all, the horse being
dumb, no one knows or can see what
agony he Is enduring. ;--:
It is to bo hoped . that the work on
these watering places will be pushed
along as fast as posslblo in order that
there may be plenty of water for horses
during the summer months. ,

I Samdar Golfers Asltatea.
I A .very serious question is disturbing
the'congresslonal golf contingent who
'follow the little white ball on Sunday.
I Senator Dillingham and Representa
tive Allen have introduced la the sen
jate and house respectively a bill which
J designed, as its title indicates, to
'protect the first day of the week. It
'is very drastic measure, forbidding
jthe sale of anything on Sunday except
obacco, cigars, newspapers, drags and
cofflns and making It unlawful to work
.on building or
railroad construction.
so that If a railroad track should be
damaged by a wreck it could not be re
paired. But the clause that interests
the golf players is as follows
"Nor shall any public playing of foot
ball or baseball or any other kind of
playing, sports, pastimes or diversions
disturbing the peace and quiet of tbe
day be practiced by any person or per
sons within the District of Columbia
on Sunday."
1 Quite a discussion was held in the
cloakroom of tbe house the other day
as to whether this language forbade
golf playing by individuals on private
club links on Sunday.
"Don't worry," said a certain west
ern member who plays golf on Sunday
'as he Joined the conference; "the bill
will never pass."
The Memorial Bridge
The special committee of the depart
ment of the Potomac, G. A. R., is mak
ing another bard effort to secure tbe
initial steps to the erection of a memo
rial bridge. The committee, composed
of Thomas S. Hopkins, John McElroy
and B. F. Bingham, the commander of
the department, called on the president
to again urge his good offices and aid
in getting congress to make an appro
priation to provide for tbe laying of
the cornerstone of the proposed bridge
during the national encampment of the
G. A. R. in October. It is earnestly
moped that congress can be Induced to
take this step. Tbe president is deeply
Interested and will give whatever aid
ibe can. Mr. Hopkins and tbe members
the committee urged the president
,to send a special message to congress
asking an appropriation for the first
work toward the bridge.
The president may not do this, as be
.dislikes to establish a precedent of
this kind, but he did not decline to do
so ana is going to give toe request con
'slderatlon. It is felt that a special mes
sage would awaken congress and result
in some action being taken. The presi
dent will probably talk to some Influen
tial senators and representatives about
tbe proposed bridge. ;
Mercer'e Omnibne Bill,
Representative Mercer, who success
fully piloted the omnibus public build
ing bill through tbe house, says that
the measure was tbe first one of Its
kind ever passed.
"I fonnd a precedent," said Mr. Mer
cer, "away back in the year one, when
an omnibus lighthouse bill was passed,
but the effort to pass an omnibus pub
lic building bill was never tried before.
The success of the experiment proved
Its wisdom. Tbe last time we under-
Itook to provide for public buildings we
iwere at work for four days in the
'house and appropriated 119,000,000.
iThls time we only appropriated $17,-
,000,000 and got the bill through in
three hours. When you remember the
total amount for public buildings sug
gested In tbe bills Introduced aggregate
;ed $07,000,000, 1 think the country will
'appreciate tbe care as well as tbe skill
we had to exercise in order to secure
la measure that would command the ap-
(proval of the house."
I : . The Senate Doctor,
j Representative Gaines of Tennessee
'once studied medicine. In fact, he
'graduated in that profession ten years

but drifted to tbe practice of law. and

Benate Dr. Galllnger is tbe best known

On more than one occasion Dr. Gallia
leer's servicer have been required in

been suddenly taken ill. Indeed, It was

ture drugstore was established In the
office of tbe sergeant at arms. There

SAVED FROM MURDER

QSA.CtIfelt my arm grasped spas
modically and, turning round to my
companion. Earl Hannathon, from
(whom the grasp proceeded, saw with
surprise that a dark, angry flush was
growing npon his forehead, while hit
usually calm eyes Were lurid snd blood
shot . . .
"Let us go home," be said hurriedly.
"Let us go home st once, Arthur.". And
as' he spoke be arose from bis seat
Seeing that he waa in no mood to beai
questioning, I followed him In silence,
and In a few minutes afterward we
.were In our cab, being driven rapidly
toward the Astor House.
It required bnt few words to explain
tbe cause of his sudden emotion.
"She was in tbe house," he said, in
the parquet seats, with Delavau beside
her."
I had been Hannatbon'a groomsman
on the occasion of his ill fated mar
riage. Never did wedding bells chime
for a nobler . bridegroom, a lovelier
bride. He was tall and dark, like a
young Spanish hidalgo, and she, small
and exquisitely beautiful, fa peerless
English, alrL with , a face . that came
bearer to my.conceptioiCof Jan: angel's
Pian anything which I had ever before
eerr In nature. .
It Is not my. intention, to dwell, upon
the painful and disgraceful details pre
ceding and. attending' the divorcement,
svhlch took place ' in . less 3 than four
years arter tne marriage. Bumce icj to
eaythat ln.Martin)Delavau,ianfold
and trusted friend,'' Earlt Hannathon
found the destroyer of his honor and
happiness.
A .-duel took place between them.
Earl escaped unhurt, but Delavauire-
Ceived a wound .whlcbwas-thoughtat
first to be mortal. Ha.recoverecubow:
ever, and in a short time 'afterthe
granting of the divorce tookhlmself
off to parts unknown, accompanledfby
the partner of his Infamy. When -In
formed of this flight, Earl was heard
to say:
"I should have shot him down with
out mercy and thus have saved her
from further sin. Well, well, he, has
escaped me once. Let him ever cross
my path, and I will write myself mur
derer in his blood."
These words recurred to me as I wit
nessed the smothered yet terrible wratb
with which he spoke of his wife's and
Delnvau's presence in the theater.
foreboded evil, and ere I went to rest
that night my mind was fully made up
to rise early upon the following morn
ing, seek Delavau and warn him to
leave the city. This I should do not
from any kindly consideration toward
the villain or his paramour, but to
save my friend from the commission of
crime.
Until tbe clock struck 12 Hannathon
walked the floor of our room, never
once looking toward me, but talking
aloud in one long, passionate strain.
He talked on until midnight, when I
succeeded In persuading him to seek
his couch. At 1 o'clock he had fallen
into a troubled slumber, and my last
remembrance as I, too, fell asleep was
that of hearing him muttering his dis
honored wife's name, coupled fiercely
With that of his false friend.
He had -made no threats respecting
Delavau, but I felt assured that he
would do him harm, and so my afore
said resolution was carried into effect
upon the ensuing morning.
I found Delavau, as I had anticipat
ed, i informed him of his danger in. a
few, brief, cutting words and advised
him to leave as speedily as possible,
which he assured me, with an attempt
at thanks, that he would do at once.
An unforeseen circumstance delayed
my return to the Astor until 11 o'clock.
I had left It at 0. I found that Earl
had Just risen and was making a hasty
toilet
His revolver lay upon the bureau,
took It In my hands.
"It is loaded," he sold, with a strange
smile. ' a- t
"When did you load it?" I asked.
"A few minutes ago."
X did not ask for whom he had; in
tended its contents. I knew thatHuil
well. .
"Earl," said I, looking him steadily
in the eyes, "you may be angry with
me now, but at some future day you
will thank me for What I have done. I
have seen Delavau and warned; him.
He is by this time many miles away,
from New York. : u
'A storm of curses burst from his lips,
but at 12 o'clock ho had cooled down
sufficiently to eat bis late breakfast
with satisfaction and appetite.
It la worthy of note that upon the
evening of this day he was presented
to the young girl who eventually t be
came his wife, brightening his shadow
ed heart with tbe gladness of a second
love. " - - " ' -
Thus my ruse had a double success
that of preventing a murder and being
Instrumental In securing Earl's lifelong
happiness. - J.' ' ' 1 ' '-
His gratitude to me is boundless. His
firstborn bears my name, and my place
at his table Is always that of the hon
pred guest
Nearly a year ago I pointed out to
him the notice of his first wife's death
In one of the great western cities. : - ..;
i His eyes grew filmy as he muttered: .
, "It Is better so, better so. God have
mercy upon her soul I"

school, and, dear me, how fond be war
of his pretty, short teacher I I expect
that waa because she gave him short
lessons and held only short sessions ol
school.
"Shorty liked short things you see
It ran in the Short family unless It
was something to eat He didn't llkf
short pieces of shortcake. He wat
very fond of shortcake. Sometimes ht
couldn't tell which be liked best that
or bis pretty, short teacher.
"One day, a short time' after thli
short story opens, something happen
ed. Little Shorty missed a word in hit
spelling class. He couldn't spell short
All tbe other short boys laughed, but
Shorty erled.
" 'You must stay In at recess, I an
afraid,' tbe teacher said shortly. 'Short
boys must study their lessons. There ii
no short cut to knowledge.'
"Foor little Shorty! He was short
stop on the baseball nine, and the;
were short of substitutes. What would
they do without him? There was i
short shower, and then shortly It clear
ed off.

to spell short. I guess that's the short
est way out' And it was. So thi
trouble was short lived, for Shorty wai
not short wltted. That waa not ont
of his shortcomings. In short he conk
spell even a short word if he set aboul

Boy of All's bat It takes a boy (wh
Is not short winded to play baseball
you know, and Shorty could run as eaa
lly as a deer. But he was shortsighted
That was a drawback.
"When Shorty got home from schoot
that night Grandmother Short wai
Just shortening a batch of doughnuts
and Mamma Short was giving Big Sis
ter Short her lesson In shorthand
There w,as nobody to amuse him, so ht
decided to go up stairs and . amuse tht
Short baby. He sang a short -metei
hymn and danced a short .walBtedUrai
dolly In short dresses up and down and
round about until somebody either ht
or the Short baby or the short watstefj
dolly was short of breath. And thai
is tbe end of my short story," said Un
cle Vance.
The children clapped their handl
with-delight The -oldest child saldVil
was a splendid "short story." -
"Yes," the tiniest one said gravely,
"and then it was such a nice long ont
