The "keep moving" rule Is not always strictly enforced,  howeyer,  so an   IngrnlouB   merchant  who  keeps  a fiiilt emporium on a prominent corner, has trained a horse to do police duty and at the same time keep rivals from Netting  up  In   uusinpss  In   hia  Imme- iliiifp    neighborhood.    Pedeetrlans    on the street  who heard    the    command '•Sic   em. Bill I"  naturally expected to see a   dog respond.    Oreat waa  their surprise,   therefore, when  they beheld a horae prancing along the curb.    He wa^ nosing at a banana vender, who was  ex'itedly  trying    to   get  out  of harms  viay—and  he kept on until  a I haff ilistnnce lay between bimaelf and th"  Juniplng-Jack  equine.    The  horse I thr'u    eturned to his post in front of j till' slore nud waited for other Inter- lorere.    It la an advantaxeous corner \ and many hiirkBt«n try to do business ; til. re.    The home, which draws a de- 1. I'M ry wagon during the day.  is sta- ' Ifoni'd at the curb on busy nights, and I tho moment a vender's cart appears In j  tli;lil. the e<|ulne policeman is turned : l.'Che on the offender.

THE   LAUGH   CURE.
There are many modea nf ireatiiig
Sufferem from mankimt't ill: Some are bhttered. some are iilaslered,
.'^ntnu are loaded up with pills. Some take medicine that^s hqunl.
f^ome take medicine that'a dry. Some are rubbed, and some are knealcJ,
Some in certain way mutt he.
There are many modea of treatment Never know-n in daya 01 yorr.
And tbe number keepa on growin.i?. ^Doctora ever adding more
Kow we're hearing of another. One that's easy to cmljrc,
For no medicine is needed In what'a called Ihc laughing cure.
By this latcal plan the doctor
Must a merry lokcr li.'. And must try w-|ien in the sick-roam
To excite hilarity. He must tell a funiiv story,
Or in other waya neguile. Till Iherc cornea a peal of laughter
Or hc makea the patient smile.
He must to his stock keep ad.lint;
Every local gag and nun. So that while a call he a makinf;
There shall be unceasing fun. Should the patient get contrary.
And refuse to even glance. Then the doctor must be ready
With a little song and dance.
There may be exaggerniion
In the claim bo broadly made That thia lateat mode of trc^atmcnt
ThroWB all others in the shade: But 'tis certain there i.s virtue
In a pleasant little chaff. And n patient's feeling betler
When he'a joining in a laugh.

WF. had boon liillUug nbout the Rouenilly humdrum Utes led liy nine men out of tea. (ind the s.i.l-eyeil man who hnd hllherto kept silent snid n.s he Bellied Ini.k Inlu lil.s chair nnil put his feet ou Iho mil of the liutel piazza:
"From my birth to the rrcsent lime I have had but one thins happen lo nie that was in the smallest desree unusu¬ al, aud that related to my niarrinire, which wus a illlh.' out of the ordin¬ ary."
He spoke wllh a sleepy dinwl Ibnl piqued lurluslly, and I asked him to tell IIS wbut liiippened if It wuuldn'l Interfere with his nap. He smiled and yawned  nnd nnlil:
"t "was born and lirouRlit up In La¬ ramie. Wy.. and so was Arabclle. Ain- belle Is my wife. I had known her nil her life and had always loved her. anil she hnd dune the satne liy nie. and the course of our nCrci'iiuns iiiii ns sinoolh ns inullen nii'tal. In is.*.!' I decided lo iniirry her, nnd llie day was set for April 25. and we Invited all our friends nnd looked forward to a happy but commonplace wed.llup.
"Just one week before the ceremony 1 was called up to North Diikuta on a business lunlter which I did not think would detain me more than three or four days.
"Arabella tlld a Hltle weeping nn my shoulder, womanlike, and snid. "What If you never come back';' But I said. 'Now you know perfectly well that I always have tieen as icRulnr as cIockwor"k. It's only n few hnndred miles away, nnd 111 he hack and we'll he married exactly nt 4 oclock on April 'i'i. nnd It will be the lenst excit Ing yet happiest wedding that ever took place.'
"1 went up to Norlh Dakuin nnd the last ten miles uf my luiirney I had to make on foot. While 1 wns wnlkiiic along It beB.'in to snow, nnd Inside of en hour a Mlzznrd was rasing, and I hnd to put lu for Bhcller at the house of a lunu stranger named Smllhson. who kiudly gave me supper and told mc that it wonld lie suicidal for me to so nny farther; that a Dakota Iillz Knrd. the last oue of the season, but perhnps the worst, wns upnn up.
"'When can I retnrn'r' said I. He told me that If the bllzziiid was a real energetic one It woul.l lie two weeks before I saw hume nnd mamma. You may Imagine my feelings. Hundreds of miles from Arabella with less thnn a week Intervening hefore our mar rla.ge and no way of getting word to her! Of course she would think me faithless.
"I told the slrangrr my troubles, nnd be sympathized with mi', but snld that DO human lielng could live out In fliat atorm. nnd when 1 looked oul uf the window 1 lielleved hlin It wns lerrl Ille. I had been In the New Yurk blizzard of IRSK. and it was a sultry summer's dny lu tliis one.
"Tbere was uiitliing to du bul to prln and bear It. Maybe It wunld slop sooner thau my friend thuiiglii. He might be an niariuist, but il grew worse aud by n.xt iiiorning it n'lined to lie only Just beglnniug lu get In ;:s dne wurk. The nierciiry went su low thnt I'd hesitate Iu sny Jusl whnt Iho thermometer recorded fur fear uf be¬ ing couslder.'d nn iiaggeratur. The anow fell at tbe rale uf a fuul an Imur on the level The hunse wns soon covered up. nnd we would have smulli ered In time If my friend had nul hap¬ pened to have a lln veiiiiliitur thai ruu flfty feet up in Ihe air fur jnst sin b occnKions.
"Not to make n long story. It wjs flve days before the snuw stoppe.l and then we wore siiuwcd In tu Ibe depth cif flfty feel And we were duwn to our last loaf of bread. Hut ilie thing that worried tno most was tlie fait that 11 was my wedding day. I sat In Ihe pitch darkncBs. for onr oil bud given out. w.indcrlng what Ariibella wnuld do when I dldnl turn nji.

.Tohn works In the killing room of a big stuck yards flrm .Tuhn Is a horse, mnl In muny rispects he is n wonder¬ ful animnl. He bns tlie shnpely bead of a thorourhbred. nnd ns he walks about the steaming floor of a slaughter huuse does so with an air of Indldcr- eiice and pride Ihat Is quite human. The employes of Louis Ptaelzer sfc Sons, the concern which owns .Tolin. say he Is the most Intelligent horse lu the world, and tnke a genuine pride In the docile crenture. nlthough there Is no such thiug as familiarity per- inlued by .Tohn. ••Keep your distance," Is evidently .luhn's motto.
.T.ihn's principal occupation Is to drag the carcasses ot steers from tho striking pens to the slaughter hnuse floor, where the butchers hoist them preparatory to skinning nnd dressing them fur market. For this purpose John wears a light harness which Is attached by a hook to a rope passed nbout the dead steer's ueck. When the biilchers bave Hnlshed the dress¬ ing of nne cnrca.ss they will go to the "striking" pen. A. sliding trnp door thnt shuts these pens olT from the dressing room Is raised, nnd a rope Is pnssed nbout Ihe neck of the prostrate steer. Then It Is up to .luhn. who Is standing In his usual place nbout mld¬ wny of the big roum.
".lolui!' calls the bulcher Hespeaks In a conversational tone, nnd might be addressing one of his tellowlwork- inen
.lohn at once quits his post nnd walks up tu the mnn who has called him. He turns about so thnt the man oau fn en bis harness to the rop' about the steer's neck. No su.'i.er does .luhu bear the snnp f.f the catch than he starts forward as If he were going thmugh the opimslte wall. K'lt he does not. He stops abruptly. 1 id '• will be fonnd Unit he hns landed the sieer cx- aclly uuder the tackle by which the butchers suspend It for dressing opera¬ tions. Not a word has lieen said lo .Tohn, nor Is any ntleinpt maile (0 guide or control liloi by means of nins or Iiniler. llnving pinced the ste.'r In poHillou he has his tackle cast loose, and Iheu stalks off to his fav¬ orite post of observallun.
There are flve ot Ihese "striking" pens In the room In which ,T<iliii works. Four of Ihem hold only one steer nt a time, the olher holds two. When ,Tulin Is cnlled upon to pull a steer frum one (if III.' single pens hi' kniiws his wuik thuri' is doue, nnd will not go Imck there for nnother until the steer he hna Inst drnwn out Is dressed and rnn down on the overhead railway to the cooling room. Hut In the flfth pen he knows he hns lo hnul out twu steers befure his work Is nccompllshed. No sooner has he linuled out ono nud been <nst luuse thau he turns nbout nnd walks back for the other. Nnt a word Ilf couimnnd is ever given him except the call ".lohu." wheu hia ser¬ vices are needed.
In the vocnlnilary of tho stock yards Ihey have the term "downers." These are cattle that have broken a leg or Ihnt from any other ot several causes are unahle tu walk hut are yet lit for food purposes. Pfaelzer .t Sops have n contract with n Mg Enstern concern Ihnt buys nnd ships live cattle to the Knst, to kill nnd dress nil their "do^wn- ers." The Injured nnlmals nre loadeil on low trucks nnd carted to Ihe slaughter house. The truck Is backed up to a (ionr, nnd then the steer has to be hnuled up to the spot where the tackle fur the steer's elevation is. As the nnlmals weigh from I'JOO pounds to KiOO pounds ench It Is a hard pull for Jubu, uud he does not like the lob.
In .Tohu's moments of leisure he stands fnclug the door nt which the "downers" arrive. No sooner does he see a truck with oue of the animals on It thnn he begins to be busy and absorbed In something else. He will carelessly stroll nway from his post nnd roniu all over the slaughter house, paying no attention lo the calls tor "Juhn." It becomes necessary tor nn Jittendant to go nfler hliu nnd lend him to where he Is wnuted, but, this done,   he   buckles  down   lo  work.
In killing nt the slaughter house the beef caltle come flrst, nnd when they are flnlshed they handle calves. The cnttle nre driven up a runway trom which they nre admitted Into the "striking" pens ns needed. John cnu Bee this runway, nnd he knows thnt when the calves ciunc Into 11 his work is done fur the dny. ns the butchers haul the cnlves uut from the pons by hand No sooner does John see the calves coining than he qiiliM work und walks off 1(1 his Btable. He wun't do anoiher siruke ot wurk  that  day.
The 12 o'clock whistle has Just ns much nieanlug fur John as It has for the human employes of the sinughler li.mse. Wheu It liluivs Juhu begins tu wnlk nbout looking for his .linner, wlilch Is usually brought lu him. He gets It nml eats it lu n dlgnlfleil man¬ uer. Hud roams nbout nt will after w-anl. Wh.-n the wliislh' blows ngnln tor resuming work. Juhn walks back to his usunl pnst, where he can keep 111* eye on the door for the hated "downers."
John is an extremely exclusive and nrlslocnitJc horae. He allows no familiarity with him. except from two or Ihree peoph-. One of these Is Iir. T.

"I believe be undersiniids what we say about hlni." said the doctor "Don't you. John';" John laid beck his ears. tossed his hend. and looked as If he was ahuut to wink, but recullertlng his dignity refrained.

ROUND-UP OF California lions.
Ad Allempl to Kill Off tha Bl( CaU That ^orry Arlaoaa Shaapmaa.
Johu MeCarty. Territorial Game Warden, has begun « big round-up of (California lions In the San Francisco Mountains, about l.'iO miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona. In that couniry the liig cats are found In larger num¬ bers than In nuy other locality in Ari¬ zona, and the party expects to baj Severnl  hundred  of  them.
.\t one time the t^allfornla Hon wns found in nil parts ot Arizona, but large Territorial and county bounties have ransed Us cxiermluatlon lu many dle- Uicis .\x t'20 a head hunting the beasts wns a profltable business, and t .'.ie hunters, in tlmea pnst. have killed a scon of lions In a week. -•» t0t.1I of more than SIOO.OOO has been paid In Arizona for scalps In the past ten vears. Hundreds ot lions beside hnve been sbot liy cattle, horse and sheep men. who have not nskeil tor the bounties, tnking ns their reward the fact tbnt Ihey have disposed of the cniisi' of the slniighter of their calves, colts nud Inmlis.
Wbile the lions hnve grown less com- nuni In the southern part of the Ter¬ ritory, there hns heen no decrease Id their numbers In the wilder northern regions Sheepmen In the San Fran¬ cisco Mountains have complained of late Ihnt the lions were killing off all their Innibs, Wnrden McCarty has tnken the uiatter In hand, nnd, with live experienced Hon hunters nnd two score trnlued Hon dogs, he expects to rill the couniry of the pests.
He will organize wllh the cowboys nnd sheepherilers n large party, which will scour the district where the lions nie must common. The animals will be driven Inlo the centre ot a circle where they can lie killed.
The California Hon Is a small species of the panther fnmlly. It Is about the size of a Cnnadlan lynx and possesses n similar uature. It Is cowardly nnd hits uever heen known to nttack a lllilll unless cornered, bnt Is capable of •I fierce flght t\btn driven to bay. Mc¬ carty Is a collector of spcclmcna for Yale!

"Weather-Shooting" in Auatrla-Hungary.
Dl-. J. M. Perntci-, Director ot the Austrian Meteorological Service, has receutly drawu up an Interesting ac¬ count of the present state of "weather- shooUug" as practiced lu Austria-Hun¬ gary aud Italy. The apparatus for lliese niuileru experlnienls consists ot a morliir piovided with u luug tun¬ uel.
The theory upun which the practice Is based Is that by Urlng large charges of gunpowder, a scries of atmospheric whirls or vorlex-rings Is formed, which penetrate the clouds with BUt- Hclent force to prevent the formutlon lit hall, or to disperse It. At present there arc no less than 1400 ot these sbooling sUiUous In Iluugaiy, and uiiiny more In Italy.
Dr. IVrnter whs appointed by the Austrian Ministry ot Agriculture to ."xainliie lutu Ihe results uf Ihe experi¬ ments, and to repurt un the efficacy of the system lie found that both horizontal and verllcal shooting was practiced. When the mortar was shot horizontally. It wns determined tbat the vortex rings, lenvlng the mortar with a velocity of, say 170 miles on hour, had this velocity reduced to less lhau 10(1 miles an hour at n distance nf from eighty to KX) metres; while, when the gun was shot vertically, an Initial muzzle velocity of 200 miles an hour beiame reduced 10 seventy-flve miles nn hour at a lielghl of nbout 110 mei res. It is Impossiblo to say any¬ thing deflnlte concerning the efficacy nf the system, except thnt the shoot¬ ing may sometimes prevent hall.—New Vork I'oit.
