NF CITY AND_DISTRICT. BUYING A. HORSE, How a Washington Lady Got Even ‘When Swindied by Horse Sharpers. A rather amusing story 1s being circulated among the friends of a well-known Washington lady, im which she appears in a role somewhat different from what would be eneraily ascribed to Members of her sex 10 similar circumstances, She 4s well Known to social circles at the capital, as means of her owa, which render her tndepend- ent, but makes her home with her brother's fam. tty.” She has always been accustomed to attend to her own business matters for herself, and 13 gen- erally regarded as having a pretty good head for Dusiness. But the skill with which she extri- ‘cated herseif unalded from a rather awkward situ ‘ation, in which she unwittingly found herself re- cently has surprised even her most intimate frienas It occurred two her not long ago that she Would like to have @ horse and phacton of her own, and she a: once made up her mind to make the purobase if she could find an animal to suit, SUE BUYS 4 HOMSE Being accustomed to attend to her own affairs, whe did not for a moment think 1t would be nec- eesary to have the assistance of some one versed $m horse-fiesh bat began the hunt herself. Her Anquires soop let the horsemen know what she Was aiver, and as is usually the case, they were 000 ‘presenting for inspection any’ number of Rorses. Horse after horse was driven up to her Brother's house, and this was the first inttma- Yon that the family had that she was horse Buating. She tried quite a number that she was assured were Just the animals for a lady to drive, nd nally was satisfied that she had found one to Bult. ‘The horse, she was told, belonged to Judge — a prowluent official in’ one of the Depart- Mets whose wife bad left the city, and conse tly the owner had no use for him, for he was his nose to hfs tail a lady's horse.” The horse Was driven several times before the money was paid—a gvod stiff price. THE ONLY OBJECTION ‘the new owner had to him wus that he was a little od spirited whea starting out, but ne would soon quiet down and Jog along as a lady's horse ought. ‘One morning several days after the purchase she was sitting at the window ashe was brougnt around from the stable. At first sue didn’t recog- hue him, and whea the phaeton drew up in front Of the door, she Wook a goud look, but could scarcely Delieve her eyes, SO CHANGED WAS HIS ATPRARANCE. He tooked as if he hadn't been fed or a month. {Bis head and tall droped, he stood as if his poor ‘crooked legs could hardly bear the weight of his emaciated body, and when she clucked to him and jerked on the reins In a womanly way 1t seemed as if he could hardly moke a start, She thought he would soon warm up to bis work, but he didn't. “What can be the matter,” she said to herself, a5 4m vain she tugged at the reins, and then all Of @ sudden the thought Mashed through her mind, “TRE MEDICINE'S KUN OUT. ve been the victim of sharpers; this horse has Deen doctored to sei.” She was very much morti- fled, but she didn’t drive home. It would never do to let the folks see how she had been victim- ‘aed. Sue headed straight for the stable where ‘she left her once noble animal and walked home. ‘She said never a word to anyone about her trouble orher intentious, but hurriedly putting on ber most becoming costume she took a street-car for the Judge's office. She had never met the former ‘owner of the horse, but she remembered his name and his office. On'the way she decided on a plan Of action. At the office a messenger took her car And she foliowed close behind the messenger an ‘Stood before the Judge as her card was handed to Lim. She dido’t intend to be put off with any ex- ‘Cuse of a press of business. Sue was politely re- ceived and Was recognized as the horse-purchaser. Her appearance had adeal of weight, as she in- {ended It should have when she arrayed herself in her best. “Judge, Ive come to talk with you bout the horse,” began the visitor. ‘The judge sulled faintly aud hoped he was all gat. “I have but one objection to Lim,” was the earnest reply. “He suits me in every other re- Spect, but realiy ME 18 TOO SPIRITED for a lady todrive.

Thither she hurried, and after being lue ied drew the money. Still she Was not satisfied, She knew nothing about that bank. “Suppose the Bilis should be counterfeit” she thought. “By bur Tying she reached the up-town bank, where she Gid Business, Uefore the close of business and Was More thay grutMicd When the atount was depos Sted to her credit.

In closing, Gov. Larrabee said: “Much progress has been made in the enforcement of the probibi- tory law. Not only has public sentiment much improveddn relation to it, but judicial officers are more disposed to secure {ts enforcement. Many judges give strong, testimony in. Its favor snowing Where it has been well execu there has been a marked reduction in criminal offenses, and alsoin court expenses. ‘There has been a marked improvement in the condition of Ur Poorer people, especially in the families of there iver ints aifteulty noe fa ‘aorotng the ere 18 ve now Jaw in the Fural districts, sad in a very large ma- of the counties, there are still a ew portions arin particularly some of the cities, Where the ‘law is not. enforced. jowever, does not include all such cities, for in Des Moines, Sioux City, and Cedar Rapids, three of the largest And most rapidly growing cities of the state, the pronibitory law ts now, and has been for the past year, well enforced. “rhe constitution makes tt incumbent upon the governor to enforce the laws. Citizens have in and again called upon me to enforce the prohibi- tory law in the few counties and places where as yet but litte regard has been paid toit. 1in turn have calied upon the ju sheriffs and other officers to ald in ‘accomplish ing this, but I regret to say without success. 1 know of no means at the command of the executive which can be relied Upon to secure better resultsin the future. I Uuerefore recommend that a joint committee of the general assembly be appointed early in the ‘Session to inquire into the reasons tor the hon-en- forcement of Chis law tn certain communities, and Whether the officers there are negiectlul of their dudes. I think some measures should be adopted lo quicken the consciences of the officials Who ne- | glect or refuse to perform thetr sworn duty, or else provide a Way for their suspension or removal. ‘The authority of the legislature in these matters 48 no longer a subject of dispute. The recent de- cision of the Supreme Court of the Uniied States settles that question, With this powertul support, At only rematus for the friends of good goverumsnt and law and order in Iowa to press paulently, yet resolutely forward with this great reform, until tue saloon and all tilegal manufacture and sale of Anvoxicating liquors are utterly destroyed.” ‘The Naval Heserve.
