A Citizen Tiex His Horse to a Buffalo Policeman. From the Buffalo Express. Patrolman Andrew Cotter of the eighth precinct had a strange and rather em- barrassing experience early yesterday morning. Cotter is a comparatively new member of the force, but it is doubtful if any of the older members ever had a stranger experience. The officer was stand- ing near the curb on Broadway near the Belt Line tracks about 2 o’cleck. He was ‘ing why the sergeant had “shoo- him off his regular beat, on which there were two breweries and a wedding, and placed him away out on the outskir Where vacant lots and loneliness were atout his only companions. The stre Were deserted and it was a relief to him when he heard the rattle of an approach- ing vehicle. it was a horse and buggy. There was only one occupant, a man, who drove straight up to where Cotter was standil He jumped out, and, taking a hitch-strap from the buggy, snapped one end of it to the ring-bit. Then, without saying a word he placed the line around the officer's waist, drew it tight, tied a couple of good, safe knots in it, and started aw Cotter Was so amazed at this unheard-of pro- ceeding that he was unable to utter a word of protest, and the stranger had gone two rods or more away before Cotter had found his voice. “Hey, there!’ called the officer. “Where are you going?” “Never mindt. Yoost siay th me mine horse I come bac So saying the stranger increased the dis- {ance between himself and the officer. “Hold on there!" yelled Cotter. “What do you mean by hitching your horse to me? “Vat I mean? I vouldt haf you under- stant I vas a citizen und a taxpayer, und if you let mine horse go avay I go by Mister Bull in der morning.’ Meanwhile Cotter had been unhitching himself. His amazement had given away to anger, and he was no sooner free to move than he caught the man who had shown so little respect for an officer of the la’ e und holt “I'll teach you to hitch your horse to me,” he roared, as he rushed the man to a patrol box. The man, who said he was Charles Stromski, objected to this. He started in to abuse the officer, and used up all the profanity known to the three lan- gvages prevalent in the neighborhood. It Was not without much trouble that the off cer dragged him along to a patrol box. Stromski never ceased his abuse till the police wagon had got out of sight of Cot- ter. At the station house, when the officer in command asked for a charge and was told it was hitching a horse toa policeman, he laughed himself into hysterics. After he recovered his compesure the circumstances were explained to him. He looked over the laws of the city and state and found many things which it is unlawful to do to a policeman, but there was nothing about hitching a horse to one.” Stromski was obviously drunk, so for want of a severer charge he was put down, much to Cotier'’s cisgust, as a plain drunk. The merning justice effered to let him go if he would promise never again to use policeman for a hitching post. Strom: dignantly refused to make this promi: s ed that he was suffering from a great injustice, threatened s vengeance to the officer aud every one nected with the poli department. He was which his friends p. A SURGEON'S DIL) From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

He had an abscess under his left arm, and was suflering intensely. It needed lancing, and we proceeded to do it. I got my instru- ments ready, placed the man in a chair un- der the electric light and made an ine‘sion. The armpit is a very dangerous pl. many large and small arteries gather there. 1 had just time to see that I had lanced it, and had also severed a good-sized blood vessel, when the electric light nt out. had no kerosene lamp or gas light in t room. I could hear the blood falling in little pool on the floor, and my patient was terribly excited. I was scared. I seized a towel, made a wad of it, and chucking it under the man’s arm, teid him to hold it down at his side. Then I ran tc the tele- Phone and called up the power station. ‘IU be an hour before we can get the light on again.

I then remembered a kerosene stove, and lightinz this, I caught up the blood vessel with thread, and dressed the wound by its fail- ing hgnt. It was the most startling and precarious operation I ever performed.” 2ee--——_- A Queen Forbidden the Bicycle. From the Pall Moll Gazette. La reine s’ernuie. It is said that all the younger royalties of Europe are learning or have already learred to bicycle, but there is one melancholy exception. This is ‘the young Queen of Holland, who, during her last sojourn at Vienna, was seized with the longing called Velomania. An expen- sive and faultless machine was purchased, and she took it back with her to Hollaud. But here, unhappily, a state complication arose. The Qneen Regent found the bike involved risks to life and limb, and when the young royal bikist eagerly asserted that the machine was her own, her mother an- swered, “Yes, but a queen isn't.” Queen Emma decided that the question, Shall a menarch learn the bicycle? was important enough to be sub:nitted to the council of state, and though her daughter quoted all the royal precedents she could think of, her demands were advanced in vain. The council of state, according to the Vater- land, answered thus: “Among all the illus- trious names which your majesty has men- tioned there is _no personality in whom is vested the welfare of such countless su>- jects as here.. We must earnestly implore your majesty, however small tke danger may be which is involved in bicycling, that your majesty will be graciously pleased to forego the same.” Thus does the courtier paraphrase the sentence—Others may, but you mustn't. Queen Wilhelmina was sore- ly grived at the decision, but she is said to have been comforted by the ‘ft of a Shetland pony. bout ht. as 13 a Y WILL YOU PLAY DoXIL?

Es pe : Proning Vines in the Fall. Joseph Meehan in “Gardening.” The rampant, straggling growth of vines, which so many porches and ot Cisplay at this season of the year, is often left untouched until spring, detracting from places the neat appearance which is so desirable. There is no necessity to leave the work of pruning till spring as most every one does The work done late in the fall or early in the winter would make the premises much prettier. In my own case I de not prane the honeysuckle nor the akebia at this um as both are very nearly evergreen he and it does please me so to see the green foliage about the house in the winter sea- son. But many of the shoots are brought into position, to keep up a nice appearance through the winter. These two vines are pruned in spring. I have read that akebia should not be pruned in spring, as it would bl to death. My vine on my porch has been pruned every spring since planted several years ago, and it could now be in better shape than it is. Deciduous vi all kinds pruned now, besides for the r spoken of. Trumpet v wistaria, staff vine, dolichos, matrimony vi (Lyceum), moon seed vine (me: rmum), silk v re as well ns already (periploca), flowering & as well as com- mon fruiting grapes Il to be included in the list. The yellow jasmine (nudiflorum) must not be pruned, as the on the jong «nd we want ly spring. It will permit of a little digression to say here that this early flow smine shoul’ planted on the northern side of a dwe or the flowers come so early that they shoots madc the bloom w nearly always frost The new vine Japan, Vitis netiac, said to be ant colored foliag: country, is far the foliag is but little better than that of a concor grape, which it much resembles in othe minus the fruit, of which none has yet appeared. But I have hopes that as it gets age and makes strong canes, color may come to the leaves. coe = A Serious Family Affair. From the Scranton (Pa.) Times. No matter how poor a man in this world may be, he can consider himself fortunate if he was born of honest and industrious parents, because, with few exceptions, what is born in the bone comes out in ihe flesh, and this has recently been shown as a re- sult of some interesting studies on the doc- trine of heredity made by Dr. Peelma distinguished professor in the University of Bonn. The case he investigated was that of Frau Ada Jurke, who for sixty years has been a resident of Cologne. Sne ¢ confirmed profligate, addicted to all de ing vices, and frequently convicted of crime: was the mother of several children, and six generations of her posteriiy, num- bering altogether S74 per: be traced, Prof. Peelman located and secured the bi- of 70% members of tnis remark- One hundred and six were of illegitimate birth, 162 were pro! beggars and 64 of them died in alasshouse 181 women lived lives of open shame, were convicted and imprisoned for crime and 7 have been executed for murder. Prof. Peelman calculates that it has cost the state an average of $12,000 a year, or a total of $1,200,000,-to care for the paupers of this remarkable family, to protect society against them and to punish their crimes for 100 years. cea ORES cg Shah Fond of Felines. From Househsld Words. In enthusiasm for cats the Shah of Per- sia surpasses all other royal devotees. He has fifty of them and they have attendants of their own with special rooms for meals. When the shah goes away they go too, carried by men on horseback. The late czar of Russia was very fond of the feline tribe. When visiting the King of Denmark on one occasicn he alarmed the menials by rush- ing out very early one morning to the gar- dens. From the window of his sleeping rcom he had seen e big dog attack his fa- verite black cat, and, without staying to complete his toilet, he had fled to her res. cue. The famous royal cat of Siam is a large white short-haired variety, with black face and a peculiar formation of ear. Its preciousness may be judged from the fact that it once took three gentlemen of influence three months to procure one for an English consul at Bangkok. From the Utica Press.
