THE HORSE WARNED HIM.
Audubon's Detcrlptlon of Kentucky
Earthquake In 1812.
This vivid description qf an
earthquake was written by Audu-
bon the naturalist. It occurred in
the year 1813: "Traveling through
the barrens of Kentucky in the
month of November I was jogging
on ono afternoon when I remarked
a sudden and strange darkness ris-
ing from tho western horizon. I
had proceeded about a mile when I
heard yhat I imagined to be tho
distant rumbling of a violent tor-
nudo on which I spurred my steed
with a wish to gallop as fast as pos-
sible to u place of shelter. But it
would not- do The animal know
better than I what was forthcoming
and instead of going fuster so near-
ly stopped that I remarked he placed
one foot after another on the ground
with such precaution as if walking
on a smooth sheet of ice. I thought
ho had suddenly foundered and
speaking to hini was on the point of
dismounting and leading him when
he all of a sudden fell groaning
piteously hung his hood spread out
his four legs as if to save himself
from falling and stood stock jjfill.
continuing to groan.
"1 thought my horse was ubout la
die and would have sprung from his
back had a minute more elapsed. But
at that instant all l he shrubs and
trees began to move from their very
roots tno ground rose aim leu in
successive furrows like tho milled
water of a lake and 1 became be-
wildered in my ideas as I too plain-
ly discovered that all this awful com-
motion in nature was the result of
an earthquake. The fearful convul-
sion however lasted only a few
minutes and the heavens again
brightened as quickly as they had
become obscured. My horse brought
his feet to their natural position
raised his head and galloped off us if
loose and frolicking without a rider.
"Shock succeeded shock almost
every day or night for several weeks
diminishing however so gradually
ob to dwindle away into mere vibra-
tions of the earth. Strange to say
I for one became so accustomed to
the feeling as rathor to enjoy tho
fears manifested by others. The
earthquake produced more serious
consequences in other places."

She ran breathlessly out of the
Palace hotel and boarded a Haight
street car. "Will this car take me
to Haight and Fillmore streets?"
she asked the conductor. "Do you
want a transfer to Fillmore?" aBked
the conductor. "That is not an an-
swer to my question" Baid tho lady
passenger. TDoes this car go to
Haight and Fillmoro ?" "Goes right
out to the park" said the conductor.
"tNow see here" said the exasper-
ated passenger. "What is the rea
son you cannot answer my question ?
The clerk in the hotel told me that
a red car going in this direction
would take mo to Haight and Fill-
more. X don't know anything about

Alexundro Dumas tho great
French author was a quadroon and

that many people looked askance at
