The English Way of Taking
Care of Horses.

Some English grooms at Sar-
atoga are teaching Yankees
the care Of horses. l asked
one of these groOms who has
spent twenty years in the
stables of royalty what be had
to say about our American
wav of taking care of horses.
"Wby. cir" said he. "you
don't take good care of your
horses, you think you do, but
vou don't. r..
"WhvT .1.
"Because, when a horse
comes IN all wet with perspir-
ation. you let him stand in the
stable and drv with all the dirt
on. In England we take the
horse as he comes from a drive
and sprinkle blood warm wa.
ter all over him. from his head
40 his feet. Then We scrare
him down and blanket HIM,
rubbing his legs and face drv.
Thus in an hour he ls clean and
drv and ready to take a good
feed, while with your way he
will stand and swelter for
hours, and finally dry, sticky
and dirty. ~
Onr horses never founder
and never take cold We nev.
er use a currv- comb vou
scratch your horses too hard
The only care necessary is moi
to have the wster too cold

Here is y 1.-THE pen picture
OF Judge Gilmore, the Demo
aratic nominee for Supreme
Judge. 1t is taken from the
Hamilton Telegraph:
The nomination of Judge
Gilmore to the Supreme Bench
was an outrageous thing for
the Democratic State Conven-
tion to do. 1t would be hard
TO find in all OHIO a lawyer or
'Judge" less qualified IN every
way Tor so responsible a posi-
,ion. He is unlettered, ignor.
ant even IN his chosen profess
sion, and the slave OF his appe-
tlte. The Sheriff of Butler
county had been compelled to
adjourn court from day to day
while Judge Gilmore was in
dulglng in one OF his frequent
and protracted sprees. The
Butler county Bar, not long
since, sent him a petition, ask
ing him to exchange and so let
another judge hold court In
Butler county. Only a short
time ago, he was arraigned be
fore the Mayor of his own vii
lage and fined for drunkenness.

Association OF Hillsboro, Ohio,
would address you, not as hav-
ing a wisdom superior to our
sister Associations, but mod.
estly wishing TO present Ger
tain suggestions as to work
that can only be effectually
carried on through the co op-
Grafton of all the Leagues OF
the State. rlmu
1t is asserted IN some quar-.
ters that there is danger that
an attempt Will be made to Sc,
cure some modification of our
present liquor laws. We think
The active cooperation of all
the friends of Temperance
should be secured to prevent
this. Let every proper influ-
ence be brought to bear upon
the members of our Legisla
ture to induce them to hold
firmly all that has been gained.
But it seems TO us that the
present is a suitable time for
aggressive work. Now that
the Temperance people have
shown their power, let us use
our advantage TO secure more
stringent legislation. We GER
tainly need this. Surely the
keeping of a saloon, with all
the appurtenances belonging
to a tipping house, ought to
have some weight as evidence
against liquor dealer. II may
be that a re 7ision of the rules
of evidence IS called for, or
some constitutional enactment
that shall more efficiently arm
us against the dreadful evil -
Whatever changes-whether
legislative or constitutional
are necessary, let u.s. demand
them And if all NE leagues
throughout the State shal!
earnsestly and actively unite
in pressing this demand, il. will
at least meet with respectful
consideration, and we believe
1t will meet with more than
this.
1t may be said that our laws
are slready'ln advance of pub
lie sentiment, and that 1t is
folly to ask more stringent laws
while existing ones are not en-
forced. In answer we say that
the effort to secure advance
legislation will stimulate pub
lie sentiment, and besides, the
earnest man should have the
beat weapon in his hand, for,
after ali the work, we think
that this should now be earn
estly done. and Tor success
in this, and every effort 10 ad
vance the cause so dear to US

The Vanzandt Case.

"John Vanzandt who is the
original John Van Trompe in
Uncle Toms Cabin, was an old
man who had emigrated from
Kentucky, and owned and oc-
cupied a small farm in Hamil
ton county. His means were
slender, and bis education Inn
tied; but his heart was rich in
henevolence, and his honesty
was doubted by none. He was
an abolitionist IRON principle
and from sympathy. He be-
lieved that slaveholding was
wrong, and his kindly nature
was prompt to succor the dis
tressed, end found especial
qualification in aiding iugitiveO
rom the oppression of sla very,
"On the night OF Friday, 22d
of April, 1912, a number Of
slaves from Kentucky escaped
into Ohio. Their escape was
probably voluntary. There
are very few cases, l believe,
in which persons other than
slaves have had anything to
do in prompting, or -even as
sisting, their original flight.
This party of slaves consisted
OF nine persons.
"On reaching the Ohio, they
doubtless, found friends, who
conducted them to Walnut
Hills, in the vicinity Of Lane
Seminary. There Vanzaudt,
returning from the Cincinnati
market, where he had been
selling The products oil his larm,
and, moved by sympathy, un
dertoOk to convey them In his
wagon, to Lebanon or Spring
field. One of the slaves, An
drew, acted as driver. They
were met some fifteen miles
north of Cincinnati, by some
ruffians, who, suspecting them
to be fugitive slaves, undertook
to seize them. They succeeded,
except as to Andrew, the drlv.
er, WHO jumped from his seat
and escaped.
"Such was the temper of the
times, and such the counter.
ance given, by The Supreme
Court, to such practices, that
this abduction Of persons from
this jurisdiction OF Ohio into
Kentucky could not be punish
ed. A prosecution was COM
menced against hem, and there
WAS a sort OF trial as to some of
them. The prosecuting altor-
pey, however, evinced little
zeal, while they were defended
by Thomas COrwin and John b.
Weller, both men OF marked
ability. They were acquitted
more by The public sentiment
than by the jury, who rendered
the verdict ol acquittal.
'Vanzandt was sued by
Jones, from whom the slaves
had escaped, for harboring and
concealing them. l was called
upon to defend Vanzandl, and
very willingly undertook the
cause. II came 10 trial before
Judge Mclean, at Cincinnati
