rliiments have been made In proportion.
Italy has been breeding horses for a long
time for government uses and so of course
have Austria and more particularly Ger
many, where government studs are To-
Gated at all important points. Lists are
kept of practically every available horse
for cavalry, artillery and other military
purposes.
IL Is TO England and France that WI
have to look for the highest efficiency i'm the
cavalry service and for the encouragement
of horse breeding in general. England for
years past has been dependent on its shires
and to large extent on Ireland for the
class of horse that may be described as
hunter and which by descending grade
furnishes the high and low class cavalry
horse. But with the agricultural depres-
sion that has prevailed for so long time
i'm England. and the political troubles in
Ireland, the authorities have been com
PEELED to look elseN here for substantial re-
mounts. France and other continental

willing to dispose of were not worth hay-
ing. Then the United States were thought
of. as it was supposed that with the i'm

disposal of breeders, no difficulty would tie

The recent decision of the supreme
loon keepers cannot claim contract
rights under their license, which are
in the form OF special tax, is good
sense as well as good law The new
license law of that state increases the
license tax TO $3.50 year. After the
passage of the act, and before it went
into effect, many saloon keepers took
out new licenses at the old rate for
year in advance, thinking thereby TO
avoid the increase for that period.
The court, however, determined that
they must pay the increased tax from
the day the law became operative.
This should signify to the men engag-
ed in saloon-keeping that it is not
prudent for them to fight license
law. whether high or low.
They should understand that
their business exists by sutferance, and
where it is given "A legal status they
should wisely respect all the restric-
tions and limitations imposed by law.
Kicking against the law will incite the
people to make it still more stringent.
In fact, the unwise course pursued by
liquor dealers in fighting against
wholesome restrictions has given an
added impetus to the movement for
total prohibition.

WHY He was Called Bill Nye.

You ask mo how 1 came to adopt the
nom de plume of Bill Nye, and I can
truthfully reply that I did not do SO ut all.
My first work was done on q territorial
paper in the Rocky Mountains some twelve
years ago, and was not signed. The style,
or rather the lack of it, provoked some
comment, and two or three personal en-
counters. Other papers began to wonder
who was responsible, and various names
were assigned by them as the proper one;
among them, Henry Nye, James Nye,
Robert Nye, etc., and q general discussion
arose, in which I did not take a hand.
The result was a compromise, by which l
was christened Bill Nye, and the same has
chung to me.
I am not especially proud of the name,
for it conveys the idea to strangers that
I am q lawless, profane and dangerous
man People who judge me
anime their firearms. 1t suggests daring,
debauchery and defiance to the law. Little
children are called in when I am known to
be at large, anda day Of fasting is an
nounced by the governor of the state.
Strangers seek to entertain me by showing
me the choice iniqulties Of their town.
Eminent criminals ask me to attend their
execution and assist them in accepting
their respective doom. Amateur criminals
ask me to revise their work, and to sug-
gest improvements.
All this is the cruel result of OIL acct
dent, for I am not that kind of a man.
Had my work been the same, done over
the signature of Taxpayer" or "Vo1
Popull,' how much different might have
been the result! Seeking, as I am, in my
poor, weak way, to make folly appear
foolish and to make men better by speak
ing disrespectfujly of their errors, l do no
deserve to be regarded even by strangers
as a tough aud terror, but rather as q plain

that he would collapse in a faint. At the

that only the impatient. anxious prisoner

that only the impatient, anxious prisoner
can feel at hearing words of liberty
spoken to him. Tears leaped to his blue
eyes, but he held. them back, and at the.
bidding of his lawyer walked over to The
retiring jurymen and thanked them for
their verdict in his behalf. His release'
was, to say the least, a pleasant surprise.
He expected a worse fate.
It was some seconds before Kunze,
who sat at the other end of the dock,
realized his fate. When he did he filled
up like q whipped child, and ct .ence
commanded the sympathy Of the lar Q
lawyers. He could not long restrain the
sobs that rolled up from his bleeding
heart, and quickly gave vent TO his grief
in cries and complaints. Kunze has been
the happy-go-lucky, playful occupant Of
the dock all through the trial. BY his
attitude he convinced ell that he expect
ed to be discharged, and when he buried
| his face in his hands and cried bitterly
over his three years sentence, the people
responded with smothered expressions of
compassion.
With the other three it was vastly Diff
ferent. They were unconcerned until
they heard the verdict read, and then
they, Il and all, gave a sigh of rolief,
anu luelT 1uCSS were db OuCo HSuti0u IL
smiles of satisfaction. They had no
doubt expected the death sentence, but,
on not hearing it read. felt themselves
in unexpected luck. In short, Burke,
O'Sullivan, and Coughlin were happily
disappointed.
None of the members of the prisoners
families were in the courtroom at the
time. Hence there were no affecting
scenes such as when the verdict in the
anarchist cases was pronounced. Every
thing save the cries Of poor Kunze was
quiet and defiant. The three condemned
men took their medicine" indifferently
and smiled sarcastically when Attorney
Forrest entered his motion for q new
trial.
The verdicto of the Cronin jury has sent a
thrill of disappointment throughout Chi

close observer that none of them had the
shghtest 'dea OF what was coming. They
were hopeful that q disagreement had
leen reached, but the expressions on tho
faces OF the jurymen, AMI the general
temper Of the large audience convinced
them that a verdict Of some sort was ook-
cd for. Beggs tookhis Sc on the extreme
left of the row and clasped lis chin
with his left hand. while his right hand
supported it at his left elbow. His
eyes we're downcast and his teeth we're
clinched. Beside him was big Dan
Conghlin, who stared into vacancy, mo-
t~ionless nnd unconcerned. Next to him
sat O'Sullivan, the picture of despair. On
his left sat Burke, who could not dis
guise his fears. His mouth twitched
and he gazcd about the courtroom in an
excited manner. kunZe looked hopeful,
with q face wreathed in smiling expecta-
ton.
Burke tapped Attorney Forrest on the
shoulder and reached over for a whisper
ns 10 what he was TO expect. kunzo
leaned forward also, but the lawyer
waved them both back positively and
held himself in readiness for action. 1t
was quite plain that Forrest did not know
what the verdict was to Lee.
The large courtroom was crowded to
its utmost capacity, but at the moment
under consideration all was still as the
grave. The S lenco must have been in
tensely painful to the prisoners, and, in
deed, 1t was to all present. When it was
