DIR. JAMES P. CAMPBELL:
DEAR SIR-yiewed from a "complexional"
standpoint we prefer the gentler and loveller
sex should render verdict as to the efficacy OF
Campbelrs Arsenic Waters, neither member
of this firm ever having had occasion to use
them in that particular direction.
But as reliable STOMACHIC, NERVE tonic
BRAIN nutrient and INVIGORANT we say
without the slightest hesitation, that we have
jointly derived great salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almost a network of open
trenches, emitting unhealthy and noxious
vapors, our SENIOR used the waters most sue
c~essfuliy in overcoming an attack of malaria
and in warding off other visitations of that
most persistent ailment, and Mr.. Hummel de-
clares emphatically that there is NOTHING to
equal Campbells Waters, when one realizes
the necessity of quilting ones self together"
We know "Whereof we write,'' so please &C
cept this honest expression of our convictions
regarding the wonderful waters bearing your
name.
Very truly yours, HOWE & HUMMEL.

Thanksgiving Day For the Frisky
Family.
From the Kindergarten.J
Once upon a time, out in the coun-
try, two squirrels, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frisky lived, with three little squirrel
children, in a nice large hole at the
foot of a maple tree. Tinny, Bunny
and Bushy Frisky we're very happy
little squirrels. Such good times as
they had every day, chasing each
other around, and up and down the
trees?
They did not play all the time,
however. In the fall, when Jack
Frost goes through the trees, and the
nuts come down, these little folks had
work to do, helping mamma and papa
gather the nuts to put away in their
house for the winter.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving
when papa Frisky came in looking
very sober.
Tinny, Bunny and Bushy ran to
meet him. ~ have something to tell
you, dear Children" he said. 81
have just come from Mr.. Frolic's;
you know where his family live in the
large beech tree by the brook. Mr..
Frolic hurt his paw while gathering
nuts a few weeks ago, and has not
been able to 60 out since. He chose
their home in the beach tree, so as to
have one kind of nuts very heal them.
But since he has had TO stay in the
house, there have been so many greet
big boys after nuts, that Mrs. Frolic
and the children have been afraid to
60 outside the door. They have not
enough to last through the winter.
"Let us 60 and gather some for
them," SAID Bunny.
81 thought you would sry that, my
dear child" said papa Frisky, look
ing very happy, "but if we 60, it
must be Tomorrow, for the snow
may come any day now"
Tomorrow, you said, you would
climb with us to the top of hat tall
tree" said Bushy with a cross look.
"You must decide this, dear chill
dren shall we help Mr.. Frolic's fam
lily tomorrow, OF have the nice time
we planned climbing trees?"
"Of course we will help the Frol-
ics," said Bunny and Tiny after a
few moments-Bushy did not say
anything but he looked more pleasant.
The Frisky family were up before
the sun next morning, and off to the
nut trees. So they worked busily
for several days, and before the snow
fell Mr.. Frolic's pile of nuts was
fully as large as their own.
Miss Addie, who told this story to
her little children in the kindergarten,
now proposed that they should play
it.
II will be Mrs. Frlsky, Jamie may
be Mr.. Frisky, Robbie may be Bushy,
Sammie we will call Bunny, and little
Joen shall be Tiny. The other chill

gether and their arms upralsed. Let
your hands drop from the wrists, and
futter softly, whenever a little breeze
presses through the woods. But when
there is a big gust of wind, the arms
may shake and the hands fly about
more fiercely. Listen to the piano,
children, and the soft music and the
loud music will tell you when the
breeze is soft, and when the strong
wind blows the the nuts will fall fast,
and Tiny, Bushy and Bunny can
gather them.
So they did, and what pretty trees
we had, and what a merry scrambling
there was after a hard gust! The
piles of nuts grew big, and before
the little folks were tired, the ankle
ties of papa Frolic were much re-
lieved. This game was repeated and
enlarged upon day by day, and at
last came the play of the presentation,
and the gratitude of the Frolics big
and little, and the general JOY of all.
One of these days, Miss Addie had
said: II have a story to tell you.
Near my home live a little hoy and
two little girls. Their papa has been
sick for a long time and their mamma
has worked very hard, trying to get
enough food for her little children,
but they are sometimes hungry.
They know Thanksgiving Day is
coming, but they don't expect to
have a very good time.
They have no Grandma to visit in
the country. They need new shoes,
warm coats and mittens. 1t would
be nice if they had some apples to
bake on Thanksgiving Day.
"Let us do as the squirrel children
did, take them some things said
Edith. 1t is the opinien of all, that
this suggestion is a good one.
Immediately they commence plan
mug what they will take.
1t seems a long time till mamma
can be consulted. But the time
passes swiftly after all, in working on
the scrap-books intended as Thanks
giving presents for the little children
in the hospitals.
Before nine O'Clock next day, our
kindergarten is a scene of joyous
activity.
That the parents have been inter-
ested in our plans is shown by the
offerings the children bring.
There is a warm coat and cap for
the little boy, cloaks and hoods for
the little girls, with mittens for each.
There are apples and potatoes,
pears and grapes; indeed, it becomes
a question how we are to convey this
''Thanksgiving'' to the little folks for
whom it is intended.
Edith's brother, however, comes to
our assistance, offering to loan his
express wagon, and soon all are
ready.
The children enjoy the walk, and
the delight and surprise of the happy
recipients of their thoughtfulness.
Returning to kindergarten, they
are in turn surprised. Some one has
been thinking of their pleasure, for
the tables are set with the tiny dishes
that always denote a party" and
they are invited to enjoy a lunch of

necessity of maintaining safe prepon-
out that to keep the action effective
would, as a practice, require two trotting
crosses upon the thoroughbred founda-
ton. though scattering instances would
doubtless occur where one would do it.
In replying to my article, Mr.. Wallace ig-
nored my stated position in this respect,
and tried to place me on other ground in
order that he might the better make a
plausible argument. He contends that if
for trotting purposes thoroughbred blood
in itself is worthless, it is worthless in
combination.
The following is the reply to his edito-
rial, which he declined to publish
RUNNING BLOOD IN THE TRoTTER.
Mr.. Wallace thinks the facts are
against me. He throws out Oliver X
from my list of horses whose dams have
90 per cent of running blood, but as
omitted Belle Brasfield, whose sire had
80 per cent of running blood, he reduces
my number but one instead of two.
His other exception was the two-year-old
filly Sunol, and his objection to her upon
the techncality of lost pedigree is fair
ly taken. | did myself stipulate that
cases of lost pedigree should not count
for either side of the argument. The
pedigree of Waxy, the second dam of
Sunol, is lost, but just here | want to
state its probabilities. Waxy, with
three other mares presumably thorough
bred, were in the hands of professional
racing man, who died on his arrival with
them in California. When his effects

THE SIRE OF BLACK HAWK AND
ETHAN ALLEN,

The article in last weeks REGISTER on
pedigree of dam of Maud ). should have
been accredited to American Cultiyator.
We are very glad to learn this week
from Mr. Parlin of the Cultivator that he
has secured the diaries and stud books of
Dir. Bellows at the time he kept Sher-
man Morgan.
From our own knowledge in the mat
ter we presume they will show that Nor
gan Paddy was sold and had gone to
Rhode Island before 1882, the year that
Black Hawk was got. If this is so. it
will forcibly illustrate the difficulties that
those run into who prefer falsehood to
truth The rock of truth is solid. Plant
ed on it one can stand securely through
all contingencies. but the shoals of false
hood are as unstable as water and he who
places himself upon them is very certain
soon to become the laughing stock of all.
So, too, in the case of Flying Morgan
the testimony of Mr.. Yale, part owner of
the horse with DR.. Russell, and who kept
him for service the season they bought
him, has not been overthrown. Mr..
Yale states positively it was in 1919, the
year Ethan Allen was foaled when he
and DIR. Russell bought the horse: Fly
ing Morgan being at the time six years
old. We have additional and contempo-
raneous testimony to this date as given
by Mr.. Yale being correct. The moral
of all this is-and it is respectfully dcdi-
Gated to those who need it-that it is al
ways better to accept what is true rather
than to undertake to prove what is false,
however ingenious one may be in that
sort of undertaking.

THOROUGHBRED BLOOD IN THE

Editors 7u,t, Field and Fdrm.-In the
January number of Wallace's Monthly
contributed an article under the above
caption, which drew from the editor a
lengthy reply. He subjected my evil
dence in favor of thoroughbred blood to
have very little to complain had he not,
in bringing evidence against me, crowd
ed his list with animals that he should
not have used for the very same reasons
that he adduces against two that he
threw out of my list. AS my article was
lengthy and has been freely copied in
other journals, | will not ask its repet-
ton here, nor would | come to you now
for space to reply to his editorial, but
for the reason that when | offered my
reply for publication in his magazine it
was declined, after he had had it in hand
for week or more.

seen my original article, and fewer still

The evidence referred to above is of
this nature
Julius b. Douglass, very reliable cit
izen of East Constable, n. V, informed
us that he left East Middebury, VT, for
Constable, n. y, the last day of April,
1851, that he took with him bay stall
lion colt then yearling; that said colt
was raised by Daniel LOOMS Sessions of
East Middlebury, and got by Flying
Morgan; that he bought the colt of Mr..
Sessions when four months old, and
while following the mare, for S25, giving
his note; that he afterward, in the spring
of 1853, sold this colt, then three years
Old, to Hiram Sessions, who took him to
Ohio. Mr.. Douglass remembers that at
one time Harvey Yale had Flying Nor
gan. Mr.. Douglass thinks that Flying
Morgan was first so called at trot on
the ice at Lake Dunmore, when owned
by Mr.. Daniels of Brstol,Nt.
In this interview with Mr.. Douglass.
which we had at Bread Loaf Inn, find
ing that we were very particular about
the date of the first purchase of this colt
when following the mare, Mr.. Douglass
said that he believed that he still held
the note which he gave Mr.. Sessions at
the purchase of the colt, and that he
would send it to us. After his return
home he sent US this note. 1t was dated.
as he said, in the summer of 1850, and is
strong evidence that Flying Morgan was
kept for service at Middlebpry or Bristol,
VT, the season of 1919, for it is hardly
possible that Mr.. Sessions, or anybody
else in Addison county, bred a mare to
him after he was taken to Burlington ::
but it is possible, though we have never
heard it suggested, that DR.. Russell
owned Flying Morgan through the sea-
son of lS49, in addition to the season of
lS4S, when he was kept by Mr.. Yale.
Mr.. John Bicknell of Bristol, VT, now
living, who bought him back of DIR. Rus
sell for Mr.. Adams. informs us that this
trade was made in the winter.

WHOSE sIREs HAVE FIFTY PER

By dividing up the 20 list into classes
relating to their records, showed that
almost exactly one-half of its $50 horses
fell into the slower class composed of
records between = 10 and , 20 inclusive.
By dividing the remaining horses again
in two equal parts found that the next
class of records fell in between , :l1i and
2:lS3 inclusive; and by dividing the re-
mainder once more into equal parts
found that the next class of records fell
in between 2:l64 and 2:l74 inclusive,
and so on until all the horses were cl issed.
In thus classifying them it is at once APP
parent that the difficulty of advancing
from the slower to the faster classes
upon which the classes are divided any
given class has just half as many mem
bers as the next slower one, and just
twice as many as the next faster one. If
classes by the number of horses that are
able to enter them, then the comparative
difficulty of any two classes will be in in
verse ratio to the number of horses
which have been able to reach the classes
under comparison. This gives vivid
idea of the great difference in merit be-
tween record at the fast end of the , 30
list as compared with record at the
slow end
Now in comparing the animals that
were known to have the stipulated infu-
sion of thoroughbred blood in them with
the other animals in the 20 list, | dem
onstrated that much larger proportion
of the high-bred ones trained on from the
slower to the higher classes than was the
case with those that had not the stipula-
ted infusion of thoroughbred blood, and
that this proportion in favor of the high
bred ones became more and more marked
as the difficulty increased, until finally
classes were reached that no trotter
without the thoroughbred infusion had
yet been able to accomplish. Thus a
high-bred one that reached the easy end
of the , 20 list was found to stand 80 per
cent greater chances of passing 2:l9
than horse that had no. the thorough
bred infusion. His chance of training be-
yond 2:l7a were s3 per cent. better, and
passing 2;lG4 more than 100 per cent.
better; or to state it otherwise, more
than twice as great. When it comes to
2:l5 the horse with the thoroughbred in
fusion is found to stand three times as
great chance of training beyond, and
the same or nearly so at 2:l4, while at
2:ll the chances of the high-bred one are
immeasurably better, for without the
thoroughbred infusion no horse has yet
done it.
In thus commenting on the effect of an
infusion of thoroughbred blood, l ex-
pressiy stated that l did not ignore the

4 lumber merchant in discussing the
Introduction Of California redwood into
the eastern trade, Is quoted rs say ing :
q" Six years ago this wood was compare
lively unknown to the general trade.
Now it is one Of the most popular Of the
CHEAPER grades. By rights II should DO
sold ut less price than pine, and were
il not for the cost OF transportation such
would be the case. AS II IS It sells for a
very small price higher. The redwood
is about as pretty polished as any you
ever saw. The gram Is very close and
its surface has softness like dehcately-
woven silk. When II Is simply planned
its surface looks like satin, 50 rich
is its lustre. Cabinet workers like
the wood exceedingly. because it
has practically no splitting quail
ties. They can carve 1t with the
greatest readiness, for 1t is very soft, and
It's pretty color, which is slightly mis-
named, lends itself 10 shading with much
effect. Builders are using 1t coDsidera-
hlv for wsinscoting, friezes, built up
cabinets, balustrades, and the like, and
some. too, are even giving 1t tue preIe-
renee for flooring. But for the latter
purpose it Is not good, because OF its La
bihty to denting. There is little doubt
in nv mind that the Georgia pine will
soon give place TO the California red
wood. Some OF the most richiy-hnished
interiors in the city show examples OF
work in redwood that the workers in
the valuable hari-woods could not posi-
bly, reproduce. Yet the colorlng Is as
rich and the cost is not more than one
ouarter
