SENATORS AS HoRSEMEN.
Three of the most noted horse lovers
of the senators are Stanford, of Cali
Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Stan
ford and Stockbridge are famous as
horse breeders, and both own noted
stock farms. Stanford has his own the
cries of horse breeding, and the results
of these have been to produce the fast
est trotting horses the world has ever
seen. He is proud of his success in this
line, and is not ashamed to appear be-
fore the world as a breeder of fine stock.
Senator Stockbridge runs his farm on a
different principle, and whether he is
ashamed of it or not, he has it
managed by his partner ana his
interest in it is represented by
the company name in the name of j.
w. Brown & Co. There are also noted
horse breeders in the house, and Scott,
who was so prominent in the last con-
gress, owns a fine farm not far from
braSka, breeds fine horses for sale, and
takes pride in saying that he makes
money out of them. Not long ago
Stockbridge, Stanford and Representa-
tive Dorsey were talking horse i'll the
senate cloak room when Don Cameron
entered, and, seeing the trio, came up
to them and said:
''You are just the three gentlemen I
want most to see. | need pair of new
horses. | want stylish team of chest
nut sorrels, perfectly matched and
gated. | want them well bred, and
while don't want them for racers, |
want them to have sucl speed that L
will not have TO take every other mans
dust on the road. would like to know
what you can do for me-"
The three statesmen horse breeders
looked up. and Mr.. Dorsey said:
''Well, Senator Cameron, l think l
can get yOu just what You want. l have
fine lot of young, Well-bred horses on
my Nebraska farm, and [ can sell you a
team of chestnut Sorrels which will
attract notice anywhere in Washington,
ana which will let themselves be passed
by nothing outside of a racer. | will, if
you say, pick you out two. L will
match them and will test them myself
during this summer, and will hand
them over to you next fall. l will not
stop until l get perfect match, and |
will see that they are well gated. L
will let you have them for 500, and you
may try them year, and. if at the end
of that time you do not find them just
what | represented them to be, you
shall have your money back and l will
take them off your hands,"
THAT is not bad Offer" replied Sen
ator Cameron, and turning to the Mich
Igan senator: "Well, Stockb1idge, what
can you dO?"
Well" said Senator Stockbridge, Il
can give you what think will please
you. l can match you team of horses
will be young and fiery. They will be
fast, and it Will be an advertisement to
us to sell them to you. They will be
well bred, but can't put the team to
you at MIR. Dorsey's price. shall have
to charge you $1,000 for them. If, how
ever, you find the least fault with them
you may put them on an express car
and send them back to me and your
money will be returned. | must, how
ever, have the cash for them in the first
place upon delivery, as this is the way
we do business"
Now. Mr.. Stanford" said Senator
Cameron, looking at the California mill
ionaire, ''what have you got to say?
want to hear your Offer"
Senator Stanford replied quickly:
s'Senator Cameron, would like to sell
you my horses. l have many from
which | think l could select team that
would please you. l would rather sell
them to you than to those who will use
them as racers, and the horses [ speak
IF nd fnn of "
price will be little higher than that of
either of the other two gentlemen. L
will have to charge you 1000 for the
team"
''Indeed,'' said Senator Cameron,
''that is a difference. Why is it that
you three gentlemen, all breeding
horses for money or for fun, don't
know which, have such difference of
prices?"
"The difference" said Senator Stan
ford, sis in the class of horses. / can
give you 500 horses as well as Mr.. Dor
sey, and l can give you thousand dol
lar-hOrSeS. such as Senator StOckbridge,
but am offering you higher grade of
article. | am offering you 81, 900 team,
and it will be worth the $1,000 when you
get it. | don't disparage these gentle
mems horses. only say that mine are
worth what / ask for them, and [ doubt
not the other gentlemen can say the
same"
"WelI, will consider the matter"
said Cameron, and with that the party
broke up. As to whom he bought his
horses of and What he paid for them. l
do not know, but it is plain to see that
he has fine turnout and that he gives a
great deal more dust on the road than he
takes. FRANK q. CARPENTER.
