Quality VS.. Quantity.
1t is not quantity but quality Of
horses that is in demand. There is no
overstock of good, sound horses that
have speed and other qualifications,
that go to make up desirable horse.
Speed Speed! The more the better. 1t
is not every mare that can successfully
produce and develop speed. Aside from
bringing together the requisite ele-
ments in sire and dam, the foal, from
the time it drops till educated and de-
veloped trotter, is subject of care
and attention. One mistake may be
fatal. Developed speed is in demand.
A stallion or mare for breeding pur-
poses will command from twice to fifty
times more with fast record than if
undeveloped. The better the breeding
the more the price is increased by the
record. Axtell undeveloped would not
have sold for over $1,000 For track
purposes horse without record show
ing extreme speed is almost without
limit as to price. Gentlemen's drivers
will have to be speedy or not wanted.

i the name Of the young gentleman to

Lewis Z. Clinton. Somavou is the king
Of the BasSa tribe. in the southwestern
part of Africa. This tribe occupies a ter
ritory running back over the Kong noun
tain~, 800 miles in length and 2ol miles in
breadth. with an outlet TO the sea. In hi
boy hood Somayou had strong desire 10
learn the English language. so that he
might trade for his people. With this de-
termination he ran away from his tribe
and made his way to the coast where he
found an opportunity to learn the rudi-
ments of our language. He soon came in
contact with missionary and learned the
story of Je ns and the christian religion
to wh.ch he soon became happy convert.
Now new impulses throbhed in his
breast. In The light of the new faith he
saw that his people needed something
else, even more than knowledge. which
would enable them TO drive bargains with
the sharp white man. He therefore deter
mined 10 cross the sea to America, and
first found his way to our school at Har-
Per'> Ferry, where lie made good progress
in his studies for four years Last autumn
he came 10 Lewiston, and is now a member
of the senior class in Nichols Latin School
Mr.. Clinton is not only good English
scholar. but has shown average ability in
mastering Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and
other studies which fitting for New Eng.
land colleges requires.
He contemplates course in Bates Col
lege, after which, his plan is to go back to
his people; not as ruler, but for the pur-
pose of establishing a civilized colony, and
devoting his life and energy to the inter
ests of his people. educationally and relig-
iously. Mr.. Clinton defrays his expenses
at school by lecturing. He has spoken in
many places in Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,. He has a very pleasant
and interesting way of telling of the Gus
toms and manners of his people, and will
doubtless be powerful factor in arousing
the sympathy of our people. for the chill
dren of the dark continent"
