MORAL.
Can IL be True?

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:
In an article in last weeks News writer
signing himself "Light Seeker'' declares
that the Catholic church forbids its mem
bers from indulging in the round dance,
and that Protestant churches also inter-
dict that species OF amusement. Can this
be true? Is not Light Seeker mistaken?
i know that he is correct a. regards the
Catholic church. The law cl that church.
Is very full and preciae, and sternis 9oFbids
all masquerading, and engaging In fsnnd
dances, going SO far as to deny all fts sac
raments (even burial OF the dt ad by It's
rites) to all who disobey this.
All that is plain enough, and, as 10 the
Catholic church, Light Seeker is co rect
But is he not mistaken about p, ot liant
| churches? Surely he must be ut least az

weekly occurrence that members Of all
the Protestant churches of this city dance
these round dances whenever they can.
even absenting themselves from church
services of week nights in order TO do so,
and attending these dances in preferences
to the church services, children too, ia
some instances, OF the very officers of the
churches. And no protest OF any account
is heard from single church; nothing al
all is done to the dahccrs, they being ever
encouraged and abetted tf their oNsa par

How can it be that dancing the round
dance is against the law of the Protestan,
churches of this city? Surely Light Seek

Gentlemen of the clergy, officers of the
Protestant churches of Lexington, let US

March Weather.

According to the weather prophets
March is destined to be stormy month.
March is generally that kind of hairpin
but this particular March promises to be
unusually marchy. 1t came in sandwich
ed between two cold waves, and is likely
to go out swinging reclslessly at the tail
of another. In the interim disturbance
will follow disturbance, storm will sue
ceed storm like figures In the ei<ldy naazes
of stag dance, and the bIessed ApziLs<<6z
shine will be as welcs1ne to suffering hu
manity ,as quart OF butterusilk TO q thirsty
tramp. From 1st to 4th, saith the weather
man, stormy, with cold wave. From 9th
to 10th, which is a regular storm period
anyhow, more storms will swing around
the corner or sail across lots and swipe us
from all sides. A cold wave win follow
these storms, and the faces of ice and coal
men, which have grown to an inordinate
length this winter, will regain their usual
latitude. About the 18th, warmer weather
may be expected. By the Goth, Venus will
find out that various silly mundanians
Bethlehem, as they did the dog star, and
will make things lively for us all. Her
position will much intensity the awful
ness of the condition. The moon will
spend its last quarter on heequinox, Nul-
can and Mercury will go on u tear, and
some very violent disturbances may be
looked for, especially on the sea coast. A
cold wave will follow the equinoxial
storms and 1t will be far reaching one.
By the time this has passed March viii be
pretty well played, and will keep quiet
until the 30th, when he will paint the.town
red, smite US with his farewell "blowout, !"
and die with his boots on.

Saving the Mares.

There is no branch of the live stock
interest that suffers so much from sell
ing off the :'top" females rs the horse
business. Breeders of swine, sheep
and cattle never for moment think of
selling their choicest breeding stock
and Keeping the less valuable animals
to replenish their herds. But the
breeders of horses, year after year, 90
on selling their very best mares to be
taken to the cities and there to be worn
out ON the streets, where they are lost
for breeding purposes, just as complete
" as are the COWS and swine than 90 to
the shambles.
This is mistake of the worst kind.
1t is wrong from every point of view.
1t is the kind of economy that kills the
goose that lays the golden egg. All the
progress that has ever been made in i'm
proving the domestic animals has been
along the line of selection of the best
specimens for breeding purposes.
Whenever we get away from that line
of progress improvement ceases. Every
time farmer sells his best young mare
to go to the city he is actually blocking
the way to progress in the improvement
of our native breeds of horses. 1t mus
appear to any thinking man that where
the best is withdrawn from use n
breeders the supply must be kept NJ
from inferior mares. The result of thi
is the race of misshapen, blemishet
horses continues.
1t must not be forgotten by farmers
and all men who breed horses, tina
form, disposition and the common
blemishes, curb, SPAWN, ringbone
splint, and stringhalt are us hereditar.
as is the color of the hair. 1t must no
be forgotten, too, that the mare mus
bear half the responsibility of the char
acter in the foal. 1t is simply folly t.
charge all the mishaps in horse breed
ing to the stallion. The mare that hai
any number of generations of materna
ancestors of inferior quality, and is her
self deficient in many points, is abso
lutely unfit to perpetuate her species
and yet we blame the stallion for fail
ure of such mare to produce goot
horses. Not only do we make mis-

Attacked by A. Monsfep

AS two fair maids did schooIward walk.
Engaged in usual schoolgirl talk,
A monster springing from his lair.
Did fierce attack the frightened pair.
1t came with rush and flop and hiss,
Straight at each scared and trembling miss.
with flashing eyes and aspect bold,
While rage its every move controlled.
They turned to flee while scream on scream
Did make the welkin ring, and seemed
To pierce the ether realms o'erhead,
AS screaming loud they wildly fed.
Swift as they ran the monster, too,
Sped in their wake, and fairly flew
AT flaming skirt, at striped hose,
At frills and founces, furbelows.
The passers by 'sturbed by the clatter.
All turned to see what was the matter,
And tainted dead TO see up ''yander,"
Two lovely maids treed by gander.
