Those vermont Morgans.
w. H. HARDWOOD in Horse Breeder.


l read with interest Mr.. K. H. Hoff-
mans description of the Morgan stations
in his section, in the Breeder of May 23,
but am little sorry he should feel sour
over my article on Morgans in this coun-
ty (Franklin, N. Y.,) which was not in
tended to injure any one. 1t may be
that such articles as Mr.. Hoffman's and
mine serve to advertise" the stock in
our respective localities; but if so, one
fourth of the articles in any horse jour-
nal l have ever seen are advertise
ments." Take up any number of any
live horse paper, and see if it does not
contain similar articles. Why, then,
should Mr.. Hoffman feel so badly about
the bit of advertising he and l have done
in the reading columns of the Breeder?
am glad to learn that there are yet in
Vermont stations and mares carrying
such an excess of Morgan blood; but let
not the unwary reader of Mr.. HOtfman's
last advertisement" be certain that in
purchasing in Vermont he can secure
these ''perfect jewels" of horses; for our
sad experience here must teach him
otherwise. OF the eight stations de-
scribed in my article, four were bred in
Vermont, in two other parts of New
England, and only one in this county.
These stations were sold to us poor, I'M
suspecting New Workers as first class
representatives of Vermont Morgan
stock; and we supposed we had as good
as anybody till Mr.. Hoffman lifted the
veil and exhibited to our astonished gaze
the article that they keep only in Yer
mont. We further learn from Mr.. Hoff-
mans article that the Morgan blood in
Vermont is not running OUT" as many
have supposed. So far from that, the
Morgan blood would seem to be growing
stronger and thicker with each remove
from Justin Morgan. Here, in Mr..
Hotfman's article, are described Morgans
that carry more of the blood of the orig
inal Morgan than was possessed by many
of the Morgans of 40 or so years ago.
Let those who have been accustomed to
mourn over the decay of this noble fam
lily of horses weep no longer. More
perfect specimens than ever our grand
fathers knew may still be found at Lyn-
don, Vt.

The Race Not Always to the Swift,
From the Chicago Tribune.]


"This is my first regular trip on the
South Side line," said the loquacious
passenger to the driver of the night car.
GIVE been a West Slider for year. Be
fore that l lived on the North side. Be-
fore that l lived in half a dozen suburbs.
Move every May is my motto. A man
wants change"
"That's So" said the driver.
"Same way with my business" con-
tinued the loquacious passenger. "I've
just gone into the real estate business.
Before that tried the Board of Trade.
Before that l was ticket broker. Oh,
I've been most everything, a regular
jack of-all-trades. 'Twon't do for a man
to stay too long in thing and get rusty.''
"That's So" said the driver.
"Sometimes Pm up; sometimes I'm
down. I've had my carriage and pair,
and I've tried the walking. I'm down
now. But I amt kicking. Variety S
the spice of life, you know"
That's so," replied the driver"
Driving must be mighty monotonous.
TITS, amt it?''

"Any money in it?'

of his life. He listened, awestruck, to
his masters voice as it related the story
of great crime. Then, like the shrewd
man he was, he sat down and debated
with himself the best method of turning
this wierd find to his own advantage.
At first he was inclined to inform Scran-
ton that he had discovered his secret.
John realized that his silence was worth
great deal of money, and he knew that
Scranton could afford to pay we'll to
escape the gallows.
But the valet was at heart coward.
He had long stood in awe of his master,
and he reflected that man who murders
one unfortunate who holds his secret
would not hesitate to sacrifice a second
victim. So John abandoned the idea of
black-mail.
In connection with his photographic
amusements, the valet had discovered
that handsome prices were paid by a
"nickel-in-the-slot company for novel
cylinders. After an hour of meditation,
John determined to take Eugene Scran-
toms confession to this concern, demand
big price for it, and then leave the city
at once.
Arriving at the office Of the. phono-
graph company, he astonished the man.
ager by these words:
"You remember the sensational death
of Alexander Dale some months ago!
Well, the man was murdered. This CYL
inder here holds the confession of the
man who killed him-my master. Now,
you will take this cylinder to the police
and they will arrest the murderer. On
the instant the city will ring with the
news. Meanwhile you have reproduced
the cylinder thousand times, and your
public machines contain the most sensa-
tional attraction ever offered to the vic
Tins of the Photographic habit. See?
My price is $1,000. Is it bargain?'
Yes" said the manager, writing out
a check. John, the valet, sailed for
Europe that afternoon.
XII.
Eugene Scranton has been condemned
to death. He will die by electricity-the
agent of his confession.

Protected with American Tin.

By the aid of the Mckinley bill, the
roof of the National Horse Nail factory
of this city has been protected by a
cover of American tin. This is the first
roof in the state that has escaped doing
duty to John Bull, and the superinten-
dent, Mayor Hindes, is facilitating him.
self on being the pioneer in this matter.
He has also been able to substitute an
American steel of better quality for
the special English steel heretofore used,
and at a cost of less than half that of
the English article. But one thing re-
mains. the substitution of American for
swedish iron-then the millennium.

Silence is Golden.

When trouble is brewing, keep still.
