The Home Journal and author of a book
called ''Ben Smith Abroad" and their
relative, John James Piatt, was noted
as early as 1857, and probably has the
most enduring fame of all. His wife
also, Sarah Morgan Bryan, ranks high
as a poetess.
There was also a John Hooper Piatt,
of Cincinnati, who accumulated large
fortune, spent it in the service of the
United States in 1925, failed to get
his pay and died in q debtors prison.
Indeed, the Piatt family is prolific of
talent of many kinds, and always ready
to fight, write or speak for it's views. 1t
is fact well worth noting that the
views of Colonel Dom Piatt, expressed
on various court martials and boards of
inquiry during the war, though severely
criticized at the time, have been ap-
proved by a later and cooler Judgment
of the people. Personally Colonel Piatt

To Cure a Horse Of Baking.
RECIPE GIVEN AS 1NFALLIBLE BY A
MOUNTED POLICEMAN.

An officer Of the police detail said
recently: when | was a united
policeman l learned Of a most humane
and kind method Of curing a balky
horse. 1t not only never fails, but it
does not give the slightest pain to the
animal. When the horse refuses to
90 take the front foot at the fetlock
and bend the leg at the knee joint.
Hold it thus for three minutes, and
let it down and the horse will go.
"I'he only way in which / can &C
count for this effective mastery OF the
horse is, that he can think of only one
thing at a time, and having made up
his mind not to go, my theory is that
the bending of the leg takes his mind
from the original thought. There
have been some barbarously cruel
methods resorted to to make balky
horse go its way, such as filling the
mouth with sand, severely beating the
horse or, as in one recent case, cu:-
ting out his tongue. The human
societies would have their hands full
to care for all these cruelties to ami
mails. If they only knew, the owners
Of horses would adopt my treatment.
and there would be no trouble with
the erst-while troublesome balky
horses .4nimdl Friends.

The New .Justice.

We must not infer because we are not
we'll acquainted with him that the new
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States just appointed by President
HARRIsoS is not qualified for that high
position. He may be as learned in the law
az our own Ran. TUcKER. He may prove
TO be q second JOHN MARSHALL if he ever
gets to be Chief Justice of the United
States.
We recollect the foolish utterances OF
the New York press when Mr.. WAITE was
appointed Chief Justice. The New York
editors thought that the President had
made mistake in not appointing WILLIAM
M. EvARrs or some other lawyer well
known to them. The New York papers
are the most provincial in the land, if pro-
vinciaism consists in firmly believing that
the persons who do not live where we live
have not half the knowledge Of law, medi-
cine, or theology that we possess.
| Yes, the Hon. GEORGE SHIRas. Jr.. OF
Pennsylvania, may yet show abilities
which will cause all his countrymen to
| rise up and call MIN one of the greatest OF
| justices. He may rival STORY if not MAR
SHALL.
We hope that the justice next appointed
