PAGER, has more of the typical formation
Of a trotter than of his pacing class
And I might say here that the pacing
formation is essentially that OF trot-

particularly Of dropping rurnP. But
our fastest PAGERS cen almost all be
traced back to Hamiltouian, and IL
clude in this generalization both Flying
Jib and Direct. But the trotter is not
really an established type. The old
saying concerning a trotter, The trots IN
all shapes" still holds good But we
are approaching a type, and that very
rapidly. Senator Stanford and others
have done much to bring this change
about. aud the lover Of the horse has
much to thank these men for.

the inside history Of the Coeur d'Alene
strike, and es far as am able to learn
St was certainly one of the greatest
outrages of the century. The develop
rnents at the federation meeting will
show to the satisfaction of the peopie
that the troops shot down miners
offensive, always on the defen-
sive. And now see that Judge
BeaIly, of Idaho, has enjoined
miners from holding meetings, an in
f-ingement Of their constitutional priv
ileges, if ever there was such an infrac-
ton. Nor Will the Cesur d'Alene strike
be the only one up for thorough discus
sion. The strikes in Tennessee, brought
about by vicious convict contract sys-
tenn, Will be thoroughly investigated. So
viii the affairs at Buffalo and Home
stead. Aud, by the way, the fact that the
strike in the latter place has been called
off will in no way interfere with the
general observance of December Ii as
Homestead day, the day on which the
wage earners of the country will be
asked to contribute something to the
destitute in the Pennsylvania town.
THE strengthening Of the existing
labor organizations will claim our at

Mr.. Gonoers referred incidentally to

Mr.. Com oers referred incidentally to
2 number of needed internal changes
which were of Importance only to the
members of the federation. The repre-
sentation in the convention will be
larger than ever. Many new organiza-
tons have been recently organized,
notably that OF street car conductors
and motor men; and all of these viii
have their delegates on hand
There ig every indication that the
resolutions directed against the Pinker-
ton system are already framed and are
long and of a stirring nature. They re-
view in detail every one of the seventy
strikes in which Pinkertons were called
upon to interfere. They call attention
TO these repeated reasonable transac-
lions Of employers and ask for such leg
islation as will prevent repetition of
the Homestead and other like affairs.
The evidence given before the senate
committee during its recent investiga-
ton Of the Homestead strike is utilized,
and large amount of testimony against
EMPLOYERS and Pinlkertons is deducted
thercfrom.
Among the delegates will be group
representing the Tennessee miners,
land the resolutions on the troubles in
that state hinge altogether ON the
charge of miserable perversion Of the
law and a breach of faith on the part of
the state government" The miner del
crates of Tennessee have already out
lined the legislation they need in their
state, and for this programme they viii
ask the Endorsement Of the federation.
The headquarters Of the executive
council will be at the Girard house, and
there the credentials will be passed up
On
The present executive council com.
prises Samuel Gompers, president: P. J.
Mcclure, first vice president; William
A. Carney, second vice president; Chris.
Evans, secretary, and John 3. Lennon,
treasurer.
All of these will probably be re
elected, although there is some talk Of
a change in the vice presidencies, and
should the great railroad labor organic
atoms decide to join they viii certainly
! be honored by one of these Offices The
reelection of President Gompers is :
foregone conclusion.

Rather Dangerous Sport for Hunters That
Are Not Wary.
A few days ago a Californian left the
big brickyard, near Anderson, for a
quail hunt along the banks of the
Sacramento river. Under cover of
brush he discovered a nice flock of
birds, but when he raised his gun to
have a shot they disappeared. he felt
satisfied that there were quite num-
BIER under a particular bush, and he
blazed away
The noisy futtering which followed
told him the result, and he ran for his
prize, and just as be was reaching ont
his hand to catch a wounded quail he
was suddenly shocked TO discover an
enormous rattlesnalze in the line of the
bird. The man, although weighing
nearly three hundred pounds. jumped
backward six feet from the brush, and
then gained his breath lie approached
the birds again, with his gun cooked
and ready for aSuddcn shot, and learned
that the snake was dead When he
fred at the birds he killed the snake
md six quail, although none Of the
birds or the serpent were in view. The
snake had eight rattlers and n button
and was three and half feet in length

Horses in Various CIasses-The Com

Makes q Perfect Hackney.
COPYRIGHT, 1922
Did yuu ever buy a horse?

Did you ever buy horse?
Did it ever strike you that you
couldn't tell runner from trotter, or
hackney from pony, or a coach
horse from a PAGER? And yet there are
points about fine horses that mark each
as typical of a class
The distinctions in breeds are many,
and the eye of good horseman can
class an animal the moment he catches
a glimpse of it, He judges it by confor-
nation, by action, by size, by DISPOSE
ton. He can tell in an instant If a
horse is ''bloodlil1e," and by the con-
tour Of the head can almost call OF the
pedigree. The thorough or running
bred horse is best judged in his racing
form. He is tighter boned than the
trotter, Grin fact than the horses OF any
other breed, moro nervous in DISPOSE
ton, higher strung and has cleaner
and finer look. He has what in racing
parlance we term "bloodike" look.
When used for breeding purposes his
form is different and he is somewhat
more difficult TO judge. But in racing
form his fine ears, we'll conformed
head, light neck, the fine coat on his
body and the lack Of hair on the fet-
locks tell you on the instant that he
can trace his ancestry down through
seven or more generations of thorough
bred lines. l consider Don Alonzo, who
sold recently for thirty thousand dol
lars, the finest type of this class l
know Of Eurus is another fine type Of
the class Then, too, the action tells
you the difference. In the thorough
