An Invention That Promises Great Relief
to Overburdencd Horses.

An Invention That Promises Great Relief
to Overburdencd Horses.
Of course the transportation exhibit at
the Worlds fair includes hundreds of speci-
mems of harness for horses, and equally of
course some of the suggested improvements
look rather queer. Among these is n
English invention, said to be the result Of a
large number of experiments and based
upon the theory that a horses power to
thrust his body forward and exert a tract
i've force depends largely upon the friction
of his feet with the road-what railroad en-
gineers call adhesion to the track"
In one experiment Chief Shaw of the
London fire department hitched a horse to
a cart containing 1900 pounds of sand in
bags, which weight the horse drew with
ease on the level, but could not bulge up
a rather steep hill. Thereupon two bags of
the sand were taken out of the cart and
placed on the horses back, and he drew
the load up the hill with little difficulty.
The explanation is simple. The horse had
ample strength for the task, but could not
''hold himself down to the track"
Following out this principle, the new IN
vention is so designed that when the wagon
is on a level road the shaft bears upward
with moderate force, Tightening the belly

Miss Trella Foltz-Toland Of San Fran
cisco, u clever little actress, has evidently
been reading that interesting and popular
book called .Black Beauty, tho Autobiog-
Of a Horse" At any rate, animated
by a very humane sentiment imbibed some
where, she has started out or a sort of sin
gle handed crusade against cruelty to
horses which has already won her thenick-
name "Checkrein Trella" and astonished
the people of some of the western cities in
which she has been acting. Miss Trella
considers checkreins and binders on horses
positive instruments of torture and makes
a practice Of slipping the check off every
horse she can reach and persuading the
drivers to give up the use of binders.
She does not think any n can doubt
that u checkline causes a horse to suffer.
"Of course it does,' she says, land espe-
cially in a city where there are hills and
there is a heavy load in the wagon. It's
simply awful, and ] can't stand by and see
it go on. Whenever I come across a poor
suffering brute with his great, handsome
head jerked back until the veins stand out

like immense cords on his neck, | just go
up and slip the rein off the check. I don't
care who is looking, not even the owner.
Sometimes I have to meet the wrath of the
drivers, but that's nothing. / just stand
my ground and tell them how cruel it is,
and usually they believe me-"
Miss Foltz thinks she must have dropped
100 checklines in Kansas City and Denver,
and she got O letter of thanks for it from
the president of the Kansas City Humane
society. She saw a peddler one day driv-
ing q jaded looking animal, tightly
checked, up a hill, and this is how she de-
scribes what took place:
sit was pitiful to see the wretched ami
NAL trying to drop his poor tired head. and
he almost seemed to say that he wanted to
stretch his neck. lust couldn't stand it,
and / walked up and threw the checkrein
off. The peddler looked very black and
asked noe what I vas doing. I told him
| had taken the checkrein off. That's
my horse he said. I told him I knew it
and then asked him how he would like to
pull a heavy load up a hill with his head
pulled back on his shoulders. He had to
admit that he wouldn't like it at all, and
then / showed him the eyes of the horse.
They were sore and flowing. That's be-
cause you have those blinds on I said.
Well, the poor man didn't know, I sup
pose, because he said he only had the horse
three weeks
In Leadville she was out walking with
two other ladies, she says, land we saw a
man about a block off beating a lovely big
fellow of a horse with the butt of a whip.
Do you know all the blood in my body
seemed to rush to my head, and I ran the
whole block shrieking to the man to stop
beating the poor thing. Isdppose / must
have looked like a mad woman, because he
stopped, although he was terribly angry.
He told me the poor thing wouldn't go up
to a pile of quartz there, and he was whip
ping him to make him go. l went up and
talked to that horse kindly and soothed
him, and in five minutes we coaxed him to
go just where the driver wanted him. It's
always SO. You can do anything with a
horse if you treat him right"

The following decision rendered by the
