A HORSE STORY,

VIII ch Shows How Well tho Barbarian
Arab Treats His Horse,
The Arab, a barbarian in our opinion,
has the greatest contempt for the way in
which Christians, as they call Europeans,
treat and train horses. Il ,ok at our
horses and look at yours" say the horse
dealers Of the desert What we do in a
single day in distance you take five or six
days to accomplish. Grand marches you
Christians make with your hOrses AS
far as from my nose to my earl'
A very amusing story is told of a learned
man, Abou-Obeida, who was a contem-
porary of Mamoun. the son of the famous
Haroun-al- -Raschid. Like other Arabians,
he had written numerous volumes upon
the qualities, colors and virtues of the
horse. One day at the Court of Mamoun,
the Grand Vizier asked a celebrated Arab
poet who was present how many books he
had written upon the horse.
"Only one, = replied the poet.
Then the Vizier put the same question
to Abou-Obeida.
Fifty" was the answer.
Rise, then" said the Vizier go up
to that horse in his sta |; repeat the name
of every part of his frame, taking care to
point out the position of each"
II am not veterinary surgeon SIR
answered Abou-Obeida
Rise, and do the same, " said the Vizier
to the poet
The poet rose from his seat, took the
animal by the forelock, and named each
part as he placed his hand on it to indi-
cate it's position. At the same time he re.
cited all the poetical allusions and the
sayings and proverbs OF the Arabs re-
ferring to it.
When he had finished, the Vizier said to
him, Take tine horse; he is yours."-

CITY HALL HALT.
No Bonds, No Cash, No Contracts
Bids All Ignored.

The City Hall Commissioners have
come to- full stop. They dare not pro-
ceed, because of "call down" from the
Finance Commissioners.
1t will be remembered that the City
HALL Commission, at its last meetiRg,
adopted resolution requesting
the. Board of Finance to is
sue bonds amounting to $3.50. 900,
and apportion it as required by the City
Hall Commission The Board of Finance
pigeon holed the resolution, and it's reason
Tor so doing was made pubic this morn
lug. The members are afraid to MAKE
any effort 10 float such a sum of the citV's
bonds vt this time. owing to the strin.
geucy. of the market. 1t is feared tnat
Nu offer for the bonds, if any was re-
csived. might be below par. II such a
thing occurred 1t was thought it would
be damaging to the general credit Of the
city.
The City Hall Commissioners are aware
of these fears. and this morning they re-
turned TO the bidders their certified
checks of security and D postponed further
action in the City Hall matter indefi-
nitely.
This action has caused considerable un-
favorable comment, aud property owners
fear more than ever that they will bs
gray before the Hall is reality.

WATCHING THE COMET.

BOSTON. July 10, 1923. The condit ion
of the weather last night was not satis-
factory for observing the new comet
discovered by Rordame, and it was not
possible at the Cum bridge lhsarVatnrg.
to make very definitivs scrutiny of
it. Professor Wendell endeavored to
photograph it. however. Three good
photographs were taken Sunday evening,
in whicn the tail of the comet is shown
divided or rified. Last night
Professor Wendell said that
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
conditions, the comet showed "a sharp
nucleus decidedly brighter than the
adjacent portions: that Is the nucleus
was surrounded by bright coma"
The comet is moving easrerly at q rate
of over half an hour daily in the right
ascension and southerly at about
one minute, five degrees in declination
On account of its rapid easterly motion it
will be somewhat higher above the
northwestern horizon with each succeed
ing night for short time. so that it is
likely TO become brighter. providing its
intrinsic light does no correspondinglY
diminish.
The comet was visible last night to the
naked eye as hazy star, above the
northwestern horizon as nine O'clock or
little earlier. 1t was more distinct
later, but somewhat lower down. Tho
length of the tail was expressed by the
professor as ten or eleven degrees, about
81 magnitude.

pair of trousers but they did not fit and
he would nat take them. Two men the
came into the store aud talked with Sar-
noff. and while one of them was gone for
a can of beer the camplainonant left.

A CAR FELL ON HIM.

NEW YORK. July II. 1s9S.-A passenger
coach OF the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad fell on Corn elius
Keefe, laborer, twenty-five wears old,
aud unmarried. in the Grand Central
station at four O'Clock this morning, and
crushed his head to a shapeless mass,
killing him Instantly. The accident was
peculiar one. Last night number Of
|, empty passenger cars were backed down
into the main shed OF the depot to MAKE
up train. They were run at such a
high rate of speed that two of sthem
were telescoped when they struck the
bumpers. Workmen were put TO work
jacking up the cars to remove the broken
tracks. Keefe was at work under one of
the cars, one end of which had been
raised by the jack screws, when it fell on
him and crushed him to death.
