Give Us Kentucky Saddle Horses.

The people in early days largely de-
pended upon horseback riding for long
distance travel as we'll as for short trips;
hence they encouraged breeds of horses
which could carry their burdens with
ease, both to themselves and the rider.
The saddlers of that early period were
not the stylish and finished steppers of
this. The best horses for the purpose
were brought from Canada, where the
pace or ambling gait had been most en-
couraged, while Virginia and the south
Atlantic states had given more attention
to the ace horse. The Canadians were
said to be a of the early French
stock with the stations obtained from
New York and New England. They
combined the hardness and perhaps the
gaits of the former with the better size
of the latter.
When Kentucky was growing into
statehood, away back in the thirties, two
classes of horses mainly were imported
into her territory to grow up and fatten
on the succulent blue grass. They were
the thoroughbred and half blood from
Virginia and now and then a PAGER from
Canada. Naturally these were crossed,
because many people did not care to
keep up the breeding of race horses, and
the cross produced q more useful animal.
particularly for saddle purposes.
The taste for a real saddle horse is vi
tiated some these days by a class of
professors from England and Ger
many, who conduct riding schools in
eastern cities. They know nothing of
the delight of horseback riding proper.
They have perhaps never mounted a sad
die horse of the western type and there
fore make the most of what they know
about the saddle horse. There is another
reason for their adoption of the high
trotting horse in their schools.
Many of the eastern riders are driven
to horseback as a relief from the ills of
counting houses. Hence they expect to
lind it in the high stepping trot. They
are misguided and will find in the end
that the ease of body and mind given by
a morning ride on q gated saddle horse
will prove more beneficial than the vio-
lent jolting they get On the back Of the
school horse. Still it is not the province
OF western horsemen to dictate to their
patrons. Our saddle horses are capable
OF taking on the trot if need be, and
they will be 80 educated while the craze
lasts, but here's hoping that it won't be
long. Mounting the eastern hackneys
for a saddle horse is like getting out of a
line buggy and taking an OK cart.-The
HOrseman.

The Etiquette Of Small Packages.

Generally speaking small packages are
gentccl, but there IRE exceptions to TINS
rulc-for instance, a toothbrush, or a bot
tie of medicine, OF a paper of pins. ANY
package which has a plebeian or p%ractlc''i
suggestion about it is vulgar. This is the
reason why a m will have n single
yard of cloth or a pair of corsets sent three
miles in u delivery wagon rather than carry
the package home with her in the stree'
cars.-kate Fields Washington.

NANCY LEE. DAN OF NANCY HANKS.
A writer in The American Agriculture
list says of Nancy Lee:
She was foaled in 1878 and is by Die
tator; dam Sophy by Edwin Forrest: Sec
ond dam by Brown Pilot; third dam by
Lance: fourth dam by Bertrand. She
was bred by Hart Boswell, Lexington,
Ky. She was broken at 2 years old, was
good gated and showed indications of
speed, but was bred at 4 years old and
has produced a foal each year, with one
exception, since. Her third foal, born
in 1886, was the brown illy by Happy
Medium, which has become famous as
Nancy Hanks, the trotting queen. Nan
cy Lee is now in foal to STEAMBOAT.

Especial Correspondence
CowEs, Isle of Wight. Sept. 1s.-While
Englishmen, one and all, are congratulate
ing each other upon the successive victories
of the Prince of Wales crack yacht Bri-
tannia over the American Navahoe in the
races recently sailed here, they are not so
sure of the result Of the contest about to
take place in American waters between the
Ealkyrie and the Nigilant, respectively rep
%resenting the Royal Yacht club of England
and that of New York.
They are not unmindful of the fact that
on a certain day in August, 1851, there
sailed into this harbor an unknown and un-
tried little vessel, now famous as the yacht
America. Throwing dow her challenge,
she entered a race with Is of the swiftest
yachts of which Britain could boast, out
sailed the whole feet of splendid competi-
tors by nearly eight miles and proudly bore
away "the cup of all nations" the trophy
offered by the queen. Nor nave they for.
gotten how from time to time the struggle
has been renewed for its recovery and fol-
lowed by disappointment. But with true
British grit they once more invite defeat.
That it may come, and come swiftly, is the
prayer of an American ''looker on here in
Vienna"
No Britisher dreamed that any nation
could produces yacht that would match
the beautiful vessels which cruised about
the English channel and visited the shores
OF the Mediterranean every summer as the
perfection of naval architecture. OF the II
yacht clubs then existing in various parts
of the United Kingdom, not one had ever
seen a foreigner enter the lists in the an
nual matches. 1t was barely known that
there was an imperial yacht club in st.
Petersburg, maintained by the imperial
treasury, to encourage a nautical spirit
among the nobility, and that a few own
ers of yachts at Rotterdam had enrolled
themselves as a club, but until the Amer
lea came over the few who were aware of
the fact that there was a hourishing club
in New York did not regard it as Of the
slightest consequence or as at all likely to
interfere with their monopoly of the glory
of the manifest of all sports. When, how
ever, her e%nterprising owners offered to
back the America against any other yacht
for the large sum of $4,000 or cup or piece
OF plate, their eyes We're opened.
On the day of the race, Aug. %, a large
portion of the British peerage and gentry
assembled to witness the struggle, and even
the queen of England did not deem the &C.
casion unworthy of her presence. Never
before had Cowes been such a center of
attraction. Upward of 100 yachts lay at
anchor in the Roads, the beach was crowd
ed, flags foated from the beautiful villas
that dot the wooded coast, while throngs
OF excursion steamers fitted about filled
with crowds who expected to witness the
discontinue of 1.-THE Yankee pilotboat."

If the civil authorities cannot and do
not attend to the needy, neglected chill
dren that 60 to swell the great lists of
crime, pauperism and insanity, then
Christian philanthropy should do it.
Christianity, thank God, is coming to be
more and more practical in it's aspect
and work. We are coming to feel more
and more that a religion that has every
thing for a future world and nothing
for this world, has nothing for either.
A religion that neglects this present
life, is mother who neglects her infant
with the expectation that manhood will
set everything right. :. Genuine good
ness is something more than mere
self-seeking for eternity. =. 1t is
a reaching out after the little children
of poverty and want-the hapless little
ones who have been hurled prematurely
against the life-wrecking problems Of
existence Help that can run to help
the helpless and comfort the comfort
less, always keeps closest by the side Of
God. Intensity of life is intensity Of
helpfulness. The great waiting world
understands good actions far more
readily than abstract doctrines.

PREVENTION VS.. CRIME.

Has not the state duty towards the
children of the poor? And if not,
would it not be an economical and bust
ness-like undertaking to take up, well
nurture and educate them in sound
mechanical trades and handicrafts :?
Surely it is cheaper and wiser to keep
the child for five or ten years and turn
it into the world fully equipped for
honest self-suppOrt, than to allow it to
grow up parasite to prey upon society.
1t would be very much better as we'll as
cheaper to rear it to usefulness than to
arrest it, try it, punish it, and keep it
in prison. In the one way you add a
wealth begetting unit to the potential
ty of the state, in the other you SUBJ
tract from the state part of its wealth
and further subtraction for its main
tenance. Such was probably the idea
set forth by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper in the
Worlds Congress of penologists when
she said:

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton, and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

The Behrng sea difficulty is amicably settled
by arbitration and another link is welded into
the chain which shall bind civilized nations to an
international peace. The exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States is denied upon the treaties
of 1924 and 1926; and that Great Britain has never
conceded any right to such exclusive authority
1t is decided the Behring sea to be part of the
Pacific ocean, On the fourth point the de-
cisiOn is that all interests which Russia had in
the seal fisheries passed to the United States.
On the fifth question it is decided that the Unit
ed States has no right beyond the three mile linn
it, And for this reason and to protect tine prop
erty of the interested parties, the arbitrator
formulate certain preservative regulations,
chief of which is absolute protection for the
seals on PribylOv islands and for zone of sixty
geographical miles around them. Seals are to
be protected in certain parts of Behring sea dur
ing the months of May. June and July. No
steamers or like machine propelled vessels
to engage in seal hunting and detailed record
of seals captured shall be kept by every vessel
Besides some minor details, the arbitrator fur
thief call upon the two governments to enact
Joint regulations for the proper enforcement of
these rules.
This decision saves the seals from wholesale
destruction, and is material, though not a tech
meal, victory for the United States for it limits
ocean sealing to narrow bounds.

not strain language any too much.

The two most conspicuous arguments in the

were made Monday and Tuesday. The first by
Senator Vest who champiOned the white metal
with so much more than his usual zeal and fervid
eloquence that the spirits of the silver men were
raised to high hope. But then Senator Hoar
stepped into the arena and with strong logic and
finished eloduence demonstrated the false foot
ing upon which the silver men stand. Yet it is
said that close count shows at present that re-
peal cannot pass the Senate. The Senate repre-
sents the wealth of the country; yet banks and
bankers are against silver. What is the eXplana-
ton of this anomaly?
