cruiser Columbia and the battleships Indiana
and Massachusetts. Many well-known
men and women were present, and in honor
of their State there was a large party of
Minnesotans in attendance. Among the
visitors from Washington were Vice

United States Senator Washburn, of Mime
sofa, and his wife and daughter the men,
bers of the Senate and House Committees on
Naval Affairs. Senators Mcpherson, Butler,

sent to all the city officials of Minneapolis.
The launch was as successful as all its pre-
decessors at Crampss have been. There was
not hitch. and when the great hull was re-
leased from its captivity at 2.23 p. m. it
fairly leaped toward the water and with the

: an.Crd's Consideration !Cr The Horse.
IN employing men to work at Palo
Alto. the late Senator Stanford, OF
California, gave them the most strict
orders They were told never to
strike, kick, or whip a horse, and his
instructions 20 his men were: cal
ways do thing a little better than
ANYBODY else, and you will succeed.
When You haddie horse, treat him
little better than any one else. When
you breed a horse, breed him to q
little better stock each time"
It was in this way that Stanford
revoIutionized the horse-breeding of
the country. He never allowed one
of his men to ill-use horse, and they
knew it. There are never noise or
blows around the PalO Alto stables,
and the horses are never frightened.
To show his feeling toward his horses,
the late Henry Vrooman once told of
an occurrence when lie was dining
with Senator Stanford. Just after the
dinner, one of the drivers insisted that
he must see the Senator. He was
ushered in, with blood over his face,
which WAS badly cut. John knocked
me down." explained the man, re-
ferring to one of the trainers.
"What did you DOE" asked tho
Senator.
Nothing replied the man.
E'But you must have done some
thing; want the TRUTH" persisted
the Senator.
clicked horse, and John knocked
me down." said the man.
"Those were Johns instructions,
and I think he did just right, said
the Senator.

And everyone does all he can;
