The Army From which Uncle Sam May
Draw should Occasion Require.
An army Of 1900, 900 men! How
Napoleon's legions dwindle beside
this and the hosts which Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan led shrink to pyg-
mics. This enormous figure repre-
sents the number Of ablebodied men
in the United States available for
military purposes. But OF course no
such swarm Of fighters could ever be
modified in this or any other coun-
try.
1t would overtax even American
energy and resource to clothe and
feed and arm them and maintain
them in idleness. The figures have
no practical military value, but as a
suggestion of the mighty war poten-
tialities of the young republic they
are not without their interest to the
world. But when we come to emu
merate the men actually under arms

disciplined soldiers we realize oul

Exciting Experience of ~ Cool Man In
Railroad Disaster.
There isn't anything in the world
that know. said an extensive trav-
eler, that makes man lose his
senses SO completely as being tumbled
over and over in a falling car, and
yet met a man once who seemed
the personification Of GOODNESS in just
such situation. As soon rs our car
left the track we were all shot from
our berths in various directions, be
ing tumbled up and down and around
as the car kept on turning somer-
saults. Like the people l read about,
we landed in the water, and when
the car came to standstill after its
terrifying humping and crashing
was so frightened that could scarce
ly move my arms to keep my head
above water.
Near me, however, was man
who kept his head.
Don't splash around so, he said.
You'll cut yourself. The car is full
If broken glass, lamps, wrenched
rods and rails. and you'll hack your
self to pieces.
But l thought was drowning,
and shouted my fears to HIM.
"'Oh, no, he said, we are not
drowning. Well get out OF this east
'lly.'
But it was not SO easy to escape
as my cool friend assured me- The
whole inside work had been shat
tered, and there was nothing by
which we could climb to the win
dows, which were high above us, as
our car was overturned, lying on its
roof.
I'VE made SO many efforts to jump
up, always falling back into the wa

friend, however, kept on encourag
ing me.

Hood ys. Speed Breeders Gazette.

No less person than the Duke of Westminster has been trying to con. vince the people of England that blood lines without the ablitp to perform are good thing to bank on in horses. but he has found the scheme q losing one and has given it up. The Duke was the breeder of the famous OrmOn- de, the kiug of his day on the turf, and and that was sold for sl50.O00, the highest price ever paid for a horse.
 The Duke also bred full brother to Ormonde, but he was not racer. His limbs were sound, wind good, he was physically perfect in every way but he lacked speed. His owner thought he would convince the public that it was good idea to breed mares to this horse, Arklow by name, because he was brother to Ormonde. The last named was the sire of Orme, great winner as a two and three-year.Old. So the Duke put Arklow in the stud at fee of $500, bred the dam of Orme to him in order to show his own con- fidence in the game, and waited for the rest of the people to send mares to the brother of Ormonde. But they failed to send any. The English baceder is pretty level headed Ii was rcely admitted by him that being a brother to great horse was a good thing in it's way, but he did not think well enough of it to pay high service fee to horse simply because be sus tained such relationship, and for no other reason. Consequently no mares came. The Duke scld ArkIow for whatever he could get, and now the brother to Ormnnde is standing fJr a fee of $50 or exactly one-tenth of what was asked for his services when it was endeayered to boost him on account of what some other member of qis fami!y had accomplished. Some people, e,resi- dents of the Cnites States. might learn thing or two from the experiences of the Duke of Westminster. They eau at least set it down ou the first page of their books that horse which does not have speed Is not anywhere as near as likely to produce that quality in his progeny as one that races. A side note to the effect that the public has fully digested this fact might also be made.
