New Use. for old Hor,e..

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Every one of your readers must have read
the interesting sketch "A Plea for the
Horse" by "Old Montgomery" of Shannon
dale, in recent issue, in which, as your
head says, l''Regret is expressed that mod
ern inventions are pushing him TO the rear
Its author must have overlooked-at least
he failed TO mention-two modern inven-
TONS that are fast pushing him to the
front, viz, hipppophagi and the anti-toxine
diphtheria cure. The former, it is true
may not be really a modern invention.
but rather modern adoption, if we are to
believe your recent dispatches from Ham,
mond, near meat-producing Chicago, where
large numbers of horses are being pre-
pared for such utilization 0o say nothing
OF the news from Nevada, that large mum.
bers of horses are being slaughtered solely
as food for hogs) And the latter the new
anti-toxine, bids fair 10 utilize all the
spare horses of the world as the living
vehicle for the production of the medcated
serum, much as so many conSumptive cows
have in the past been pressed into service
for the production of pus TO be superstit.ous-
~ used as a charm against smallpox. 1t Is
to be hoped that if the horse product can
in the future show no Better success
in its line of use than the cow product has
shown In its ninety-five years career, the
former will not prove so dangerous and
deadly to the human race as history shows
the latter to have been.

for a pale olive frame combined with gill

some OF the Braun photographs OF Napoleon

they are either perfectly plain or have

nobleman. who gave ii to a Pennsylvania

and who received the coat as a present
after surveying railroad in Russia. The
coat was all the security the engineer could
give on a debt of $1,000. The coat, when
given for this debt, passed into the fam

The coat originally cost about $500. 1t Is
