Spaying Mares.

The Montana experiment station
has begun experiments in spaylng
mares, of which it says: "Hcrctofore
this operation has been performed
chiefly in isolated cases of disease or
vice. 1t is now proposed with our
over-production as an economic meas
ure to limit the production and con-
troll in measure the quality Of our
horses and render more valuable for
work purposes those operated upon.
''It is believed that spayed mares
will prove more tractable and kind
than open mares during their periods
of cheat that they will escape the
loss of flesh and condition which open
mares undergo at this period; that
they will prove neater and cleaner IN
the stable than geldings and be free
from the annoying accumulations OF
dirt in the sheath of the latter, and
that in every sense they will be equal,
if not superior, to geldings in form,
symmetry, courage, endurance and all
essentials that 60 to make up SER
yiccable horse.
';In addition to these expected ad-
vartages, it is evident that mares not
intended for breeding purposes are
free from the danger of accidental
impregnation by mongrel stations
which infest so many Of our ranches.
A number have already been spayed
with apparently no greater danger than
castrating colts, and it is desired to
continue the experiments on a number
of good mares in lots of twenty to
thirty each free of charge to such
owners as will take sufficient interest
in the matter to afterwards handle the
animals and report the results.

Mcclellan and Lee.

Ofenses Of certain kind may be
so handsomely atoned for as to leave
the offended almost glad to have been
the victim Of them. A good example
of this is found in story reported by
the Baltimore Sun, as related by Gen
eral Mcclellan.
''It was near the City Of Mexico
during the Mexican wal" said General
Mcclellan, "that I first met my future
great opposing commander. | was
lieutenant of engineers, and Lee was a
major of engineers, and a favorite on
the staff Of General Winfield Scott. I
was walking alone across field one
day, when l saw General Scott and his
staff approaching on horseback. As
the party drew near, Major Lee reined
up his horse, and addressing me in IN
angry tone, said:
"'Lieutenant, don't you know you
are disobeying orders2 What is your

'I told him my name was McClellan,
and that / did not know I was diso-
beying orders.
"'All officers have been told to re-
main in their quarters and await

very angry.
II replied that no such order had
reached me, and he then peremptorily
ordered me back to my quarters, and
hastened away to join General Scott
and the rest of the staff, who had aot
stopped.
Il returned across the field 10 my
quarters, feeling much injured, for I
had not knowingly committed any
breach of discipline. Icemplained to
my fellow-oficers of Major Lees

finished my story when I was told that
there was an officer outside who wish
ed to see me, and was greatly sur
prised to find Major Lee seated there
upon his horse. He saluted, and [
returned the salute.

and I-have come to express to you the
regret which, under the circumstances,

away, leaving me lost in admiration o.

He Remembered.

North Carolina probably never pro-
duced an ADLER preacher than Dr..
Francis L. Hawkes., who a quarter Of
a century ago was pastor of Grace
Episcopal church, New York. Short,
thick-set, swarthy, black-eyed and
black haired, he was striking per-
sonage. He was not only great pull
pit orator, but considered the best
reader in the New York episcopacy.
His rather luxurious family deferred
him from accepting'a bishopric, which
would otherwise have been rendered.
One day a delegation from Buffalo
church waited upon him, and invited
him to accept pastorate in that city.
"Well, gentlemen. other things
being satisfactory, the question Of
acceptance narrows down to business
matter said DR.. Hawkes.. "What
salary do you offer p
CDR. Hawkes." said the spokes-
man, "we recognize that you have a
high reputation, and are willing to be
liberal. Our recent pastor has re-
ceived $1,000, but on account of your
standing we have decided to offer you
$1,000
sMy good man." cried the doctor,
"do you know what salary | am re-
cciving here p
"No, sir.
II get SIS, 900 and this parsonage !;
and as I have an expensive family, l
do not see my way clear to accept
your offer.
The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but made another essay:
'If we had known that fact, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done !;
and as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravens. -
"Now, my Friends" responded the
clergyman, quizzically, "I have made
the Bible my study ever since l was
%. | have read it through carefully

fectly, but nowhere can l find any
reference to the lord providing for

EASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of
Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recog-
nized and will never be forgotten by
those who have heard it, The time
to act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear. Even
after the croupy cough has developed
it will prevent the attack. There is
no danger in giving this remedy for it
contains nothing injurious. For sale

INVOLVES A TELESCOPE.
Rehearing Ordered by the Supreme
Court in the Case of Spence
Against Widuey.

The Supreme Court has granted a re-
hearing in the matter of Anna NJ. Spence,
executrix of the last will of E. F. Spe nee,
deceased, against Wiiney and others, re-
versing the decision of October 16 last.
Spence decided lands to board of trustees,
to provide an extensive astronomical OBJ
servatory and equipment for the Univer-
sity of Southern California. Spence was
one of the trustees. The necessary funds
were not raised to meet the payments for
lenses for the great telescope as they ar
rived from Europe. and after some deliber-
alton it was decided to sell them to the
University of Chicago. where they now
are. Mrs. Spence wants to obtain posses
sion of the land. The case was decided
just about one month ago, but, on petit
tion, q rehearing has been ordered before
the court in bank. Whether the University
of Southern California will ever get teles-
copic facilities from the Spence property
is still uncertain.

A New Lifehoat.

Major Blakeney of the life-savirg service
called for bids for the construction of another
boat for the life-saving station at Golden Cote
Park. 1t is to be self bailing and self-righting
and twenty-elght feet long. The present boat
is too heavy to pull over the beach sands. The
new boat will weigh little over ton. The
old boat, which is one OF the best on the coast
will probably be sent to the new Point Bonita
station when the station is built 1t can there
be launched from the ways, which will be SIM
liar in many respects to those at the Presidio.
The new boat will be built after the model OF
the old boat.
