TENNESSEE HORSE TRADERS.
Their Devious Ways of Making Poor
Horses Sell Well

Horses Sell Well.
The first Monday of every month Is
horse-swapping day in Tennessee.
There are thousands of men who gain
their livelihood by their wits in this
business. The tricks of the Tennessee
horse traders are legion, and unless a
man is accustomed to horses it is folly
for him to depend upon his own knowl-
edge in dealing with the tricksters in
the horse markets of the State.
When a Tennessee horse trader wants
to make true-pulling horse balk, so he
can purchase him at low price, he
mixes cantharides and corrosive subli-
mate, and bribes the stable boy TO
bathe the horses shoulder with the mix
ture. One of the greatest frauds is to
make a good horse appear lame. The
professional trader takes single hair
from the tail, puts it through the eye of
needle, lifts the front leg, and presses
the skin between the outer and middle
tendons. Then he shoves the needle
through, cuts off the hair at each end
and let's the foot down. The horse goes
desires to make a horse stand by his
food and not eat it, he greases the front
teeth and the roof of the mouth with
beef tallow, and the horse will not eat
until it's mouth is washed out.
A horse is made to appear badly
foundered by the fastening Of a fine
wire tightly around its fetlock, between
the foot and heel. The wire is never
left on over nine hours. or the horse
would become permanently lame.
Many men buy nice-looking animals,
but by the time they get the horses
home find these to be badly afflicted
with the heaves. The trader has SIM
ply to force half pound of small shot
into a horses stomach to disguise the
heaves. A small quantity of melted
butter poured into the ear of q horse
will make the owner think the horse
has the glanders.
When a horse goes dead lame in one
shoulder the defect is always disguised
by similar lameness in the other
shoulder. This is done by taking off
the shoe and inserting bean between
it and the foot,
A lame horse is nerved to appear at
It's best by a small incision about half
way from the knee to the joint on the
outside of the leg. At the back part Of
the shinbone Is a small white tendon
which Is cut off and the external wound
Is closed with stitch. The horse will
then walk on the hardest pavement
and not limp. White horses are beautl-
fed with black spots often by the ap-
pllcation of powdered lime and litharge
boiled together When a professional
trainer finds man who wants hand
some horse he often produces star in
it's forehead by spreading warm pitch
on q piece of coarse towel Of just the
size of the star and applying it to the
part shaved. The pitch is left on for
three days, and then is washed away
with elixir of vitroil until the wound is
well. The hair thatagrows out is white.
An old horse is made to appear young
by filing down the teeth and removing
the dark markings with a hot iron. The
depressions over it's eyes are removed
by puncturing the skin over the cavi-
ties and filling them with air from the
mouth, forced In through tube.-New

woIseIey's Close Call.

On one occasion Lord Wolseley's life
was saved by Prince Victor of Hohen-
lohe, known as Count Gleichen. 1t was
in the Crimea, when young Wolseley,
badly wounded, was passed by the sur
geon as dead. Undisturbed by the sur
geon's remarks, Prince Victor tried to
extract a jagged piece of stone which
was sticking i'll the wound, and the
prince succeeded in restoring Wolseley,
for, after a little brandy had been
poured down his throat and more as
severations from the surgeon that he
was dead. he sat up and exclaimed, "No
more dead than you are, you foolr'-

Weaknesses from Sense

From the Times, Los AHaeies, Col.
Women suffer from certain diseases
peculiar to their sex. and usually have
great delicacy in speaking of such ills
just why. we cannot say. There
would seem to he no more reason for
silence in such matters than there Is
about the ordinary every day ills. Oc.
casionally, however,a woman of strong
sense is found, and is an exception to
the rule. Such one is Mrs. Rosie S.
Thompson. of 319 East First Street, Los
Angeles, Cal. This is what she saws.
For five or six years I was seriously
i'll with female complaint. could
not go about, | suffered intense pain.
and at times was hardly able to raise
myself up in bed. I was then living
in San Rernardino and l consulted a
physician who thought he could cure
mo. For seven months / was under
his care taking his prescriptions, but he
did me no good at all, and l grew
worse instead of better. Finally I
tried ar other physician and was
under his care for several months but
he did me no more coed than the first
one. tried all sorts of remedies
without any benfc1al effects.
Finally saw an advertisement of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and resolved to try them. I
began taking the pills. The effect
was wonderful. Almost Immediately
l began to improve. l have taken
these pills now for six or seven months
and l am entirely cured. had pre-
vlously tried every sort of remedy that
could think of, besides consulting many
doctors. and nothing helped me until
l took these pills. They are the best
remedy l ever used, and the only one
l would recommend. T am now as
we'll as | ever was in my life and have
had NO return of my complaint
Il make this statement voluntarily
and in the hope that it may lead others
now suffering as / suffered to try these
pills.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works OF San
Francisco, CAL. the largest builders of gas,
gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are
making extensive preparations for the

They are filling several orders for large
irrigating plants and as this line of their
business increases each season, it is safe to
say the farmers throughout the State are ap-
preciating the advantages of irrigation with
water pumped by this cheap power.
The Hercules Works are at present build

While the governor and Joe were
coming down on the train a man
came into buy newspaper. The
newsboy was out of the car and
the fellow took paper and handed
the governor q nickel to give to
the newsboy, which he did when
the latter came in. Thereupon Joe
Rich asked the boy if he knew that
the man who handed him the
nickel was the governor of Idaho.
The newsboy answered that he did
not know it. Then Joe told him
that he was, and further, that such
