Thepeoples of the old world look upon

nothing which savors of antiquity. We
have ignored, and many of us have de-

sighted people in America to-day who
are building monuments for the fu-

be better appreciated when this con

civilized. There will come a time when
boys and girls will not only study the

BLIND, BUT NOT HELPLESS
How He Cares for Hi Sightless and
Paralyzed Wife.

Kokomo has blind couple in Will
liam Brinkman and wife, who were
both educated at the State Institute
for the Blind at Indianapolis. The
couple keep house to themselves, with
no help. Mr.. Brinkman is an expert
piano tuner, and is also an adept at
clock repairing and broom making.
In fact, he can turn his hand to al
most anything in the mechanical line.
The front room of the Brinkman
home is used as a store and workshop.
On the shelves is long row of clocks
the blind man has mended, and he
makes many a nickel selling sta
tionery and candy to the school
children. Among Mr.. Brinkman's
other accomplishments he has a rec
ord as a Splinter and rides bicycle.
With a companion on a wheel by
his side or in the lead, he can ride all
day and quit as fresh as his partner.
Brinkman lost his sight when five
years old, measles and complications
being responsible. In 1869 the fami-
ly removed to Indianapolis, where his
mother still lives, his father being
dead. Soon after attending the
school for the blind at the state capt.
tai, a little blind girl named Jennie
Lamb, from Russellville, west of Ko-
komo, entered the same institution.
From the first meeting of the blind
children, then II years of age, an at
tachment sprang up that resulted in
their marriage 10 years later.
Mrs. Brinkman is an elocutionist
of rare ability, and after graduating,
travelled two years in the south and
west, delivering lectures and recita-
tons For a short time she taught
an Indian school in Indian territory.
She is skilled in fancy work and
operates a sewing machine easily.
For three years the gifted blind
woman has been absolutely helpless,
lying in her bed or in her wheel chair
unable to move hand or foot. Mr..
Brinkman has the whole care of his
he'll less wife, does all the homework,
including the cooking, besides finding
time to wait on customers in his little
store, answers calls to tune pianos
and repair clocks and umbrellas, and
peddle candy and popcorn on the
streets.

KIng oeorge in AthIetlcs.

King George, in the earlier days Of
his reign, was very fond of athletic
sports, and occasionally entered run
ming and leaping contests under an
assumed name. He won many cups
and other trophies in these games, Of
which he is now very proud. On one
occasion, the crowd became convinced
that he was a professional, and hewas
in danger Of being roughly handled,
when he confessed his identity to a
police officer, who managed TO get
him away to a place Of safety

HORSES FOR JAPAE'S MARKET
Probability That the Orient viii Take
Americas Surplus Supply


Probability That the Orient viii Take
Americas Surplus Supply.
It is more than probable that
new market is about to be opened for
the great herds Of range horses Of the
Pacific coast Since the close of the
Chino-Japanese war the Japanese
government has been recognizing
its army, and from now on large
cavalry force is to be maintained.
Previous to the war the japanese
cavalry was about 10000 strong, and
was supplied from government horse
breeding establishments. When,
however, at the outbreak of hostil-
tiles drafts were made upon these es-
adjustments it was found that only
five per cent. Of the animals were real
ly serviceable.
The native Japanese horses are too
small, it seems, for use in war, and the
government found that in actual
service the animals raised by crossing
imported blooded stock with native
lacked theendurance requisite for the
country and cavalry usages. High
class stations were imported from
Australia and from the north of Ire
land, but thus far all such importa-
tions have proved unsatisfactory, in
asmuch as the government has been
unable to raise horses that can endure
the climate.
Australian breeders sent to Japan
some high-class fancy stock, but the
animals proved to be too big and too
expensive, as did also Kentucky
horses which were purchased by the
japanese government. Officials at
Toxic have recently been consider
ing the small, weedy range animals
of Australia, and it is said that when
United States Consul Bell, at Mel
bourne, learned Of this fact he called
attention to the American range
horses as being even better suited to
the needs Of the japanese govern
ment.
Several japanese residents in this
city, who are considered authorities
on the matter, and who have made a
study of japanese horses and the
japanese people as horsemen, are en-
phatic in their Endorsement of the
American range horse. President
Tetsutaro Aoli, Of the Yokohama
Specie bank of this city, said the other
day that undoubtedly the American
horse will fill all requirements.
"Ihe horse most suitable for the
japanese cavalry" he said, SHOULD
be as tough as a rawhide, not over
gentle and not too dainty in the mat
ter of fodder. Iwould unhesitating-
ly recommend that the best horses
for the home government could be
selected from the herds that thrive
so well on the plains Of eastern Wash
ington, in Oregon, California anc
other mountain states. 1t only re
mains for those mostly interested tC
