In settling with the Collector this
week, the court finds that the Duly
school district had the smallest delin-
quent school tax-s6 cents-and the
Fry district, southwest of town, the
next smallest-94 cents. Taking into
consideration the hard times, the peo-
pie of Audrain County deserve great
credit for having paid their taxes so
closely. However, they have learned
at least that it is cheaper to borrow
money to pay debts than it is to pay
the penalty prescribed by law for de-
linquents.

A PREHISTORIC HORSE.

Ssseu Bsmsiss That Are 1oanA n tie
Rockies.
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, of the
American Museum of Natural History,
in the Century describes the remarka-
BILE fossil remains that are found near
Bridgcr Lake, in the Rockies. He says:
If we leave the lake shore, and pass
into the drier upland, we discover the
clever little four-toed horse, swift, alert,
Intelligent. He is, to use the modern
measure, only four hands, or 16 inches,
high, so he would not reach the knee of
the Uintathere, and could be devoured
at one sitting by the Patriofelis. His
limbs are as slender as pencils. His
large eyes are much farther forward
than in the horse. He could readily
hide among the taller stalks, and it is
possible that he had the beginning of
protective stripes initiating reed shad-
Ows upon his neck and name. In his
hair and coloring, however, we pass into
pure conjecture. His well-worn chisel-
shaped front teeth indicate that he was
already cropper or browser, and the
evident secret of his triumphant per.
sistence over his ponderous contem-
poraries 10 that he learned to browse
just about the time that grasses began
to appear. He was the animal Of the
times.
