The Gentleman From the Home OF
the Horse PrOmuIEntes Few Facts.
Zone reason" remarked the colonel to
company of interested listeners, that we
raise better horses in Kentucky than are
raised anywhere else on earth is that we
not only have the water that makes bone
because of the lime that is in it, and the
finest grass In the world, but we have all
over the Blue Grass region, where the
great horses come from. elevation of a
thousand feet and more above the sea-
which gives just the right kind of air for
horse to breathe to become the right kind
of horse. Did you ever hear of really
great horse bred and born at sea level?
And speaking of horses continued the
colonel, how many of you know when the
first trotting horses-that's the kind take
to market-made their appearance in this
country, or in any country for that mat
ter? OF course, there have always been
trotting horses, for that is the animals
natural gait, but / mean trained trotting
horses. Well, the father of trotting horses
in the United States, and generally for the
trotting horse may be said to have orig
mated in the United States, was Messen-
ger. a thoroughbred, imported from Eng
land in 1ISS at the age of eight years. and
for twenty years thereafter at the stud in
the neighborhood of Philadelphia and New
YORK. He was gray horse with long
pedigree. which included some of the best
English strains well as Arabian from
which he probably took his color He had
a numerous progeny by thoroughbreds and
cold-bloods. and almost invariably these
latter produced horses which showed the
trotting instinct, and strangely. too, the
sons Of his thoroughbred sons showed the
same trotting quality. 1t took some time
however, for the trotter to get off of the
road and divide turf attraction with the
thoroughbred. but it bound to come,
and in the year 1918, ten years after Mes
sengers death, the first public trotting
race of which there is any record in the
United States took place, when the gray
gelding Boston Blue was matched to trot
a mile in three minutes, feat deemed at
that time to be impossible All the same.
the gelding went the mile in less than
three, though what the figures were no.

A Matter of Wonder.

Two men were walking along G. street
at quiet time of the day. and man was
walking only short distance in front of
them Presently. in line with their talk.
one of the men remarked:
We'll, she is one of the cantankerousest
females 1 ever knew"
The man in front whirled around sud-
denly.
What do you mean by talking about my
wife. sir?' he exclaimed excitedly.
What the deuce do you mean by iump-
ing at me like that?" snorted the Startled
man in the rear, going back on his pastern
joints.
What did you say, STRIP"
Il merely said that lady of nv ac-
oraintance was the most cantankerous
female l ever met
n. Well sir, what do you mean by saving
that?'
Il don't know that it is any of your bus
mess. l don't know you, and l fail to see
what you have got to DO with what ! saw
But you were speaking of my wife,
Il was doing nothing of the kind don't
know your wife, any more than l know
you
The man seemed to have been struck be-
a ray of revelation. He stopped, stepped
back. rubbed his head, bowed and smiled
a wan smile.
Il beg your pardon" he said, with a
sweet submissive gentleness. Il thought
there was only one like her in all the world
You have my sympathy. Good morning -
And with never a word as to who he was
or whence he came, he hurried away and
was lost among the passers on the streets.
