The Value of a Horse.

Prof. Oscar r. Gleason, the IA
nous horse trainer and tanner, in a
recent lecture before large body of
horsemen and farmers, made this re-
mark: "If horse is worth $3.50, it
is recognized fact that $25 is about
the actual value of the horse, and
1928 is the value of his having been
trained to mans use." Prof. Gleason
has trained and broken more horses
than any man in the world. He has
subdued the most famous vicious
horses in this and other countries,
and has been substantially recog-
nized by the United States govern
ment for his wonderful services in
training horses for the cavalry and
the artillery. His system is simple
ity itself, but extremely effective.
aud the beauty of the system is that
it can be applied to any horse by
any one.
We have made special arrange
ments with the publishers of Prof.
Gleason's famous book, which has
always sold at $3.50, and can supply
a limited number to our subscribers.

The white Box.


Chicago Tribune.I
The tailor's wife took her little
boy out for a walk the day after
they moved next door to the under
takers. The little fellow stopped
just outside the wide windows and
pointed his chubby forefinger at the
white collin within.
whats that, mother ~ he asked.
He had never seen a coffin.
"That's what they put little boys
in when they're naughty" said the
mother. THAT'S the way God pun
ishes."
The bonny, boisterous lad was a
great trial to her sometimes whe
she was weary with household cares,
aud she resorted to almost any tale
to keep him quiet.
Every day after that the brown
eyed boy stood for many minutes
and looked at the tiny collins behind
the heavy glass He grew very ODE
dent, too, but the mother had be
come so accustomed to-fault iiudir g
that she never noticed how well he
minded, but continued to scold, just
the same. With every reproof his
beautiful brown eyes would grow
dark with a mist of tears, and he
would ask half tearfulls:
"Will you put me in the white
box for that, mother? Will God
punish me now ~
Months passed. One day the rest
less feet went astray again, and the
mother, in the moment of her ex.
treme yexation, punished him NOR,
severely than usual.
"Don't put me in the white box
mother" he pleaded over aud over
again between his sobs.
So saying, he fell asleep. Wher
he awoke, the fever was on him, and
the pattering feet wandered away nc
more. Another week passed. Their
the brown eyes looked up into hers
the pale lips quivered, and he sait
feebly:
'llsve you got the white box
mother! Has God punished M
YETI"
Two days later the carriage cam
and bore him away in state. Cod
punishment had come.

that he threatened to wed her to a swine-

petual motion, but if his machine does
what he saws it has done and Will do
again he has come as near to the solution
of that vast problem a 8 any man ever will.
About q year ago. says the Boston
Herald, the inventor interested some OF
Portland's business men in his machine,
and, in return for a partial interest in 1t,
they agreed to give him money enough to
build a larger model. These gentlemen
thoroughly Investigated the machine be-
fore they put their money into it. With
skilled mechanics and experts they visited
Rohr's home at Long Island, and not only
saw his machine run, but took it all apart
and studied the principles on which it de-
pends. They kept man at Rohr's house
for four days and four nights. and during
all of this time the machine continued to
run without interruption.
Rohr's machine depends on compressed
air com bined with some simple mechanl-
cal contrivance for its power. A large
iron air tank about II feet long, feet
high and 8 feet wide is the most important
part of the machine. In this is placed a
cylinder twenty inches in diameter, the
barrel of an ordinary air-pump. The
pump forces air, sucked in from without
the tank, into the tank itself. The piston
rod OF this pump is attached to the crank
shaft of two large 1900 pound fly wheels
above. There is also large cog wheel on
this shaft geared into larger cog. wheel,
which is supported by second shaft
directly in the rear of the first one.
A large sprocket wheel and chain, SINH
lar to that seen on an ordinary bicycle,
connects the second shaft, with its fly
wheels and large cog wheel, to small
compressed-a;r engine. Now, when the
big 12o- pound fly wheels connected with
the piston rod OF the air pump are put in
motion by SONS outside force, the air
pump forces air into the big iron tank,
and this air is used to run the auxiliary
compressed-air engine. The momentum
of the big fly wheels on the piston rod
crank shaft brings the piston rod up
again for another impulse, and the auxil-
iary compressed air engine, by the series
of sprocket wheels. chains and gearing,
give, the 1200.pound fly wheels shove
around, and down goes the piston into
the air pump again. COMPRISING more
air and furnishing more power with which
to run the machine.
The air pump furnishes just three times
more air than is necessary to run the
auxiliary compassionate engine, and thus
the machine is constantly laying up
power With which to run.
