How Cavalry Horses Are Selected Foe
tho United states Army.

I happened to be at the Presidio not
long since when the contractor for furnish
ing cavalry horses 10 the government subj
mitted several animals to a board of army
officers detailed to make the final inspec-
ton. OF the horses presented only one
was rejected, and that was on account OF
a cold brought about by exposure to drafts
while In transit from the point OF prelim-
ilary inspection TO san Francisco.
a preliminary inspection is made at this
place wherc the contractor purchases the
animals by n representative Of the govern
mcnt, who generally accompanies the con-
tractor on his horse purchasing trips, thus
avoiding the expense of buying horses
which are surc 10 be subsequently rejected
for various defects. AT tho preliminary
inspection few first class, many fair and
superabundancc OF indifferent and medi-
ocrc horses are presented. The contractor
informed me that about one OF every 80
examined at the preliminary inspection
comes up 20 tho requirements; that he had
travelled for three and four days Mt time,
visited horse ranches and looked at several
hundred horses without seeing one that
camc up 70 the specifications. was also
informed that the class of horses required
by the government are getting very scarce
In California. and that many of the cav
airy horses now az tho Prcsidio wcrc pur
chased in the states of Oregon and Wash
ington.
Cavalry horses arc purchased by the
quartcrmaster's department under the
contract system. Proposals for furnishing
cavalry horses arc invited, and the CON
tract is awarded to the lowest bidder. Tho
cavalry horse must be gclding Of hardy
color, to = years old, 1914 hands high,
and weigh about / 900 pounds. He must
be gentle under tho saddle, free and
prompt at the walk, trot and gallop broad
forehead eyes large and prominent, and
possess perfect vision He is thoroughly
examined for splints, side bones, ring
bones, curbs, spayins and any trouble, To-
cal or constitutional, which may tend 10
shorten his usefulness or render the ami
NAL unserv.ccable. The nostrils should be
large and occupy nearly the whole facial
structure. The mouth should be small,
with thin, firm lips. Tho eyes should be
lnrge and mild, with fine cyelids. Tho
ears should be delicate and pointed. The
feet should be Of medium size, due regard
being given Co the size and shape OF the
horse. and there should bc no visible diff
ference I'm the feet ~ 60 size and form.
The tail Is more ornamental In well bred
than undcrbrcd horses. \ fine silk manc

TIE DOWNIN6 OF ME. DEUELL. The ghoulish glee with which the
 downing" of Mir. Dewell is celebrated In certain quarters is characteristic though in civilized communities 1t IS
 not considered quite courteous to KICK and scalp a man after he has been "downed." But a community which IS temporarily dominated by gang Of
 bloodthirsty savages disguised as poh-
 ticians can expect exhibitions which are in keeping with savage nature.
 Ghoulish glee and gorgeous gall aside, the real quality of the performance
 sticks right out, and will continue to stick out. MT. Dewell has done his duty as prosecuting agent in a way which has brought him the commenda-
 ton of all who have watched his course. He has had the warm approval of the
 County commissioners who thrust his office upon him, and who did a good thing when they picked him out and appointed him. No charges of wrong doing or inefficiency have been made
 against him, even by those who have
 been after his scalp, and incidentally
 after another office to add to their long
 and profitable list. But he had to go
 because he was not a member of the
 gang and because he had honestly and onnpSaH tha TrnnnSitinn that if a Young Republican says it is economy to spend a dollar or dollar and a half to collect four cents it is economy. The support given by the County commissioners to that proposi- ton Is interesting, but it will not es- tablish it in the minds of those who have to foot the bills. And when they remember that sagacious Commissioner Durham chose MT. Dewell for prose-
 cutting agent and has repeatedly said | he was we'll satisfied with his choice | they will not wonder that MT. Durham chose to indicate his preference" for | MT. Niles by letter, or absence, rather l than by an open and hearty surrender to the gang.
 l There Is one thing the gang can't fairly be accused of There is no con- cealment of or hypocrisy about its | greed It grabs what 1t wants with en- tirely frank and brutal selfshness. Chill
 dren and great conquerors often act ] that way.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-07-28

were being spilled out around him eve ny second, but he never said anything or looked interested. He would simply skin his cards, come In when he wanted to or lay down, just as the notion struck him. When he picked up his sixes he looked the Persian in the eye and the Persian laughed, 'Tru-le-lu," said the Persian, "Guying me-" reckon said Dough- erty, but I'll give you some of your own sort of words. Tru-le-lum."
 "Tru-le- lili-lo," said the Persian
 "Tru-le- lele-l -llli-lole-lum, replied Dougherty; but scarcely before he could get the words out of his mouth the young prince threw down his four of a kind, kicked the table over, fell forward on a sofa and broke out in a sob.
 My God, man!" exclaimed the inter- preter, you raised him 'leven millions that time!"
 Dougherty was immensely successful there and returned home last year with a big bag of gold. But he bet 1t on Bryan-C Chicago Times Herald.

Uncertified Stories of Some of His
 Games, Including One in Persia.
 Since Mayor Harrison seems deter mined to run the gamblers out of Chi cago, or, rather, to prevent them plying their vocation in the city, numbers of them are moving westward, where the green cloth is dusted every morning and the ace is coppered every night. There isn't any gambling going on in New York. Cincinnati is now dead card,'' and as for Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and the other eastern cities. they are not deuce high in dirty poker deck. When it was told in the newspa- pers last spring, immediately after the election of Harrison, that everything was to be run wide open'' in this town. gamblers came here from all parts of the country. Some have eaten, others have subsisted mostly on wind pud- dings.
