The Cham ber of Commerce of San Francisco
respectfully calls your attention to the neces-

Alaska in the House of Representatives. Its
rapidly increasing impor ance, IT'S isolation
and distance from the seat of our General
Government and the anomaly of its Federal
control by power thousands OF miles distant
which accords it no voice in the protection OF

When O girl admits that she has a

No matter how poor stick he is, o

A man always shuffles around and
looks uncomfortable when his wife
talks about things that happened on

A man isn't likely to enjoy hearing
his wife talk with woman who re-

When woman tells you some gossip
about another woman, she always be-

has got herself talked about?"
When woman gets an idea she must
be economical, she hunts around and
finds an old skirt to rip up.

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.

The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Negleots Thorn.
One Of the most curious effects of the
general replacing Of horses by eleotrici-
~ and cable traction for drawing street
cars Ia being experienced by one OF the
extensive oar lines In this oity which
still uses horses. One would suppose
that. since the only lines In the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but very small percentage
Of those which used them Ave years
ago. these lines. would have much
wider range of choice and could get
horses of grade superior to the gen
eral run of those which used to be
offered to them Remarkable al it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York oity line referred to
runs in direct competition with the
cable lines Of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined M soon AZ they came In
to possession to place upon it a superior
lot Of horses, and In this way improve
Its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
out to buy the needed horses. Much to
the. surprise Of the managers. 1t was
discovered that there were almost no
street oar horses of any kind to be
bought.
The explanation of this situation lies
In the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost oeased the trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse. A few years ago
the street car horses were one of the
most important features Of the horse
market They were animals of stand
ard grade and of almost stable price,
and every part of the country contributed
Its quota. The street car horse had to
DO big and able and sound Of limb and
wind, but 1t might DO Of any age. Few

make the question of few years more
or less Of any consequence. The demand
was constant, and the price never varied
in New York more than from about
$l26 to g. 90 each Dealers could always
count upon getting this price and get
ting it promptly. and as u consequence
every horse which would answer the
purpose was safe investment at n lit

Horses of all sorts. which lacked the
qualities of speed. beauty or youth. but

the whole country, and every big dealer

The final process. which gives the
name encaustio to this kind Of painting
was the burning in of the colors. This
was done by the application Of heated

of the sun was probably all that was
needed to complete the artists work.
