SUBSTITUTES FOR ARMY HORSES
Bicycles and Motor Carriages Tried in
France and Germany

fTHntc ~ ptFIhtnN.
One difficulty with which military or
ganizers i'm Europe ave 10 contend is
the scarcity of the horses necessary
for both cavalry and artillery service,
the Increase In the number of horses
not keeping pace with the constantly
growing requirements of continental
armies. on a peace footing France and
Germany require approximately 120.-
900 horses each for military PURPOSES.
Russia 5000. Austria-Hungary 10000.
Italy and Great Britain 60. 900 and Tur-
key $1,000. There are horses i'm abund-
ance I'm Europe, more especially ia Rus
STA and Hungary. but agriculture re-
qulres many. and the number of horses
suitable for military service is compar-
atively small. The requirements of
horses for army service are many.
They must b. hardy swift OF foot, cap
able of great endurance. thoroughly
broken and susceptible of training and
come up TO the military standard as to
size. weight and age. Green horses will
not do. ordinarily draught horses can
not be utilized. In the event of a de-
claration of war. Germany and France
would each require 5000 additional
horses. Austria would require 25, 900,
and Russia nearly 1901 600.
Although h present population of
Germany Is 30 per cent. greater than
the present population OF France. the
number Of horses in Germany is not
materially greater than the number of
horses in France, and II 20 the latter
total be added the umb OF horses
available in Algeria the French supply
will be seer to exceed that of Germany.
In times of peace, and with ample op-
p~ortunity for preparation, a solvent
European government can always pro-
cure the horses IL needs from neutral
nations; but .in war times this Is not
so easy to do. and, moreover, modern
wars are apt TO be somewhat abruptly
settled. and IL takes n considerable time
to train horses for military service. es-
pecially in the artillery. BY a regis
tration system which has been in use
in France for many years. the authori-
ties keep account of every draught n
| riding horse in the country; but lack OF
horses Is the weak point of the French
military system. n Germany the situa-
! ton is substantially the same. n both
countries have recently had recourse
! 10 the use Of substitutes for horses.
Motor carriages and bicycles have been
tried. In the utilization of motor car
riages the French ave gone further,
perhaps, thar their German ~neighbors,
but the German army has a well equip
ped bicycle force. and an additional adj
vantage which comes from it's use IL
the fact that forage wagons are not
necessary with bicycle corps and SOL
diers can move more rapidly on bicycles
or motor carriages h on horseback
For artillery service there would seem
to be no insurmountable objection 10
motor carriages.

The star of Empire.

The star OF empire-torch of fate
Now leads on from the Golden Gate
ms legions OF the brave;
Triumphant DER Hawaiian isles.
To where auroral Eden smiles,
our starry standards wave.
The God Of Justice sees with pride
Our steel-clad squadrons dare deridS
The nag that loves the wrong.
Oppression falls before our might
AS darkness fees the morning light,
And peace breaks forth in song.
The future CLEANS with glorys gold,
And bids Columbia purge OF mould
The borders OF the day.
There. on the bloody dust of Rome,
Our God will found n Saxon home
That shall not pass away.

THE BOY AND THE WOOD.

His father and mother were living, and-well,
HIS brothers and sisters were too.
HIS pleasures and sports were too numerous to
tell,
bis cares and misfortunes were few,
he never had known what it was to be poor,
His clothing was costly and good,
10 be Kind TO his playmates he always was
sure,
But he hated to split the wood.
He'd go TO the grocer's for errands galore,
He'd rake up the garden and plant,
Inc carpet ned beat till both hands were sore,
he rarely was heard to say "can't,"
ana numberleSs tavors he'd do for his friends,
Well up in their graces he stood,
FOR MS rather he'd go to the worlds utmost
ends,
But he hated to split the wood.
At the sight of an ak he'd fly into a rage,
And tears of v~exation would rise.
No words which l write could describe on this
page
The fury that shone from his eyes.
A sensible person, without doubt, he was,
Morally upright and good,
And his rare fits of anger were simply because
He hated to split the wood.
he was no unusual mortal, this boy,
And plenty are like him TODAY.
Many men carry burdens and do so with iov.
While some they'd not carry for pay.
It's simply the boy has grown into the man.
He'd do everything if he could.
The thing that he can't do and wishes he can
Is just like the boy and the wood.
Walter P. Desmond in Boston Globe,
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-06-14
How 1t Is Graded,

"Of course you don't buy poetry by the
yard" he said to the editor of the maya
zine.
Certainly not" replied tho editor.
equality has more to do with the price
than quantity"
swell, would you mind telling me just
how you grade it?"
"Not at all" answered the editor cheer
fully. "We have a corps of readers, you
know, and it passes through the hands of
all of them. If the meaning of the poem
is apparent to all, we reject it. If one of
them is unable to make out what the poet
is driving at it is accepted conditionally
and will be used some time within the
next 10 or II years if we have room. If it
prove a puzzle to two of the readers, we
put it on the hooks to be used at the earli-
est opportunity and to be paid for at a
slightly increased price. If all of the read
ers give it up, we illustrate it, and if no
one about the shop, including myself, can
make even a guess at its meaning we pay
triple rates for it and invite the poet to
become a regular contributor. "-Chicago
Post.

Mind Reading.

The really extraordinary performance
of mind readers of celebrity astound all
who witness them. Scientists cannot
explain them. Hamlet exclains, "There
are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamt of in thy
philosophy" The wonderful feats of
the mind reader are strongly c%orrobora-
tive of this, But the reason of the
beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in cases of dyspepsia, malaria,
rheumatism, biliousness, nervousness
and kidney and bladder complaint, does
not require and will not provoke in
vestigation. We know that the medicine
does effect thorough cures in obstinate
cases, that it does prevent the diseases
to which it is adapted. Used with
persistency it will re-establish health.

The Bomb In Jetf Davis Desk,

When the United States troops occu.
pied Richmond, April 8, 1865, General
Edward H. Ripley Of Vermont, who
was appointed military governor of the
city, found in the desk of Jefferson Da.
Wis, in the house occupied by the Con-
federate president, a cast iron bomb in
the shape Of a lump Of coal. It was evi.
IDENTIFY cast from a good sized piece Of
coal, was coated with coal tar and coal
dust and could hardly be distinguished,
when handled, from a lump Of coal. It
was hollow and would hold powder
enough to make a heavy explosion.
Army authorities have never doubted
that the otherwise unexplained blowing
up Of a steam vessel loaded with am
munition at City Point was the work Of
a bomb Of this kind, which had been
dropped into q pile Of coal and shoveled
into the furnace Of the steamer, and sim
liar bombs probably occasioned similar
catastrophes during the war.-Burling-

OLD LOVERS.

Heart Of my heart, when the day was young
Hope sang to life with a silver tongue,
Hope beckoned love down a flowery way,
Where twas always morning and always May,
And two true lovers need never part
Do you remember, heart of my heart?
Heart Of my heart, when the noon was high
Work showed the way we must travel by,
Duty spoke cold and stern in our ears,
Bidding us bear all the toll and tears,
Paintings and losses, sorrow and smart
Have you forgotten, heart Of my hearth
Heart of my heart, in the setting sun
We sit at peace, with our days work done.
In the cool Of the evening we two look back
On the winding pathway, the Moons rough
track,
And the morn's green pleasance, where roses
Irvine,
Heart Of my heart, with your hand in mine.
Heart Of my heart, when the night is here
Love will sing songs of life in our ear.
We shall sleep awhile meath theelaisied grass,
Till we put on the glory and rise and pass
To walk where eternal splendors shine,
Heart Of my heart, with your hand in mine
