The Horse in Battle

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. As the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in the service
he knows every bugle call. As the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between its teeth. AS he
moves out he will either seek to get
on faster than he should or bolt. H.
cannot bolt. however. The lines will
carry him forward, and after Il minute
he will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave
the worst and have done with it as
soon as possible.

because of his large nose. Few know
that he was poet, and fewer still

Cleopatra is said to have figured in
Roman politics. and a scandal grew out
of it which ended in the ruin and death
of Antony and the establishment of an
empire which lasted thousand years.
Napoleon would not promote man
who had not a large nose. He himself

All American statesmen have been
noted for this feature. Old men tell of

Of this is true, that all men who have
great noses are great men. Such con-

Evening Dress In Kansas City.

The dress suit is the most democratic
raiment in the world. It meets the re-
quirements of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month.
Attired in evening costume. whether
the swallowtails are long or short, mar
row or wide, all men look, practically
speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or millionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
potentiality of correct style. The
young man who has made good selec-
ton in his rented broadcloth serenely
greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothes price like $3.50.
How the fame of this world grows
small when wrapped in swallowtail
coat among many others Of the same
cut! When the dress suit becomes the
regular evening calling and theater
dress for Kansas City men, as it should
be, the poor chaps will profit by it a
full cubit of serenity and self respect

AMES, Ia, Oct. 26.-(Special Telegram)-
Senator William B. Allison addressed a large
gathering here this evening. He said the
present state ticket should be reelected on
account of efficient administration and wip-
ing out OF the state debt. The money ques
ton was the paramount issue and the
republican party would enact such legisla-
tion that a secretary of the treasury could
not place the country on silver basis SIM
ply by his own fiat. Touching the trust ques-
ton, the senator said there was no issue
but that much ado was being made about Or
CARNATIONS in restraint of trade sitting COM
petition and controlling commodities. II Is
not a party issue. What party is in favor
of letting one dozen men control the
products OF the country? 1t is an old ques-
tion. Many attempts have been made to
bring about its solution. Whoever is able to
formulate statute to minimize the trust evil
would find ready response by both parties.
He gave an exhaustive history OF the affairs
leading up to the present Philippine situa-
tion and said that this question was also not
party matter but should be settled from
the standpoint OF patriotism.
