and paying from SIS up for animals
which two or three years ago were
considered fit only for the abattoir,
where they sold for $3.50 and 80 per
head, it is apparent the advent of the
horseless age has been postponed. so
great is the demand for heavy work
horses, and animals suitable for the
cavalry service, that it is impossible to
meet it with the class of animals re-
ouired and buyers are filling out or
ders in some cases with unbroken
range horses, for which as high as S4O
per head has been paid. Government
buyers, who a few years ago were wont
to Gull closely and reject everything
that did not meet the exact require
ments, have been compelled to waive
some of the specifications, or else fall
to secure the full quota of animals
needed.
There is also steady demand for
fast harness horses. So long as men
have money with which to crafty
their desires for the luxuries of life,
the backhending bicycle and the inan-
innate horseless carriage will never
supplant the quadruped whose speed,
intelligence and beauty have been
proper themes for the poet and planter
throughout all ages.-Portland Ore

THE SQuIRE'S DILEMMA.

A justice of the peace in one OF the
west end boroughs issued a warrant
for the arrest of west end woman lot
slander. Squire S. J. White happened
TO be present at the hearing. The
prosecutor testified that the defendant
had called her an sold virago" and
that she had added, 81 don't know
what that means but whatever 1t IS
that's what you are" The witness
admitted that she did not know what
the meaning of the word was, either ;
but she knew it had no good meaning
or the other wouldn't have made use
of it. 49,,
uNo matter what it MEANS" said the
squire, who is an intensely patriotic
American, "it's foreign name, and
she had no business calling you it. I'll
fine her for it,"
"Souire," whispered Squire White
in his ear, "you have no Jurisdiction
in slauder suits. They must be enter
ed in court" =.
"Well, I'll hold her for court, then"
the squire declared.
"But there's no law under which
YOU can do that" he was told.
"Well, I'll hold her anyhow" ne
replied, land test the constitutionallty
of the act" ,
"But there is no act" persisted
Squire White.
"Get out of this Office % commanded
the squire, turning on him. "Do you
think I'm going to allow you to come
in here and learn me the law?"
"You uns 60, too," he said, turning
TO the women. "You're both released
on your own rec-ogg- g-nizance until this
court finds out what the darnation to
do with this case" e."-Pittsburg News.

THE RETURN OF THE RATIoNs.-In
the Civil War orr soldiers faced priva-
ton and hunger. A little story in d.
Clay Trumbull's book, "War Memor-
les of a Chaplain" tells of the spirit in
which they sometimes did it.
While before Petersburg doing siege
work in the summer of 1864, our men
had wormy hard tack served out to
them. 1t was severe trial to the
men. Breaking open the biscuits and
finding live worms in them, they would
throw the pieces in the trenches, al
though the orders were to keep the
trenches clean.
A brigade officer OF the day, seeing
some of these scraps along our front,
called out sharply to our men:
"Throw that hard tack out of the
trenches" Then, as the men prompt
ly gathered it up, he added, "Don't
YOU know that you've no business to
throw hard tack in the trenches?"
Out from the injured soldier heart
there came the reasonable explanation,
"We've thrown it out two or three
times, sir, but it crawls back"

PHILOSOPHY OF EYES.


Blue eyes are said to be the weakest.
Upturned eyes are typical of devo-
ton.
Wide.open eyes are indicative of
rashness.
side.glancing eyes are always to be
distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to
be the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed
to indicate cunning.
The downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
The proper distance between the
ewes is the width of one eye.
People of the melancholic tempera-
ment rarely have clear blue eyes.
Ewes with long, sharp corners indi-
cate great discernment and penetra-
ton.
The white of the eye showing be.
meath the iris is indicative of nobility
of character.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil the indication is cool
deliberation.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from
side to side, are frequently indicative
of an unsettled mind.
Gray eyes turning green in anger or
excitement are indicative of choleric
temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil indicates
mental ability.
1t is said that the prevailing colors
of eyes among patients of lunatic asy-
lums are brown and black.
Eyes of any color with weak brows
and long, concave lashes are indicative
of q weak constitution.
Eyes of which the whole of the iris
is visible belong to erratic persons, Of
ten with tendency toward insanity.
Ewes that are wide apart are said
by physiognomists to indicate great
intelligence and a tenacious memory.
Eyes placed close together in the
head are said to indicate a pettiness OF
disposition, jealousy and turn for
fault-fnding.
Wide-open eyes, staring eyes in weak
countenances indicate jealousy, blgo-
try, intolerance and pertinacity with
out 6rmness.
When the under arch of the upper
eyelid is perfect semi-circle it is indi
casive of goodness, but also of timidl-
ty, sometimes approaching cowardice.
All men of genius are said to have
eyes clear, slow moving and bright.
This is the eye which indicates men,
tai ability Of some kind, it doesn't
matter what. ,
Blue eyes are generally considered
effeminate; but this is mistake, for
blue eyes are found only among Cau-
casian nations, and the white races
rule the world.

MILLIONS HAVE HEARD HIN.

Bryan Thought to Hold the Record For
Making Speeches.
From the Washington Post.
Some gentlemen were discussing at
a we'll known hotel the question OF
what orator of ancient or modern
times had first and last spoken to the
greatest number of human beings. A
great many names were suggested, but
finally it was ageeed that more people
had listened to the sound of William
Jennings Bryan's voice than to any
other man who eyer talked to the pub
lie.
81 do not think" said Mr.. T. l..
Irvine, of New York, "that there is
any doubt of Bryan's primacy in this
regard. Weknow that famous speak
ers among the ancients, orators of the
class of Cicero and Demosthenes, talk
ed to vast crowds, but we have only to
reflect upon the paucity of transporta-
ton facilities in those days to realize
that they addressed practically the
same audiences all the time. Their
gatherings were local.
"Mr. Bryan, in 1896 and since, has
traversed every part of the United
States, and has spoken in the aggre-
gate to millions of his countrymen.
Major Mckinley, i! will be remember
ed. stayed at his home during the cam.
paign, and his speeches were limited
to visiting delegations. Neither Beech
er, Ingersoll nor Talmage, with their
long years of platform oratory, could
have addressed a total of hearers any
thing like as large as the numbers
that crowded about the Nebraskan.
Neither Webster, Clay, nor Calhoun
nor Douglass, despite the length OF
their public careers, ever spoke to
such multitudes. And the wonderful
part of it is, that the man will, in all
probability, duplicate his past expe-
rience in this line before he retires to
absolute privacy"

BOB TAYLOR ON INGERSOLL.

81 sat in a great theatre at the ma
tional capital. 1t was tbronged with
youth and beauty, old age and wisdom.
I saw a man, the image of his God,
stand up on the stage and I heard him
speak.
"His gestures were perfections of
grace, his voice was music and his Ian
guage was more beautiful than any l
had ever heard from mortal lips.
"He painted picture after picture
of the pleasures and joys and sympa-
thies of home. He enthroned love
and preached the gospel of humanity
like an angel. Then 1 saw him dip
his brush in the ink ofmoral blackness
and blot out the beautiful pictures he
had painted. I saw him stab love
dead at his feet. I saw him blot out
the stars and the sun and leave hu-
manity and the universe in eternal
darkness and eternal death.
II saw him, like the serpent of old,
worm himself into the paradise of hu-
man hearts and by his seductive elo-
uuence and subtle devices and sophis-
try inject his fatal venom, under whose
ght its powers faded. Its music was
hushed, its sunshine was darkened
and it's soul was left a desert waste
with only the new made graves of faith
and hope.
81 saw him, like a lawless, erratic
meteor, without an orbit, sweep across
the intellectual sky, brilliant only in
it's self-consuming fire generated by
friction with the indestructible and
eternal truths of God.
"That pan was the archangel of
modern infidelity, and said, how true
is Holy Writ, which declared The
fool has said in his heart, there is. no
God
"Tell me not, oh infdel, there is no
God, no heaven, no hell! Tell me

rural districts of England there are
held annually hiring fairs, where farm

farmer inquired at last:

PHOTOGRAPHY 4
IS AN Art

A ND it takes an artist to be photo
n grapher. One who is not an artist
doesn't stand much of a chance of max
ing success at photography. l have
given years of study to this especial line
and I can say with pride that my work
will compare favorab ly with that of any
photographer in this section.
The best and most perfect photographs
are the results of experience and not ex-
periments. I do all of my developing,
retouching and finishing, thereby obtain
ing the best possible results.
As Far As Prices
Are concerned, you need not worry your
self along that score. know that my
prices are reasonable and you will agree
with me when tell you what they are.
I am also prepared to develop and print
pictures taken with pocket cameras. Ii
you have Kodak or Vive or any other
camera, and for any reason you can't de-
velop and print your pictures, bring them
to me at my gallery on West Liberty
street. j. X. SCHOfB.
