Horse Lore.

From ancient times the horse has
been ansobject of special venera ton
by almost all peoples. 1t was so among
the Greeks and Tacitus says that the
Romans in early times kept white
horses in the sacred groves at the ex-
pense of the state. 1t was thought
that the neighing of the horse was q
sign of victory in battle, and the war
rior whose steed neighed on the eve of
a conflict felt assured of success. On
the other hand, if the horse failed to
neigh it was looked on as an evil
omen. In some parts of Germany part
of a horses head hung above the doors
of stables and stalls was supposed to
bring good fortune, and even among
ourselves at the present time there is
a very prevalent feeling bhat the horse
shoe brings good luck. In fact, the
horseshoe, more than any other object,
is the emblem Of happy turn in af-
fairs. In some parts of Europe it is
believed that horses hoof under a
child's pillow prevents commissions and
a horses teeth are supposed to keep
away the toothache. II horse SHES

to be threatened with misfortune.

Tricked Into Buying Farm Brave

John NJ Roberts Of Racine finds that
he has bought a farm that he doesn't
want, paying for it more than he deems
1t worth, as a result of wrangle three
years ago. Two strangers recently APP
peared at his farm and stated that they
desired farm in that county. His place,
100 acres, suited and they offered him
500 an acre for it. They asked if they
could purchase the farm adjoining. which
consisted of eighty acres. at 500 an acre.
To bind the bargain they gave him so
and he went into the city and paid Si.Sp0
for the other place. The strangers We're
to call ON him within three days, but
have not appeared. The eighty acres
which he purchased were at one time
owned by him and were given TO his son.
who three years ago received a PROPOSE
tion from certain Racine people Offering
to trade farm in Kenosha County for
the eighty acres in Racine. This young
Roberts agreed TO do. Afterward the
persons who made the proposition wanted

hear of it. Since that time the farm Of
eighty acres has been in the hands of

changes her mind twice rarely can make
it up to her satisfaction.
Hats were never prettier. They are
all light on the head; the days of heavy
hats are all gone by. They are all bright,
fresh and springlike. Delicate and brill
liant colors prevail. The shapes are be-
coming. All are large enough. Head
sizes are generous, and trimming builds
a hat well from the face. White leads,
it did all winter, but it takes on new
charm in the summer hat. Black is a
close second. Then comes the combina-
ton of the two, then solid gray, solid
string color and solid butter shade.
These solid color hats are often relieved
by bunch Of black velvet. Fashionable
women may be getting over their rage
for spangles on gowns, but they have
gone to the head. Tinsel weayes are
much employed. Gold or silver net is
folded gracefully to make whole hat,
or it appears about the brim or as the
soaring of a hat. 1t remains to be seen
how they will stand the changeable at
mosphere, and they are a little trying TO
the skin, but are very dressy for theater
wear Besides the initial is a black
straw covered with silver net, and trim
med with white chiffon rosettes and black
and white plumes. AT the lower left
hand corner of the second illustration is
another example Of this fancy, a toque
of spangled gold net, with huge bow Of
turquoise satin ribbon as trimming.
Among the new notions are hats in
which heavy lace is spread over a wire
frame, soaring of tulle and punches of
flowers completing the combination. An
exquisite affair consisted of heavy ma
creme lace laid over pink tulle mounted
on wire frame A scarf of pink chif
fon with fringed ends was draped around
the crown and knotted heavily at the
sides Three little ostrich plumes stood
straight up in the knot. The hat was
slightly in bonnet shape, and against the
hair in front were several little hard
knots Of tiny rnsehnds with leaves. The.
