TRACY WAS WANTED

A bet of $40 TO cent is generally
considered a pretty good proposition
by the fellow who gets the short end
and that is no doubt the way Hon.
Tracy Bangs, of Grand Forks, regarded
the matter when Ernie Kent offered
those odds that Mckinley would carry
North Dakota. There was an limo
cent sounding stipulation, however,
that in case the republican majority
was more than 5000 Mr.. Bangs should
fork over to the genial and good look
ing register of the land office one cent
for each additional vote. This pro-
viso will make Mr.. Kent a winner to
the tune of about 500 and Mr.. Bangs
is trying to figure out what kind of a
job "a put up on him anyway.

HORSES IN THE WAR.
A Coed Idea of the CharacterIsttcs
of the Different Types In
south Africa.

There are many different kinds of
horses employed in the present cam
paign and the following gives very
good idea of the characteristics of the
various types, says the South African
Press. The heavy horses of the royal
horse artillery are magnificent animals,
towers of strength every one They
are splendidly trained and combine
immense power with great activity.

are lighter than the artillery horses.

trying work since their arrival, really
more than their share, in fact, and
have shown themselves thoroughly re-
liable nags. They average about 1919
hands and are perhaps a little lighter
than the Australian mounts.
A number of South American horses
have arrived from the Argentine and
they are in remarkably good condition,
as sleek as Inoles. They are thick-set
strongly built little horses, too large
TO call ponies, but nothing like the
height of the chargers above men

these big little" South American cobs
should prove as scryiceable as any,
Last and least in stature, are the
horses of the mounted infantry, South
African horses, light, active, strong,
Small though they are, compared TO
the majority of the mounts. they are
by no means to be despiscd, for they
do their work we'll and keep UP re-
markably. They are nimble over the

the native flats, and IL well cared for
