. THE FAULT FINDER :


It is not as d republican. but as Citi- Zen possessed of average sense. and with a moderately fair view of the facts. that l desire to speak of those ambitious twins, Smith and Wilson. I believe that every fair minded man. re- publican and democrat. will agree with me that neither of them has yet addressed an audience in this cam paign without grossly insulting it. I do not mean that they have directed vi imperative language against their au- diences. but they have assumed them to he grossly ignorant and incapable of reasoning. I would rather man would publicly call me a scoundreI, rascal or even monster than 10 treat me as if he thought l were damphOol,
 That is the way Messrs Smith and Wilson treat their audiences nightly. For instance, both of them have much to say about the so-called Yavapai bonds. They tell their hearers that those bonds were invalid until Cover nor Murphy wrongfully procured the pIssage of an act making them valid. Everyone knows that as late as seven years ago there was not the slightest doubt of the validity of those bonds. and every right thinking man knows that d more honest debt was never in cured than that bonded. debt of Yava- pal county At the time il was in cured every business man and almost every prominent citizen of that county favored it. It may have turned out that the investment was not so fortu- nate as it had been hoped it would be. but that fact did not tighten the coun- tvs legal or moral liability. As to the act establishing the validity of the bonds. whatever Governor Murphy did toward procuring its passage he did in accordance with a legislative memorial adopted by a democratic legislature. The only vote cast against it was cast by a republican member. All these are facts of record.

JACKY ON SHIPBOARD.
Ped Which Is Provided by Paternal

.Jacky's bed is hammock, and it is
a folding. portable bed of the most i'm
proved kind, says Scribner's. People
who swing hammocks on verandas in
the summer know nothing whatever
about Jackys style of bed. His is
made of an oblong piece of stout can
vas. fitted with eye-holes in the ends.
In the eye-holes are made fast small
ropes. called "clews." and these are
dashed at their outer ends to a ring.
When Jacky's folding bed is open for
use it hangs by these rings from ham
mock hooks fitted to the beams under
the decks.
Jacky has a mattress and blanket
in his bed, and he has to keep them
there. When he turns OUT" as get
ting up is called, he rolls his hammock
up on its longest axis and lashes it
with rope provided for that purpose
There must be seven turns in the lash
ing, with one exactly in the middle.
The clews are tucked in under the lash
ing, Jacky is allowed ten minutes to
turn out and lash his hammock. Then
he goes up on the spar deck and hands
the hammock to one of the showers,
who drops it into the nettings. The
MEETINGS" are simply troughs in the
ships rail. A tarpaulin is hauled over
the hammocks and laced down to keep
the rain out, and there they stay till
they are served out again at night. In
the meantime, if Jaeky desires to sleep,
and in war times he does very often
need nap, he must perforce seek tho
gentle caresses of steel battlehatch
or an oily alley-way, where cooks and
marines do break in and coal-passera
corrupt. But a paternal government
provides the hammock fer Jacky and
also allows him the use of the deck.

HOW TO TELL A HORSES AGE.

Much Experience Required and Many
Things Have to Be Considered.
To distinguish merely between the
young horse and the old, 1t is only
necessary to remember q few salient
facts. The first is that the milk teeth
are present in the horses mouth until
he is between and S years old. The
second fact is that the mark" or
dark central depression on the surface
of the incisors becomes gradually worn
out, and in a horse over 8 years old
has nearly always disappeared from
the teeth of the lower jaw. The third
fact is that the shape of the tooth is
much wider from side to side than
it is from front to back. AS the horse
becomes older the surface becomes pro-
gressively narrower, from side to side,
and thus, instead of remaining always
oblong, it becomes triangular, and
then in very old animals flattened from
side to side. In young horses, then,
we judge the age by observing which
of the milk teeth are present, and
which have been replaced by perma-
nent ones. To distinguish between
the milk teeth and the permanent, re-
member that the milk teeth are small
er, whittier, and have distinct neck.
Until colt is over 2 years old his
teeth are all milk teeth, and the ago
is estimated from the amount Of wear
shown ON the crowns of the teeth. Be-
tween 2 and the first of the perma-
nent teeth make their appearance, and
push out the middle two teeth in both
upper and lower jaws. A horse is
said to be 3 years old when these CEN
trail permanent incisors are fully in
wear. During the next summer the
second pair of permanent teeth appear,
and when they are fully grown and in
wear the horse is years old. Be-
tween and the last pair makes it's
appearance, and now the horse has
what is called full mouth. So far
both mares and horses are alike, but
"tushes," appear in the male sex only.
Up to the end Of this period the de-
termination of the age is a compare
lively easy matter, and any one who
is at all observant can readily give the
age Of horses by looking at their teeth.
After a full mouth is attained it is q
more difficult matter, and the difficulty
of accurately telling the age of old
horses is greater in proportion to their
age. So much is this the case that it
is popularity supposed that it is i'm
possible to tell the age of horses after
they are years old This may be
true to a great extent among the I'M
trained and inexperienced, but to an
expert it is not difficult to tell the age
up to Is years with fair degree of ac-
curacy, and after that age to approx
innate it within couple of years. To
do this successfully requires much ex-
perience and careful inspection of all
visible indications of age. To rely
upon one only, such as the mark" is
to court defeat. All should be OBJ
served-the mark, the shape of the
teeth, their length and the angle at
which they meet those of the other
jaw.-Pall Mall Gazette.

There are more ways of king money

Alaskan miner who had some luck with
his pick and shovel. For instance,

to be as profitable as expected, and he
didn't know just what to do with 1t to
get his money back. until he had devoted
considerable thought to It, And 1t was
simple enough when he knew how. He
quietly went TO the gold commissioner
and announced that he wished to pay his
10 per cent royalty on the product of his
claim for a year, which was 10000. The
commissioner accepted the 5000 royalty
and gave him-the usual receipt, stating
on It's face what it was for with the num-
ber OF the claim, location, etc. Then he
waited patiently about Ike Mary's lit
tie lamb, and one day, IN the course of
human events, an Englishman came

Many persons in forming opinions as to
the character of horse regard the eye
as the feature above all others which tells
the tale, but our investiga ton of the sub
tect has led us to somewhat different con-
clusions, and experience with these ami
mails has caused US not to place too much
reliance upon it's expression in deciding
as to It's vicious traits or docility. Not
withstanding that the examination of the
eye is almost an Unborn habit in judging
the character of the creature. yet it seems
that this particular feature is often over
estimated.
We have known persons to condemn
horses on account Of the appearance of
their eyes, saying: Il never feel safe with
a horse which is always turning the
whites of his eyes at me- but closer in-
spection would have shown the ivory
white to be the result of absence Of the
coloring matter in part which is usually
cf darkened hue, and was really the
natural condition of things rather than
a vicious habit This deviation from the
ordinary course of nature produces a va
riety sometimes called watch eye" ac-
casionally confused. however, with an
other kind called wall eye;" and here
it may not be out of place to explain the
difference between these TWO peculiar con
ditions.
The former appears as IL Illuminated
by the contrast of the ivory white sur
rounding that part of the eye frequently
called the sight, which In its turn may
be almost black. This somewhat singular
arrangement of things gives the organ
the appearance of being ever on the out
look, watching, as it were. Some horses
have both eyes constructed on the watch
eye plan, and 1t gives the animal a rath-
er wild expression, when, in point of fact,
1t may be a very docile creature.
The wall eye, on the other hand, is a
condition due touthefabsence Of coloring

ing an opinion as to the character Of a
horse, but it should be remembered that
It's expression is materially influenced by
the attitude Of the. ear, an organ which
is often lost sight of as far as being an

index to the animals character is con-
cerned.
Our experience In Judging horses has
led us to regard the ear with much care,
as it's attitude and movements indicate
quite a variety OF conditions; horses
whose ears are ever restless without ap-
parent cause are frequently ultra-ner-
vous creatures, well worth watching.
Again, the restless ear Will sontimes
point to defective eyesight, which may be
accompanied with partial or total loss OF
vision, while animals which throw them
closely back upon the poll are often in
clined to nip or bite. Indeed, this very
attitude is frequently signal for COM
bat.
On the other hand, horses whose ears
are kept nearly in the same position
most of the time are more than likely to
be dull, stupid creatures, if they are not
totally deaf. Deafness in horses is not
at all a common thing, though We occa-
sionally meet with cases in which the an
imaPs attention cannot be attracted by
sound.
The ear of the horse is not only par
tial index to the animals character as
far as vice and docility are concerned,
but it's movement will at times sound the
keynote of danger or warn US to be on
the alert. In this connection a somewhat
remarkable incident was related to the
writer a few years ago by one Of the
Union soldiers who escaped through that
famous hole Of Libby prison, but was aft
terward retaken. The officer who recap
tured the man subsequently Informed him
that his proximity was first revealed by
the ears Of his (the otficer's) charger.
The story in brief was that the escap-
ing soldier and a messmate were con-
ceaIed in a wood One night they were
closely pursued by the Southern officer
ard his men, and while stealing away
from them as cautiously as they could,
the cracking of the dry leaves attracted
the attention of the captains horse,
which somewhat suddenly and without
apparent reason priced Its ears and SEEM
ed alarmed. The officer, taking the hint,
ordered his troopers to surround the spot,
and by morning he had the two fugitives
closely corralled.
Another feature concerning the ear OF a
horse, and sometimes taken advantage
of to illustrate the intelligence of the
animal, Is the attitude 1t assumes under
certain conditions. Thus We find train
ers of trick horses in the circus ring pre-
senting & magnificent animal to an audi
