when l retired from the contract
ing business a short time ago" said a
well known man, Il had Il number of
horses that | was anxious to dispose
of. Among them was one named Jer-
ry, which for several years had been
used to working on a drum. In such
work horse becomes accustomed to
lifting his feet high to avoid striking
the hoisting ropes. When the horses
were put under the hammer, Jerry
went to Harlem grocer.
About n week later the purchaser
of Jerry called at my house and told
me that he had lot of trouble with
the horse. He said that Jerry would
go Il short distance. when he would
stop short and lift his feet high, and
after doing this would go a little far
ther, only to repeat it again. told the
grocer why the horse stopped short
and lifted his feet and also advised
him to look up some contractor and
sell the animal to him for hosting pur-
poses. He did so, notifying me that he
received a larger price than he paid

Badness.

1t has been found on study of 300
cases of loss of hair that badness pre-
walls most with unmarried men, which
is contrary to the general belief. The
worries of the bachelor may be fewer,
but they are more trying to the scalp
than are the multitudinous cares of
the man of family. Most bald people
are found to lead indoor lives, and al
most all of them belong to the intel
lectual class. Usually the loss of hair
begins before the thirtieth year. In
woman it usually constitutes a gen.
eral thinning; in men it affects the top
of the head. Diseases that affect the
general nutrition of the body are like
ly to thin the hair. Heredlty is a
factor. If one has baldheaded an

cop9ia will not bring out flowing locks.
