They Are Rapidly Finding Favor I'm
the Hunting Field.

They Are Rapidly Finding Favor i'm
the Hunting Field.
From the Rider and Driver
Horses bred in our northwestern states
are finding favor every hunting field in
the world. AS a class. they have greater
endurance, quicker sight and brighter In
telligence for adapting themselves to new
conditions than any other.
Like the human prairie Hvers, their wits
become sharpened perforce through the
necessities of the conditions surrounding
their early years. Rustling in youth devot-
ops character and make muscle. and they
must rustic II they would live.
A stud farm in Montana consists Of 4
plain log house for the owner. q few corr
rails and log building or two for SHELTER
ing imported thoroughbred horses. There
is no elaborate stabling nor daintiIy pre-
pared food for the young hunter. He may
hope for such pampering when he is older
and has learned his business. At present he
runs free on the open prairie. where the
high pure atmosphere strengthens his
lungs, the alkali water enlarges his bones,
tic on the hard rugged ground. His food.
the lCxuriant bunch grass, Is almost as
nourishing hay and oats combined. So
we'll do horses thrive on that is no uncom-
mon thing to catch up horse from grass
and after riding him seventy or eighty
miles within twelve hours, turn him out
again no whit the worse for his journey.
Roaming from wee childhood among the
rough bad lands, where they must follow
their mothers over many difficult obstacles
from fallen logs to dangerous clefts nearly
concealed by sage brush bushes, the young
things early become observant-eyed nat
ural jumpers, so that by the time they are
the right age to be broken they have all
ready attained kind of untutored pro-
ficiency in the art of hunting.
The method 1 have employed for training
young horses for hunting, which has been
satisfactory to me, may prove interesting
to lovers of the horse.
Horses roam the prairie In close keeping
punches, which are as jealousy distinct
as communities of men. They keep to
the creek districts, and though they often
wander miles into the hills for food, the
place to look for any particular bunch
may safely be located In the vicinity OF
the creek you have driven them to when
YOU turned them out.

,Panayota went, to the door and gazed at
the sky through a mist Of tears. What a
dreadful place this was, where grief abode
that not even the Virgin could assuage!
A cool breeze from the sea was abroad over
the land. and one star glittered like drop
Of dew on spray of lilac. Yonder were
the hills to which she longed to flee. gray
giants, moving toward her out of the dark

Panayota felt as though the very food
were contaminated, but she managed to eat
some of the bread, pulling morsels from TIE
interior of the loaf. Once again she heard
voices from without, ard started from her
seat, whispering:
1.-The Turks are coming

calm, uncaring voice; you are as safe here
as If you were In your grave-safer, tor the
Turks sometimes exhume the bones Of
Christians. but they never disturb us. We
are all dead in this village, dead to the hate
of the world, to its love, to its friendship. !"
Panayota could make no reply Human
sympathy seemed a mockery in the face of
such sorrow as this. She stepped to the
door and looked out. All was silent In the
marrow street. The lepers are not gay
folk, and sleep is to them Gods greatest
boon.

"Oh yes, 1t would be perfectly safe for a

THE AGING OF THE EYE.

All oculists know that, from middle
age on, the pupil OF the eye grows
smaller, until in old age il Is no larger
than pins head Heretofore they
have tried to explain by saying that
the muscles and nerves controlling the
pupils become stiff. or weak, sooner
than do the other muscles or nerves of
the body
This theory is controverted by
young Chicago oculist, Or Norburne
jenkins who criticises many old the
cries in regard to the eyes.
Or Jenkins vas in New York recent
ly. and was seen by reporter. Il
find said he that advancing age
only brings into action certain defects
.of the eye, and these defects alone are
the causes of the small pupil whether
in age or in youth; and the greater the
defect the earlier the pupil gets small.
This is proved, because the pupil re-
sumes its normal size and activity aft
Ter the defects are relieved by perfectly
Hitting glasses. In brief the small
pupil comes from eye strain. and is not
present in perfect eyes As only about
one person IN a thousand has perfect
eyes, the mistake has easily been made
by thinking the small pupil came from
la natural loss of tone from age but
Perfectly fitting glasses show that
these defects have existed from youth.
and that age only reveals them and
also that when these are relieved. the
pupil resumes its youthful action
