The government is finding great
difiiculty In securing good cavalry
horses for service in the Orient. Last
week Colonel Marshall, chief quarter
.master Of this department, started on
horse buying trip, surprising he could
find all the animals required in the
vicinity Of Salinas, Cal. hitherto a
g,nd base OF supplies for thc cavalry.
Failing to make up anything like a
reeded number there, he so reported,
and was ordered on to HolIister. A
second disappointmentmet him there,
and he. is now canyassing California
and Nevada. Agents Of the German
empire. who are buying up horses here
for the German cavalry. are also fint-
ing their task difficult.

think he couldn't run the farm with
ont them. One of them he let's feed
one part Of the stock and another
something else. II anyone asks him
anything about the farm he refers to
one OF the bows, remarking that he
don't keep much track Of things as the
boys seem to have knack Of doing
better Than ever he did. Those buys
are Just the average kind, but they do
their work cheerfully because they
feel that some responsibility rests up
on them. The boy who has nothing
to say about the work Of the farm has
very little interest in It. BOYS arc a

Although Washington has more
parks in proportion to its ize than
any city in the country until now 1t
has had no public playground. A res
ervation in the southeastern section
of the city has been improved and set
aside as playground for the children.
Football goal posts and cross bars
have been erected, a baseball diamond
has been mapped out, and other things
have been done which will contribute
to the enjoyment of the children. The
grounds have been ieveled and i'm
proved and hydrants have been erected
to supply water, and the reservation
Is perfectly drained. The cost of this
improvement was betrayed by philan-
thropist, who refuses to disclose his
identity. The work was done under
the direction of Col. Bingham, who
has charge Of public buildings and
grounds.
