A popular story now going thu
rounds in Washington tells how a west
ERR horse breeder wrote to a friend tt
inquire whether there was any marke
in that city for lot of very fine hoase!
that he owned. The friend is said tC
have replied that there was none
electricity drives the carriages" be
writes, mules pull the wagons; and
jackasses run the government. We
have no use for horses" As amatter CT
fact, however, the demand for horses is
as good now az it was before the day of
trolley cars, bicycles and motor vehi.
cles. How long it will last may be a
question, as it is product Of abnormal
conditions, in the Spanish American
and Philippine wars, but more than all
that iu!South Africa, which, it is COM
puted, will have used up 300, 900 horses
by the end of the present year. AZ horse
breeding, except for fancy purposes, had
greatly declined in the last few years,
such demand, centering chiefly upon
this country, and upon low market,
has naturally had a rich effect wher-
ever owners were able to supply it. 1t
is also truo that, since the passing of
horse cars, the other char ges In means
Of locomotion have had a surprisingly
less effect upon the use of the horse
than expected. Almost everywhere the
report is that livery business, expected
% be ruined by the new developments,
seems to be.about as good ar ever. The
horse, as a noble and intelligent animal
hat men love, cannot be displaced en-.
rely from the economy of our life.

| stopped ore of them and said roughly: "Now, then, are you all crazy here? | Where is MT. Duncan?"
 ''They carried him into the north room," was the answer. North room! Why didn't you carry him to the north pole and be done
 with it! Here, Stuart! Send one of
 the men down for my black case at the
 office and then come to your father" The doctor went down the long hall, turned to the right into another corri
 dor and entered a large room at the
 end.
 Lying over the bed in the middle of
 the room was a young woman. Her
 arms were clasped over the face of the
 man who lay there, and she had faint
 ed in that position.
 The doctor lifted her up just as Stu
 art entered.
 70 God! Louise, toov' he cried. The doctor gave him a look that
 calmed him and replied: ''No; she is in
 a faint. Now. then. use all the sense
 you have, and it won't be too much.
 You look after your sister while see
 to your father"
 He put Louise into Stuart's arms, who, with the servants help, soon re-
 stored her to consciousness, while the doctor turned to the man on the bed and in masterly manner proceeded to
 do all that his skill and keenness of practice could do.
 Ross Duncan lay like dead man. He was of powerful build and looked very stern and hard even as he lay there helpless. There was terrible gash over one of his eyes. He was covered with blood and dust, bruised from head to foot, with clothes torn and disfgured, but he had not lost con- sciousness, and, with the iron will which had always characterized him,
 he managed to let the doctor know his wishes.
 "All right.~all right, MT. Duncan" said the doctor in reply to whisper from the wounded man. 'I won't give you any aneesthetic if you don't want 1t. 1 shall have to sew up this little place over your eye, though. Has that tortoise got around with that case yeti" he asked Stuart, who had left Louise a minute to come over to the bed.
 ''He hasn't had time yet, doctor.
 "Why didn't he take my horses" crowded the doctor. "How is Louise? P Better. But what g terrible fall fa- ther must have hadr' Stuart felt for, his fathers hand, and Ross Dnncan'1 fingers closed over those of his ron. 4tuart kneeled by the bed and kssoed his II thlE.s cheek as he sa ss st s - ass # Arz =

PATRICkS NERVE GAVE JUL

From his youth until yesterday Pat rick Norton astonished his friends by his physical feats and his daring. But his nerve failed him yesterday and his fame is gone. in response to dare by his brother Michael, he climbed over the side of the river bridge at Mana yunk, declaring he would drop into the icy water below. But his heart failed him at the last moment and while he clung to slender gas pipe and cried for help Michael made faces at him and importuned him to drop.
 The Nortons, who lived in Mana yunk, were strolllng over the county bridge.
 sFor two pins 1 would drop into the Schuylkill,' said Patrick.
 You would not dare," said Michael.
 Patrick looked hurt. His brother doubted him. But his courage had been questioned. He took off his coat and climbed over the siGe of the bridge. Then he dropped a foot, catching hold of a gas pipe. which left him swing ing directly over the water. He looked down at the floating ice.
 Michael was impatient. "Why don't you drOp?' he asked at length.
 Patrick looked longingly up ill Mi cndel Iace- 1uefe was a tear Ol tel- TOT in his eye and his face was full of pain. His nerve had deserted him. He yearned to get back on the bridge and appealed with eyes and voice for Michael to help him, but Michael only stuck out his tongue and grinned.
 Half an hour later Patrick was still hanging. when Jacob LetZ and John Jones. milkmen. came along and pulled him uD on the bridge. Then Patrick fainted.- Press.

Referee Put Two Players Off the Floor i in Basket Bayy Game.
 2 The smallest crowd of the season attended the basket ball games at the opera house last night, but those who attended were amply repaid for bray ing the cold by the game which was played by the H. $. and the N. A. C. The first game was between the N. H. s. and N A. c. and was one of the fastest and most interesting games that has been played in the opera house this season. At the start the High school boys took the lead, Cllt- ford scoring the first basket. aided by beautiful blocking and excellent pass ing by the rest of the High school team. The N. A. c. then scored and 1t was nip and tuck to the end of the first half. which ended 12 to 10 in favor of the High school. After play was resumed in the second half the N. \. c. started anew and seemed to fairly walk away from the High school boys, but after the x. A. c. had scored three or four times with ease the High school team seemed tp wake up and go at the game again'and they again showed superiority ill team work ana managed to forge ahead. When there was about three minutes to play Cliff ford threw a basket, which won the game for the H. $. The passing of the H. s. team was excellent last night md if the boys would follow up their throws for baskets they would prob- ably score q few more points. The N. A. c. played good snappy game, but especial mention must be made of Car roll, who is, without doubt, the best guard in the league. The teams lined mp -as follows:

and all might have kept his father It was different home coming from that of his anticipation. The house stood back from the road on the side of the hill. It was a hand some brick mansion, surrounded by 8 dozen immense pines. Stuart loved the place, It was dear to his memories. He had no recollection of any other home, although he had been born in one of the eastern states. It was in this house that his mother had died when he was 10 years old. He owed his thoughtful romantic, truthful nature to her. From his father, on the other hand, he had inherited his slow, stubborn, occasional fierce bursting out of passionate feel ings. He thought of all the happy times in the old house where as boy and later as college man he had en- joyed all the luxuries of wealth and leisure and companionship.
 Suddenly man drove out of the roadway into which he and the doctor were just turning to go up to the house. Both men pulled up just in time to avoid running into each other.
 '1s that you, pr. SaXon:" shouted the man. T was just going for you. MT. Duncan has been hurt. The horses ran away this morning and'-
 Stuart did not wait to hear more He jumped out of the buggy and at the top of his speed cut through the grounds in front of the house. The doctor ut tered an exclamation, gave his horse one short stroke with the whip and dashed up the driveway like a whirl- wind. At the end of the long veranda he stopped long enough to jump out and let the horse go on to the barn. He met Stuart just leaping up the veranda steps.
 ''Now, then, my boy" said the doc tor quietly, filling up the doorway with his large frame and getting directly in front of Stuart, ''don't get excited This is my case, not yours''
 Let me by"' cried Stuart, his face almost black with passion. He is my father! Perhaps he is dying! What right have you to keep in the way?"
 Every we'll" The doctor spoke soft ly, almost like child He stepped aside and began to walk slowly down the veranda steps. "You have inherit ed the Duncan passion to perfection, but if your father dies through your nonsensical exercise of it just now don't blame me-
 Stuart made one stride and caught the doctors arm. Come backv' he said. All his black passion was gone in an instant. T will be a man like you. Come! You will perhaps need my help"
 The doctor looked keenly at him and at once turned around and entered the house with him. The incident would not mean anything without a knowl- edge of what was at stake on this oc- casion. But Dr. Saxon had good req son to believe that the life of the son in this instance was imperiled by the fearful excitement which at rare inter- vals broke out in him like a torrent To confront the father with him under those conditions might prove serious to them both.
 Within the house servants were run ming about in confusion. The doctor

 The second game was between the Y. NJ. c. A. and the [. c. w. c. and was a very rough game throughout. Although rough. the passing of the !. NJ. c. A. was good at times and at other times it was poor. During the early part of the first half TOmpkin- son fell against the steam pipes On the south side of the hall and received what was at first thought to be simply a bruise. but which proved to be broken nose. besides two cuts on the forehead. The score at the end of the first half was 10 to in favor of the Y. M c. A.. but during the second half the " nGel c1uD DOSS, WHO udll been strengthened by the addition of r. Dunning took a brace and quickly tied the score, when the Y. NJ. c. A. again took the lead. only to be passed by the Union City boys again. At this point of the game Sweeney and Tomp- kinson were both trying to get the ball on the north side of the hall. when some hot words ensued, and Sweeney drew back and hit Tompkinson across the jaw. At first it was question with the referee as to whether he should rule Sweeney off alone, or both men, Referee Stapleton at last decid- ed that both men should leave the floor. At this decision Captain Ensign of the '. NJ. c. A. kicked, and the case was argued, but Referee Stapleton re- fused to budge from his decision and Captain Ensign called his players off the fioor thereby forfeiting the game to Union City by the score of 20 to IS. Captain Ensign immediately took measures to have the game protested and most likely it will have to be set tied by the board of directors of the league. The teams lined up as fol lows:

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Favorable Report on the Bill PrOvid-
ing for an Appropriations.

The committee report on the ST. Louis
exposition appropriation bill was submit
ted to the House yesterday by Chairman
Tawney of the special committee. The re-
pert says. in part:
However much men may have hereto
fore opposed the holding of national or in
ternational expeditions under the author
ity and by the aid of the national govern
ment, there is in this instance, in view Of
the action Of this Congress in the last ses-
sion, no ground upon which a refusal to
authorize the holding of the proposed cele-
bration and the giving of financial aid from
the national treasury for the purpose of
carrying the same forward to success can
now be withheld. In view Of this fact and
believing that this first great international
event In the history of our nation should
be appropriately celebrated this bill is re-
ported for favorable action
Representatives Williams of Mississippi
and Otey of Virginia, filed minority re-
port against the bill If presidents could
justify such an appropriation. they say,
presidents ample and numerous can be
found in the legislation in aid of the ex-
positions at Philadelphia. New Orleans,
ATLANTA. Chicago and Buffalo. But they do
not think presidents can give Congress
powers not delegated. and that all that a
questionable precedent can do Is to ''re-
turn to plague it's inventors"
