HORSE MILLINERY.
Latest Fashions In Equine Head
Gear Being Rapidly Intro
duced In Canton.

For the first time in the history oi
Canton hats are being worn by horses
When the first team appeared on the
streets. wearing the new headgear
people turned to look and thought II
was only joke perpetrated by some
driver who had possibly been out all
night before, but in the course of few
days they recognized the humane idea
connected with this new fad, or style
in the manner of dressing the equine,
The custom, which is too good to be
called a fad. spread like prairie fire
and it was not long until 1t was no un.
common sight to see horses of all
breeds and weights stepping along
proudly all bedecked in the latest horse
millinery. The heavy draft horse. and
the light. nimble footed carriage animal
alike took to the style which also
brings so much comfort to the race.
Equine millinery manufacture prom
ises to become great and growing
industry and some idea of the magni.
tude may be gained when 1t is learned
that 1t Is almost impossible to fill the
orders, for the demand all over the
country has been phenomenal.
The Western Horseman says:
For several years past an occa-
sional horse, in our great cities, has
been seen wearing kind of hat. or sun
shade. on hot days, but not till this
summer has there been a decided move
for horse hats The Massachusetts
society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals is largely responsible for
the going out Of fashion of the hatless
horse In hot weather, and 1t is doubtful
If the society ever did a more sensible
thing. Danger from sunstroke, the so.
ciety argues. Is imminent during pro.
tracted heat spells, and hence the pro.
lection of horses by hats is not only a
humane. but business interest move
OF course, the horse hat Is a silly nov.
city in the eyes of some people, and
one metropolitan daily ironically asks,
Why not pants, too?'
This reminds us that horses do wear
great many things which men wear
and, indeed, between horses and wo.
men, men are left but few distinguish
ing garments, poor things. AS to
pants, horses have been wearing them
for years. John Browning started that
fashion years ago when he put pants

boots, shoes, collars, cuffs. linen dust.

as one of the most sensible and prac.
tical articles of horse apparel. May
progress speed the day when the horse
hat will cover every equine head dur

SOLDIER DEAD.
Word Comes of An nother Sacri-
flee Made in the Philip

Very sad news was conveyed to Mrs.
Martha Houser, at Jeromeville, when
she learned that her only son, Wilbert
Houser. had died on June IL in the far
off Philippine Islands, where he was a
soldier in the regular army, says the
Ashland Press. The word came in bri #
form and by the slow process of the
United States mail. 1t was in the form
of letter from Eliza Heifner. another
soldier there, to his sister. All the in
formation conveyed was in the follow

was unconscious all the time. His tenn
perature was 109. The doctor worked
with him all the time"
Those few words only hint at few
hours of the terrible suffering of q
strong young man, $1,000 miles away
from his widowed mother, left without
husband or child. She looked forward
to his coming home in six months, as
his term of service expired then. He
enlisted three years ago in the 18th u.
s. Infantry at Wooster with other
Jeromeville boys, one of whom died
there previously. He was rs years old
last month, and was born in the south
part of Perry township. He was good
hearted man, whose life was ended In
