flly to be frightened or cruelty treated.
She will not even let it be chased into
an angle of the fence to be caught.
When. therefore. the mistress steps
into the paddock with the colts, they
flock around her, and even a stranger
may walk UP to one of the young crea-
lures and lay his hand upon it and thus
catch it. In horse parlance.
At her last sale the woman horse
breeder reduced her stock considerably,
so that she now has less than 20 brood
mares, but these are of the purest blood
and best form. True to the spirit of old
Kentucky, Mrs. Ferguson centers her
affection and interest in the thorough
bred. 1t is not unlikely that in future
animals from the Kingston stable, en-
tered by their owner. viii follow the
circuit. It is. said there is scarcely a
man in the United States who is so IA
miliar with Thoroughbred history and
pedigree as Mrs. Ferguson is.

WHY SOME GIRLS
LACK LOVERS

Why, indeed2 There IS the girl who
never tries to be agreeable unless she
may have all her own way. This type
of girl is never successful in her love
affairs. Be a man ever so smitten with
a girl. he is but human and will not
give way in every little thing. As the
old lady said: Keep a man in hot wa
ter little while, and he boils soft. But
let him remain in hot water, and even
tually he hardens." Yes, and then he
asks himself a serious question He
considers that a girl who is so contrary
during courtship will be no better as a
wife. and SO for his own sake and for
hers ne rides away.

make love because there is nothing
whatever in her to love, and, as Bridget
has it, "one cannot make nothin out
of nothin-'' So this damseI scowIs at
what she considers their bad taste. ut
terly ignoring the fact that her own
foolish conduct is the sole cause of
their seeming neglect. Imagine q man
wooing an ice maiden or an Egyptian
sphinx.
Another girl without lover is the
exceedingly shy maiden. She likes 10

retire simply out of pity, seeing her dis

Finally, the girl who does not want q
lover-the home girl. who finds a joy
in domestic employment and is bliss
fully happy in following her round of
duties There are many SUCH Perhaps
they dream Of an ideal lover. but he is
so far away or so out of reach that she
is content to dream of him as an mat

though generally late on in life. She
never loves passionately. but her af-

THE REFRIGERATION OF THE EN-
GAGGED MAN

Have you ever noticed how circum-
spect even a firtatious man may be
when he is paying serious attention to
a young lady?
But young girls should not be salts
fed when such q man has but partially
reformed
If he smokes and drinks and has all
the other vices in the calendar before
marriage, depend upon it that nine
times out of ten he win not reform aft
er wedlock, for it is not every man who
can change the habits and impulses
which have become deeply grated in
the bone and turn over a new leaf.
What a man will not do before mar
rage is no criterion Of what he VIII do
afterward.
If woman has not influences enough
to effect a reform in the days of court
ship, depend upon it her chances will
grow alarmingly simmer after he has
led her to the altar to be sacrificed.
If he does not keep his promises be-
fore marriage, that will be one of the
rocks ahead in life.

near Lexington Ky a collection of
thoroughbreds nearer to the heart of
the noted turfman than anything else
in this life except his wife. Partly to
honor his memory. largely also because
she loves horses and was brought up
among them in the blue grass region.
Ferguson's widow continued the King
ston stud and has added another to the
short list of women horse bEeeders in
the United States.
The business is not new to her. She
has been stepped in the atmosphere OF
it from childhood. She was a niece of
Price McGrath. a noted rearer of thor
oughbreds and a man whose racing
coiors-orange and green-seldoIn came
in last A love Of th0rou ghbreds was
breathed in by the young lady. and
when she married the famous turfman
ferguson it seemed only natural that
she should take charge of the Kingston
breeding stables while her husband was
away on the race circuit doing duty as
a starter. At the establishments there
were foaled, reared and trained IA
horses that earned for Mr.. Ferguson
$4,000, and these splendid animals
were bred and taken care of under the
supervision of his wife
In her girlhood a. brilliant social ia
vorite, Mrs Ferguson was also an heir
ess of the McGrath estate She and
her husband built a beautiful country
home. To It were brought heirlooms
from the McGrath place, including a
service of solid silver plate, a complete
silver dinner set, a tea set, numerous
punch bowls and a magnificent silver
cup. trophies of turf exploits. Mr. Fer

high bred horses have every luxury
compatible with good health and activ-

truth, all the stables; have their thor

these equine beauties is extremely rare.
Mrs. Ferguson's plan, which was her

number of horses. but to have them of
the choicest type. Pursuing this policy,
from time to time there is a sale of
Kingston horses, at which yearlings
