That the mental condition of a per-
son who is suffering from some physi-
cal ailment may be judged from the
condition of his finger nails was re-
Gently shown by DR.. Marco, an Ital-
ian physician, who has for some time
been making Investigations in this d.
rection. According to him, patient
whose nails are not quite smooth, but
contain many burrows, is subject to
acute diseases, which makes the nails
defective He also maintains that a
series of grooves will be found in the
nails of those persons who are men,
tally unbalanced, and especially OF
those who are periodically afflicted by
some form of mental disturbance, and
that from simple examination of the
nails any skilled physician can tell
how frequent and how violent the
mental attacks will be. AS DR.. Marco
has carefully examined the nails Of
hundreds of patients and is widely
known as a scientist of high rank. his
novel doctrine in regard to the value
of nails as indicators of health is nat
urally attracting wide attention.

This reads like fairy tale, but it is
true At the sale of the late Marcus
Days thoroughbreds William Lake
land, one of our we'll known metro
politan trainers, bought Ogden for
$4,000. This is q valuable horse by Kill
warlin-Oriole, foaled in 1894, winner
of the Futurity of his year and many
other important events and whose
family figures show twelve English
Derby winners. All this just to show
the kind of gentleman he is Lakeland
wished him taken down to his Sleeps
head stables that night and after a
talk with his foreman, Frasch, Ogden
was dispatched by road in the care Of
a colored stable boy, to whom Lake
land gave IS as an inducement to
take extra care of the horse Blanket
ed and hooded from hOOfS to ear tips,
Ogden serenely wendell his way
through the falling snow, and doubt
less wondered if he were going back
to Montana and the familiar Bitter
Root farm. Later Mr.. Lakeland went
home and sat up hour after hour wait
ing for the coming of his new pur-
chase, but none came. His feelings
may be better imagined than describ-
ed. He loves his horses, as evinced
by his wonderful success with Tea
Tray and other erratic animals which
he brought round to proper state Of
mind. He sat up all night, sending
messengers in all directions until
dawn, and by that time he was ready
to take up the quest himself. 1t was
not the money that was worrying him;
it was the exposure of a good horse to
the inclement weather and what the
probable results might prove. Just
then came a call from the telephone
which sent him flying down the bOule-
ward at rapid gait. The police pre-
cinct wanted to know if he had lost
horse and what he was like, report
ing that Ogden had been found by
an officer standing in the road, with
the colored boy drunk at his feet. In
other words, the horse was taking care
of the drunken lout, as many horse
has done before, and will again, bless
them for it, Mr.. Lakeland found
Ogden safe and sound at the precinct.
apparently very much at home, and
soon had him in his own stall. AS for
the stable boy, Mr.. Lakeland declined
to bother with him. He did not want
a justifiable case of assault and bat
terry on his hands. He had Ogden and
that was all he cared about.-Spirit OF
