$4,000 FOR SADDLE HORSE
Rex Mcdonald, Prize Winner, Owned BY
Ralph Orthwein, Is Wanted Bad
" BY B. E Hisey, Of Mexico.

What is probably the record price
ever offered for a saddle horse was
made yesterday afternoon by r. E.
Hisey, Of Mexico, to Ralph Orthwein,
president Of the American League
base bali club, the latter's great show
horse, Rex Mcdonald, being the coyet-
ed animal.
Mr.. Hisey wanted to buy the animal
badly, and wound up his bid at 49,
600. The offer was promptly refused,
Mr.. Orthwein saying that there was
not money enough in the city to in
duce him to relinQuish possession OF
the champion of the fve7gaited class.
George MunSon, Dewey Hickey and
DR.. Apologize were in the party when
the offer was made.
Rex Mcdonald is considered the
greatest saddle horse in the fye-gait-
ed class in the country. He has won
so many prizes at horse shows that he
has been barred at New York, the
judges agreeing that no other horse in
the country can compare with him in
his class.
Rex Mcdonald is by Rex Denmark
out Of Lucy Mcdonald, two OF the
greatest saddle strains in the world.

AS stated in the Poa-Dip0tch, the
organization known as the Kings
Daughters and Sons, has begun the
work Of building an old ladies' home
at Mexico Mo-, for the old and DEEPEN
dent women Of the State. Most Of
the work up 10 this date has been done
by members Of the order at Mexico,
Mr.. VIM. Harper, Of that city, being
the president Of the local board OF the
order and the prime mover in the en-
terprise.
The Kings Daughters and Sons Of
Mexico are to be commended for their
enterprise and altruistic spirit. 1t is
to be hoped that they win be ably aided
by Missourians R~eneraIIy.
The home is 10 be a State Institution
and already many applications for adj
mittance have come In.
Missouri needs sneh a home. But IL
is hardly fair to expect the Kings
Sons and Daughters TO bear all the
expense Of erecting and maintaining
ii. President Harper appeals foI
funds to set the enterprise on a sub
stantial footing. A site has beer
bought and a few thousand dollars are
in hand. The home should be found
ed and maintained in a manner worthy
Of Missouri.
