Owners Of Dandy Lambert Colts

The testimonials that have been

weeks have been given just to show
other owners that these colts, if
from good mares and properly fed
and cared for, make nice driving
horses that sell readily at good
prices. We might print many more
such testimonials, but as it is now
time to put the colts in winter quar-
tiers a few words in regard to care
and keeping, showing the most sue
ccessful methods as proven by &C
tual experience with these colts,
may be helpful to some who have
not been successful, or have had lit

PARENTS WORTH HAVING.

My father and mother can never be beat
They're the incest that ever were made.
They remember the fun they had when
they were young,
And all OF the games that they played.
And, better than all, they play with as
themselves,
Yes really ana truly, they DO,
Every night after dinner till bedtime has
There's Willie and Burton and Prue,
And AIice-that's me-and my father and
mother
Enough for some royal good fun.
We play Blind Mans Buff and Hide-and-
GO-Seek,
You should see how my mother can run!
They don't either one OF them mind being
lit"
And they always are awfully fair.
We none Of US think the games any fun
Unless all the players are square
And every new game We teach father and
mother;
They teach all the old ones to US;
So We romp and we play big and little to-
gether,
With never a sign of fuss.
But sometimes a stranger man comes to
our play
He creeps in so quiet and still
That We don't know he's here till We hear a
deep sigh
From out littlest one-that is VIII.
Then We know that the Sand Man has
joined in our play
And is trying to put us to sleep.
Then father and mother both kiss us good
night
And away into Dreamland we creep.

PERU BARS BULL FIGHTS.
The Brutal sport of Spanish Races
Is Prohibited in the Land
of the Incas.

Bull-fghting in South America is
probably ended forever. The last
spectacle of the kind, which occurred
at Lima, Peru. on February ., was such
a dreadful sight that even the crowd
which witnessed it and which has been
wont to glory in the bloody sport was
appalled,, reports the Philadelphia
North American.
1t happened in the Plaza de Toros,
the great amphitheater founded by
PiZZaro two and a half centuries ago,
There We're present 10000 men, women
and children, including the president
of the republic.
Renowned matadors were to give
exhibitions of their art and the most
famous of them, "Espada" Pepe-Hillo,
was to do the killing.
Amid a blaze of trumpets this fight
ing brigade, clad in the picturesque
garb of ancient Spain, entered the
arena. At signal the bull was let
in. He was a black, fiery brute.
The toreros and picadors were wild
ly cheered again and again as they
shook their scarlet capas in the en-
ragged animals face. Several of them
had narrow escapes from death. Two
had to vault over the stockade to es-
cape the charge of the maddened ami
NAL. By this time the bull was tear
ing the ground in splendid rage. His
! prosecutors were augmented by the
arrival of a small army of dart-throw-
ers, who added to his fury by pricking
| him with their beribboned arrows.
| One of their number, the chief of the
| band, and banderillo more daring
| than the rest, even leaped upon his
| back and, while balanced on his horns,
! planted two arrows between his Shout
ders. The extraordinary feat was
greeted with deafening applause.
| There were other exhibitions of cour-
age, but as time wore on the audience
wearied of them and cried: Make
an end of it. Let him die"
Then it was PepeHillo's turn to dis
tinguish himself.
For awhile the great matadoI
fenced with his furious opponent il
scholarly, scientific fashion. Final

your salary!" Then, when he tried tC

VOCABULARY OF A DOG.
GrowIs That Vary in Expression,
Showing That the Animal
Knows How to Talk

Suppose you are out walking with
friend and go into the yard where his
dog guards the property. The dog
comes bounding towards you, wagging
his tail so violently that his whole
body twists and turns. OF course, you
know what this sign language means.
AS the dog comes toward you he
barks three or four times. 1t is joy
GUS bark which tells you at once how
glad he is to see his master. AS he
draws near he recognizes you as a
stranger and at once retreats. A low,
slow growl gurgles up from deep in his
throat. 1t is simply challenge and
an inquiry-a question mark.
But a dog growls when he becomes
angry at another dog and wishes to
enter a fight. Listen closely the first
opportunity that presents itself and
you will learn how different are these
two growls. The growl of inquiry is
slow and rather deep, while that of an
ger is higher and is given with greater
rapidity.
If you will watch carefully, another
| pecuIlaflty Will be seen-the WHOLE
facial expression of the animal changes
with these two kinds of vocal express
sion. When dog growls at the ap-
proach of a stranger the face Is
rather placid and you will see that the
| lips hang well over the teeth and the
hair along the dogs back lies fiat. In
anger the eyes become abnormally
bright, the teeth show white between
the tightly drawn lips, and the long
hair of the back stands almost on end
Another sound which dog makes is
the long-drawn howl which is usually
heard when he sits under the light OF
the moon and tells how unutterably
lonely he is. This same sound is some
times heard when large bell is rung
or a tin horn blown close to the ami
NAL. 1t would seem that the howl is
used almost exclusively to express
some peculiar emotion caused by a
loud and prolonged noise, or, on the
other hand, by impressive Stiffness
