DocK-TAILED HORSES.
Recent Accident Illustrates Folly and
Danger of the Practice.
The Horseman.

The HorSeman.
The folly and danger of the practice Of
docking horses tails was illustrated in
Chicago a short time ago, when a mutt
lated horse ran away and collided with an
open car Striking the car sideways, he
dashed among the passengers and injured
several of them severely.
The horse had, according to all ac-
counts, become Infatuated with the i'm
mense number of flies which were tor
menting him. and in an effort to escape
he ran. Once started there was no stop
ping until he had wrecked the open car
and seriously injured the occupants.
SO long as a dockod horse is in the
stable of the person who originally had
| the operation performed, and this may
have been done indh sctly, because the
purchaser would have no other than a
locked tailed horse in his stable he is
all right for as a rule he will have
plenty of care and will not be exposed
to the annoying torture of the flies.
But IL is later in life that the real cru
city begins. After the horse loses his
form to an extent he is no longer desired
in the fashionable stable and he is sent
to the auction block. Eventually he finds
his way to the man who will put him in
a delivery wagon and then the poor an
imal realizes the loss of his tail. Left
standing in the sun and surrounded Ly
his tormentors, 1t is not to he wondered
at that he at last becomes frantic and
runs away.
That is what the fashionabies should
consider when they encourage the dealers
to multilate their horses in order to effect
sale at big price. and it is this phase
of the subject that seldom occurs TO
them. few accidents Of this character
might result in making more effective
the present laws against docking horses
and it might be productive of new laws
in States wheFeI there are none.
1t would be a sad commentary on the
humanity Of men if the abolition of
docking should only be brought about
by the loss of human lives. Society, lead
ers would do well TO consider this sub
ject and decide against having mutifated
horses in their stables. The horse as ma
ture made him is a much more handsome
animal than the one trimmed up to suit
the fashionable fancy.
But perhaps society will do nothing un-
til so many locked horses have been grad
uated from the brougham and landau that
every hucksters' wagon in the country
will boast of a dock tailed horse Then
the era of the long tailed horse as an ad-
junct to the fashionable turnout will COM

Cliff Shakespeare Mentioned.

The British military authorities have
proposed the destruction of a famous
cliff 300 feet high near Dover, to give
the heavy coast artillery a wider range.
Dover's corporation objects most seri-
ously, as the cliff has been rendered
forever famous by a reference in the
fourth act of King Lear" The refer

of Gloster:
There is a cliff, whose high and bending

Looks fearfully in the confined deep;
Bring me but to the very brim of 1t,
And I'll repair the misery thou dost bear,
With something rich about me; from

her pointed finger and said:
