By FREDERICK MOORE.

TINE Presidents celebrated saddle
horse is bobtailed. but every pos
sible indTcement is being offered
the tail to reach out to its full
length. The tail is now painfully
ugly length, about three feet. Those
among the ihrong which waits at the
White House gate each evening, who no
tice details about horses, always remark
upon Bleistein's detail. Here is the tale
of the tail:
The Presidents horse is a renowned
hunter, worth 81, 400. though the Presi-
dent would not take for him five times
his intrinsic value. BIeistein can hurdle
nve feet six inches with the Presidents
1S5 pounds on his Lack Down at Oyster
Bay the cruelty il is to iiock horses tails
had not been brought 20 the Presidents
attention and he followed fashions pre-
ferred tail length. When he arrived
at Washington a vigorous crusade was
about beginning against the extreme
style that prevails at the Capital, so
short that it borders on vulgarity.
1t has been said. and wisely, that a man

that It is wrong. 1t is not within the
power OF a human being TO see all the
wrong he does. Every one Of his friends
sees a new error in him. to say nothing
of his enemies. But 1t is possible 10 cor
rect ones wrongs when they are brought
before one.
Presidential Conscience Awakened.
The President is not the man to allow
public opinion to swerve him unless pub
lie opinion is right. Being a man OF the
utmost consideration for the dumb beast,
he was easily pointed out the error OF his
ways in the docking Of his horses' tails,
and Immediately thereupon he gave orders
TO his secretary, who in turn handed them
down the line till the foreman of the
Presidential stables received the word
that hereafter Bleistein's tail was not to
be maintained neat club shape, but was
to be urged TO resume the symmetry of
which 1t had so long been deprived; in
other word. Bleistein's rear attachment
should DO longer be detached, but an
elongation of it should be brought about
AZ speedily as any known hair inyigorator
would DO the work.
Because of their bobtails. it was said,
The Washington times., 1902-01-12

| but really because the pair were not what
a Presidents horses should be. the Ex-
/ ecutive did not bring with him 4 pair of
! carriage horses he used at his Long Isl
and home. He purchased a new pair here,
but refused all the short-tailed animals
| offered him, and selected a handsome pair
with beautiful flowing appendages. Yang
ka, Mrs. Rooseyelts saddler, and al
most as worthy an animal as her hus-
bands, possessed the required tail length
The First Lady OF the Land views it un-
becoming a gentlewoman to ride a cur
tailed horse, and the said First Lady was
not deprived, therefore, Of her favoritc
steed.
The President could not, even to set an
example, part with Bleistein and relegate
him to some pasturage till his tail re
gained its length, but promised tacitly
that the horses tail should be short n
longer than it would by nature, and Nj
Roosevelt was unanimously selected
member of the anti-bobtailed horse cru
saders ION the strength" OF his carriage
horse purchase.
To Make Docking Illegal.
AS a result, also, of the Presidential
recognition Of the evil, a bill was intro
duced in the Senate by the Hon. Jacob
H. Gallinger of New Hampshire. making
it unlawful for any person TO dock the tail
Of horse or other working animal within
the limits of the District of Columbia.
The title of the bill is TO prevent cruelty
to certain animals in the District CT Co
lumbia," and it goes into the subject thor
oughly. Provision is made for the regis
tering Of horses with docked tails. and it
is made unlawful for any person Ito
import or bring into the District any
locked horse o. horses. or TO drive, work,
use, race, or deal in any unregistered
docked horse or horses within the Dis
trict Of Columbia"
The bill further provides that within
ninety days after the passage OF this act
every owner or user OF any docked horse
within the District of Columbia shall reg
lister his or her horses by filing in the Of
flee OF the Commissioners Of the District
OF Columbia a oertiG ate which shall con-

A.PLEASANT SURPRISE

When YOU read that5a sufferer. of many
Years standing has been completely re-
stored to health by using Smiths Cure
ALL YOU are inclined to doubt the state
ment and, in fact, have no belief in 1t
whatever. The reason for this is that
so much Is claimed for the Cure-all it is
impossible for anyone to believe it; if the
advertiser confined his claims to the
curing OF one disease. as do the pro-.
prietors OF Pyramid Pile Cure, readers
would have much more faith in publish
ed testimonials. Those familiar with this
great remedy know that testimonials as
to its merit may be relied upon impli-
city. also that the cures brought about
.by its use are little short of marvellous.
The genuineness of the testimonial here
given is youched for and is but one OF
thousands received.

her, and thought would try it. as / had

IRENE pain and getting up was just IS

He was married to a coiored woman,

the body was brought here for burial.
The Chnaman died of consumption in
