There are more ponies IN this city than

are several blue ribbon winners in n ORTIZ
ern shows. Imported Shetlands are very
rare, and the majority OF ponies seen
come from the countries of Eastern
Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina,
where they roam wild along the coast
browsing the coarse, sea grass or sand
weeds. This gives. them unusual strength
for their size and he exposed life they

Children. and Servants.

Perhaps there is no greater source of
friction in a household with servants
than the habit of allowing the children
of the family to be impertinent and ty-
rannical. This should never be permitted.
Nothing is more ill-bred and more dis
astrous to both Servants must do a
great deal of extra. work where there
are children in the house.. 1t is impos-
zsible to arrange matters SO that this
will not be true, and thu. least that can
be done is to have the children courteous
in manner and speech. If children see
their parents polite it will be second ma
ture for them toAbe polite also, and their
rare lapses will be forgiven quickly.
Every one agrees that servants should
not be permitted to punish. children or
be unkind to them; but children should
mot be permitted to torment a servant,
and parents who excuse it are responsible
for their own discomfort. Neither should
children be allowed to bring disorder into
a kitchen or to dirty it 'wilfully.-Agnes
Bailey Ormsbee in the April Woman's
Home Companion.

ers held hurried conference with him
when the money was taken forward.
At its conclusion Mr.. Atwater said:

dropped $40 gold piece into the COL

to exchange 1t for the amount he in
