Two we'll known horsemen Of Phil
adelphia were telling about some of
their old favorites and the kindly
feeling they had toward them in not
working them too hard, but letting
them do as they liked in their old age
The older of the horsemen said:
"One of my best horses was sent
out to Kansas to pass the rest of his
days quietly on farm; the farmer
had a barn stored with corn, which
took fire one cold afternoon and as
the heat was so intense it managed
to pop the corn very quickly, which,
with the strong wind blowing at the
time, caused the corn to fly about in
all directions. The old mare stood
watching this for a few minutes,
thought it was snow, and then lay
down and froze to death"

''To Welded Life"

Laughter and the music of guitars
sounded through the half-open door
way of a restaurant in the Italian
quarter. It was an air from Car
men" the musicians played. Into the
middle of 1t broke a woman's voice,
vibrant, dramatic. Only a few bars
it sang, then stopped as suddenly as
1t had begun. The players continued
as IL no voice had been heard. The
laughter, which had subsidized quickly,
was renewed With it broke out a
salvo Of applause.
Schuyler Thompson halted before
the door. He was strange to San
Francisco, and he hesitated about en-
tering Then he saw the name San
guinetti" above the entrance. The
name seemed familiar. Had he heard
it in the Palace Hotel? Yes, that was

past 1t. Before the applause had
ceased, he was inside.
. Along the right side of the room
was q long bar. Behind it were
glasses and bottles. On the other
side were tables, most of them occu-
pied and laden with dishes. II was a
plain place, almost shabby. White
sand covered the floor lightly, plowed
into little burrows by trailing skirts.
Odors of Italian cooking and cigarette
smoke filed the air.
The handclapping ended and one
after another, almost simultaneously,
the diners lifted their glasses
toward one woman, held them in the
air until they caught her glance, then
drank to her. 1t was readily done,
gracefully, easily, spontaneously. She
smiled and turned to her escort.
Thompson seated himself at a
table near the singer. Before he gave
his order to the waiter he asked who
she was. She was the prima donna
of the Italian opera company playing
in the Tivoli opera house, the waiter
told him, woman who sung Carmen
with force and abandon suggestive

bad terms with himself and the world
for three days. He was desperately
ashamed Of his predtcament and for
weeks after he had no confidence to-.

That ill-smelling incident put Tige
wise to strange black and white noe
turnal animals, and thereafter he
was mighty careful about trying to
put stray cats up handy tree. II

quicker than he could snap at the bite
of flea. At such times he seemed
to remember the Understanding dis

that looked like a cat put it all over
him.
"Tige knew skunks, and after his
first catch-as-catch-ean with one of EN-
he seemed to have made UP his mind
that the only safe way to fight them
was to maneuver beyond the danger
line and bark out a lot of sass and
abuse. He had been bitten by coons
an woodchucks and being an apt pup
he learned to run around his quarry,
feint for a drawout and when oppor--
tunity blossomed jump in and get a
strangle hold. But porcupines were
new to Tige. They are no good as
game and until the enactment of the
25c bounty law there was no in
centive to hunt them, but a whole
lot of it to let them alone. Their
blamed quilts are like bad habit.
Once they get heshed into man or
beast they work deeper. Being barbed
they pull out like fishhooks. The kind
of porcupines we have in this part Of
the country are greedy bark eaters,
and it is the inside of the bark that
they prefer. Their front teeth are

been made.
"Porcupines are fool animals. Their

either don't know enough or don't

There's one thing you don't want
to do when YOU hunt porcupines,"

there, "and that is sic a green dog

eagerness to be away.

All That Is Left Of Them In Upper
Manhattan.
1t is safe to say that there isn't a
city in all the world where sentiment
counts for so little as it does in New
York, when 1t comes to the preserva-
ton of historical objects. This is no
better illustrated than Convent ave-
nue., between 1920 and 1896 streets.
At one time a fence surrounded the
little group of trees to protect them
from vandalism, and an inscription
told the stranger that they were
planted by Alexander Hamilton in
commemoration of the thirteen orig
inal states. But eight of the trees
are now standing, only three of which
show any sign of life by putting forth
their scant foliage of fresh green.
This springs foliage will probably
be the last spring garb the historical
old gums will ever don, as building
has crept up close, only a few vacant
lots remain in which they are the
center. The building stones of the
Lady of Lourdes Church are scatter
ed all around, and even the trees
themselves which Hamilton set out
with such beautiful, patriotic senti-
ment, are covered, high as the sign
hanger could reach, with real estate
advertisements of For Sale" An
ignoble death for these relics of the
colonial days of the new republic!

Prejudice Net Because o. Malaria,
But 70 Save Fuel.
The theory that the necessity OF ex-
Guiding from houses the injurious
night air is the cause the world over
Of the practice of poor ventilation
will not hold II is at least not the
sole nor the chief reason OF the
prejudice against fresh air.
Manifestly it does not obtain for
countries in which there is no mos
quito. In cold climates, and especial
ly in the winter season, the theory
has no applicability. and another ex-
PLANTATION must be found.
This is, we believe, the necessity
that exists, especially among the vast
majority of the poor, to economize
warmth A large portion of the peas
ants of France to-day secure this
economy by keeping their domestic
animals at night in the combined
house and stable.
Il In Arctic climates and in winter
even in temperate zones, and especial
ly in previous centuries, the securing
of sufficient clothing and saving the
loss of warmth has doubtless been
chief cause of the universal fear Of
ventilation.

tries medical college lecture rooms

utilizing the foul but warm exhala.

students, who in anger cry out against

agent in tuberculosis and many other
