HORSE IRREGULARITIES.
They Are Submissive In the Hands
of Some Men, While Others Cam
not Control Them.

There is something about a highly
organized, intensely nervous horse
that makes him quick to form likes or
dislikes, says Francis NJ. Ware, in Our
Noblest Friend: the Horse" Horses
are perfectly submissive in the hands
Of some men, although they have never
seen them before.
A certain horse dentist" was sent
for to attend to the teeth of a very
savage stallion, but, through a mis-
take, was not informed that the ami
NAL was vicious. He came, and find
ing no one in charge of the stable. and
seeing that there was only one stallion
there, concluded that that was the
patient. He entered the stall and was
busily working on the stations teeth
when the man in charge returned.
The groom could scarcely believe
his eyes, as he had himself for years
been the only one who could handle
the horse. The secret of it was that
the DOCTOR not knowing that the horse
was vicious, had no fear, and the horse
accepted him, very probably, since he
did not speak, as his regular attend |
ant.
Certain race horses have been known
either to fly into a frightful rage. or
to shake and sweat with dread when
they heard the voice of Jockey who
had brutally punished them in race;
yet this same rider could stand di-
rectly before them, and no demons ira
ton followed so long as he did not use
his voice; but the merest whisper was
enough to excite them.
One well-known race mare was so
upset every day by hearing the train
er's voice giving orders to the boy
-ider when at exercise that nothing
could be done with her until a code
If signals was arranged by means of
. stick. From that day, although the
rainer changed his appearance in no
aspect, she was perfectly quiet and
ractable, in spite of the fact that the
nan was always about her, both in and
ut of the stable. He might be in her
OK for long time, handle her in
ny way, but if he spoke she would
y at him instantly, and act like a. =.
lid thing for some time afterward.
Certain race horses also take such a
olent antipathy to certain riders :;
lat they will not try to race when
dden by them, but sulk and refuse
run; nor are these boys always
lose who have abused them.

Why is there all this great racket
over smoot? Who is smoot, any
how? From out of the din made by
clergymen, mothers congresses, w.
c. T. US and other alleged reform
participants in the melee we take II
smoot is a United States senator from
Utah an apostle Of the Mormon
church and an alleged polygamist.
Therefore. It is demanded that the
senate shall unseat him as a menace
to the safety Of the country and the
good morals Of the nation
We also note that Shoots prosecu-
tors are from the ranks Of the Repub'
lican party. which was the real agen'
cy in admitting Utah into the union
with full knowledge that it would lie
dominated by the Mormons. II is hard,
therefore to understand why all this
hullabaloo is being raised now over
the forseen inevitable consequences OF
their insistence that Utah should be
come a state and the Republican party
in the senate gain two new members
The only real point in the case is
whether smoot is a polygamist aud
therefore. a law-breaker. II he Is
his prosecutors should be able Il
prove It quickly II he is not, and he
swears he Is not, he ought 10 be able
to make that plain promptly But al

that whatever smoot may be, or MAJ
not be, he Is undoubtedly a Repabli

Hansbrough, Of North Dakota, was re-
Gently requested by naturalized cit
izen of his state to secure passports /
for him to Beirut Syria, and the sen
ator did so. In the performance of
this official duty the senator came I
across some conditions which he com /
municated In part TO the writer with /
the result that by investigation the
following facts were disclosed:
Whenever any naturalizel or native
born American citizen desires to Wis
it a foreign country it is necessary for
him to apply to the passport clerk
at the department OF state in Washing
ton for the forms of application In
asmuch as these forms are universally
required, copies of them have been
procured from the department of state
and are presented herewith not only
for the present interest of the reader
but that they may be preserved by
those who desire or may desire to
make use of it. The department OF
state is very averse to granting pass
ports to a naturalized American citi.
zen In a majority of cases where
naturalized American citizens return
to the country of their nativity even
with passports from the United States
government showing that they have
the protection of this government,
which is now recognized as one of
he great world powers, difficulty is
experienced in giving complete pro-
lection to such naturalized citizens.
Those who have been naturalzed in
this country after a nativity in Russia.
are granted passports, but always with
the earnest warning OF danger and the
urgent advice that they remain in the
country of their adoption rather than
run risk to themselves by going
home and thereby incurring interna.
. tional complications for our govern.
ment
1t is also ascertain in this conuec
. ton that the government OF Great
