SLIPPERY WEATHER BAD
ON WASHING TON HORSES

Slippery weather is almost the worst
thing that can befaII the horses of Wash
ington, said a woman who, as a member
of the Humane Society has done yeoman s
work in bringing cases of cruelty to the
attention Of the society. The reason Is
because no man seems to be gifted with
the foresight to know that 1t will freeze
hard overnight; consequently he is in
yariably surprised to find that his smooth
shod horses have formed a habit Of fan
ing down. The injured innocence and in
dignation of the drivers when their
horses have the bad taste to fall down
and not get up again are unspeakable.
Most of them just sit up on their perch
and yank on the horses mouth till he
sees things in their light and struggles to
his feet. I have murder in my heart
when I see one Of those brutes in human
form complacently holding down the box
seat and abusing the animal for what
wasn't its fault
When the rails are slippery motor
men sprinkle sand before their cars.
Why doesn't II occur 10 some driver to
equip himself on an icy day with a sup
ply of sand? When his horse gets stuck
or is in danger Of falling why not give
him an artificial foothold by sprinkling
sand in front OF him. Such q remedy
would be cheaper than losing time (which
is money!, or than breaking a horses leg
and having 10 buy new horse"

NEW YORK POLICEMAN

Otto Rafael is q New York policeman.
He was appointed by Theodore Roose-
Welt when the President was police com
missioner, and whenever he gets a holt
day he utilities it by calling on his old

President when he was governor and he
dropped IN at the White House one day
this week. The President was glad to

some of his best boys to try for places

fellows We want" he said.

it before, but remarked that there was
one boy in the number whom be would
like to see appointed His name was
Otto Rafael President Roosevelt jump

pointment the next day. He was big,
muscular fellow, with powerful hands
and arms, who might have developed
into prizeftghteT. He did develop into
one of the best men on the force.
He sent for his father and mother
from Russia-he was a Russian Hebrew

a sister and her husband well started in
business out in Wyoming The Presi-
dent met them when he was on his
Western trip In 1896 When Rafael
turned up this week the President asked
him where he was stationed. The young
man gave the name of his captain.
