HUMOR IN HORSES.
Story of an Animal That Has More
Than Its Share,

Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have a sense
Of humor. Jimmy Is u lively road
horse who has ideas of his own and
very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected small tent on the lawn and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they were banditti jim
my walked softly up to the side of the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through convenient slit, says Our
lowed and, his head once within at the
back of the unsuspicious jewellers, Jim.
my gave one tremendous sneeze of that
kind which is half snort.
The banditti fell back in every dlrec-
ton, and the horse, withdrawing from
the tent, laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back to his grass cropping.
Jimmy's favorite amusement is that Of
scattering flock Of sheep. When he ia
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scudding
over the hillside. Then he stands watch
ing them until they again settle to their
nibbling and after a short luncheon Of
his own repeats the pleasing diversion.
Although this horse Is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world, it pleases him ex-
ceedingly to frighten any one who has
shown timidity in his presence.
Jimmy's two mistresses harness him
without trouble or danger. but he de-
lights in alarming one girl cousin who
visits Mt the house. Sundry fidgetings
and nervous starts of her own were
enough to show Jimmy Of what man.

thes @ ideas come from the coaches and the
oarmaker.
To secure stiffness and strength and
qualities is the problem which the oar
maker and the coach must solve.

lumber districts. After long search he
secures just the proper wooden blocks and
Then he begins his final work with plane

no difference how much the oar costs, the
athletic manager of the big uni vereity is

Circumstances and a natural mechanical
ability led Ted Shea into making oars of
unusual excellence. His father was an

always lived near the Connecticut River
until he went to New York,w where he worked
In u factory.
Afternoons when he was free from his

TED SHEA, OAR MAKER.
4 Mechanic Who Has His Part In YAIe's
Victories Over Harvard.

When the or owds hurry down to New
London next month to witness the annual
Harvard-Yale boat race, the crews and the
boats will absorb their attention until the
race fairly begins. and then all eyes will
be glued on the long graceful oars, every dip
of which is bringing the shells nearer the
goal.
How much depends on these oars only
the oar makers and the coaches know,
although some Of the onlookers often gasp:
"Supposing one of those oars should break!'
As a matter OF fact the oar maker has be-
come big factor in college boat race and,
according to Ted Shea of Springfield. Mas.
several of the seconds lost by Harvard in
the race last June went through their oars.
Ted Shea has made oars for three seasons

Is it necessary for a woman to tell her
age? A variety OF opinions exists regarding
, this delicate subject.
Il don't think there is a particle OF neces-
sity for woman's telling her age says
one woman, adding, but II IL equally USE
less for her not to tell 1t. There is always
some one who knows 1t, and, therefore,
if you attempt to prevaricate you are GER
tain to be found out"
This IL quite true. 1t never falls that
lust at the point when you have cleared
away all difficulties and convinced every
body that you are quite young, some dear,
goodman ured friend is sure to pop up and
say:
.Why, yes, such and such thing hap

So what is the use OF keeping the truth

There Is no reason. however, why
woman should go on the housetop and pro-

of It. Don't do it, and don't think you are
old. No one nowadays is old. 1t is I'M

PASSING or THE ALLIGATOR.
Cyrus hatcher Recalls It's Former Abund-
ance in Florida.


-In July, 1879, near my home in Polk
county, Fla" said Cyrus Balcher, Il was
one Of a party Of nine men who Joined
in an alligator hunt on what was
known as the Hooker Prairie but in reality
was a chain Of bayous Within an area or
less than one mile around we despatc he'd
22t alligators. They ranged in size from
2feet to 10, the average length being 7 feet.
Il came North twenty years ago and did
not go back to Florida until last winter.
when ] visited my old home. When l ex-
pressed a wish to 60 out and bag a few
alligators folks looked at me in surprise.
and told me there hadn't been ali ALI gat or
on Hooker Prairie in ten years, and people
around there had almost forgotten what an
alligator looked like.
"Hunting the reptiles for the leather
market had caused them to become ex-
tinct where they had once been almost az
plentiful as the flies that covered them
as they l,asked in the sun. And with the
departure OF the alligators, they told me,
the flies had also almost entirely disap-
peared.
Il remember once. In those good old
alligator days, a party OF us were out deer
hunting Our dogs started deer and
took it to the river. into which 1t plunged,
TO swim across.
at never got across. though. II was
captured by big alligator and
lugge back to the river bank. When We
followed the dogs to the spot we found
that the alligator had whipped them Oft
and had the deer half devoured. We lost
the deer. but got the alligator.
-Once another man and myself pulled a
ten-foot alligator from a burrow in the
bank by running u long-handled boat hook
into the hole. which the alligator seized in
it's Jaws and held on to. This was the same
alligator that had come out of the bayou
the day before where an old darky named
Gabe Doan had fallen asleep while fishing,
and bitten the old chaps leg OF at the
knee.
1T would no doubt have had the rest OF
old Gabe. too, II two other fishermen hadn't
heard his yells and fastened to the spot.
When they approached. the alligator slid
into the water, taking Gabe's leg along
with II. The men carried the darby home
and he got we'll, and ] saw him stamping
around on the wooden leg that took the
place Of the one the alligator bit Oh.
