paddock she was fidgety and nervous.
In order to sooth her Captain Hayes
stroked her gently with a long rod.
She stood quite still during this pro
ceeding, seeming not to resent it in
the least. But when a man approach
ed her with halter she plunged and
reared, raced madly round and round
the paddock. Presently she quoted
down and the trainer got near enough
to slip a moose around her right leg.
She tried to kick it loose but in doing
so got her left leg entangled in it. She
was thrown forward on her front legs
in a kneeling position, and then with
gentle push sent rolling on her side.
Her four legs were then. bound with
ropes until she was utterly helpless.
For an hour she was left in this plight,
then the ropes were removed from her
feet and she got up a meek and s'ln-
missive creature
She stood still while a bit was
placed in her mouth and saddle
strapped to her back. Captain Hayes
climbed into the saddle and Jennie
consented to be ridden. She makes an
excellent saddle horse, intelligent, fast
and thoroughly to be relied upon.

THE TERRORS OF CHILDHOOD.

The age of childhood is proverblally inter-

its dark passages. It's hopes and fears, and its
hours of despair The emotionalism of the child
exposes him to tragic visitations. The incoher-
ence OF a mind In which realism and romance
are ever at war Is the source at once of all his
pains and all his pleasures. The likeness to the
savage lies in this. The primitive man lifts I'm

The Vested Rights of Commuters.

Patrons of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad which is the main means
of transportation between New York ana
the long string of suburban towns ana
cities along the north shore of Long Island
have lately been greatly disturbed because
the roads managers have been engaging
in q retrenchment through the reduction or
the service. The number of trains has been
materially reduced and now the commuters
have carried their case before the state
board of railroad commissioners and asked
for an order to compel the road to restore
the service to its former basis. At hear
Ing of the petitioners the railroads attor-
ney urged that the reduction of the service
was forced by the falling off of the traffic.
Thereupon one of the commissioners de-
clared:
you can't expect to take off trains that
people have been used to taking for some
time just because they cease to be profit
able to you. You can't shift time tables to
suit your profits and at the same time cause
thousands of people great inconvenience by
doing.
This is an interesting proposition which
will be indorsed by the patron of every
long-distance suburban line of transport,
whether operated by steam or by electric
ity. If established 1t means that the man.
ayers of such lines bound to maintain
schedules on the basis on which cOnfmuta-
ton tickets are sold Thus, If the railroad
maintains a series of trains at such hours
that a business man can get comfortably
and economically to and from his estab-
lishment within reasonable hours and buys
a commuters book from the railroad. the
corporation is in effect obligated by a
contract to continue to furnish him with
such service 1t cannot, under this view of
it's obligations. without some measure of
compensation. reduce the service or change
the schedule in a way to affect his facility
of transit to and fro.
This obligation is all the more binding il
the patrons of the line have bought homes
In the suburban regions traversed by such
lines. They have done SO on the strength
of the promise held out by the railroad that
it will undertake to carry them comfortably
and at convenient seasons. They have by
virtue of their purchases, acquired vested
interests which cannot be ignored by the
railroad company in the manipulation of it's
schedules. 1t may be urged that a house
holder takes his own risk when he thus
moves into the country, but, on the other
hand. it is true that the railroad, by it's
presence and its offering of service, is con-
tinually bidding for such shifts of residence
from city to country, and assumes d re-
sponSibiity for every one who makes the
change and thus becomes, virtually at it's
invitation, a patron of the line.
