call for labor. and the larger the num-

GUNS IN THE WAR or 1912
Two Glasses of Naval Cannon-Americau
and BrlIlsh Preferencen


There were in those days two prin
cinal classes of naval cannon - long
guns. often simply called guns" and
carronades, says a writer on the War
OF 1872 in Scribner's. The guns had
long range. with light weight of shot
fired; the carronades had short range
and heavy shot. Now in long guns
the Americans Were -four times as
strong as the British. while in carron
AIDES the British were twice as strong
n the Americans. 1t follows that
the American commodore should prefer
long range to begin with, whereas the
British would be careful not to ap
proach within lorg range, unless with
such breeze as would carry him
rapidly down to where his carronades
would come into play.
There was another very decisive rea
son why such short range favored the
British against the Americans. The
schooners Of the latter not being built
for war, carried their guns on dpcb

Don't Stunt the Colt

1t is generally understood by far.
mers that in raising colts the best re.
suits can only be secured by keeping
the youngster growing all the time
and doing its best. A Mr.. G.. c. Good.
ale. of Maine, gives an instance that
came under his observation as proof
of the truth of this Il cory. He said:
"A few years ago while judging the
colts at the Kennebec fair, a gentle
man brought in year-old stallion.
He was in fine. healthy condition, of
fine conformation. finely gated and
scoring ninety odd points he easily
captured the blue ribbon over a large
field of colts. His breeding was fine.
His owner said to me: L am going to
keep this colt for stallion 1 told
him he would make fine stallion. as
he had the breeding, the gait. the fine
color and conformation. But l said:
If you want fine horse, keep this
colt growing and in good condition
until matured.' Six months later I
was going by his place and he called
me in to see his colt. L was surprised
to find the colt poor. He had not
grown q bit for six months. told
him he had spoiled his colt. He said
he had fine pasture to turn him into
and he would be all right. l said to
him: When this colt commences to
grow again he will grow out ef pro-
portion somewhere The result was
that he grew ewe-necked, his shoul-
ders grew upright and he grew sway
backed. This changed his gait so he
could not show speed. and his owner
gelded him at four years and So. lin

group of lady admirers with a pair of
golden handouts, in commemoration
of his arrest and Imprisonment in the
great cause of Natonallsm. The An
ti.Semite swore that he would wear
the manacles as souvenir bracelets for
the remainder of his life. For some
time he kept his promise, and then 1t
was observed that he had abandoned
his decorative fetters. Why? Was 1t
lntdellty to the cause, or what? Peo-
pie wondered. and could get no salts
factory answer. until few days ago
there was public sale of unredeemed
pledges from the Mont de Plete. The
golden handouts (weighing forty five
grammes) were included IN the cata-
logue. NJ. Regis having deposited them
with ma tante" to relieve tempo

to recover them. To complete the
irony of the situation, they were pur-
chased by Hebrew, who now wears
them in the streets Of Algiers and ex-
hlblts them to all his friends.
