In order to sooth her Captain Hayes
stroked her gently with a long rod.
She stood quite still during this pro-

the least. But when man approach

reared, raced madly round and round
the paddock. Presently she quieted
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 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 glib
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.

VICE-ADMIRAL MAkAROFF.
Death of the "Cossack OF tho Seas'' a
Great Loss to Russia.

The loss of the battleship Petro-
paylovsk is q trifing misfortune to
Russia in comparison with the loss OF
Vice Admiral Makaroff The Car has
none too many sea-fghters, and none
at all who are worthy to rank with the
"Cossack of the Seas" Until Makaroff
arrived at Port Arthur the Russian
naval operations We're characterized by
bungling and indecison. No sooner had
he taken command than the remnants
OF the fleet began an aggressive cam
paign that forced radical change in
the Japanese methods of operation.
Admiral Makaroff was appointed to
the command of the Russian Pacific
fleet on Feb. 26. He was one of the
heroes of the fighting on the River
Danube during the Russo Turkish war.

since many times been honored by
their government. were at that time

volunteered to make Il night attack On
powerful Turkish ironclad. With n
torpedo boat they succeeded in blow

first successful demonstration of the
usefulness of torpedo boats In naval
warfare
1t was Makaron who originated the
idea of constructing the famous ice
breaking steamer Ermak, which was
built on the Tyne from his designs.
1t is the largest ice-crushing steamer
in the world. and has made several
trips into the Arctic regions.
Admiral Makaroff paid three visits
10 the United States, the first in 1863.
He made a tour from California II
New York In 1896, and in March, 1898
made flying visit to Detroit with a
party Of Russians who were looking
into the possibilities of ice-crushjnp
steamers on the great lakes with the
