BRYAN ROUSING INDIANA.

Mr.. Bryan's speeches In Indiana
have evidently been a great dlsappoint-
ment 10 the Republican He
has struck out straight from the shout.
der in favor Of a complete Democratic
victory in the HOOsier State and every.
where else. His remarks have been in
good taste and they bear every eyi.
dence of u~nrestrained sincerity. To
say that he has drawn great crowds
wherever he has appeared is super
luous, but it is not out of place to
mention the fact that no other speaker
on either side has had audiences one
half as large as his, and that no other
audiences have been as interested and
enthusiastic.
Mr.. Bryan has made it plain TO his
hearers that while he did not get all
he wanted at st. Louis, be got most of
it. He got tariff and trust planks that
suit him. and he got equally good
planks on Philippine independence and
imperialism. He comedies that the
money question is no longer an issue.

traordinary production Of gold. As be-
tween Judge Parker and Theodore
Roosevelt, he thinks there should be
no hesitation on the part Of any Dem
ocrat. He urged all of his friends to
support the Democratic National tick
ct loyalty. as he himself would do. 1t
is doubtful il there is another state
in the Union which contains as many
devoted admirers Of Mr.. Bryan as In
diana, and his speeches IL that State
ought 10 be worth a great many votes
to the Democratic tickets, State and

Animals Are Interestlna.

Spring is the most important thing that has happened in New York recently. That's why I'm writing a few words anent It like a spring poet in disguise The caged animals In Central park al- ways intensely interesting, become more markedly attractive as the season ad- vances. May-time is playtime as we'll as 1ove-time. Even the bass of the lion takes on melower, more mellferous, tone. To use dear Shakespeare's phrase 3eicitous, he now tries 'to roar you as gently as sucking dove" But the un- prlsoned animals delight me most The friendly gray squirrels, as they come prospecting about any Visitor who stands at gaze moment, preach a cunning ser mon of brotherhood; suggest. mayhap to some faded minds that by being more playful one might become more helpful to others, and so retroactively, to one's self But my friends, who visit New York, mustn't be tempted into very close familiarity with my favorite gray squir- rels-of squirls, as the charming south ern girl of my acquaintance pronounces

Finds" among horses are not infre- quent things, and often the result in the making of good-even great-racers, both barness and running, but it is more often the horse that is bred and raised to be a racer that is found on the tracks under the careful supervision of a trainer who has devoted his life to this kind of work.
 Little can be learned about the methods of getting speed out of a horse by a sin gle days trip to the track, but still enough can be seen to reveal general idea of the training a race horse under goes before he is allowed to face the starter.
 There are hut two kinds ol horses on the track-the harness horse and runner. The former is considered the horse for the higher class of sport-or sport of the gen. tleman, but the greatest horses in the world. and the most valuable, are har- ness horses either trotters or pacers.

Flreman's Heroic Feat.

The heroism of soldiers fires the imagi- nation of the feminine as well as the strenuous nature, an instinct inherited and intensified through ages of blind strife in the evolution of humanity. But the heroism of firemen has always appeal ed to me more than that of those whose business tis to destroy life and property. New York Is ringing still with the praise of a mighty fire-fighter, Captain Billy Clark. who certainly deserves one of the first, largest and solidest of those gold medals Andrew Carnegie is going to dis tribute among the heroes and herones of peace The feat Clark performed sounds like one of those we used to read in TO- mances before Mir. Howells persuaded us that novels which contained any event more thrilling than a theft by the butler of some old family silver were untrue to nature and lacked realism. An honest butler, one Hyndman, temporarily an in mate of the Manhattan Eye and Ear hos pital becoming delirious with pain, arm ed himself with heavy water pitcher and climbed out of window onto foot wide coping some seventy feet above the street.

All great harness horses are possessed oi quiet dispositions, and are easily controii- ed on or off the track, frequently Woro being sufficient to urge them to theii greatest efforts.
 From day to day the trainer gradually increases the speed and lengtn oi .ne young horses "try-outs" on the track. The early morning and late afternoon are the favorite times for exercising the horse. As time passes and horse ana trainer become better acquainted, the 1or- mer is gradually pushed to ms pest speeu and then it is DC ssible to determine aoou. the class the horse will be Tn when ne is at his best in future years.
 The care a horse receives IS something wonderful He is blanketed, bathed. pet ted ani watched, his slightest ailment IS doctored and even his legs are kept wrap ned to prevent injury in the stall of strain of the muscle on the track.
 When the driver or trainer learns the weaknesses of his horse he goes about remedvfng them If the stride Is too short he attempts to lengthen it, so that more ground can be covered. If too long, the trainer seeks to shorten 1t, for long stride will frequently mean a. break in I>the race If the feet are not evenly bal anced. weights are used, or the shoes are made of unequal weight and breechings and straps of varied and sundry kinds | are used.
 | As the horse grows older he Is expected to increase his speed each year, lowering his record from year to year by several seconds to the mile. The second year | on the track the horse shows marked decrease in the time for a mile and also marked ability to stay through several heats. The third. fourth and fifth years should show relative decreases in time.

 The essential things in keeping the horse in good condition is to always know just how much exercise to give, but at the same time never allow the horse to be nder-trained, or fatigued too much. Overwhelming and understanding has ruined the chances of many a good horse.
 It is only occasionally that fast horse is picked up. Some come from carriages, some are even driven as cap horses and occasionally one is found between the shafts of blow, but generally the best horses are those developed by years of training and careful painstaking.
