THE FRESHMAN
AND HIS HORSE.

The ample facilities for the dis posal of horses have n1ade the Dub lin horse show what it is. The Irish hunter, as you know, is king. The dealers in Brussels, Paris, Berlin and Vienna know the way to Ballsbridge as well as you know your way to your sideboard. As much as anything else, the facilities offered by the horse show are responsible for the creation of this market Tn the old days it was different can remem- Der well enough when, in order to pick up 8 few hunters or ponies, the dazed foreigner would have to travel from Chairmee. in County Cork, to Ballinasloe, in County Galway, from Limerick to Spaniel Hill; those were prosperous days for the Hungarian breeders, but twas hard on the Irish farmer and small dealer. Give the Royal Dublin, society its due. By bringing together seventy thousand people who love the horse, and buy and sell him, it has done we'll by Ire land.
 But the main interest of the Dub- lin horse show lies in the hunter. 1t is to see this splendid creature that we have come up from all parts of the world. And BaIlsbridge is cos mopolis. Here in the broad promen- ade, running east andN west, by the tea rooms, in the pleasant shade of trees. you will touch elbows with men from the world over. There are young hunting men, in the widest and whitest of Panamas, and the thinnest, blackest leggings. from all the shires or counties of the islands. Sandy's burr cuts across the soft speech of Devon. All the Irish brogues-from Cork to Cushenda1l, and from Killiney Hill to the Head lands of the Killeries-fall sweet upon the ear. Wonder bustles Chicago, and here comes the polite Gaul, know ing in horsefesh. Swarm. too, the ladies and the rosy, healthy girls. inn mune to wind and weather, in horsy coats and boots, or. winsomer, in frocks and feathers from Paris. They drink tea and gossip of things we know not of: of the lord lieutenant and vice-regal receptions. and other matters of importance. Suddenly there comes ripple of cheers out by the carriage drive. Royalty arrives; it is the kings brother. the Duke of Connaught: come. too. his excellency, the lord lieutenant in an open car rfage; n Duchess of Westminster, Duke of Iefnster, countess or two.

Speaking about the present method of armoring vessels, an exchange says that on land, as Is well known, earthworks and masonry works of great thickness were used. but 1t is not so well known that the sides of ships of war of one hundred years ago we're in many ways better pro- tected relatively than our present ironclads.

At present the 12-inch guns, using $50 or 1000 pound projec- tiles. are mounted in turret$ clothed with 12-inch armor. These turrets can be penetrated by 12-inch guns with anything but a very oblique inn pact at any distance at which gun is likely to hft. Similarly, too, the 6-inct1 guns of ships. or their Finch guns, which constitute the next step in the scale, are protected by 6-inch or Finch arnor. and this arnor can be penetrated by a 6-inch gun at as great ranges as it is Dkeiy to hit 1t.

 Raphael received his burns trying to get the horse out before he was dead. He failed. A verdict of suicide prob ably will be returned by the coroner's jury.

A Leaf-Making Experiment..

 A loaf-making experiment has been made at Blockley, Worcestershire. At S:30 one morning Messrs. Taylor s Sons, of the Sheaf House farm, Block ley, started to cut a field of wheat As fast as the sheaves were cut they were carried to the granary, and there thrashed and winnowed. These opera tions took six and one-half minutes, Then the wheat was taken to the mill of J. H. Painton, and there ground and dressed in five and one-half minutes. At the adjacent bakehouse the flour was made into dough and molded into cakes and loaves. Seven small loaves were taken from the oven at nine o'clock 30 minutes from the time the wheat was standing uncut. One was sent to the king

Will Be Amicably Settled.

ferred for several hours and WAYS
and means Of protecting the in
terests of both factions against
the claims of the Canadian rail
road company were discussed
formulated and a practical basis
of settlement almost concluded.
The Cathcarts will yield a
portion of their claims and the
stownsite people will also yield
considerable and in the end it is
very probable that both forces
will unite in the case against the
railroad which claims forty acres
of the disputed land under an old
land grant from the govern
ment for structural and depot
purposes.

PUT HIM OUT T.
Woodsman Goes to the Ropes in
Unusually Interesting Rough
and Tumble. at Hansen's.

A stalwart woodsman was put
down and out in one Of the fastest
rough and tumble events which
has recently occurred at Jens
Hansen's saloon, early this morn
ing. Henry Hopiis, the bar
tender, did the job, and an iron
cuspidor was the medium. The
bartender and the Woodsman be.
came involved in a dispute over
the payment Of drinks. The
woodsman stepped up to the bar
and laid his money down for a
long chance, when the wall
flowers promptly lined up and
the bar boy served all
hands around. The woodsman
did not feel it his duty to settle
the bill and a dispute followed in
which bothzzwere quite aggres=
sive. The woodsman started to
take the bartender into camp and
the latterstruck him avicious blow
over the head with a cuspidore.
He was unconscious for some
time and the blow was at first be-
lieved to be fatal. DR.. Morrison
was promptly summoned and by
prompt work succeeded in stop
ping the flow of blood from the
wound. He will suffer no seri-
Gus effects aside from an ugly
scar and is resting easily at pres
ent. Hopis paid his doctor bill
and was in police court on q
charge of assault, where he paid
his fine Of $25 and costs. Han
sons place is the Pioneer saloon
next to the Lumbermen's bank
and it has been notorious for
some time. The council is ex-
pected to take steps to revoke
his license at once as complaints
against the place have been too
frequent of late to warrant fur
ther show of leniency.

Shooting Was Accidental.

DR.. Henderson returned last
night from Baudette where he
went in his capacity as county
coroner to investigate the shoot
ing of Manly Thomas, an eleven
year old boy who was killed while
hunting two weeks ago today.
The DOCTORS visit to Baudette
was for the purpose of holding
an inquest which was demanded
by tie father of the boy. A
.coroner's jury was empaneled
and all the evidence in the case
was gone over. The jury's verdict
was that the boy had come to his
death through the accidental dis
charge Of a rifle in his own hands.
The lads father is not satisfied
with the result Of the inquest
and bases his claim to foul play
on the ground that the forehead
where the bullet took effect was
not powder marked.
