MUSCLE JUST IN TIME

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. r, March s.
City Judge Morschauser has joined
physical culture class, and he took his
first lesson this afternoon. Going home
an hour later the judge found his wife
and the servants in terror, While a
strange man, we'll dressed, but intoxi-
Gated, sat in the dining room demand
ing drinks. The judge told his wife to
telephone for the police, and tried to
quiet the stranger.
The man became abusive and started
to put the judge out. of the room. Then
the physical culture of the magistrate
was put to test, and the roysterer, al
though big fellow, was banged,
smashed and tossed around till he saw
a milky way of stars. Policemen came
and arrested him. At the station he
said to the judge:
"Pll get even with you in the morn
ing. I'll tell the judge what kind of
duck you are"

The characteristics Of the Arabian
horse are intelligence and gentleness
in disposition, and compactness and
beauty of proportion, with wonderful
grace and ease of action. He has great
endurance. and can bear flardships with
poor fare. He Is suited for a general
purpose horse for saddle or harness,
and is also a. heavy weight carrier He
natures at 5 years Of age, but should
be broken to light work as a yearling.
He should always be treated with kind
ness, as he quickly resents ilI-treat-
ment and harsh language, and. If
abused, will fight to a finish. He de-
velops best in a temperate climate, but
adapts himself to others.
There is no denying the fact that
the Arab blood is the foundation or
basis that has furnished the stamina
and endurance in all the types of
horses produced by centuries Of scien-
tific breeding. No country has ever
created fixed and reproducing types of
high-class horses for the coach, saddle,
road or draft uses, or speed at run,
trot or pace unless grounded upon the
blood of the Arabian and Barb horses"
is the observation made by Randolph
Huntington, who has spent twenty-five
years in exploiting the Arab blood in
America.
France, Germany, Austria, Russia,
Hungary and Belgium each keep gov
ernment studs Of either pure Arabs or
Barbs to sustain their created fixed
types of coach, saddle, road or draft
horses, and such created fixed types
are never crossed with other families,
each type being interbred in It's own
family.

The check was recovered. 1t is

No License Required of Them in
Paducah.
Judge Sanders So Decided in Lii
cense Case Tried This
Morning.
GASES IN THE POLICE COURT

Judge Sanders today in the police
court decided that manufacturers do
not have to pay license in Paducah.
There is state law which exempts
manufacturers from taxation for :
period of FIVE years as an inducement
to their location. but this is constructs
ed to mean probably only on real es-
tate and personal property.
The city of Paducah, however, in
its license ordinance has failed to re-
quire license Of manufacturers, and
when the case against Riglesberger g.
Co. today for failing to pay license
came up, Judge Sanders decided that
the firm was not liable for license,
as the evidence showed that the COM
pany only manufactured lumber.
1t was held that where firm buys
lumber and sells it, as some of them
do who have no mills, they are liable
for the license. Where they buy the
lumber and resell it, they are liable.
The evidence showed that Rigles-
berger manufactured it from the raw
material and the case was dismissed.
Gases against H. A. Rose, Rudy
and Phillips and ]. e. English, for
failing to pay license, were continued
until Monday.
Johnnie Fisher, a small negfo by
who stole . bicycle, was given 90
days in the lookup.
The case against John Lowe. COL
ored, for failing to have lights on mis-
hack, was dismissed, it being shown
that the lights had been repeatedly
blown ont by the wind, and there was
no intention to violate the law.
A breach Of the peace case against
Tom Jones was dismissed.
