Tricky Arts to Make Old Ones Young
and Doctoring and "DopinR."
Probably in no business are 80 many
tricks and wiles practlced as in that
Of horse dealing. 1t Is safe to affirm
that thousands Of horses are sold
throughout the country every year I'M
der false conditions, and so skillful
have takers" become that 1t takes a
very clever and experienced man TO
detect the doctoring tricks of those who
are anxious to sell bad animal to the
best advantage.
Perhaps the commonest Of all taking
or bishoping, as 1t is often called-a
term derived from man named Bish-
op, who during the eighteenth century
obtained a great reputation for making
old horses appear younx-is in relation
to horses teeth. At full age a horse
has forty teeth, and not until the fifth
year are they all visible. Six months
later the "nippers" or front teeth be-
come marked by a natural cavity and

As the horse gets older, these marks
wear away, and it is then that the CO.
per or faker sets to work to make
fresh cavities as found In a horse Of
the age he wishes to represent The
surface Of the teeth Is cut out with a
steel tool and the black lining Of the
groove, which must be visible, burnt in
with nitrate of silver or some other
chemical In this way horses which
are often over 8 or 8 years Of age are
sold as 5-year odds.
The age Of horse Is often increa sed
as we'll as reduced by means of taking
the teeth. A 3-year-od will often be
transformed into a 5-year-old by means
Of chiseling out the side milk teeth
with which horses are furnished up to
their third year, when they are sup
planted by the permanent ones. The
extraction Of the former, of course,
brings on the latter much quicker than

Of things thus making horse appear
much older than 1t really Is.
There are various other things, how

away the age of horse and which
have to be faxed II the animal is to
fetch a fair price. In old horses there

The Child's First Grier.

"Oh, call my brother back to me!

The summer comes with flower and bee
Where is my brother gone?
The butterfly is gancing bright
Across the sunbeam's track;
l care not now to chase its flight
Oh, call my brother back.
THE flowers run wild-the flowers we
sow'd
Around our garden tree;
Our vine Is dropping with its load
Oh, call him back to me-"
He could not hear thy voice, fair child,
He may not come to thee;
The face that once like sprngtime smiled
On earth no more thou'lt see.
"A roses brief bright life Of JOY,
Such unto him was given;
Go-thou must play alone, my boy.
Thy brother is in heaven"
And has he left his birds and flowers.
And must l call in vain?
And, through the long, long summer
hours.
Will he not come again?
And by the brook. and in the glade,
Art all our wanderings Ger?
Oh. while my brother with me play'd.
Would had loved him more!"

mediately above the eyes. This disf1g-
urement is remedied by a process
known as putting the glims." A fine
pointed blOwpipe is introduced under
the skin above the eye, through which
the copper blows gently until the deep
hollow is filed and is replaced by a
perfectly smooth surface.
The taking Of broken winded horses
is an art in itself, so to speak. 1t is
generally accomplished by means Of
drugs, arsenic being chiefly used. The
copper" also pays strict attention to
such an animals diet previous to a
show. If during the trial horse Is a
little short-winded the owner will turn
furiously upon the groom for giving his
horse too much hay, when in all prob
ability it has had nothing to eat or
drink for hours.
The groom will thereupon explain
how the animal got loose and ate a
bushel Of oats and half truss Of hay
in the night and that he was afraid Of
losing his place II he said anything
about 1t. This explanation will, in nine
cases out Of ten, satisfy the intending
purchaser and remove any doubts
which he might have had.
A singular dodge Is resorted to by
the cooper" when he comes into pos

he desires to make some profit. The
method is called "beaning" and con-

Perhaps small pebble is inserted
between the shoe and the hoof Of the
latter foot. the pain Of which causes
the animal to limp with the right as
we'll as the left leg, one thus counter
balancing the other and making it ap-
pear as though 1t was the horses nat
ural gait In lieu Of a small pebble a
small iron wedge Is sometimes driven
underneath the foot corresponding with
the lame one, thus causing both legs to
go lame alike, which only gives the
horse different motion.
Doping" is a term usually applied
to the trick Of making horses appear
spirited and high steppers by means Of
drugs or chemicals. An animal Is Oft
ell made to pick up its legs in the
quick, nervous style Of thoroughbred
by having the back tendons Of the leg
rubbed with turpentine, cow-itch and
ammonia. which burns like fire and
makes the animal prance with pain.
Occasionally, says writer in the
Boston Herald, the cooper" is success

tempts to be put into harness. With
sharp razor the sides Of the horse

The same performance will be gone
through just below the withers, where

opium will be administered. 1t Is not
until the unlucky purchaser tries to
harness the horse to carriage that he
discovers the animals temper and its
unmanageable ways.

Women Not Artistic.

During the last hundred years in
France and England the education OF
women has been more artistic than
that of men. Far more emphasis is
put upon music and drawing in girls

800 cases, that % per cent males and

London, July 31-The house of COM
mons yesterday refused to permit Win
ston Spencer Churchill to introduce a
bill limiting the life Of parliament to
FIVE instead of seven years. Mr..
Churchill explained that the bill would
give fuller popular control Of the exec
utive. He said there was a growing
diminution Of parliamentary authority
over this government, and by this me-
chanioal arrangement that frequent
appeals to the country would be Of ma
tional advantage. The proposal was

Copenhagen, Aug AL classes of
the Danish nation view with composure
the visit of Emperor William to King
Christian today. The imperial guest
will remain a few days and will meet
with the leaders of Danish political
life. The emperor is not expected to
suggest any startling scheme for Ger
man.Danish action to close the Baltic
against the warships of non. Baltic
powers, or to do anything else. If
William really made any proposal of
this sort he would be certain to meet
with polite rebuff. The Danes feel
quite as comfortable with the warshipe
of nom Baltic nations about their
shores as they do with the fighting
fleets Of the two great Baltic powers in
Danish waters.

st. Paul, Aug. IA strike of the
operators of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways now seems
imminent. Late last night President
II. B. Perham, of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers, received telegraphic
advices from Willmar, Mimi, to the
effect that the Great Northern had be-
gun lockout on its lines.
Yesterday morning several Of the
officials of the company went west on
a special train, and it has since trans
pired, through sources in which Mr..
Perham has every confidence, that
these officials have instituted an in
QUESTION among the operators for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether they
are loyal to the general grievance COM
mittee, which had been representing
them at St. Paul for several weeks past
in conference with General Manager
Ward.
Wherever the men have declared
their allegiance to their representatives
in this city they have been summarily
dismissed from the service and the sta
tions at which they were employed
closed.
Several Men Let Out.
Several men have already been let
out by the officials, and President Per-
ham expects that if the policy is pur-
sued all Of the less important telegraph
offices all along the line will be closed.
The Great Northern has an extensive
telephone service along its lines, and

sofa and North Dakota are operated
wholly by means of the telephone.
President Perham said last night
that the move was strange one, mas
much as the officials of the road SEEM
ed to be anxious for an amicabl settle
ment. The conferences which he has
held with the companies have already
consumed several weeks, and in the
opinion Of many who have followed
the proceedings the company officials
Of the two roads have seemed to be
temporizing with the men. As soon
as President Perham heard of the lock-
out he Immediately wired Vice Presi-
dent Louis Hill to ascertain, if POSI-
BILE, from the highest authority of the
road just what is meant by the pro-
ceeding. If he does not receive sat.
isfactory answer he will issue a gener.
al strike order which will involve
about 1900 operators who are employ
cd on both systems.
Wages Alone In Question.
The strike will be for an increase in
wages solely. President Perham said
last night that the reinstatement of
the three men who were discharged by
the Northern Pacific some time ago
has been dropped. About year ago
the three men in question were dis.
charged for reasons which did not seem
sufficient in the opinion of the oper-
ators. Their reinstatement has been
one of the chief contentious Of the op-
orators in the present negotiations with
the company until last Thursday, when

There was a jolly miller,
Lived on the River Dee;
he danced and sang from morn to night;
No lark so blithe as he.
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
I care for nobody no, not /,
If nobody cares for met"
These lines, no doubt, suggested the
poem Of Charles Mackay, here given:
There dwelt a miller, hale and bold,
Beside the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till

No lark 50 blithe as he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
II envy nobody-no, not l.
And nobody envies me-"
''Thou'rt wrong, my friend" said good
King Hal;
LAS wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I'd gladly change with thee.
And tell me now, what makes thee sing,
With voice so loud and free,
While l am sad, though I'm a king,
Beside the River Deer"
The miller smiled and DOTTED his cap;
II earn my bread" Quoth he;
II love my wife, l love my friend.
l love my children three;

That turns tho mill that grinds the corn
That feeds my babes and me-"
Good friend" said Hal, and sighed the
while,
Farewell, and happy be.
But say no more, If thou'dst be true,
That no one envies thee.
Thy mealy cap Is worth my crown;
Thy MILL my Kingdoms fee;
Such men as thou are England's boast,
