The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck 'bestrode a
plank, like horseman on big steed."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that of driving, and the myth OF
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, "man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably orig
mated at an early period when the APP
pearance of man on horseback was
a novel sight.

A Snub For MoIiere.

A remarkable incident Is reported for
a suburban theater in Paris. The play
was "Tartuffe," and at the end of the
fourth act the manager Of the company
came In front of the curtain and said,
Ladies' and gentlemen, we shall not go
any further with this piece, for the fifth
act is unworthy of Moliere." How the
audience took this announcement Is not
stated. Perhaps they went home and
read the fifth act critically in the seclu-
sion of the library.

In Conclusion.

The great majority of the teachers of the county have
always given the institute loyal support We greatly
appreciate this and this year hope have every teacher
in the county and many who expecting to teach in
the future enroll aid attend every day. Do not think
because you teaching in the graded schools be-
you have attended number of institutes and hold
first grade certificate that you will get any benefit
from the institute and that it is necessary for you
attend The patrons of your school do not think that
way and they have right to expect you prepare for
your work. Audubon county ranks among the first in the
state in point of salaries paid teachers We keep
it there and you expect to do you neglect
any opportunity for improvement We will again have
the of the splendid High School building and
will have every facility for holding the best institute
held in the county Plan your work you be present
the first day and remain through the entire session If
you expect teach in this county it your duty do
this. Very truly YOURS

Instructors.

Prof. F. E. Palmer is considered of the best edu
Gators in Iowa He has had much experience institute
work and his work will be help and inspiration to
every teacher who attends. Prof F. ]. Manz who has
been elected Supt of the Audubon schools graduate
of the state university is thorough and enthusiastic in
strucor and believe you will be pleased with his work
Miss Lura Beason who will have charge of the Hand
work is experienced instructor and has recently gradu
ated from the Pratt Institute of Manual Training at
Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Beason is enthusiastic in this
work and we believe her work will be interesting and
helpful to every teacher in the county.
Pros. Repass and Minis and Miss Srearns all we'll
known to the teachers of the county and is
for to mention their work No better instructors
be found anywhere for the work which they will have and
feel that all who under their instruction
last year will be glad know that they will be with
again this year. We think have secured excellent
corps of instructors and hope excellent results from
their work.

The president is highly elated over

experienced and het would not miss it

which the people of this community
have heedei his adj lor tiOns in regard

This may be he cause of his return

In a conversation al the dinner table

Oklahoma became a state.
Every wolf captured is carefully
weighed. as the president will use
this data in writing an article on the
hunt. One of the chases which was
taken was for four miles at breakneck
speed before the wolf was at last

Austin. April l3.-The senate finally
passed. the general land bill, after
adopting nur. .erous amendments. The
bill now goes to conference.
Inc bill recommended by Land Com
missioner Terrell for the protection OF
the mineral lands of the state fna1lv
passed the senate 1t requires claim
ants 10 pay IS an acre annually upon
thelr claims until the purchase p1jce
mas been paid. Under the present law
they can prospect for five years with
out paying anything. A provision of
the Dill increasing the appropriation
for Confederate pensions provides that
tht pension bureau shall be transferred
TO the adjutant generals department
Friends Of the comptroller vigorously
oppose this provision but it was adort-
ed by the house.
A bill passed the house to prohibit
any person from going upon any in
closed land for tht purpose of hunt
ing Or fishing without the permission
OF the owner or lessee of such land
The present law makes such permis-
sion necessary only in case the tract
is less than 1000 acres.

REQUEST REFUSED.
House Would Not Adopt Bill Raising
AdvaIoram Tax Rates.


Austin, April Ex-Governor Lanham
Tuesday afternoon sent to the house Of
representatives message strongly
urging it to pass the bill increasing the
ad valorem tax rate. Immediately
thereafter a motion to take up and
consider the bill failed by vote OF
50 to SO, a tWo-thirds majority being
necessary to suspend the regular order.
Governors message was as follows:
Austin, Tex, April II. 19O5-To the
Legislature: | am advised that you
have determined to adjourn sine die on
the 18th in ant. / beg to urge upon
your thoughtful consideration the man
ifCst necessity of making provision fol
raising the necessary revenue for the
support Of the state government be-
fore adjournment. The bills you have
already passed relating to taxation will
not prove adequate to meet the neces-
stiles Of the situation.
What delays may attend their exc
ecution and exactly how much revenue
may be finally derived from their oper-
alton 1t is impossible to forecast In
my first message to you, after a most
careful study of our conditions 7 felt
constrained to urge an increase % the
ad valorem rate of taxes to meet the
emergency that is upon us.
Subsequent events have confirmed
the propriety Of that recommendation
and its correctness can not in the light
of what has occurred, be successful
coHtroverted. I renew with the utmost
emphasis the request, that before you
adjourn this recommendation be Oho
served and that the bill carrying the
same into effect be promptly passed
by the requisite majority % make il
Immediately operative. DO NOT, I re.
spectfully urge you, allow this matter
to be deferred for consideration az an
extraordinary session. Your commit.
tees on appropriations are entitled 20
have this legislation enacted that they
may intelligently act upon their bills
and govern themselves accordingly.
This proposition must originate IN the
house. 1t is believed that the senate
would promptly respond 70 the action
OF the house. as IL has done on other
bills raising revenue 3 earnestly tn
woke your serious and prompt attention
to this matter ,
