which was enacted by the last legisla-
ture the entire fee goes to the State.

ney general. 1t was the popular i'm
preston that a portion of the fee also

the case. and that the money received
in this way was turned over to the
State treasurer.

Have you Washingtonians ever visited one
of the several horse bazaars in the city
the places where benevolent-looking and
persuasive-speaking gentlemen give away"
horses and mules of all sorts and descrip-
tons? At any rate, they declare they give
away the animals, and one certainly would
not doubt that such good, kind-looking gen.
tlemen would say anything that would be
misleading or even in the least particular
at variance with the facts. If you haven't
visited these interesting places call around
some day and get present.
You will not be intruding or unwelcome
even though you do not desire to bid on
any of the horses, but instead just want to
stand around and observe the crowd and
listen to the smoothly modulated tones and
musical dronng of the auctioneer; the PEN
etrating, strdent cries of the clerk; the
commanding Hi Hi! therei" of the proud
and self-important colored stableman who
bestrideS the animals and puts them
through their PAGES in front of the lines of
spectators
If you do not intend or wish to buy a
horse any more than you would wish to buy
a drove of mountain goats or herd of
white elephants, that makes no difference;
come any way. You will be in the same at
titude of mind more than ninety-flve per
cent of the men who go to the bazaar. Prob
ably a hundred men are punched in the
vicinity of the auctioneer's stand, but not
more than five out of the hundred expect

noticeable that the clerk uses the more IA

the game is getting warm, and the auction

AS soon the next animal is brought be-
fore the stand and he is put through his
PAGES, the performance just described is
gone over again, and on until all the
horses and mules are sold.
Among the animals offered for sale at a
recent auction was an emaciated, scrawny-
looking mule which from its appearance
might have been used in hauling stone for
the pyramids. On the mules hind legs
were several scars and scratches, some OF
which had probably been made within the
memory of the present generation. and the
others apparently marks of SPAWN, which
the mule had suffered in ancient times.
The stableman leaped on the animals
back, which described hyperbola, and sue
ceeded in urging him to a limpng trot.
Two swift journeys up and down the
length of the barn, and the mule was Civ
