G. w Shipley of Pasadena. Cal.
who owns one of the largest Shetland
pony breeding farms in the world, To-
Gated at Santa Barbara, Cal, is in the
city buying Umatilla Indians pony
mares, for the purpose of crossing
them with his Shetland stations.
This is an experiment that will be
watched with much interest by horse
men. and Mr.. Shipley is himself very
deeply interested i'm the outcome. He
is buying the very smallest mares he
can find, from one to two and three
years of age, and expects to get a
pony of moderate size. of docile ma
ture and especially adapted to his
Shetland livery and also for his ex-
tensive sales in San Francisco, Pasa-
denadena, Los Angeles and other
fashionable California cities, where
the small pony for riding and driv-
ing purposes is the fad
Mr.. Shipley owns several of the
best known Shetland stations in. the
United States. and will make spe-
cialty of breeding for odd-colored and
attractive ponies, that will be in de-
mand I'm California cities.
For the past IS years Mr.. Shipley
has conducted a livery i'm Pasadena,
the most fashionable city in the Unit
ed States. In his livery he has han
died Angora goats. Newfoundland
dogs burros. Jeannettes, Shetland,
Welsh and EXmore ponies, and has
catered especially to the rich tourists
who spend the winter season in that
beautiful city.
His livery outfit contained baby
buggies, to which were hitched dogs,
goats and ponies, small basket bug
giles for old ladies, and all classes of
vehicles for women and children.
one unique animal owned by Mr..
Shipley was a Shetland mule, or a
cross between "A Jack and a Shetland
mare, one of the most attractive little
animals ever known, but too high
strung and vicious for children to
handle and therefore unfit for his
business, except as an oddity.
Mr.. Shipley expects to secure fine
results from the cross of the Una
| tilla ponies and his Shetlands, and will
ship several carloads from this city,
the first shipment to be sent out next
Monday morning.
| The ponies will be tanned as soon
as they arrive at the ranch at Santa
| Barbara. and until old enough for
breeding purposes will be used in the
| livery business He will also buy
horses, as well as mares, expecting
/ to use them as saddle ponies, and as
/ tandems, for the fashionable rigs and
turnouts used in his business.
/ He finds the Umatilla ponies espe-
cially docile and easily broken and
believes that he will be able to pro-
| duce an excellent grade of small
pony, of good disposition, and weigh
ing from 400 to 600 pounds. 1t is his
ambition to produce something out
of the ordinary in the horse line, and
he will make various experiments in
the next few years, on his extensive
farm.

NEW STRING OF THEATERs.
Bclasco. Driven Out Into the Cold by
the Trust, May Retaliate.

a string of theaters from Los An
geles to Seattle and which may in
clude Pendleton and Walla Walla, is
the plan of David Belasco, leading
theatrical man of San Francisco. who
has announced his determination to
fight the so-called theatrical trust
through the Sherman antitrust law.
Belasco is the manager of Blanche
Bates, and has been compelled to
fight the trust in order to get his at
fractions before the public properly
and i'm several instances has been
compelled to show in inferior play
houses
This has had the effect of rousing
the fighting spirit of Belasco and he
has interested enough capital to make
it possible to fight the trust. Belas-
cos scheme is to establish independ-
ent play houses in every city of prom
inence on the coast. If this scheme
works out, agents will soon be in
Pendleton and Walla Walla to nego-
tiate for a theater building.

SUPERB FARMING PROSPECTS.
Western Oregon is in the Pink of
Condition.

Condition.
business man who has Just re-
turned from a trip through Western
oregon, as far south as Ashland, says
the outlook for a splendid crop year
was never as good as it is now. This
prospect extends to grain, of which
there is an unusually large acreage
sown to fruits, hops, and all the pro-
ducts of the soil. 1t extends to live
stock in which field of agricultural
wealth there has been great advance
ment in the past few years, in the
matter of both number and quality.
out in Southern oregon the season
is even, further advanced, proportion
ately, than in the Willamette valley,
and the fruit men are little nervous
lest the swelling the buds may come
into blossom so early as to be i'm dan
ger of the frost or the cold rains dur
ing the period of pollenizing. But
there is so little snow in the noun
tains to chill the winds, that even
this fear is probably greater in the
anticipation than it will be in the
realization. Anyway, there is no use
to cross the bridge of danger until
the bridge is at hand-and the
chances are several to one that there
will be no such bridge at all to cross.
If all the promises of good things for
the farmers are realized, and with
fair prices for the products of the soil
this will be a year of prosperity to
look back upon with satisfaction

Hard to PJeaae.

''The only perfectly beautiful wo-
man." said a well known sculptor,
must have been a goddess. 1 never
saw perfectly beautiful woman in
my life, nor even heard of the exist
snce of one. As for Cleopatra, learned
Englishman has discovered in some an
cient gossip written on papyrus that
she had the foxy red hair and the
freckled skin of all the Ptolemy family
and was obliged to resort to hair dyes
and cosmetics to keep up her reputa-
ton for looks. But perhaps the sever
est shock to the feelings is to learn that
Mary, queen of Scots, actually squint-
ed, and that Nine. Du Barry wore a
set of false teeth"

FLORIDA'S EXTENT.
The Everglade State Is Larger Than
Most Folks IMAGINE

But few people have any conception
OF Florida's extent Jacksonville is
about as far north of Miami as she is
south of Charlotte, n c.; about as far
north of Key West as she is south of
Danvllle, Va. Ignorance of the extent
of Florida leads to many amusing mis-
takes. We sometimes hear the rail-
roads of the state charged with max
ing poor time. Why, it takes over
twenty-four hours to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami. The man who makes
this remark would think he was travel
Ing on a flier if he made the trip from
Pensacola to Chicago in the same
length of time it would take him to go
to Miami. But there is very little diff
ference in the distance A land trip
from one end of Florida to the other is
as long as from the lakes to the gulf.
A citizen of Maine who makes up his
mind to come south may get on the
cars and pass through Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut. New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, the Dis
trict of Columbia and far into Virginia.
When he has done this he has taken
no longer ride than he could have TAX
en- by an equally direct line from one
Florida town to another, and there are
some men green enough to think they
are making poor time when they find
1t takes them longer to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami than from the eastern
to the western side of Maine OF
course the old stagers do not make
these amusing mistakes. They have a
pretty clear conception of the geogra-
ply of Florida There are many, how
ever, who come on their first visit with
very hazy ideas of the state.-Florida

The Shrewmouse

The smallest mammal in the British
Isle is the shrewmouse. This is not
only the smallest British mammal. but.
with the exception of one other of the
same genus, the smallest in Europe.
The harvest mouse is sometimes
thought to be even smaller but the
length Of its head and body is often
two and one-half inches, while that
of the lesser shrew is rarely more than
two inches. The tail measures about
one and one-third inches; and its teeth
are so extremely small that a lens is
required to detect them.

CHATEAuBRIAND IN LONDON
A Picture of the. English Capital of
n Century Ago.

A Picture of the English Capital of
Century Ago.
"All the English are mad by nature
or by fashion," Chateaubriand writes
nonchalantly in the book of his en-
bassy in London QS2D, but he had a
very gay time with the same lunatics.
We hear of dinners, Almack's and le
beau monde. "The day was thus dis
tributed in London: At 6 o'clock in the
morning one fastened to a party of
pleasure, consisting of a breakfast in
the country; one returned to lunch in
London; ore changed ones dress to
walk in Bond street or Hyde park; one
dressed again to dine at 7:30; one
dressed again for the opera; at mid
evening party or rout. What life of
entertainments! 1 should a hundred
times have preferred the galleys." One
smiles and reads on. He found London
full of recollections of Bonaparte. 1.-The
people had passed from the vilifcation
of Nick to stupid enthusiasm. His
colossal bust by Canova decorated the
Duke of Wellington's staircase"
At an evening party at Lord London
derry's, the English premier, 81 was
presented by his majesty to a severe
looking lady seventy-three years old.
She was dressed in Grape, wore a black
veil like diadem on her white hair
and resembled queen who had abdi-
Gated her throne. She greeted me in Il
solemn voice with three mangled SEN
tences from the Genie du Christian
isme;' then she said to me, with no less
solemnity, 4 am Mrs. Siddons. If she
had said to me, I am Lady Macbeth l
should have believed her."-John J.

Tar and Feather. In 11se.

In England the penalty of tar and
feathers was introduced in 1889, when
Richard l., before setting out for the
Holy Land, ordained, in order to pre-
serve the discipline of his fleet, that
whosoever should be convicted of theft
should first have his head shaved; that
boiling pitch should then be poured
upon 1t, and cushion of feathers (de
la plume d'oreiller) shaken over 1t. He
was afterward to be put on shore. at
the first place the ship touched at,
though, after baptism of boiling
pitch, the poor wretch would have lit
tie life left in him. In modern times
the practice has found favor with the
populace as means Of readily exc
cutting justice on an offender whom
the law perhaps shows no anxiety to
reach.-London Mail.

Charity of Former Kings.

Henry H. sought peace for his soul
after the murder of Beckett by feeding
and sustaining 10000 people daily, a
proceeding that must have made many
a man rejoice in the fall of the proud
prelate" Quaintest of all, though, was
the charity of Henry Ill. who com
manded that ''in the great hall at Win
sore, at a good fire, all the poor and
needy children that could be found
were to be fed, according to the weight
and measure of the kings children a
queer variant of the more modern sys-
tenn of distributing the Maundy money.
It is to be feared that nowadays, says
the London Chronicle, the amount of
food equivalent to "the weight and
measure of the kings children" would
not go far IN relieving call the poor and
needy children that could be found"
