Vulgar Robbery.
rom the Springfield Republican


There will be renewed attempt on the
part OF artists and other people who do not
believe In the prohibition OF importing the
art of Europe or Asia-modern or ancient, it
matters MOTTO prevail with Congress to
abolish the duty now imposed. 1t may be
predicted that the coming Congress will be
just as foolish and obstinate as others have
been. 1t may be properly observed that In
this instance, If in no other, the reigning
party has accepted the principle of the op-
position long. long ago-"a tariff for reve-
nue. only" 1t is notorious that the customs
tax on art Is in no measure protective The
treasures of old art, the paintings Of the
great Italians. the sculptures of Greece,
.GrecoRoman, Roman ages, all these things
are not injuring our domestic product. And
the artists in color or form. and every one
acquainted with art and its interests, have
long emphatically opposed the hypocritical
pretense of protection. In these days when
rich men are buying objects Of art abroad

How to Make the Heart Strong.


The kind of exercise one should take for
his hearts sake is extremely important. AS
I have already said. exercise, to affect the
heart sufficiently, must be vigorous Ordi-
nary walking, while beautiful. falls short
of this requirement That calisthenics and
light exercises generally are deficient in
this respect Is proved by the fact tina VIII lie
all human kind naturally indulge in light
exercise, yet heart ailments are prevalent
among them. Every one that is not bed
ridden walks more or less, and I have read
learned articles which try to prove that
walking is the only exercise man requires
But if man never runs he could not, If he
would. run fairly fast even half mile. So
the argument is in effect that a man need
not be able to run. 1 cannot agree with
this conclusion, for walking at a moderate
pace affects heart action only slightly.
Running, of all exercises for the heart, is,
think, the best. OF course one who has a
weak heart cannot Immediately run either
fast or far; nor is it necessary for the aver
age individual to learn to run great dis
tances at high speed. But every one owes
it to his health to be able to run, without
distress, say half mile at fair pace.
Let him begin by jogging one-eighth or
one-quarter of a mile, then one-half MILE
which distance he ultimately may run rea-
sonably fast.

A Tramp's Bath.
From Army and Navy Life.

From Army ana navy Lie
A story is told about the first run which
the now famous Twentieth Century Linz
tied train made from New York to Chicago
The story goes that when the fireman low
cred the chute which scoops up water from
between the rails ana fills the reservoir in
the tender he failed to gauge correctly the
capacity Of the tank, and the water, over
flowing, ran through the full length of the
vestibuled train, so powerful was the force
which impelled it against the door of the
first coach.
The railroad company sought to remedy
this trouble. and on the next run a blind
coach, one without door opening next to
the engine, was used. This proved to be a
prevention of the flood trouble.
One night, after the Twentieth Century
had made a name for itself, tramp
climbed aboard the platform Of the first
coach as the train was leaving Cleveland.
He knew that the next stop was at Toledo.
more than 100 miles away, and saw an OPP
portunity to travel undisturbed on a linn
tied train but the fireman saw him as he
comfortably settled down for the trip.
When the train took water a few miles out
the tank overflowed quite profusely, and
again the deluge occurred just before en-
tering Toledo. and the engineer tells that
while he was spending q moment with his
engine in the depot in Toledo the most
washed-out specimen of humanity he had
ever seen came UP to him and said: Say.
mister, what was the names of them two
rivers we went through"

Pensioning Horses.
From the Home Magazine.

One Of the most notable of the semi-pri-
vate humane establishments for the rescue
Of broken-down horses Is known as Red
Acre Farm a charitable home for horses
opened on May s. 1903, at Stow, Mass. The
farm is situated twentythree miles from
Boston, and consists of eighty-seven acres
of land divided up into pasture land and
paddocks, with portion of it devoted to
stables, Office and hospital. Red Acre
Farm was founded by young woman,
Miss H. C. Bird, who gave UP to the use of
the horse the home and grounds which she
inherited from her father, and who devotes
all her TIVE and strength to succoring the
horse. She daily oversees the conditions at
the home and has the advice and support
of well known humanitarians.
The farm is kept up by contributions and
the board of pensioners or horses put out
to pasture during the summer by owners
who want good care taken of them while
out of town. Members of Red Acre Farm
also pay small annual fee of So, and phi
'lanthropists can endow stall in the stables
of Red Acre Farm for 500. which the
