ness requires larger horses, for with It's
immense hood the ice wagon is a load in
itself and when filled with ice a heavy
team is needed to move II. Then, too,
these wagons are sent into the residence
districts of the city, where hills are
abundant and where a small horse could
not pull the load. These horses are used
on coal wagons In the winter and Ice
wagons in the summer time.
Metz Brothers, Storz and Krug each have
about fifty horses for the brewery work,
and each takes pride in the condition of
the teams. Louis Metz looks after the
horses for his firm, and has for several
years, and never allows horse out that Is
not In good condition. He has lighter
horses for the bottle beer wagon and these
are permitted to trot, but the driver is
discharged without word II he is caught
trotting one OF the heavy brewery teams.
On most of the routes from the breweries,
q driver is given two teams, one for the
forenoon and one for the afternoon. All
bottle beer wagons have two teams. The
breweries are always on the lookout for
good horses and Mr.. Jardlne is also in
structed to buy any good team he may
strike in his travels around the country
which he thinks would make a good brew
cry team. Metz Bros. tried out a large
automobile for delivery of bottle beer, but
1t was sent back to the factory last week
and horses will still be used
Sunderland has some fine horses on his
coal and cement wagons, and the Chicago
Lumber company and C. N. Dietz Lumber
company also pride themselves on their
fine teams.
The packing companies also have fine
line OF heavy horses. Some time ago the
packing companies agreed among them
selves to stop making deliveries in Omaha
and the horses were disposed Of The
agreement has been broken and the heavy
meat wagons are again seen on the streets.
Large horses are also used by Paxton
& Vierling and other heavy iron workers.
The Standard OIL company has some teams
which help out the splendid procession OF
good looking horses which is constantly
seen on the street.
The laundry owners are taking a step
In the right direction by buying better
horses each year. Many new wagons are
seen on the streets for the hauling OF
soiled linen which require heavy horses
and the class of these horses is improving
constantly MILK wagons are being con
structed larger than heretofore and better
horses are required on these wagons.

Fire HOs.s. Hard to Find.

1t is difficult to get good horses for the
fire department. The principal requisite for
a fire horse is good horse sense. He must
have with this strength. vim and nerve.
No gutter will do for a fire horse, for
they have to make some hard runs in this
town. The trucks ana engines are heavy
and many Of the runs are up hills which
tax a horse to his limit. A fire horse has
a heavy load TO move and he has to move

Just as America has taken the commercial
lead In many other articles Of manufacture
that no one dreamed Uncle Sam would
ever control, so gradually the superiority
OF American made teeth has forced all ma
tions to come 70 this country for their
dental supplies until today it is no exag-

lions of jaws in Europe and Asia and AZ
rica are masticating with the aid OF the
product OF United States tooth factories. To
Philadelphia belongs the honor of having
the largest place for the manufacture of
artificial teeth in the world. These teeth
have been sent to the ends OF the earth.
In other days every dentist made his teeth
in a little laboratory attached to his onice.
Now they are made In gigantic factories
where hundreds OF hands are employed.
The labor is OF the most skilled order. and
the fine hand OF woman is employed with
satisfaction In shaping and finishing the
cleaning dental supplies. In one OF the big
factories there is a capaeious fireproof room
In which are kept the moulds OF hundreds
Of different kinds OF teeth. Should there

Without stopping Sor statistics, which
have been so often collated, 1t is
enough to say that in the public life of
this country the lawyer has been the
conspicuous factor The Judiciary, Of
course, is altogether composed of mem
bers of the profession. In executive
offices and legislative halls the law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business and all other pro-
fessions. Yet the public life of this
country has been Of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of official labor, they have
proved true to their employment, and
1T may safely be said that the scan
dais which have sometimes been found
In official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory of general
personal integrity? 1t = no sufficient
explanation to say that although the
great mass of the profession is cor
rupt, there are few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life. The truth is
their very prominence in public life,
their fidelity TO the trusts therein Inn
posed, is evidence which cannot be ig-
nored that the profession has and
maintains a character for honesty and
uprightness which attracts general
