BREAkING COLTS TO HALTER

From the very day of his advent
into the world thoroughbred colt is
man-handled, says the Metropolitan
Magazine. At first he will be inclined
out Of sheer desert instinct to slip
around on the other side of his mother
when the man draws too near, but he
gets over that and quickly. The man
coaxes and pets him into a quiet and
teaches him to trust the two-legged
animal. Once that trust is obtained
1t is never abused. Thoroughbreds,
until they get into races, are never
whipped, are never even spoken to
harshly. Theirs is a life of gentle
handling and soft words.
Except that he is made used to the
hands of mankind, nothing is done for
him save to watch the health of his
dam and keep him out of mischief
until he is ready to wean. Then
light halter without a strap is put on
him. By this time he has grown so

THINK. CRABS CAUSED QUAKE

Very curious were some of the ex-
plantations given by Cinnamon of the
recent earthquakes which have been
felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao.
The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: The famous dragon whose
privilege it has been TO give an oc-
casional shock to the earth's crust is
not held responsible for the recent
scare in Macao and elsewhere. Some
Chinese attribute the last shocks to
the water-dragon of Canton. whose
anger has been raised by the reclama-
ton works. Coolies are dumping daily
boatloads of sand and stone on the
poor dragons back, and the beast nat
urally feels hurt.
1T appears, however, that the real
causes of the earthquakes were the
Macao crabs! Here is the story:
Close by the hot springs in the neigh
borhood of Macao stands small vii

has the misfortune to be the mother

occupation is fishing. A few days
previous to the first earthquake shock
experienced in Macao the young man
returned home with a couple of crabs
and few small fish.
Nothing extraordinary was noticed
at first, but when the crabs had been
boiled one of them presented a pc
culiar appearance, as on the red back
ground Of it's shell stood in gold relief
a design in white which resembled a
Chinese character. Neighbors were
called and the wise man of the village
soon explained that it was the king
of the crabs that had found it's way
into the old woman's kettle.
"Thereupon the village prophet pre-
dicted that some great calamity would
visit the unfortunate village. Mean
while the crabs of Macao and the
neighborhood, having learned the fate
of their king, assembled in great num-
bers, filling up every available hole,
and started to shake the earth. Thus
was their displeasure at the death Of
the king crab clearly shown!"

glasses full of the mixture.
The boys both tasted the beverage,
and it did not taste good. Each had
numbered big gun and, playfully
toying with the weapons, they suggest.
ed that the bartender drink his own
mixture. 1t required some persuasion,
but finally, to avoid trouble, he swal-
lowed the contents of both glasses.
Now, make your will, you would-be
poisoner,' shouted the punchers and
solemnly they put their guns back
where they belonged, treated the
house to the cigars and fadded away
into the distance, their horses hitting
only the high spots as they disappear
ed up the valley.
And | tell you, the impromptu bar
tender had good occasion to make his
will. For three of four hours he was
the sickest man l ever saw, and it
took the services of a doctor, who
worked over him for an hour or two, to
bring him back to life again. Ana

There is a popular belief in the ex-
IRENE northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by musher, and
not by any scientific polar expedition.
This belief is based on the conviction
that gold stampede will eventually
be started toward north latitude 80
degrees, and that mushers will rush in
where arctic explorers have feared to
tread. So completely unknown to
fame is this newcomer in the race for
the pole that to the majority of people
the name suggests nothing but cereal
