THIRTY FEET TALL.
Horses ROamed In Wyoming In Old
en- Days Now Fossilized.


en- Days Now Fossflized.
Out in Wyoming lot of scientific
grubbers have unearthed the fossil re-
more than thirty feet high. The grub
bers seem to have pieced the horse to-
gether without any comment, and they
don't offer a word of information con-
corning either his genealogy or his
track record
A horse thirty feet long would ap-
pear to be lot of horse. If he belong
ed TO the cave man the latter certain
~ had his hands full. A horse so tall
that thirty foot ladder became nee
essary when his bride was to be put
on might we'll be called the pride Of
the stable, although no ordinary stable
would begin to accommodate him.
II the cave man hadn't any ladder
and couldn't borrow one the next best
thing was to climb tree. Then try to
imagine him shining up tah palm
with the heavy bride on his back. only
to find when he attained the right alti-
tude that the horse had moved beyond
reach and was peacefully browsing on
the tall grass Of the jungle!
OF course thirty foot horse could be
expected to cover much more ground
than the ordinary animal OF the same
breed, even at walk. And IL he took
1t into his head to work his way across
lots there would appear to be nothing
to impede him. Fences would go down
before him like stubble, and merely
playful cavort would carry him over
raging torrents.
When thirty foot horse shied at
bit of white paper in the roadway the
chances are that he jumped clear over
into the next county.
As war horse the thirty footer
must have been a startler. When he
let out neigh the enemy fed in blind
and unreasoning terror. When he
champed his bit and paved the ground
the very hills shuddered. When he
switched his tail the hireling foe fell
about him like ripened grain.
And then think of the nightmare that
could be expected to follow the first
sight Of this prodigious equine. He
certainly was a wonder. 1t is a great
pity we know so little about him.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD CITIZENS
The Novel Dietetic Theory n Bishop
Samuel FaIlows.

Samuel FaIlows.
Strikingly novel Is the new dietetic
theory announced by Bishop Samuel
Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal
church. According to the good bishop,
vice or virtue depends largely upon the
feeding of children. Feed your child
on pies, pickles, cakes. doughnuts,
cream puffs and cheap candles and he
will grow up to crack safes, hold up
nocturnal pedestrians or disgrace him
self by strong drink. Feed him on fat
meat, brown bread, apples and good
butter and he will become a shining
light in the community and get his
monument in the public park. II am
certain" says the bishop, that the
food given to the child determines more
than anything else the future man.
Virtue can be fed into a growing child
and by the same reasoning vice can be
fed into children by their stomachs."
Bishop Fallows is one Of the best
loved divines In Chicago. He has been

The CATERPILLAR.

The female of one species of cater
pillar tears off the fur from the ex-
tremity of her abdomen to make a soft
bed for her eggs and to preserve them
from the cold. Yet she never sees her
young, for after she has accomplished
the task of laying the eggs the cater
pillar invariably dies.

THE REPUBLICANS CARRY
MAINE.
But 1t Was Not a Walk Over
and the Plurality Of Gov
ernor Cobb is he Small
est Since 1884.

Governor William 7. Cobb, was
reelected by the smallest Repub.
lican plurality received by any
/ Governor in the State since 1881.
With 80 towns and plantations
missing out of 520. unofficial re-
turns show plurality of 1866, the
vote being: Cobb, Republican.
1,54S; Davis. Democrat, 60, 50.
Cobb lost his own city, Rockland,
by II votes. Most of the missing
returns are from localities accessi-
Bile only by canoe or stage, and
some Of them are not expected for
three or four DAYS. If they give
Cobb their usual Republican vote
it will bring his plurality to about
5000. The usual Republican plu
rality is about % 600.
In the Second Congressional
district, where Representative
Littletield barely managed to de
feat Daniel j. McGillicuddy. who
was backed by organized labor
under the leadership of President
Samuel Gompers, the Republican
plurality was over 1000 behind
the figures of four years ago.
There are still nine towns from
which to hear out of 1913, and the
figures so far give Littletield Is,
$50 votes to McGillicuddy's H.
pol. The latter carried he city
# Lewistown by 1890.
The Republicans elected all four
Congressman and Will control the
Legislature, but in nearly all ofthe
l6 counties the Democrats elected
at least portion of the local
tickets and in some they made a
clear sweep. 1t is believed that
many recounts may be necessary
on account OF the closeneSs of the
vote.
a Washington dispatch says:
Blame for Democratic defeat in
Maine is now being placed on
William Jennings Bryan by many
Ct his former followers here. A
telegram received from the chair
man of the State Democratic
Committee of Maine declared that
the Democrats would have carried
the Governorship by majority of
20, 600 and would have defeated
Representative Littlefeld by a
large majority had it not been for

his conviction that Government

have to be resorted to eventually.
