STUMBLING HORSES.
Why They Acquire the Habit and How
to Cure Them.

Some horses are naturally addicted
TO stumbling. others acquire the fault,
and still others have the stumbling
habit thrust upon them, says an ex-
change. In the first, it Is almost in
durable, but the second and third
causes can be remedied by the rider or
driver. If the ground is rough or I'M
even, horses with a low action are
prone to stumble. Other horses which
are naturally slip-shod, generally STUN
BILE because they do not lift their feet
high enough from the ground. Lazi-
ness Is another cause for stumbling,
and horses that are heavy in front, or
whose fore legs are weak or unsound,
have the same fault. Very often care
%lessness on the part Of the driver
causes horses to stumble. This makes
1t necessary always to bear in mind
the value Of keeping the horses well
in hand and sufficiently collected. II
the habit is due to la~ziness 1t can
often be cured by riding or driving the
horse over rough ground until he has
been broken of the fault. But in all

pr rider. The most sure-footed of
horses is bound to stumble at times,
but this can be reduced to a minimum
by keeping a tight rein. A slack rein
Is often the sole cause for stumbling.
II fatigue is the cause. extra care
must be taken to keep the horse we'll
up to the bit. No good horseman will
ever take chances Of his horse STUN
bling by allowing a slack rein. Stun
bling is not only an annoying habit,
but 1t often results in serious injury
and many times in the total disability
of the animal. While an habitual ten.

NIT of a cure, the average case can be
prevented by the methods suggested
above.

FUTILE

A man who could measure the distance to

Who had studied the rings around Saturn
and traced all the streaks upon Mars.
Who could tell to a pound how much
Venus-the planet, you understand
weighed,
Having boarded up three hundred dollars.
decided to dazzle in trade. .
He stood by the side of the ticker, the
broker explained how it went.
And the scientist, being enlightened, in
vested his wad-every cent.
He bought on a margin and gladly went
home at the close of the day
With q dream in which rose a fair palace
and a beautiful yacht on the bay.
This man who could figure the distance
to the paleest of far-away stars,
Who could tell you the weight of dim
Neptune n had measured the
streaks upon Mars,
Went crazy in. trying to figure out how
he had lost every cent
In spite of the fact that the broker ex-
planned how the blamed ticker went.

ATTORNEY WROTE CHARGES
 OF REBATE FOR MOFFETT
Federal Grand Jury's Report to Judge Landis Says Standard Oil Pres
 ident Merely "Signed."

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The Federal grand tury which listened to the testimony of James A. Moffett, President of the Standard oil, relative to charges made by Mir. Moffett to the effect that the standard oH Company, which was re- gently convicted of receiving rebates on freight charges at Whiting, Ind, was not the only concern which had been guilty of this practice, today made its report to Judge Landis of the limited States District Court. The re- mort declares. From n careful and thorough investigation, 1t appeared that while the statement credited to Mir. Moffett was prepared largely by MT. Moritz Rosenthal, one of the attor- revs/ for the Standard oil Company, in the case of the United States vs. the standard Oil Company. 1t was given ont by MT. Moffett over his signature as his own statement"
 If further appeared that MT. Moffett had no knowledge whatever of any facts relating to shipments Of property from Whiting, Ind, Pullman, Heg- vIsch and South Chicago. in Illinois over the Chicago and Alton or any other road, by any shipper other than inc standard oil Company; that he had moi been at any one of these places during the last six years; and that the statement in question was based en- tirelv upon the testimony of F. s. Hollands, employe of the Chicago and Alton, given at the standard OH trial.

Business Exchanges Are
 Alarmed by Strike.
OVER 5000 STEvEDoRES OUT
From 10000 to l2,ooO Men Win
 Be involved.
Freight Handlers Refuse to Work With Non-Union sIen--screwmen Refuse to Load More Than
 Ieo Bales Daily.

New Orleans. Oct 1.-The immense cotton shipping business of this port was tied up at o'clock tonight by the strike of 5000 members of the Dock and Cotton Handlers Unions. The cotton loaders have arrayed against them all the business exchanges of New Orleans. which have declared that the commer- ciai life of the port depends upon tho outcome of this strike.
 Levee strikes have always been se- rfous. From 10000 to 12.000 men will pr0bHD1y b6 involved m this one. be- cause the railroad freight handlers have served notice that they will not work with non-union men at the docks. Prob ably over half of the strikers are ne- groes.
 The immediate cause of the strike was the refusal of i,z00 screwmen, whose work is to pack cotton Into ths holds of vessels. to load moro than 160 bales per day working in gangs of five. Steamship agents demanded that 900 bales be slowed and partly as a tesl of what can be done in loading cotton. they had. the crews of steamers load as many as 250 bales per day. As one result of the test the existence of ths Screwmen's Union has been made sn is- sue.
 Steamship agents claim that with the Improvement in methods of packing cot ton Into bales. the traue of the expert screwman has vanished and that the screwmen of today are unskilied labor CTS. Their pay is nearly twice that of other dock laborers. ranging from $b to Se per day, with $6 and $7 demanded.
 The present strike has been preparing for months and was precipitated a week ago when commercial interests of New Orieans assured the steamship agents they would stand by them. Ar- arrangements have been made to import about 2.500 strike breakers immediate ly. Crews of loading vessels will also be used as strike breakers.

 T want the Governor of the Terri tory that has become State and the Governor of the Territory that is about to become State to ride with me-, the President said.
 It was announced that the night had been pleasantly spent
 When the two onicials had landed safely on the Presidents boat they were told that the President desired a photograph of all the rough riders in the party, and they were soon lined up alongside of the Chief Executive of the National and Civil Service Com missioner McIlhenny in front of a pho tographer who proceeded to picture them as they appeared today. The dis covery was made early in the day that the expedition was far in advance of schedule time.
 The Mississippi practically shut of her steam, allowing the vessel to drift slowly down stream and all the other vessels of the squadron followed suit There was rain early in the morning but the clouds lifted somewhat later, and with bands playing, there was pre- sented gay scene. The fleet was met by number of gaily decorated ex- cursion boats few miles out from Memphis, and they added materially to Ina size and general appearance of the squadron as 1t came in on the home stretch.
