Simple Town.
From the New York Tribune.


Popular as large cities are becoming ac-
cording to census reports, some of their
most attractive advantages have never been
advertised. This seems to have been due to
widespread ignorance about the character
OF the simple life, a form OF existence
grossly misunderstood by the masses and
shamefully maligned by the pampered pur-
suers OF complex careers. 1t has remained
for lecturer addressing the League for
Political Education to dissipate. at one
blow. both the popular fallacies about the
simple life and the even more universal
Observation-Disclosures about life in a metropo-
lis. The simple life Is REDEEMED "the
undistracted following Of one main pur-
pose" and Is to he attained by cutting out
everything that does not make for such a
supreme end. Thus described. the simple
life can be lived more easily in New York
than amid the banal insipidities OF lesser
communities.
All this comes as a great surprise AS to
the new definition of the simple life, we
must confess that In the unwritten diction-
airy OF memory 1.-The undistracted following
of one main purpose" Is a pretty close de-
scription OF what Is more bluntly known as
"monomania" or fixed idea II this Is
the soul Of the simple life many fond
dreams will be dissipated by the news.
The vulgar notion has been that of vine
clad cottage and grape arbor. with six
able-boded and filial children working to
support the old folks; or, again, the vision
shifts TO a still den of good books and
better tobacco maintained by a modest fist
full OF government bonds and enjoyed In
the company of the parson and the school
master. 1t is cruel to displace such fancies
and hopes with the picture of high-speed
mono-rail path Of life with neither switches
nor side tracks.

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR WAR. HORSES OF GREAT NATIONS

In all its perfection in the great French
cavalry school at Saumur. which was
founded in the eighteenth century. Hitler
come all the smart young lieutenants from
the. great military school at st. Cyr, to
learn eQuitation and horse training. as well
as veterinary work, shoeng, saddle max
ing and military telegraphy.
Work begins before dawn by the light OF
great electric arcs and the younger horses
are broken to every kind of trick, while
carefully confined between two padded
columns. You will see gay dragons and
hussars galloping, leaping hurdles, hitting
the Turks head, mounting and dismount-
Ing at full speed. Or here will be recruits
trying to maintain their seat without bride
or stirrups, while the riding master ficks
the horse with his whip, causing him to
send the exhausted cavalryman high up in
the air, as II shot by q living catapult.
The war horse of today must be indiffer-
ent to all sorts OF startling reports. from
the crack Of a service revolver to the dread
roar Of parked artillery. Some Of them
take the flash and report very quietly even
at first. and pass on to more severe trials
Others are very tim.d and require much
patient and gentle treatment before they
are broken. At last, however, a fifteen
FOUNDER might be fred almost over their
backs and they would hardly finch.
After this they are taught to face fire

1t is worth noting, however. that in
spite of the vast number of automobiles
in this country the price of horses has
doubled in the last seven years. Efficiently
to horse an army is a vast and complicated
business. The work OF training, classify
ing and allotting the animals to the
various branches of the service calls for a
large and expensive stan of veterinary ex-
perts. For there Is much difference be-
tween horses for heavy. medium and light
cavalry, and also between those needed
for the horse artillery. field artillery, trans
port and commissariat.
1t was notorious that the hundreds of
thousands of green young animals
bought recklessly by Great Britain during
the Boer war utterly failed the British
army on the veldt,. besides hampering
Lords Roberts and Kitchener. prolonging
the costly war and causing thousands of
soldiers to sacrifice their lives, simply
through inability to avoid better mount
ed enemy. In one bunch" 25.SI2 Argen-
tine horses were sent out, and altogether
