The Useful Kew,


The Baileys owned a hunting lodge
in the wilderness, days journey from
their own home For many months at
a time the cabin remained Tntenanted,
but Just before the hunting season
each year 1t was Mr. Bailey's habit to
send a certain thrifty French-Indian
guide to the woods - sec il II were
uninjured and to set the place In Or
der.
One fall Jacques, despatched on this
annual errand, managed-with much
help from the station agent at the
point nearest the property-to tele-
phone the news that the cabin was
burned to the ground.
1t happened that business carried
Mr.. Bailey the next morning to a city
sixteen miles distant. Regardless OF
inclement weather, Jacques, who mad
returned to town to find his employer
gone, followed him on foot.
Some hours later Mr.. Bailey, seated,
In the hotel office, rose to greet his
weather-beaten but faithful servitor.
"Msieu'," breathed Jacques, brushing
strings Of wet black hair from his eyes,
dose cabeen sine ees hall burn heem-
self up way down hon top hof dose
groun'. Messing left. All ees burn up,
all burn down."
But you told me all that over the
telephone Jacques. That was all that
was necessary"
"vraiment,". returned faithful JAG
ques with dignity and certain air of
triumph. "Eet ees truly, old, dose bad
news zat ze cabeen ees gone; but,
m'sieu', here ees re key."-Youth's

"In the breeding of the thorough
bred horse there is something more
involved than merely gambling on the
turf" said L. D. Detwiler Of Amelia
Court House, Va, at the Metropolitan.
Mr. Detwiler is a breeder of thorough
breds on a small scale in the Old Do
minion.
1T Is a matter Of military import
not to be wholly overlooked nor has
tily dismissed as being impracticable
or unimportant," he continued. Men
who are familiar with the history of
the civil war know that for the first
three years the Federal troops never
won a single cavalry engagement,
because they were mounted on horses
bred in the northern states, wholly un-
fit for cavalry service. In the last
year Of the war the government man.
aged to get hold of a few hundred
thoroughbred geldings, and the scale
of battle turned. The victories of the
southern cavalry were due in a large
measure to the fact that up to the
outbreak Of the war they had used
none Lu. thoroughbred sires for all
purposes. The blood of many turf
celebrities flowed in the veins Of nine
out of ten horses that carried the men
in gray.
1T was no wonder, therefore, that
the message of Mcclellan that Pleas
anton with his cavalry Is in full pur-
suit became a joke among the south
ern soldiers. 1T was a sure thing that
after the 9rst hours pursuit. the
southern horses could gallop ten
miles in less time than the Federal
cavalry could cover seven.
mo army can get along without
good horses, and l think the govern
nlent should take up the breeding Of
thoroughbreds with a view to getting
type of horse suitable for cavalry
mounts The Jockey Club Of the East
has started a movement in the right
direction by organizing the New York
Breeding Bureau and donating thor
oughbred horses for service In the up
per part Of the state 1t would be a
good thing If the other states were to
take this up. The good effect Of such
a movement of course will not be seen
at once. but there is no doubt in the
mind of any man who knows anything
about horses and the value of good
blood lines, that eventually New York
will lead the United States in good
horses suitable for cavalry mounts
