THE oNCE-FAMoUs BARD.
He Will Be Sent to End His Days at
Chesterbrook Farm

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEXINGTON, KY, July 13.-"Ship the old
horse home that he may spend the last
days Of his life among the green fields Of
Chesterbrook farm, which he has helped to
make famous as thoroughbred breeding
farm throughout the country" wrote Mr..
Cassatt of Pennsylvania to William Steele
Of this city in answer to a letter written by
the latter acquainting him with the condi-
ton of his once noted stallion The Bard
whose health is rapidly failing and death
Is expected at almost any time Mr. Steele
requested that he might be allowed to kill
the horse and thus end his suffering. but it
was the wish of the Cassatt family that
their fathers favorite horse be allowed to
die natural death amid the scenes of his
triumphs. The Bard is now twenty-five
years old. but has being doing stud service
in Kentucky for the last three years. He
is by Longfellow- Brademanto. by War
Dance. He was a brilliant racehorse, hav
ing been the champion three, four and five
year old of his day.

and the other back, and go along at a
lively clip.
Visitors from the occident who have had
a chance to ride this way say 1t is a most
enjoyable form of locomotion, easy and
lulling, save for the pity that is bound to
be extended to the carriers by those who
have not become accustomed to the idea
of man doing the work Of beast of burden.
The automobile is making its way in
every part of the world with rapidity
that is really astonishing. Potentates of
the far east have become victims to the
craze, and some of the maharajahs of India
own as many a dozen cars, and are ex-
perts in handling them.
In fact, every newly discovered aid to
rapid locomotion on land is sure to be well
coined, for at the present time the human
race is faced with the difficulty of finding
means to get around. Progress is really
dependent on improved transportation.

Unc'e Sans domain, as result of the
SpanishAmercan war.
Travel in the United States is painfully
conventional. l tbs either take railroad
car, get in the automobile, use the trolley,
or, perhaps, go back to the antedated old
horse car that still survives in many cities
despite the advance of steam and cleo
tricity.
But the --merican who wants new sensa-
tons get them in Africa Here they
have broken the ostrich to harness, and
find him fully as useful as a horse. An
ostrich has enormous muscular power in
its long legs, and go at speed that
many good horse could not duplicate.
In Florida, on the ostrich farm at Jack
sonville, they have several ostriches that
have been broken to harness, and a few
summers ago a bird that raced trotters on
even terms big hit. But these sights
are no novelty in Africa. There the ostrich
finds plenty Of chance to imagine himself
an overland railroad train.
Il
The camel, the famed ship of the desert,
is another reliable medium of transportation
in the far east that never gets in trouble
with the authorities, brides legislatures, per-
m.ts a system of rebates discrimination
or fails to run time The sacred zebra
also has to do it's share of the hauling, and
elephants are also pressed into service that
man, lord of creation, may have his burdens
eased.
The state carriage of the Maharajah of
Rewah is most wonderful affair, and is
drawn by elephants
Beside the jinricksha the laps have a Curl
our form of push cart which Is like a
wheelbarrow without any sides. One man
sits on each side of the big wheel In the
center, and a carrier. taking his place be-
tween the shafts, pushes along the whole
combination at a good rate of speed
The troka is the Russian form of car
riage, pulled by three horses and driven by
a picturesque Jehu who looks more like a
priest in his whiskers and long robe than
the kind of man who usually holds the
reins.
In Belgium, where women carry the milk
from house to house, the carts are nearly
all drawn by dogs, who have limitless pa
thence and endurance, and get to know the
routes so well that they can almost do all
the work themselves. 1t is even said that
they become SO expert that they will not
stop at home whose owners are poor paw
though this detail is not substantiated by
proof.

If a man was u bootblack or janitor he
fore he rose to success and local emine,ce
he never fails to refer to 1t. He boasts of

has in him the stuff to rise under circum-
stances that were unfavorable and discour-
aging. But suppose woman who now be-
longs TO the leading set in town has one
time worked in some ones kitchen. do you
suppose she would ever refer to it? Really
what would she do to any one who would
refer to 1t IN her presence? The man
glories in his work. The woman is ashamed
of hers once she gets beyond ii. She is an
economic factor when she has to be, but
never from choice.

Citizens organizations in Alexandria and

against what they term the inadequate
facilities given them by the Washington,
Arlington and Falls Church railroad. and
have appealed to the Virginia corporation
commission for redress. Attorney Moncure

agitation.
Their efforts bore fruit yesterday when
the commission assured committee of

Another chapter was added to the story
which had its beginning in the 'Overcoat
Incident" at West Point and which has
stirred army circles when an order was
issued by the War Department requiring
Lieut.. Col Ayrcs to appear before a retir-
ing board The immediate cause of the
order is said to be the publication recently
of an Interview with Col. Ayres in which
he is alleged to have criticised army

trouble between Mrs. Ayres and the mill
tary authorities at West Point over the

the Mississippi know no greater fun than a
ride in an OK cart, sometimes two, some
times four, of the good natured bovines be-
ing yoked to the wagon, depending the
size of the load.
In the Bible country along the tortuous
narrow highways of Palestine, it is no rare
sight to see native women riding muleback
and often double saddle is fixed that one
woman can ride on each side of the long
suffering animal
Some of the ancient wagons bear an
amusing resemblance to vehicles that are
TODAY hailed as the very last WORD IN hlou-
ern ideas of locomotion. For instance III

much used 1t has two wheels and Is drawn

of pneumatic tires, it would look Tor an tiie

like Lou Dillon or Major Delmar.
The bicycle as means of transportation
has by no means the vogue it once enjoyed
in the United States, but in Europe it is as
popular as ever, and it is no uncommon
sight all over the continent to come in con-
tact with parties of Americans, Frenchmen
or Englishmen who are touring the country
on the flying wheels.

OW can the world get from place
to place is a problem that is now
engaging the attention of law
l. makers and transportation eX-

Railroad rates, discrimination, two-cent
fare bills and host of other knotty ques-
tons are bringing wrinkles to the brows
of railroad presidents and forcing law
makers into statutes whose value is ques-
toned by many and warmly praised by
Others
Men like James j. Hill, organizer of the
mighty roads that crCss the great west,
say that the future development of the
nation rests entirely in its ability to so.ve
the great question of getting tracks enough
to carry the increasing number of passen-
gers and the piling-up volume Of freight.
But not all countries have to wrestle
with this knotty issue. Some people are
mercifully delivered from railroads, and
never know what the corruption of railroad
companies is. They are still going along
in the primitive fashion of centuries ago,
with the vehicles passed down to them from
half dozen generations back.
Ireland has never swaycd in it's loyalty
to the jaunting car. The picturesque Old
wagon, with its two wheels and its fiery
little pony dashng ga!!y on its way, has
been the subject of many songs and poems
and it can still be seen Erin's Isle, in
any part from north to south.
The jaunting car is especially well suited
for travel over the hills and boglands of
the Emerald Isle.
Just as distinctively japanese as the
jauntiHg ca" s. Irish, the jinricksha of ia
pan has also defied the passage Of time
THIS is the favoIite vehicle of the jap
anesc man of means for himself or his
lovely daughters. 1t takes q muscular
whee,man to dash over the roads pulling the
light buggy-ike wagon, but though the
work may seem hard. it is somewhat eased
by the shade trees that line all the roads
in far-off Nippon and make it only in occa-
sional stretches that the runner has to ex-
pose himself to the sun
The jinrcksha is also in use in China
especially in the coast cities, and one
of the first acts OF a foreigner when he
comes to these cities is to see what a ride
in a man-pulIed wagon is like.
