II mas not yet been stated with au-
thority what kinds Of saddles were
used by the gallant old officers Of the
army who took that famous ride or
dcrrd by Roosevelt rs Il test Of merit.
Most of them remained il the saddle,
ii is said. The ambulance broke down
because it was not needed. The horses
suffered considerably from handicap.
The father of our little ma nr (al-

the inventor of thr best saddle ever
straddlrd by II soldier "Littlc Mac'

are dead: but the "MeClcllan saddlc'
remains. The first saddles were as
soft us velvet cushions, and soldiers
usinf them were always in distress.
The Mcclellan saddle is rs hard as
rock-a bit Of tree covered with
hogsSkin. And it is castor on the
horse than all the upholstered things
Of the prcscAt day.
" utll l'IN IL NiS Sttlt-

where President Roosevelt got his
notion that to be Il commanding Of
hccr horse and saddle are ncccs-
Sary. There were no automobiles in

high school movement for the estab.
hshment Of high schools, where none
existed, or for the improvement of
those already in existence, is succeed
ing beyond the hope of its friends
and supporters. The movement be-
gan with the hearty and Intelligent
support Of the colleges, at whose
hands it has received constant en-
eouragement. The high school teach
ers, both public and private, have lent
their warm support. At the begin
ming it was not known just how the
people would come to the upbuilding
or these secondary schools. There can
DC no room for doubt now. Of more
than two hundred communities Wis
tied within the past sixteen mon .hs,
IN only one have I been told that the
people did not care to consider tho
matter at all. Fewer thaa q nalf

ally Jailed.

The capture Of the fleeing President
OF Honduras, Manuel BODills, by The
Nleayaquan forces ia regarded as only a
question OF time. Advices received at
| Inc State Department confirm the in
ference that Bouilla sought refuge at
Annapolis, situated on an Island in the
bay OF Fonsecs, which is surrounded by
Nicarsguau gunboats and which has
been subjected 10 frequent lombard
ment from the ships during the last
week. 1t is presumed that before long
Nicaragua will endeavor TO land an
armed force on the Island for the PUT
pose Of backing up the naval lombard

surrender 10 order to prevent further
loss OF life aud damage to property. il
military forces are landed unde, cover
of the fire from the ships the probabilities
are that one OF the most bloody aud stub
born fights of the whole war will ensue
Unless others OF the Central American
Btstes should finally determine, from
fear Of the aggressiveness Of President
Zelaya, Of Eicarsgus, TO join hands with
Honduras and declare war, the capture
of Bonills, it ia thought, would bring an
end to the war.
The President has received great
number of requests for abatement by
him or speech to be made BY him 10
connection with the railroad situation.
Many Of these requests have come from
most respectable people and The Pres.-
dent has given them the utmost weight
and most careful confederation. After
thus fully looking into the matter the
President has como 10 the conclusion
thst there Is nothing new TO say at this
moment on The railway sllustioD that
he does not deem it either wise or proper
to say anything with view 10 any I'm
