houses which were built close to the
stream. In the path of the cloudburst

The Circus and the Arab Sized.

CircuSeS are perhaps more to blame
for the misrepresentation of the Arab
horse than any other source. "A friend
Of mine owns circus, and l saw his
posters few years ago claiming to eX-
hibit eighteen or twenty of the only
Arabian horses brought to America.
He said they were captured with great
difficulty and brought to New York by
a special permit Of the sultan; that
they were of the family known in his
tory as the eagle feather horses, so
much priced in the queen of Sheba's
days; that they were snow white, with
big markings in their spots of the tip
Of eagle feathers. We don't have to
believe everything we read on the cir
rus posters. In this case am mighty
rertain these spotted Arabians" were
bought at Albany, Ore. The most Pc
euliar part Of this spotted horse bust
ness Is this, and it is not very strange
reason when you know it, that spotted
anything is created by a mixture Of
different races or different breeds, and
that likely accounts for the fact that
the Arabian desert in all it's history
has never produced spotted, or pie
bald, horse, possible from the fact that
there is never any mixture of blood

"Goinq to the Dous."

The phrase ''going to the dogs" has
puzzled the explainers of metaphorical
expressions rather needlessly. 1t has
even been suggested that it Is pro-
fame perversion of "going to the gods,"
and an allusion has been detected to
''canis," the dog throw, the worst
throw with the dice among the ancient
Romans. shakespeare Throw physic
to the dogs" and the Scriptural "Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs
have been quoted in connection with
the expression. But it seems fairly
obvious reference to the fate of the
