Among certain Siberians the bride

until he can catch her. But they do
not give him fair race in the open.
The bride, surrounded by her female

A Theater Dialogue.

The curtain had fallen on the first
act at n Broadway theater when a
man. correctly aitired and apparently
of refinement, leaned toward a woman
occupying seat directly in front of
him--u woman who had naturally re-
moved her hat, but whose hair was
arranged in the extreme of fashion,
aided by "boughten" puffs.
II beg your pardon, madam" said
the man in an audible whisper but If
you would remove your hair and sub
stitute your hat believe | would be
able TO see something more of the
stage"
The woman didn't scream. She
didn't even faint. She merely turned
around and replied:
"Jack. IL you weren't my brother
I'd slap your face."--New York Globe

ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.

The Modern Animal a Cross Between

In Wissen fur Allie Professor Koenlg
discusses in some detail the origin OF
the horse OF today. He finds that the
horse of neolithlc times was not spe-
cifically distinct from the horse OF the
present, While there Is no doubt that
the horse Of that period was used by
man for food, there seems TO be 10 con-
elusive evidence as to whether II was
domesticnted or not. His own opinion,
however is that 1t was probably do.

The horse of that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or semiwild horse
that liyed in southern Russia up to n
century ago. This was hog maned,"
short legged, large headed beast. II
seems probable that the domcstlcated

more like the Arab horses. and came
from Assyrla. Where the Assyrans
obtained them is unknown, but 1t was
probably from southern Asia, where
this long named breed has been devel.
oped in all probability as the result of
long continued domestication. The
modern horse is cross between these
two breeds, with further mixture Of
the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too.
was itself descendant of the earlier
long named horse.
The origin Of the long named horse Is
