Message of the Moccasin.

may mean something, although it is not
a Photograph.
The meaning must perforce depend
largely upon the surroundings of the
maker. A thousand reasons might in
fluence this or that pattern. Sometimes
very old and wise woman who made
moccasins might have a dream. and she
would put her dream into the moccasin.
Perhaps well content and simple minded
maker would put in merely a reflex of the
life about her the object with which she
was in continual contact. There would
be present the continual uibute of super
stition 10 the great forces. life. death, the
unknown hereafter. the air. the sun, the
wind. The trees. the earth. the imme-

the passing event of present Importance
all these abstract or concrete things might
come into the mind of the worker with
pigments. quilts and beads. These the
moccasin maker put down best she
might. She could not write II out for her

So in time she came to use the condensed
thought OF symbolism, just as we do in
our astronomy or astrology or mathe-

The Australian game bird however. is
the native buStard, or wild turkey" as it
is there called. although it is now very
scarce excepting in the extreme back
country. At time ii was common
enough in Victoria. though now rare In
that state. but on the back blocks of New
South Wales it was plentiful a few years
ago.
They were, nevertheless, difficult to
stalk on foot, but, curiously enough. will
allow one to drive quite within range, and
have seen many shot from a buggy to-

Game Little Mountain Pony.

From the Outing Magazine.
Usually, however, mountain ponies are
full of quality that makes them different
from all other horses. and aside from
helping hunters and pleasure seekers into
the untraveled places. they have proven
wonderful factors in the development Of
the mountain frontier Loaded with
lumber. flour, cook stoves and what not.
they have pushed upward and onward the
borders of civilization; burdened with
precious ore. they have threaded their
way down from the mines, and when you
read of the long explorations of the trap
cavalry troops. remember that the solid,
patient little pony has been a partner IN
1t all
There are herds Of them out there now
paving through the snow for feed In the
winter and running wild and healthy over
the mountain pastures. Occasionally
some stray far and are lost for a season
or two. drifting farther and farther into
the mountains ultimately to form those
wild bands that claim no home and know
no master. Relays of fresh men and
fresh horses have failed in various at
tempts to run them down. And even
when one is caught and we'll broken, at
the first opportunity to join his kind he
harks back TO the primal call like an
eagle to the eyre. Like all blooded
creatures he thrives best on freedom:
and to know wild. graceful dignity. one
needs but to watch the stallion of one of
these bands mount a knoll and throw up
his head for wind of lurking danger.

/ chief source of litter in our streets. The
cost of cleaning New York city thorough
fares is as follows: For sweeping. 81. 134.
1915; for carting. 81. Al .3J3.12: for final
disposition. 81. lS0. 6sj.2S. while the cost
of administration brings the total expense
incurred in purging New York streets of
a proportion great by any estimate, to
more than 5000 COO per annum.
The unnecessary cost of truckage by
horses adds enormously to the annual ex-
pense account of our metropolitan mil
lions. 1t is shown by actual test that one
commercial auto vehicle will do the work
Of from four to six horses and in doing
so will save 500 a month. There are 100
coo horses in New York city At least
half of them are employed in business.
This means that SlS.ND.O0O. which would
be saved by the substitution of auto We
hicles. is thrown away annually.
A conservative estimate adds % per
cent to the cost of vegetables. fruit meat
and other supplies in the city which must
be hauled by horses to the consuming
masses.
The additional cost of living in the city
due to dependence upon the horse when
auto power could be invoked is most con-
servatively estimated as averaging 10
cents per capita per day AS the latest
estimate places the population of New

TEST LEGALITY OF
ANT|-BETT|NG LAW
Three Cases to Be Prepared
Monday at the Instance of
Friends of Racing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 13.-For- the pur-
pose of testing the legality of the new
anti-betting law three test cases will be
prepared Monday at the insance of friends
of racing, who have retained the law firms
of Davis, Stone & Auerbach and Nichol.
Annable. Lindsay & Fuller Three well
known layers Of odds will be arrested
charged with violating section 351 of the
penal code, and writs of habeas corpus.
also writs of certiorar will be sued out
to carry the cases before supreme court
justice Immediately 1t is understood that
these test cases will be made with the
approval of Assistant District Attorney
Robert H. Elder OF Kings county, who.
however. stated today that he would not
agree to have the cases tried by a friend
ly judge.
There will be, 1t is said. three tests;
first. whether 1t is legal to post odds;
second. as to what constitutes a wager in
the eyes Of the law and to what extent
individual betting without the recording
of wagers can be carried on: third, a
general construction of the law.
Making of Any Bet a Violation Of
Law.
District Attorney Elder still insisted to-
day that the making of any bet whatso-
ever was a violation of the law, and for
that reason the Jockey Club, through
John G. Cavanagh, notified all the pro-
fessional layers at the track that pub
lie display of prices and the acceptance
of wagers. either in cash or on credit,
would not be tolerated.
When the news of these test cases be-
came known after the last race at Graves
end today some persons held the belief
that habeaS CORPUS proceedings would In
validate the emergency clause in the new
law. which is that it shall take effect
Immediately. In that event stay OF
proceedings would result which would
permit credit betting to go on unmolested
until a verdict had been handed down.
But one Of the lawyers of the Jockey
Club stated positively that habeas corpus
proceedings would affect only the layers
arrested on charges, and that the police.
acting under orders from the district at
tornev's office could continue the meth
DDS which, so far. have abolished all kinds
of public speculation.
