Enathlus desired TO learn eloquence and
art of pleading and he hargained with
Protagoras for instructions. agreeing 10
pay one-half of the fee down and the
other half on the first day he gained
case. 1t took the young man so long TO
learn that his tutor came to the conclu-
sion that he was delaying his start in
business to avoid paying the other half
of the fee. SO Protagoras sued him for
the money. When the case came up for
trial Protagoras said TO the young man:
You act most absurdly. young man, be-
cause in either case you must pay me.
If the judges decide against you. you
must pay and if they decide for YOU.
you must pay for you will then have
gained your case" You are wrong"
replied the young man. Il will win
either way. If the judges are for me. I
will not have to pay: and if they are
against me I will not have to pay. for
this last was the very bargain between

The Judges considered the case ineXplica-
BILE. and as they could not see their way
to any decision they adjourned the case
to day that never came for any OF the
principals. On Protagoras' side it was
a case of losing when he won and on the
young students side winning when he
lost.

his donkey to run at large. The question
remains undecided
Another incident in which a donkey
figures was told by Demosthenes in order
TO gain the attention of an UNIV Hing au-
dience. Being Kissed by public meeting
of Athenians. the Greek orator quieted
them by announcing that he had a short
story to tell them. "A certain youth" he
said, hired an ass in summer time to
go from here to Megera. About noon.
when the sun was very hot and both he
that hired the ass and the owner were
DESTROYS of sitting In the shade of the ass
they each thrust the other away.
Question of Shadow.
1.-The owner argued that he lent only
the ass, but not the shadow. The hirer
replied that since he had hired the ass.
all that belonged to the ass was his"
Demosthenes turned as if to go away.
but the mob called him back and begged
him to proceed He began with this re-
tort: How comes 1t to pass that you are
DESTROYS of hearing a story of the shadow
of an ass and refuse to give ear TO mat
tiers of greater moment" The orator
then made his speech but he never told
how the question was decided.

apart from the old campaigners. So one
is forced year after year to see the same
horses running. simply because the breed
ers know they have no chance with the
youngsters. and that they are beaten be-
fore the show begins.
THE judges, too. are a great question.
and l am all in favor of one man for
each type of horse, so that all responsible

not be shifted to others. / would have
him a man of established reputation a
a horseman of the best type. and under
no circumstances an exhibitor at the
other shows 1 would have a man whose
reputation as a judge of horses was more
to him than the opinion of any one, and
the more of a stranger he is in the COM
munty the better for all concerned. A
judge should. like juryman, have an
open mind and this is not often the
case Too often the prizes are assigned
before the horses enter the ring. 1t is
this that makes the outlook for the horse
shows so uncertain, and il is not to be
wondered at.

the shows. In fact. these events are kept
as clean as is possible. and the undesir-
able citizen is kept out. Last year a GER
tain very rich young. horseman made him
self obnoxious by trying to drive his au-
tomobile through the gate leading to the
show grounds at Fredericksburg, Va. He
was not only promptly elected by the
police. but he found himself absolutely
ostracised by society.
Horses Reflect Owners Work.
One of the principal reasons that the
horse show will always be success is that
the animal shown is TO some degree the
work of the owners hands and head. He
has been trained and taught. and his
manners and performance reflect credit
upon his teacher. And even the poor
man has a chance in the game. If he
owns good horse and gives him care
and attention he may take blue ribbons oy
the score. The blue ribbon prizes range
in value from $50 to so In ADDITION 10
the money value of these prizes. the value
of the horse itself is greatly increased by
his successful performance.
Whereas the horse show is great In
stitution and has been OF inestimablt
value TO breeders and owners. there are
many things which might be done to IN
crease the usefulness of the exhibition.

that under the ordinance a man could
keep as many hogs as he desired, so long
as he had only two pigs. A majority was
of the opinion that a pig was young
hog, but at what age it ceases to be
pig no one felt qualified to state; so
they decided to change the wording to
two hogs"
One of the nice points of a serious ma
ture was Coke's remarka BILE defense. 1t
appeared In evidence that Co.,e and his
servant Woodburne, assaulted a Mr..
Crisp. for the purpose of numbering him
in order that Coke's wife might inherit
his fortune. Crisp being her brother.
They left him for dead, but he was dis
covered by some passing farmers and
taken home. where he recovered. His
face was badly disfgured and action was
brought against Coke and Woodburne
for mayhem Coke's defense was that he
had attempted to murder Crisp. not to
MAIN him. therefore he could not be held
on that charge. Lord Chief Justice King
ruled to the contrary, however. and both
men were executed.
Less serious. but more humorous. is the
point raised in case before a Chicago
police magistrate as to whether or not an
office boy works. An optician by the
name of Hardy was charged with work
ing his Office boy more than eight hours
day. Mr.. Hardy contended that although

multitude of SINS even in judges eye.
and manners do even more and so my
idea is this: Let the northern horses.
as they are called, come, but be ready for
them.
"rrhe harness classes might be confined
to Virginia bred horses. the appoint
ments of these classes are out of reach Of
most of us. but the classes for saddle
horses. ponies and hunters should be
open to ALL as far as residence goes; for
a good saddle and a correct bride will fit
them for any competition where the ques-
ton of appointments is concerned.
whenever l have advanced my ideas
on this question of training and condition
the answer has invariably been, But do
not know how to get a horse into that
state of perfect condition that enables
very inferior animal to be placed above
one that is really his superior in every
thing but this matter of candition nor
how to produce the smooth gats and
faultless manners that are so often seen
Virginia's Natural Horsemen
MY answer to this is very simple
Learn" What man has done, man can
do. and Virginians are natural horsemen
eve can all learn something about even
our own horses every day, and people
who think they have nothing more to
learn are not apt to succeed. A victory
is a very hollow one where there is no
| competition. One does not care to say. L
won class a.. but I beat Champion So
and-so.' 1t is the company that proves
/ the value of the ribbon, at least, that is
my idea.
| However. the cry to restrict the entries
at the Virginia horse shows to Virginia
horses has gone up and l understand
that it has prevailed. If this is the case
| ! fancy that a good many horses will be
seen in the ring that would otherwise not
| appear, but 1t Is question whether it will
| be an advantage to Virginia or not The
classes may fill better. but rather doubt
1t; and the keen desire to win over some
| we'll known horse will be absent. If the
| different associations would alter their
prize lists l think 1t would do more good
| and be more sportsmanlike than barring
outside horses.
For instance. let them have more green

ut is not al all improbable that the
advent OF the airship will call for
legal opinion on the question OF
III what might be termed aerial tres
pass In other words, can a person
be sued for trespass II he crosses an
others property in an airship? An airship
would certainly interfere with the column
of air superintendent on the close Of
another" but does he own the superin-
cumbent column OF air." The search for
precedents runs back to Lord Ellen
brough's opinion upon the question.
whether a man. by mailing TO his own
wall a board which overhangs his neigh
boris field. is liable to action of tres
pass? In rendering a decision In the mega
tive he said: Il once had occasion to rule
that a man who, from the outside of a
field discharged 4 gun into IT, so that the
shot must have struck the soil, was guilty
of breaking and entering it. But l am by
no means prepared TO say that firing
across a field in the air. no part OF the
