In bygone days there was no more
enthusiastic breeder of horses than the
Prophet Mohammed. In the course Of
time he became the owner Of a vast
number Of mares, and the point was
how to arrive at a selection OF the very
best At last says Country Life, he bit
upon the following scheme: For three
days and nights the mares were kept
without water; then they were looged
and. as might have been expected, tore
madly Off TO their usual watering place.
Just as they were on the very brink OF
the water the trumpeter blew the war
signal or assembly. Maddened with
the thirst, the mares forgot their train
ing, all save Eve, who, forgetting their
own urgent need, galloped back at
once to seek their masters. These FIVE
mares were set apart by Mohammed as
representing the pick Of his stud, and
from them, we are told, descended the
best and noblest breed Of horses.

RAILROAD casualties receive such

recently. that there is common be.
lief on the part Of the public that one
Is more liable to accidents while trav-
cling than when living the simple life
In the confines of his home. AS a mat.
ter of cold fact, statistics show that
accident insurance companies pay more
losses to people who get injured in
their own homes or on their premises
than they do to people hurt in railway
accidents. Insurance companies pay
more money to people who get hurt
hanging pictures or taking stoves apart
than they do to the victims of head
on collisions. 1t sounds strange. but

lHO MINUTE SKETCHES
Thomas Jefferson.
.waHoMAs JEFFERSON, while the
~ J. H. EDcERrOM
great Democrat of his era, was
of rather aristocratic parentage

hAlwmHOMAS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat of his era, was
of rather arstocratic parentage
~ and had the advantage of lib
Rral education. He was peculiarly,
kbnsldering his time and surroundings,
" the type of the scholar in politics.
THAT he should have been this and yet
Vie foremost American radical Of his
Hayl marks him as an odd combination
HI our history. The turning point in
Ms~career was his appointment to draft
Nhe Declaration of Independence. This
Same about from a double cause-Jef-
lfBrson's reputation as a writer of polit-
1Eal documents and the jealousy felt
alT certain members of congress toward
Eschard Henry Lee, who had intro
Huced the independence resolution.
Wsolumes have been written to disprove
Jefferson's authorship Of the Declare
ION, and a widespread belief has per-
Hsted even to the present that most
hf it, if not all, was really written by
Thomas Paine. However that may
haYe been, the fact that Jefferson was
appointed to prepare the document, the
consequent Inference that it was his
work and the reputation resultant
therefrom operated powerfully to make
him a political leader. In addition to
this, the unquestioned products of his
pen, breathing the spirit of advanced
democracy and the doctrines of the
French revolution, tended to place him
Mt the head of the growing democratic
sentiment in this country.
Jefferson's greatest power was his
optimistic faith in the people. He
trusted them, and they returned the
compliment Hereih Is to be found
The secret Of his success. He was not
a speaker. He belonged to the school
of the idealists rather than to that Of
the practical politicians. He inclined
10 be a freethinker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
than helps toward popularity. 1t was
Jefferson's persistent advocacy Of the
rights of the people and his implicit
trust in their judgment that made him
so strong with the masses. 1t was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning of the nine
teenth century and an influential fac
tor from that day to the present.
In person Mr.. Jefferson was tall and
bony, with light eyes, rudy complex
Ion and red hair.

lAN'N | VI Illh'Nfl
 The directors of the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad have a committee at work to obtain from the New York Central a modification of the contract under which the New Ha tnn road uses the Grand Central sta ton and entrance to that terminal over the tracks of the Harlem railroad from Woodlawr, The agreement now in force to which the New Haven tho Harlem railroad and the New York central are parties, provides that the New Haven road, besides paying seven cents for each passenger carried south of Woodlawn, shall also pay one third of the maintenance cost, Including In. terest of the Grand Central terminal
 The New Haven road under this contract must provide one-third of the maintenance of the enlarged terminals of the New York Central which In creased cost, the New Haven directors feel, is out of proportion to the faeli- ties afforded to the New Haven road Prcsidenta Mellen and his associates on tho New Haven board arc anxious to have the terms of the contract changed so that in future the New Haven shall pay only for facilities which it uses This involves an agree mont between the New Haven and the New York Central regarding the proper compensation per unit of service This point has not yet been agreed upon, lt is- 4 fff f,f New Haven directors will have itg work done in time to report to the next meeting of the New Haven board, which win be hold the second Satur day in January For tho purpose of considering more easily the many a change in the financial relations of tho two systems in regard to the Grand Central station, the committee has had tho facts printed, and they make a vol ume Of seventy five pages The reilrn ment of w.
