The sultan Of Turkey had sent the

A Lesson In Grammar.
In a certain mountainous region the
teachers are appointed with little ques-
ton concerning their grammatical
orthodoxy. Occasionally, however, q
wave of school reform sweeps through
the valleys, and undesired examina
tons are thrust upon embarrassed ped
agogues.
It was during one of these periods OF
intellectual discomfort that the follow
ing sentence was given: ''The bird
few over the house." Accompanying
It was the query, sis flew a regular
or an irregular verb?'
One teacher after another shook hi:
head hopelessly despite the slow
thought inspiring fashion in which tn,
examiner repeated the perplexing fac
that ''The- bird - flew - over = the :
house."
Finally man rose in the rear, and
with the assurance of one who put
his trust in logic and a practical knowl
edge of natural history, he volunteere,

Postmasters and postal employees

use of the money order and registry
systems. The department has in
structed the postmasters and employees
to recommend to the public that postal

mail. The postal employees have also
been instructed to explain to the pub
lie that all other valuable mail matter
should be registered so that Ii may
be kept under special supervision and
insured, to the extent of the indemnity
afforded, against loss in the mails.
Disregard of these instructions, or
any disparagement of the registry or
money order systems whether by max
ing unfavorable comparison with otheh
means of transporting money or other
valuable mail matter. will interfere
with the policy of the postal depart
ment and will be deemed sufficient
ground for the removal of the offender.

week, and the new rule is as follows:
Postage stamps, whether affixed to en-
velopes or not, can in no case be re-
deemed from the public nor exchanged

EXPECTS FUTURE APPRECIATION
The effort to secure a considerable in
fusion of the best Arab blood into both
the native and thoroughbred stock Of
the state is a matter Of unusual i'm
portance and the gifted novelist and
her husband are heart and soul de-
voted to its success. Mrs. Tully writes
TO d friend:
The whole venture has been fear
fully expensive. but 1 shall make it 60.
And l feel that these first Arabs in
sthe state will be spoken of with some
fhing like veneration so years hence,
Doubtless. California viii remember me
longer for bringing the Arab than it
will for having written my books. And
6ustly. too. for the Arabs viii be Of
Infinitely more valne to the state"
The exhibition here viii be part of
Mrs. Tully's campaign OF education. for
while the Arab has been famous in song
and story for almost an incalculable
length Of time. the expectations of the
pure blood from the desert have been
so rare that the general knowledge of
,their characteristics is little but a
legend, and that little is credited with
more than a tinge OF romance. 1t is a
remarkable fact that the best known
breeders of Arabs outside of the desert
are women-Lady Anne Blunt and Hon.
Miss Dillon, both English women.
The history of the Arab horse is re-
markable. Their pedigree traces back
20 the five mares of Salaman, a sheik
who lived in 1886 B. c.. and was fourth
ham, who was driven into the desert
with his mother, Hagar. The Be
douins have preserved the purity of
their horses blood during that amazing
period by a most careful system. So
anxious are they 10 safeguard the pedi-
gree Of descendants of the five mares
Of Salaman that when a Bedouin is
killed in battle, his~Widow sends the
pedigree Of the captured horse to the
victor.
PECULIAR PEDIGREE SYSTEM
When an American speakssof a thor
oughbred horse, he means one that is
bred 10 a certain type and does not
vary from that type. With the Bedouin
the word "keheiIan," or thoroughbred
means but enc thing-a horse whose
lineage traces without break to a Sala-
man mare. 1t is a peculiarity of the
Be6ouin system Of pedigree that the
names OF the mares, and not those OF
the sires from which horse is de-
scended. are preserved.
The quality of the Arab is no less
remarkable than it's history. They
are rarely more than Is hands high.

TOPHAM is EXONERATED

wrongfully receiving a fee from Miss
Clark of 1880 Mission street for treat
ment given at the harbor emergency
hospital, has been exonerated by the
board of health.
In its report to Mayor Taylor the
board found Topham had treated Miss
Clark at the hospital after the case
had passed the emergency stage, re-
for his services as a private physician.
To avoid any possible scandal in future
the board has ordered that none but
emergency treatment be given at the
emergency hospitals, for which no
charge can be made.

PRESIDENT INspEcTs ARABS

President Roosevelt is much inter
ested in the Arabian horse as one well
equipped for army service in the
United States. A private horse fair
was given recently at Sycamore Hill
his summer home, in order that he
might compare the qualities of the
desert Arabs and the Justin Morgan.
The president was enthusiastic over
the Arabs, and General Aleshire. whom
he had summoned from San Francisco
to pass upon the breed, said that he
considered it well worth his long trip
from the coast. General Aleshire
talked with horsemen regarding the
best crosses to produce a hardy horse
for the army service.
1t is the intention especially to in
vite the army officers at the Presidio
to view the horses.
