does not go in for either jumping or hunting
Appointing her one of the judges at the MineoIa
horse show was a tribute to her knowledge Of
horses and sense of justice that, it is said has
never been paid to any other woman
The task of handling and training horses for
the ring is a tremendous undertaking 1t en-
braces number of details unimagined by the
iayman and is so arduous that even Mrs. Gerken
could not stand the hard work. For this reason,
her friends say, and because she could not get
competent men to train her horses, she sacrificed
them all.
Mrs Gerken maintains silence to her future
plans except that she means TO rest while. but
her friends point to the fact that not bit of
harness or an equipage went with the horses.
When she rests a bit she Will gather new

say.

fifteen years, nearly all Of which were trained
for the ring and then ridden or driven by her
self She has also been a most successful
breeder of horses, and many prize winner on
the tanbark has been bred by her. One of these
has carried off more than sixty blue ribbons
Some of Mrs. Gerken's ponies have won ribbons
and renown all over the country, and brought at
her recent sale, high prices for ponies Her
ponies were ranked with those of f. H. Harri-
man. and considered by some to be up to
higher standard of merit
Mrs Gerken has often been said to have Won
more ribbons than any other exhibitor on the
tanbark To this she says:
Il have probably won a couple of thousand
ribbons during the time l have shown horses.
and for the number shown / think l have Won
more ribbons than any other exhibitor"

THE POOR ARMY

The ST. Louis Christian Advocate, the
editor of which, by the way, is the Rev.
DR.. Palmore, who is prominently men
toned as a possible candidate of the
Prohibitionists for the Presidency, COM
menting upon the state of affairs in
the United States army, says:
The most unfortunate fact about our
army is that so many of Our army Of
hcers are drunkards, who are evi-
dently anxious to make the rank and
file also drunkards by insisting on
the restoration of the canteen. The
shamelessness with which many Of
ficers lie about the beneficial effects
of the canteen is appalling to every
sober patriot who has ever served as
a soldier.

What Prohibition Means

This people like liquor-I will say 1--WE" like
liquor. Suppose we do. That is the test It
wouldn't cost anything to give up something
we didn't want. 1t would not be worth any
thing, it would give no power, no grace. How
does people become great? By gratifying
their passions and appetites? Nay, but by
sacrificing them.

taxation, but the owners of real and

alcoholic liquor traffic in the state of

The withdrawal of this great reve-
nue would compel a readjustment of

the whole problem.
