derive more fun, physical development
and ruddy health TO the square inch
out OF a Shetland pony than In any
other way. In large measure this Is
true, for by horseback riding every mus
Gle in the body Is brought into play,
making 1t vastly superior to the me-
chanlcal exercise obtained from a gym
nasum, and In riding and driving
pony the child readily acquires self re-
lance and courage. quIckness of indi-
vldual acton and sense of judgment.
The accompanying cut from the
American Cultivator shows u notable
pony, with description as follows:
Standing forty inches high, Howard
b. is of remarkably good conforma-
tion, having an unusually small head,
full chest, deep body, short back, ex-
cellent hind quarters and very straight
legs, with good bone. Wonderful to
relate, he is as vigorous and in as
good condition today as when he en-
tered the show ring at the Worlds
fair and as perfect specimen Of the
Shetland is difficult to be excelled
either for beauty or speed. His color
Is black and white.
A Contrast.
The largest horse so far as is known
was brought to Watertown, Mimi. by
Sylvester Dory Of this city, who traded
herd Of Shetland ponies for him,
says the st. Paul Pioneer Press. The
animal stands eighty-one inches high
and weighs close to 1900 pounds. He
was raised by II. II. Carroll, farmer
living near Doland. in this state.

America is but another name for op
portunity. France has eight persons tC
our one per square mile; Europe has
| nearly four to our one The United
States has 10 per cent better land thar
Europe Haven't you better opportu-
mites than the boys of France and Eu-
rope? Our danger is that Of becoming
extravagant, of falling to learn the les
sons Of systematic saving and certain
economy so necessary for the Euro
pean boy to learn and 'alctice.
Opportunity Always Knocking.
1t is said that opportunity knocks
once at the door of every man aud
that the one who was out knocks ever
afterward. The first part Of the state
ment is not true unless you make the
"once" read "all the time" Opportu-
nifty is with you all the time. Great
corporations are constantly looking for
men Of brains and character, men who
can do something that is needed in the
worlds work. Learn to do something
that is useful and do 1t well and your
fortune is made If you will keep at it.
Today Is Doors Day.
This is an age OF doing. Be able to
deliver the goods" and you VIII be
wanted. The test is doing. Learn how
to think and you will soon know what
to think. A man is Of little value until
he can take care Of himself. Learn to
take care Of yourself and help others
to the same high standard.
An honorable calling Is any calling
that makes man stronger for the
worlds work, anything that needs to
be done for the advancement of our
civilization. Do not all try to get into
professions. DO not let your parents
kill themselves trying to make and
save for you. Make and save for your
selves.
Near the Top.
Every one can work at wages that
will enable him to live and save some
thing, but the greater demand Is near
the top The builder of a railroad
showed me three vacant chairs In his
Office and told me he would pay $500
per year to persons who could fill them
and do the work. They had been va
cant for three months. He also said
that he had advertised for common
Iaborers and got train load.

It was the custom in the days of our old navy for the men to bring to the mast all worn-out articles which were to be inspected, handed fin, and exchanged for new.

A PAIR OF SLEEVE
 PROTECTORS
The Fat Mans Memory wss Stirred

The other day at a poultry market l saw chicken butcher wearing a pair of those basket sleeve protectors, and l stood and laughed like a fool" said the fat man with the white Woollen mittens. First time I'd seen a pair of basket sleeve protectors for years-dont get to markets much and so l just had to laugh. Tell you why. When l was a tyke l used to look with wonder and awe upon a fel- low who wore a pair of basket sleeve protectors l considered that a fel- low with a pair of those things was all right all right, and then plus some more.
 They had a kind of a jounty devil may-care air about 'em that I cant de- fine, but it was there, and l revered and reverenced 'em. l made up my mind that if ever grew up and got the price, me, too, for pair of those basket sleeve protectors, no matter what sort of work I'd happen to tackle to make a liivng.
 Queer dickenses, boys, hey? Mem Der those patent pencil attachments that marketmen used to have-may have 'em yet-hitched to their aprons? We'll. l thought those were pretty nifty things, too and I used to secret ly banker to own one of 'em. Made up my mind that I would own one of 'em. too, when l got to be 6 man but somehow or another never seemed to want one after I reached the shaving age.
 Guess some of my ambitions as boy were pretty crazy, anyhow. Twas so jealous of the first boy I ever met that could spit through his teeth at mark and hit it that hated him. That same boy pretty early in life got job driving delivery wagon for a grocery. Well. pretty soon after he got that job he was wearing 8 pair of those patent elastic shirt sleeve SUD- porters. or holders, or whatever you'd call 'em: things with clutch at either end that pulled the cuff of the sleeve back from the wrist.

Th.W Defense Turnc Tables

New York, Jan. 6.-The de- fense in the case of Harry K. Thaw sprung it's first great sur. prise of the second trial today by announcing that it had issued subpoenas for several expert witnesses who had testified for the prosecution at the first hear ing year ago who. when Dis trict Attorney Jerome applied for lunacy commission, made an affidavit that in their opin- ion Thaw at the time of the in quiry was suffering from an in. curable form of insanity. These same doctors, however, testified on the witness stand, in response to Mr. Jerome's famous hypothe- tical question, that they believed Thaw knew what he was doing when he shot and killed Stan ford White on Madison Square Roof Garden. This move is in. tended by the defense as a block to the prosecutions putting these same doctors on the stand and is taken by some as showing determination that Thaw shall not be convicted even with the danger of a stay in the asylum for criminal insane at Mattewan as an alternative.
