Dad Walsh. Plymouth, Wis, who

Walsh, mayor of West Allis, has the
distinction of being the Oldest horse
man in the country.
dad" is 104 years old. Less than
two years ago he drove one of his
horses in a regular race He is known
by horse trainers from coast to coast,
having made many trips around the
racing circuits.
In Plymouth two years ago, Mr..
Walsh, watching one of his horses
race, thought the driver was not u.s.
ing his best efforts to win. When the
first heat had been finished and the
horse had crossed under the. wire in
the ruck, dad" rushed out upon the
track and upbraided the driver. When
it came time for the second heat he
was in the sulky, and he won the race
handily, as the horse appeared to have
the other racers outclassed
Mr.. Walsh was born in Ireland. He
came to this country 40 years ago and
settled in Plymouth.
Despite the fact that a century and
more has rolled over his head, DAD
is far from feeble and decrepit old
man. While the passing years have
furrowed his face and thinned his
hair, perhaps, they have not dimmed
his faculties.

JOKE TURNED ON FREDERICK
How the King Of Prussia Was Out
Witted by the cIeverness
of a Courtier.

1t is related of Frederick the Sec
ond, king of Prussia, that he one day
made present of golden snuff box
to one of his counts. When the lat
ter opened the lid he found the pic
ture of an ass painted upon the under
side of it. Though he scarcely
relished the kings joke, he said moth
ing at the time, but as soon as he
quilted the kings presence he sent
one OF his Wallets with the snuff box
to the city, and gave instructions that
the picture of the ass was to be
painted out, and portrait of the
king put in it's place.
A few days later distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one of the guests, and after
time he produced his snuff box and
pretended to examine it with the air
OF man who was proud to have re-
ceived such a gift from the king The
latter, wishing to enjoy little amuse-
ment at the counts expense, men
toned to the duchess of Brunswick
that he had made present of the
WA " lLS COuuC Ou tu6 preceding
day. She desired to inspect it, and
when the box was handed to her she
opened the lid, and looking inside,
cried in raptures: Perfect! The
likeness is charming. 1t is one of the
best portraits of you that I have ever
SEEN"
She handed the box to the person
next to her, who was equally
charmed with the likeness. From one
to another the box was passed, and
all testified to the excellent resem-
blance which the picture bore to the
king The king, thinking that the ass
head was still to be seen on the snuff
box, felt exceedingly embarrassed;
but at last the snuff box, having made
the tour of the table, came to his
hands, and the first glance showed
him how cleverly the count had an
ticipated his little joke and turned it
against him.

Tribute to 1ennxson.

There is memorial window to
Tennyson in Haslemere parish church,
with tablet bearing the following in
scription:
In memory of Alfred, Lord Ten
nyson, poet laureate, in thankfulness
for the music of his words, and for
that yet more excellent gift whereby,
being himself schooled by love and
sorrow, he had power to confirm in
the hearts of many their faith in the
things which are not seen-their hope
of immortality; in praise of God, the
inspirer of prophet and poet, this
window is dedicated by some friends
and neighbors in Haslemere."

the Washington Post Charles Nagel

talking law to him." exclaimed Score

Believed in Accuracy.

A dapper little man was making his
exit from the dining-room of a fashion
able hotel when the head waiter
stepped up to him, took him by the
arm and said: II have tumbled to your
little game, you rascal. This is the
fourth time you've had your dinner
here without paying"
Sir" exclaimed the little man
breaking loose from the walters
grasp, and looking the official sternly
in the face, you are mistaken: it is
the fifteenth"
Before the waiter had recovered
from the shock the man was in the
next street.

TOLD IN MOVING PICTURES
Surgery, Agriculture, MetaIIurEy and
Other Lessons Taught by
Them.

Moving pictures are now, or within the
near future will be, applied to the teach
ing of botany, n\allurgy. biology, the
science Of agriculture, and surgery, and
hus do away with the necessity Of vivi-
section for teaching purposes. This plan
was announced by John Collier, general
secretary for the national board of moving
picture censors. at one of the regular after
service socialistic discussions of the Church
of the Ascension, Tenth street n Fifth
avenue, New York.
In discussing the immediate future for
motion pictures, Mr.. Collier said that the
greatest surprise for the general public
would be the application OF moving pic
lures to educational problems. Films had
now been prepared TO illustrate differ
ent processes taught in botany which It
had never been possible to see before in a
process Of growth. The same was true of
biology. where. by use OF the microscope
and the moving picture machines. the en-
tire history OF cellular life could be thrown
on the screen before the students. 1t was
now possible 10 introduce the moving
picture as an educational appliance to the
study of medicine, which would result in
lessening greatly the amount OF vivisection
praCticed in undergraduate work.
With the present scheme the vivisections
used in all medical colleges would have 10
be performed but nee. Any number OF
films needed could be prepared from the
one set taken, so that a single vivlseetion
for one particular object would Illustrate
that subject for all the medical schools
This would greatly decrease the number OF
animals killed, while II would entirely do
away with the danger OF a vivisection be-
ing made by an unsxilled person.
