A PRETTY GOOD HORSE.
Or Else This Tennessee Doctor Is
Nature Faking.

A Tennessee doctor named Barn
um thinks that he has about the
wisest horse that ever carried a rider
and his saddle bags over the country
road.
"Charle never, in the many calls
I daily make, requires no fastening,
writes the doctor in Our Dumb AMI
mails, "but will follow. along, PICK
around until the visit is finished,
and if the next is near, trot around
and wait until it too, is finished.
"Charlie understands, if he can
not speak, the English language.
One instance of many I will give.
lone morning when starting out
on my morning round woman call
ed from a neighboring row OF tene-
ments. Call and see my child when
you come back!' Some two hours
had elapsed before the round was
finished and I had forgotten the re-
quest, but when we reached the
Street corner Charlie baked, took
the bit in his mouth and made run
up the street to the woman's house.
'sHe stopped at the door and wait
ed till the little sufferers wants mad
been attended to and then quietly
followed me home. He had never
been there before, and if he did not
understand what was said, wnat
made him act so?
"Sometimes he is quite helpful IN
Kidding me of the chronic hypo-
chondriac cases, who fancy full re-
cital of all their ills, real and lmagl-
nary to be necessary at every Vlslt,
and that the doctor has nothing TO
do save to hear these wandering
stories. If call at certain places is
usually prolonged and an open door
or window accessible, his head is
sure to pop in and a prolonged
neighing is kept up until / leave.
lone morning he had been quiet
ly following me until noon was ap-
preaching, when by sundry little
nips on my coat sleeve he intlmated
that corn time had come. When
thought my call was over and mao
started to leave, another member OF
the family claimed attention. This
done, new start was made, "nen
another required attention.; Charlle
pulled violently on my sleeve to no
purpose. .,
AFTER this case was pacified
again made a move, when the old
grandmother called to me to walt
till they could send to neighbor's
and bring the baby This was toe
much. Charlie seized me by the coat
collar and pulled me away, striking
out viciously with both heels toward
the tormentors. You could almost
imagine from the expression OF his
face that he was saying, these peo:
ole have had doctoring enough and
want my corn
"Charlie knows every youngstel
and baby in the neighborhood. Put
one on his back, tie up the reins ano
start him off to take the little one
: home and he goes to the right house
stops at the door, stands till relieved
of his burden and then quietly trots
home unless he sees me coming, anc
then he follows me.

NEW ELECTION BOARD
 IN TENNESSEE LEGAL

Nashville. Tenn, June 14.--Chanceiior Allison today rendered his decision in the injunction proceedings of the State board of elections against the new board, appointed under the act of 1909. in favor of the defendants. hold ing that the act of 1909 amending the act or 19O7, Is as whole. constitu- tional.
 He expressed grave doubts as to the validity of the election of the new board by the general assembly under the act of 1909 but held that, If the election was in any manner illegal, the illegality Is offset by the election of the same board by the Secretary of State. comptroller and treasurer. The temporary Injunction asked for is denied
 The case decided this morning has been under consideration by Chancellor Allison since Saturday. June 5, and was taken under advisement after a hard fought contest by eminent legal lights on either side.
 The constitutionality of the act was attacked in many instances, the conten. tion being made that the joint conven- tion which elected the State board was illegal and that the new law was vicious in It's nature and partisan in its pro- visions.
 The law as spread on the statute books was the outcome of bitter fight in the last general assembly between the administration and anti-administra- tton forces. It was the most desperate light of all and realizing its importance to one side or the other when all other means to defeat it failed. thir- teen members of the Senate fled the State to prevent its passage. At the same time they left. the resolution calling for joint convention was re- turned by the Governor with a veto measure. This was not brought off, cially to the notice of the Senate, and on the date set the convention was called and an adjournment was taken from day to day while every effort was made to secure quorum of the Sen- ate.
 Failing in this, the convention was finally held and the election made It was then that the convention was de- clared by the opponents of the act to be unconstitutional and 1t was known that the matter would be settled in the courts.
 The complainants will appeal to the Supreme Court.

Veteran Drivers Make Predictions fos

 Crown Point. Ind. June 14.--As a result of the first official trials over the Crown Point-Loweil course today 1t is predicted by veteran drivers that no new motor records will be estab- lished during the Western vanderbiit.- June IS and 1e.
 Louis Strang. of the Buick Conn pany, after q couple of turns around the twenty-three mile course, said that the ffty-one miles an hour for the light cars on the first day and fifty seven miles for the big cars the next day. would hardly be exceeded. This Is due to the fact that the entrants are strictly stock cars and that owing to the almost continuous rains 1t has been impossible to put the roadbed in first class condition.
 4 light cold rain kept most of tha drivers off the track at the first prac- tice today, between { and 6 a. m. There were but eight cars on the course. The time over the twenty-three miles ran from twenty-four and a half to twen- ty-seven minutes. This course was considered an excellent showing con- sidering 1he rain.

Convicted Banker Wants . New Trial
 and Rail,


 New York, June 1l.-The appeal of Charles W. Morse from his conviction of niisapplication of the funds of the National Bank of North America of which he was an officer, was heard to- day by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
 MT Morse asks for a new trial and that he be admitted to bail pending a second hearing In the case. Morse was not in court, but Mrs. Morse and Ben jamin Morse, the ex-banker's son. were present and listened to the argument of Martin W. Littleton, as Morse's counsel. The government was repre- sented by Henry L. Stimson. formerly United SrasaS District Attorney during whose term of ofics Morse was con- Yicted.
 MT. Littleton declared that Morse was wrongfully indicted and convicted in defiance of his rights as a citizen. Discussing the loan of S114,000 made John F. Carroll by the National Bank of North America. Mir. Littleton said the government had never shown the real value of 1000 shares of stock of the American Ice Company, which was given as security by Mir. Carroll
