Prize Winners.

inv "
Buckman Bros. are the owners of
two great horses Bob Mcdonald +
and Jack Mcdonald. They were
well bred horses of great individual
merit and wherever shown are
greatly admired and win prizes.
Both won prizes at the Kansas City
Horse Show last week The follow
ing is from the Kansas City Post:
In class 20 for saddle horses with
five gaits there were eight entries.
All except one were the very high
est class. The one exception has
appeared before in the ring and has
succeeded only in getting in every
ones way. He would have been
turned out of any serious show ring
Immediately after he had entered.
He had no right in the ring, for not
only was the rider hopelessly in
competent, but also afraid to let his
horse out. He gave no exhibition
at all except of poor quality riding.
1t is really surprising that anyone
can undertake to make such an eX-
hibition in public.
The judges had the most difficult
task of the evening in deciding in
this class. There were only two
horses in the ring for first place
last night and they were Bob Nc
Donald" and Gingerbread Man"
Exactly which of these two is best
is hard to say. The judges gave
their decision to Gingerbread Man"
and this | think they were right on
the form shown last night. | am
of the opinion, though, that Bob
Mcdonald" is the better horse if in
proper form. He did not seem to
be let out at all last night. His
action is better in every way and
he broke less than the other. Any
way the crowd showed that their
money was with Gingerbread Man"
and the ovation he received on
winning the coveted blue was Il
proof positive that in the opinion
of the masses the judges had not
erred. | like Bob Mcdonald" at
the walk much better than the
winner. He walks with more spring
and ginger" and is an easier mover.
The second award went to Bob
Mcdonald and this was as popular
as the former decision. The white
ribbon was quite correctly given to
Tom Bass with his excellent bright
bay horse, Chester Peavine." He
was undoubtedly the third best in
the contest and is useful animal
with plenty of speed and action.
More will be heard of him in the
show rings of this country unless |
am very much mistaken.

POSTAL SAVINGS
BILL WILL PASS
ALL EFFORTS TO AMEND ARE
SQUELCHED BY THE
SENATE.
MONEY IN HOME BANKS
INDEMNITY BONDS REQUIRED
FROM POSTAL SAVINGS
REPOSITORIES.

Washington.-Agre to vote on
concur in the House postal savings
bank bill, the Senate adjourned Tues
day after day devoted largely to an
onslaught upon the House measure.
A number of amendments were Of
fered. but the "Old Guard" of the
regulars was on duty, and each as
sault was successfully resisted, the
majority ranging from six to eight
votes.
Word was circulated early in the
session that the President desired the
House bill-and the message undoubt-
edIy had an influence in maintaining
the measure intact.
All amendments were directed to
the section of the House bill relating
TO the deposit and withdrawal of the
postal bank funds by the government.
The general contention was that the
House bill contemplated the with
drawal of the funds from the local
banks for transference to the large
eastern banks and to the national
treasury, while it was urged that the
Senate bill would hold the money at
the home banks except in case of war
or other contingency
The first of the amendments dis
posed of was offered by Senator Ba-
con and provided for the striking out
of the provision authorizing the use
~f ,J hn
chase of bonds. Supporting his own
amendment Mr.. Bacon declared the
provision of the House was the enter
ing wedge in the interest of a great
central bank. He said the financiers
of Wall Street could have written
nothing more to their own liking.
The amendment was voted down by
u majority of six as was the next
amendment, which was offered by Mr..
Cummins and which required that de-
positories should be selected in ac-
cordance with a general rule.
The suggestion that received most
attention provides for a requirement
of indemnity bonds from postal saw
fngs repositories.
Mr.. Bristow declared that the
House provision would preclude the
possibility of country banks becoming
depositaries. as it would require them
to prefer one depositor over others,
which the state laws would not per-
init. Instead of being source Of
strength in the next campaign it
would be cause of weakness to the
Republican party, he said. The vote
against the amendment stood 81 to
81.
A similar fate met an amendment
by Mr.. Cummins. restoring the Senate
provision authorizing the withdrawal
of the deposits from the local banks
only in case of war or other exigency

THE sELF-EDUcATED WOMAN
ner Out Of Earshot Of the
Tea Table.

When all Is said and. done, those of
US who are really educated are self
educated The best that schools and
colleges can do is to teach us to read
and tell us what books to read and
perhaps help a little to form our taste
For those of US who have. however,
missed schools and colleges, who have
been busy and perhaps won our leisure
too late. there is still education near
at hand and cheap.
A half-dozen great books much read,
half-dozen or a dozen good books
constantly returned to and thoroughly
known, will be an education to any
one. It has SO often been said that
the Bible and Shakespeare furnish a
complete education, that it is a truiBm
to repeat it. For devotional books
every one. Protestant no less than
Catholic. should own that wonderful
book, Limitation Of Christ" and Cath.
olic no less than Protestant should
own Theological Germanica." Then,
because devotion is not always at
white heat, "The Sayings Of Epictetus"
and the Thoughts of Marcus Aureli-
us" should be kept for Strengthening
and quiet.
For the poets, after Shakespeare, a
Milton and Dante (preferably in the
little Temple edition, with the italian
and English side by side), a Shelley
and a Keats. and Palgrave's Golden
Treasury"
For amusement, Bunyan's "Pil.
grim's Progress" and Defoe's robin.
son Crusoe." Fielding's Tom JONES' %
Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice, !"
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre" Thack.
eray's Vanity Fair" Dickens David
Copperneld." George Eliot's Mill on
the Floss" and Meredith's "Egoist''
will serve well to give 4 good idea OF
the English novel.
