Mules and Kindness.

I'm the fifteen years that have
been connected with societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals in
this and other cities | never have re-
ceived a complaint alleging cruelty to
a mule said the humane looking man.
THAT immunity of mules from harsh
treatment is an interesting question.
Why are they immune? Does nobody
beat them? Does nobody underfeed
them? If not, why not? Does a mule
show such decided ability for taking
care of himself that his owner is
afraid TO abuse him? Or do men
beat mules and escape punishment be-
cause the persons who witness the
beating think it is only a mule and not
worth bothering about? What is the
explanation of that phase of the mule
question, anyhow ?"-New York Press.

Debt Kills independence,

How many men are today antici-
pating their earnings, pledging their
salaries, and are thus under the me-
cessity OF dragging after them a load
of debts and obligations which Sc
riously affects their action as free and
Independent men.
Nothing lowers a man in self-respect
like placing himself at the mercy Of
tradesmen. Running into debt is not
only slavery of the worst kind. but
it is hard for a man who is in debt to
be truthful, for while he is framing ex-
cuses for postponing payment he is
apt to contrive falsehoods. Many a
man has dated his decline from the
day on which he first borrowed money.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
II is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. D.-F.RS. of London spend the
best parts OF their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, il is certain that their advice II
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found In his ex.
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

Lexington was a direct descendant

Archy, Timoleon, Boston, Lexington.
When sent to the stud his success was
phenomenal and thirty-five years ago,

as Tom Bowling, Kentucky, Preaki-
ness, Harry Bassett, Duke of Magenta,
Kingfisher, Norfolk, Asteroid, Wander

great note, to dominate the American
turf, it seemed this male line must
overshadow all others for generations
to come. Yet it has practically dis

Aside from his subsequent superla-

stud, Lexington's greatest point Of
fame was in having covered four miles
in 7:19A at New Orleans in 1854. 1t
then was an unprecedented combina-

COLLECTION of the greatest Ameri-
