German Pastor In New Book Says
That Americans Care More for
Religion Than for Wealth.

Berlin-Pastor Bluth's new book on
America, which is just from the press
And is receiving much attention from
viewers, contrasts favorably with
me common run of books by foreign
ers on the same subject 1t shows
more intelligent acquaintances with
American life than the majority OF
enropean writer's have taken time to
cultiyate. Mr.. Bluth learned of the
.+bings of which he writes by living
Tor several years in America
aThe notion that the American is
cold calculator. with no sentiment
higher than lust for money, is utterly
haseless," he writes. AT bottom the

aiasiastical tendencies much stronger

George w. Goodacre, a prominent
figure on the Potomac Speedway. has
introduced into the District of Colum-
bia n new Industry.
Mr.. Goodacre proposes to devote
much OF his time in the future to the
breeding of Shetland ponies, and has
recently imported 12 head of beauti
full animals which he has located on
his estate in the vicinity of Bright
wood. Since their arrival these pom
ies have excited much admiration on
account of their gentleness and intelli-
gence.
With one or two exceptions. the
ponies are OF the tiny kind, as the
illustration shows; in fact, they are
SO small that the major portion of
them could pass between the legs OF
a man Of average size without the ruff
fie of hair. The lord of the harem
is perfectly made tiny specimen of
the Shetland tribe called Billie, black
in color and he can do almost any
thing he is called upon to do except
talk and pay taxes.
The cutest In the band is n tiny
symposium OF horsefiesh called DIR.
Chase Jr., so named because he re-
sembles the Doctor in color, being u
golden sorrel. and again because his
markings are similar to those worn
by the great Speedway trotter. All OF
the ponies except two are of the pop
ular color, being either white and
black or bay and white
The fashion in ponies runs strongly
toward the extremely small ones.
They bring fabulous prices when Of
right size and color in all large cities
in this country. not only on account
of their oddity, but because the size
desired is hard to produce. The prim.
tive home of the Shetland is in the
islands which lie of the extreme
northern coast OF Scotland Bleak
and desolate are these islands, even
In the midst of summer The grass is
sparse and not over-nutrltious. II is
in winter however, that the sagacity
and endurance Of the Shetland Is put
to the test He is compelled to dig
through the snow for the forage he
gets. or, maybe, II the snow is too
deep for him TO reach the ground. he
lives on twigs and seaweed.
In the case of the Shetland pony. It
is truly survival Of the fittest. The
The Elbert County tribune., 1910-12-23

ponies are kept by their breeders In
droves, and, when in the spring they
wander to the waters edge to get a
taste of seaweed to supplement their
rations, scores of them perish as the
treacherous tides frequently catch
them unawares and the weakest are
carried out into the ocean.
The oft-asked question: From
whence did the Shetlands come? has
been answered in different ways. The
commonly accepted explanation is
that they were taken to the islands
from the mainland many centuries
ago: that they were originally n
horse. instead of pony, and that the
hardships they have been compelled
to endure have diminished their size.
This belief is fortified by the fact
that when the Shetland is generously
fed he increases in size and bulk.
and this fact also has brought dlsas-
ter to a number of breeders In this
country.
Whatever fashion demands, breed.
ers must supply or go out of business
A pony that is not much taller than
great Dane will bring 500 more in
the market than one that measures
six inches higher. Rich fathers and
rich mothers seek the tiny ones for
their children. and they do not stand
on the matter of price when they
find what they are seeking. The
Shetland is the most docile OF the
equine tribe. and. seemingly. the most
sagaclous. Doubtless. his environ
ments have sharpened his instincts
to remarkable degree. In blood he
is the plebelan OF the plebeians, as we
moderns count horsefiesh, for his
breeding is only one degree higher
than that of the OK or the ass; that
is. the true Shetland.
The most remarkable breed OF pony
known is the Canadian French pony
his ancestors having been brought
over from France by the French colo
nists. He evidently has good blood
in his veins, and may have descended
from the Spanish palfrey, as he PAGES
and trots, is a horse of high spirit
and of considerable speed. The noted
Hal family, The Pilot Jr. family, the
Copperbottoms, and some of the 9TH
er pacing families in the United
States sprang from the loins OF
french-Canadian ponies.

Mar, is the Oldest Student

activity sufficiently to engage actively
in the teaching of this difficult subject,
requiring the deepest study and the
most clear-headed reasoning, is nearly
as marvellous as the fact that Rev. Mr..
Higgins at ninety-three Is still suf-
ficiently active mentally and ambitious
physically to grapple with subject
that is almost entirely new to him.
such has been the change in the sys-
tens and textbooks since he first en-
gagged in Its mysteries nearly three
quarters of century ago.
Rev. Mr.. Higgins was born in Maine
In 1917. His early education was re.
ceiyed in that state, but Wesleyan col
lege was his alma mater.
Prof Wilbur Fisk was then presi-
dent of Wesleyan. and Rev. Mr.. Hig-
gins recalls many incidents connected
with that noted teacher and scholar.
The aged student attends the class
of Professor Hoose every Monday, and
is busy nearly all the week with the
pages OF Rudolph Eucken, the solon of
Jena university.
Both teacher and student are excep-
tionally bright and vigorous for their
years. and the only defect that Rev.
Mr.. Higgins suffers from is slight
deafness. He is too busy to speculate
on his probable span of life, and is
anxious to fill the remaining years
with the bright light and consolation
that the study of pure reason and
philosophy only can give.

Report From Revenue Cutter of

Government Reservations, Access

Seattle, Wash-Because of the

Pribylof islands by Japanese. these
islands may be declared government
reservations, accessible only to fed
eral officials, as the only method of
preventing the Japanese from secur
ing supplies for their sealing fleets.
which this season got away with 5000
sealskins, valued at $40 each. This
plan is the outcome of investigation
by the cutter seal patrol service
maintained the last season, in which
40 Japanese were arrested on the
charge of poaching.
Officers of the cutter Manning.
which reached this port from the seal
ing grounds. declared that the slaugh-
ter of the seal herds goes on un-
abated, and that the diminution- which
even among hundreds of animals has
become rerceptible, spells positive ex-
termination within few years.
The hand OF the alien fisherman
strikes at the root of the industry.
tor it kills the helpless female while
yshe swims far beyond the three-mile
limits for food for the family. That

up for air. the female seal makes

curiosity. and receives her death
wound. Her pup on shore starves to
death, for no other seal mother will
Nurture it. Thus two animals perish
when one is killed.
No American vessel under the pres
ent treaty can fish within sixty miles
of the islands. while the Japanese are

damage to the herds.
