Ethics of Horse Trading.

as word painters are TO be believed
they have excelled their patron saint

peared at the circuit attorneys Of
flee in large numbers to tell their
troubles and seek revenge. Incl
dentally they, no doubt, would be
glad to learn the process by which a
dilapidated, heave-racked and flesh
less Dobbin can be transformed into
a charging, sleek and graceful
thoroughbred for week, but no
longer The last description fits the
horses for which the victims have
been paying good money, The first
describes the horses they really pos
sess. The impression has gained
currency that these sleek and round
ed steeds have been inflated by hypo-
dermic injections of ozone blown
through the reverse nozzle of a vac
uum cleaner, and that the rotundity
gradually oozes out through the
puncture. OF course, the victims do
not regard the process as valuable,
because none of them would stoop
to employ it in an effort to recoup
his loss. They are only curious and
inquisitive. And yet. But why is
it that everybody laughs when the
other fellow finds himself beaten at
horse trade? A mans neighbors
will rise up in righteous wrath when
he Is defrauded by a sharper who
deals in any other commodity. But
all ordinary standards are forgotten
when 1t comes to swapping horses.
There the doctrine of caveat emptor
applies most rigidly. Let the pur-
chaser beware. BY common consent
the worst crime committed by those
engaged in crooked" horse trade
is that committed by the one who
complains that he has been beaten.

People have found out that 1t pays to

philosophers says that il takes 200
years to civilize man, and this is
undoubtedly true, as the polteness
and general character of the people
OF a country indicate a long process
OF civilization. There are certain
things that must be done to establish
the character Of men and this is cul-
ture. For this reason your boy must
be given every advantage in this re-
gard and so YOU must start early.
