TOO CONSPICUOUS IN COLOR
Grey Horses in It's Cavalry Regiments.

The gray charger, long an inspire tion for the poets of chivalry, is now passe. So say the high officials of the war departnl "nt who look after the purchase of horses for the United States cavalry.
 He may be just as vigorous, intelli- gent and faithful as his brothers oi another color, but he's too conspicu. ous, they tell us, too apt to get his $200 hide filled with lead. So he has to go. Horsemen of the National stock yards can no longer sell grays to the government, which they main, tain is bad business all round.
 Uncle Sam formerly owned $240000 worth of horses of thi~ color. One troop in every regiment was known as the Gray Troop" But on inves. tigation the department decided that so much money in living targets was 4 bad investment, for in these days of high-power rifles the gray troop would be shining mark for the ip. fantry of the enemy before the bays and blacks and browns and sorrels could get close enough to be distin. guished from the scenery.

Home Moving Pictures.

In being adapted for the home nov. ing pictures have entered a new and very promising stage. A simple ap- paratus recently patented is described as only three feet long by one foot deep. It is provided with a ground glass at one end, on which a picture SX10 inches in size can be thrown, but if larger view is required, the ground glass can be removed, when the image will be projected upon a white sheet or other surface provided, and will be enlarged more or less according to the distance from the machine of this new screen. Any convenient light, such as an acetylene bicycle lamp-will serve for an illu imitation. It is expected that the ap paratus will be made in a variety of styles, from a cost of a dollar or two to quite expensive outfits, and the spools of film, lasting two to three minutes, are to be furnished at prices comparable to those of phonograph records. Freedom from risk of fire is claimed, as the film is heated much less than by the powerful lights nee essary for the larger machines.

LITTLE WILLIE's BRIGHT IDEA
He Caught Santa, All Right, But Prob ably Santa Had His Innings
 AfterWard.

A. B. Walkley, the dramatic critic of the London Times, refused, at din ner at the Union club, to criticise adversely the New theater of New York.
 ITO criticise you adversely, at mo- ment when you are giving feast in my honor, would surely be impolitic on my part" MT. Walkley said. 'I should be putting my foot in it, like he Santa Claus of Chelsea.
 "A Chelsea artist-you know all London artists live in Chelsea-rose in the middle of the night on Christ mas eve, and, in pajamas and bare feet, proceeded to the coal black room of his little sons. He had in his arms toys, sweets and picture books, and his wife with a glad heart watched him depart.
 But minute after he entered the boys room he muttered a terrible cry.
 John, John, what's the matter?' cried his wife
 "'Oh.' he groaned I've caught my foot in a rat trap. A nice place. he added, responsibility, for rat trap, l must say!'
 There, if didn't forget!' the was going to set it to catch Santa!'
