these. the horse still has a stout follow
ing that shows no signs OF wavering
loyalty.
There are now about 100000 horses in
this country. farm and city, able-bodied
and possessing a genuine value. Horse
breeding is more profitable than it has
ever been. II is expected that the next
ten years will see this number increased
TO 5000. OOo-perhaps to 50.OOO,0O0 It is
easy enough TO be seen that the auto

business soon-and several more than
that If IT expects to get ahead.
The horse we shall have with us al
ways. He is a noble animal. and he
richly deserves all the love and affection
humanity has ever lavished upon him
1t is comforting and gratifying TO know
that he still is so abundantIy in evidence
and so splendidiy thriving.

Paging Zachary TAYLOR.

From the New York sun
browsing in a hotel lobby on a hot
afternoon were some fifty men in differ
ent stages Of somnolence. Presently a
bellboy passed shouting; Zachary Taylor,
Is Zachary Taylor here?'
The name made everybody sit up.
Zachary Taylor?" said a smooth-faced
youth. That name sounds familiar"
Familiar" snorted the graybeard be-
side him. Good lord.
Then Zachary Taylor appeared. He was
dapper little fellow known to nobody
except a personal friend who had wanted
him PACED. yet for once in his life he
attracted as much attention as royalty.
Scenes like that are common in hotel
lobbies,' said the clerk Nearly every
day some name once famous is PACED in
New York hotels. OF course the boy is
not trying TO call from the grave the
original possessor Of the great name. but
the ioungers in the lobby show almost as
much interest as If he were Usually the
appearance OF the present owner OF the
famous name is disappointing. Not once
In hundred is he any relation to his
great predecessor. and even If he Is rarely
does he come up TO expectations

Militia Workmanship.

The announcement Of craftsmanship in
the District of Columbia militia has been
gratifyingly manifested by the Comptrol-
Ter Of the Treasury Department in set
ting aside a decision Of the Auditor for
the War Department, who disallowed the
sum Of about $500 paid in cash prizes 10
members Of the militia participating IN
rife and revolver matches last year. The
Comptroller holds that the allotment by
the government for the promotion OF
rife practice is subject largely to such
uses as the governors Of States and Ter
ritories and the commanding general OF
the District Of Columbia National Guard
may see at, provided it is used for the
general purpose indicated. Gen. Earries
certified that the Offering OF the cash
prizes was a contribution to efficiency
and excellence in revolver and rife shoot
ing among the, officers and men of the To-
cal militia. He had approved the expendi-
ture Of the money. and the Auditor had.
for some reason, disaIowed the transac-
ton as being outside Of the purpose of
the law The Comptroller comes to the
aid Of the District Of Columbia militia
with a decision which permits the amount
to be charged against its allotment.
There is nothing more important than
this promotion OF craftsmanship, especial
ly on the part Of the militia, the members
Of which must furnish the great volun-
teer army which will be the ally of the
regular force in time of war. There is
nothing which does more to awaken in
terest in shooting, and nothing which is
Of greater advantage in accuracy with
small arms, than competition for some
sort of prize, monetary or emblematic
There is a distinction in winning
prizes which stimulates individual ef-
fort and makes for achievement The
District OF Columbia militiamen who
give up their time to perfecting them
selves in the accuracy Of small-arms FIR
ing would have a right to entertain
grievance II the Comptroller had decided
that they cannot come in for cash
prizes out of the annual allotment for
the support OF the organization.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Gowrie Plot-Aueust 5.

For a long period August 5 was OBJ
served as a holiday in England. for il
was on that date. in 1900, that James VI
Of Scotland and OF England. then King
of Scotland only, narrowly escaped death
at the hands Of two Of 1ss countrymen,
the Earl Of Gowvie and his brother. Alex
ander Ruthven
On the morning Of the 5th Of August, as
James was starting on a hunting trip
from Falkland Palace. he met Alexander
Ruthven, the younger brother of the Earl
OF Gowrie. who told him. with a great
air Of mystery. that he had discovered a
man burying pot OF money on a field.
and that he thought the affair so suspi-
cious that he had taken him prisoner. and
begged the King to come to Gowrie
House in Perth to see him.
James went, taking with MIN Mar. Len
nox. and about twenty other gentlemen.
After dinner. Alexander took the King
aside and when his attendants missed
him they were told that he had gone
back TO Falkland
The story runs that when the King and
Alexander withdrew the latter conducted
his majesty through bewildering maze
Of rooms. the doors OF all of which the
boy locked behind him, until they had
reached a small turret closet connected
with An upper room at the end OF the
house where James found awaiting him.

armed servant Of the earl.
Ruthven clapped hat on head, snatched
a dagger from the servant. and. abiding
to the execution of his father for a SINH
lar treason sixteen years before, shouted:
"Sir, We maun be my prisoner! Remem-
Der my fathers deidl"
James was scared. He protested that
he was a minor at the time referred to.
that he had restored the family estates.
and that he could not imagineswhat Ruth
ven wanted. The lad replied that he
would teach his brother to tell that He
enjoined the King TO quIetness during his
absence, but as soon as he was gone
James managed to induce the servant TO

just as the second window was being
raised, Ruthven returned, and. CRYING out.

From Puck
There is not much novelty in the

Presidents. but the political speeches

coming remarks he will say something.

Republican party. will talk to two parties

American Citizenship.

II Is evident that even after ali these
years Of immigration there is stu a lot
Of haziness in regard to the question as
to what nationalities are entitled under
our Constitution to the privileges OF
American citizenship. At one time il
was thought that free white persons"
excluded all Asiarcs, but exception was
made early in the case Of aliens COM
ing from Asia Minor. ArInenians have
been adopted and so have Syrians. and il
is hard TO determine just where the line Is
to be drawn. The Monaghan races we have
steadily declined 10 allow the privileges
Of citizenship, and in this respect we
have classed the japanese with the Chi
nese, although the japanese are inclined
10 deny their Monaghan origin. The Ma
lays, Siamese. Manchus, and Koreans we
have also denied. Yet we do admit some
races Of Monaghan origin. such as the
Magyars OF Hungary. the Firms. and
the Turks; and again we see that there
is no hard and fast line.
The whole question has recently come
up for discussion again on the admission
of a Psrsee. a native of India. He is a
merchant in New York City. and has been
trying TO gain admission for several years.
and the New York Circuit Court of APP
peals has just decided that he is eligible.
And yet the Parsees are not further
removed from the Mongols than the other
Aryan races that inhabit India. and some
day. We suppose. this question will have
TO he thrashed out. for it is unthinkable
that we should ever consent to admit the
horde OF Hindus to American citizenship.

are they fitted.
The question OF race is a difficult one to
solve. and 1t might be a good thing II. in
stead Of it, there were substituted a test
Of fitness and intelligence. At least that
would be more reasonable than the pres
ent test, which is. apparently, none at all.

ANTI-HANDSHAKING SOCIETY.
Inhabitants OF French Capital Con-

Inhabitants OF French Capital Con-
tempIating Such an Organization.
From London LAdy's Pictorial
In Paris they have been seriously dis
eussing the advisabllIty OF forming an
and-handshaking society. Its members.
so It is suggested. should only be pledged
to avoid this form Of salutation during
the summer months But when once II Is
started it is believed. and sincerely hoped.
that the practice Of grasping all and
sundry by the hand viii be permanently
discouraged.
There is a good deal to be said on both
sides. To have a hot and moist hand
clasp ones own on a day when one IS
already suffering all that seems possible
from the heat is distinctly trying, 10 say
the least Furthermore there are many
people whose handshake leaves one with
a feeling Of having touched a fish or
something creepy-crawly. One looks for
ward 10 their clasp II IL can so be de-
scribed. with a positive sense Of horror,
and II is almost with difficulty that one
refrains from covertly wiping the hand
after the operation.
1t would be a great relief to be able 70
avow oneself a member OF the suggested
society. and TO adopt the salute, which it
IS proposed should take the form OF a
graceful wave Of the hand in the direc-
ton OF the person introduced or ad-
dressed. But there is this other view OF
the matter 20 take into consideration.

we never experienced the magnetism
that can undoubtedly be felt when one

lutte in this fashion unless we so desire.

The Next Minister to Nicaragua

As the revolution in Nicaragua is draw
ing to a close. with the prospect OF the
early departure of DR.. Madriz with his
followers for Mexico, it will soon become
the task Of the Department OF state to
select diplomat for the Managua mis-
sion This will prove TO be a most i'm
portant post. and It behooves the depart
ment TO choose a man who has the ability
to gain the confidence and the respect Of
both parties to. the struggle which will
soon be a thing OF the past.
The eyes Of all Latin America will be
turned on the resumption Of diplomatic
relations between the United States and
the new regime in Nicaragua, and II is
sincerely 10 be hoped that no unpleasant
incident will serve to diminish the happy
result which ought to be derived from
the event
Our diplomatic relations with the Latin
American republics have not always
been happy. Some of the men we have
sent down there have been failures and
have had TO be recalled. Some have as
sumed airs BETTING European ambassa-
doris. while others have attempted the
bullying attitude that is sometimes as
sumed toward inferior nations. Some of
them have even declined TO transmit their
advices from the United States through
the foreign minister Of the country to
which they were accredited. but have
insisted on presenting them direct to the
President. This has not strengthened our
diplomatic service or made for better
feeling.
To great extent the future Of Nicara-
qua, as well as the good will which Latin
America should have for the United
States. depends upon the influence exer-
cised by our next representative in Mica
ragua. 1t is sincerely TO be hoped that
the wise discernment Of Secretary OF state
Knox will enable him 10 hit upon the
right man.

His Equine Majesty.

Erstwhile prophets Of a so-called horse
less age" as well as pTesent-day be-
levers in the decadence Of his equine
majesty's earthly glory. will have to
revise their figures and retire their prog
nostications. The horse is here to stay.
There are more horses now than ever be-
fore. and they are more valuable.
We have the Live Stock Journals word
for 1t that there are between six and
seven million more horses to-day than
there were a decade ago; that their total
valuation is approximately $500. 600 600.
and that current prices for good draft
horses range all the way from $500 to $500.
The popular impression is that the au-
tomoblle has tended greatly to the be-
lifting OF the horses status in this coun-
try While on the surface OF things.
this may appear to be so. it is not, by
any manner Of means. The automobile
Industry is hourishing-as all must wish
il to-but il is relatively small potatoes.
nevertheless, when compared with the
horse business. It is estimated that the
entire automobile output Of the world for
1910 Will be 225,OOO cars. the total value

than S25oO00.ooo. From these astonishing
figures it may readily be seen how far
the horse industry still runs ahead Of the
automobile industry in this land OF the
free and home Of the brave.
The reason for all OF this is not so far
to seek as some may think. This country
hes prospered tremendously within the
past ten years. Farming is going on more
extensively than ever before; railroad
construction pushes persistently ahead
The demand for horses in these two lines
alone has been unprecedented. Moreover.
Europe Is ever calling more and more
strenuousIy for American horses for use
in its fields of industrial endeavor. The
automobile has. admittedly. interfered
somewhat with the livery business Of the

Book REVIEW
CIVIL WAR HISTORY.

John Formby, an English author. wrote
this book because he found, after ten
years study Of the American civil war.
that no volume of convenient size dealt
with the war by land and sea as a whole,
and no work existed in which contem-
poraneous events were sufficiently kept
together. Furthermore, there was no
series Of maps OF standard size on stand
ardized scales. To remedy this condition.
Mr.. Formby has written this book and
prepared a most desirable series Of maps.
Most histories OF the American civil
war are full of military technicalities
and personal details. Mr.. Formby has
attempted to write a history OF the war
as whole, and he has done his work
we'll Naturally he has given considerable
attention to the diplomatic policies Of the
United States and Confederate govern
ments, and has devoted considerable atten-
ton to phase which has generally been
neglected by our historians. the distract

story Of the great conflict into $40 pages,
