4 Horses Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that horse's hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- mals hay ing toes. The horn of hoof grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses thar in those wearing shoes. and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and we'll fed. But on an average the horn grows about $ third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hocf being the longest part, II takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel For ill stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to i've months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects ill the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress If a bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

PLATFORM FOR 1872
OUTLINED BY FOLK
Associated Pressl

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-Missouri Demo-
Gratis of all factions at dinner here
tonight heard former Governor J. w.
Folk announce the principles on which,
it is said, he will seek the presidential
nomination in 1912.
The dinner was in charge of men
who have been promoting the boom of
the former governor
1.-THE doctrine of equal rights should
be made living, vital and controlling
force in the government" said Mr..
Folk, after he had listened to Demo-
Gratis from all parts of the state tell
the guests that the former governor is
the man they should indorse for the
presidency.
"The Democratic party should insist
upon the stamping out of graft and
corruption from every department of
government; the eradication of all spe-
cial favors, including bounties, sub
sides and q tariff for any purpose
other than revenue.
I'VE need the honest, sincere en-
forcement of laws we already have and
the regulation Of rates of public utility
corporations upon a reasonable basis
that justice may be done the people,
and a fair return for the amount ac-
tually invested be afforded"
Other principles named by the
speaker were the preservation of the
rights of states to self government;
the restriction of American territory
to the western hemisphere as a neces-
sary corollary Of the Monroe doctrine;
the extension of American trade by re-
moving the restriction on commerce.; a
just income tax; the election of United
States senators by direct vote and un-
relenting opposition to the domination
in public affairs of special interests.

PONY FALLS AND
INJURIES BELMONT
Reported to Have Broken Wrist
and Sustained Cash in Scalp
During Polo Game

NEW YORK, June August Bel
mont was thrown from his horse this
afternoon while playing polo at the
Meadowbrook Hunt club. There were
rumors that he had been seriously in
jured, but at his house it was said
tonight he had only been severely
shaken up and would be about as
usual in a day or so.
At the Meadowbrook club 1t was said
he had broken a wrist.
While Belmont was following the
ball he made a forward stroke with
his mallet which entangled itself with
his horses fore foot. The animal was
in full gallop and In tripping turned
a complete somersault. Fortunately
Belmont was thrown clear of the horse,
as it rolled over several times.
Mrs. Belmont, who was Eleanor
Robson, and is bride of few
months, was notified Immediately by
telephone and hurried out to the club.
She brought her husband back with
her to the town house.
At Hampstead, l.. l., where Belmont
has his country place, it was said that
his injuries were more serious than
the family were willing to admit in
New York The village reports were
that Belmont suffered broken rib,
that his scalp was torn and that his
face was bruised and lacerated More
over, it was denied that he was
thrown clear of his pony.
On the contrary 1t was said the pony
fell on him so heavily that he lay
breathless on the ground and that 1t
was necessary to resort to artificial
respiration to bring him back to con-
sciousness.
AS his automobile went through
Hampstead it ran slowly as if it were
carrying a man who needed careful
driving.

YOUNG GUGGENHEIM IS
FINED $1,000; IMPRISONED
Court Gives Him Wedding Pres
ent for 0verspeeding

NEW YORK, June 2.-For wedding
present to young Edmund A. Guggen-
helm, a nephew of Senator simon Gug-
genheim OF Colorado, the court of gen
eral sessions gave fine of $1,000 and
a sentence of one day in Jail.
Through his counsel, young Guggen-
helm had pleaded guilty to third vio-
lation of the automobile speed limit.
1t was urged that he is to be married
next Monday and that prison SEN
tence would be an unnecessary humil-
iation to his bride-to-be and to his
family. The court turned a deaf ear
The young milllonalre's lmprlson-
ment, however, proved nothing unbear-
able. Sentence was pronounced at
3:15 o'clock p. m. Ten minutes later
the prisoner had crossed the Bridge of
Signs to the Tombs; at A o'clock p. m.
the legal day ends. His total period of
incarceration therefore was just thirty
five minutes.
BY courtesy nf the warden he was al
lowed to spend the time in the coun-
sells room.

TAFT LOSES COAT
At BRYN MAWR
Case with Cap and Gown Found
After His Commencement
Day Address

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Presi-
dent Taft today delivered the annual
commencement day Oration at Bryn
Mawr college, where his daughter
Helen is a student.
Taking for his subject Higher Ed
ucation for Women" the president said
that college education certainly does
not detract from the power of a woman
to make a good companion, or to train
or teach children, while at the same
time it makes her independent, and If
she never meets the man who can
make her happy, as husband she can
become an Independent and useful
member of society"
President Taft reached here shortly
before II o'clock. After his arrival his
suitcase containing his cap and gown
was mislaid and he was obliged to de-
liver his address wearing his travelling
suit.
He left at o'clock for Ada. o., where
tomorrow morning he will address the
graduating class of the Ohio Northern
university.
The missing suitcase was discovered
shortly before the presidents depar-
ture, but after boarding the train he
found that he had forgotten his over
coat. Secret service men made hur-
ried search for the missing coat but
were unable to recover it before the
departure of the train.
At the commencement exercises Miss
M. Carey Thomas, president of the
college, announced that the fund of
$318,000 required to be raised by to-
day in order to secure $350,000 promised
by the general education board had
been secured-in fact, had been over
subscribed by $4,000, while further
pledges of $1,000 had been made by
telegraph and telephone in case they
