who have watched with unbounded in

to come to Galesburg and visit awhile

Alexander has been termed by sport

dreds of thousands of dollars to the
Philadelphia National League Club.
His record for this season so far
shows twelve games won and two lost
out OF fourteen full games played. This
is record which no twirler in either

the one to two, he put another one

HORSE OF THE COBB DESERT
Animal Discovered by Prjevalsky
Never Has BEEN Famed and May
Be Distinct Species.

1t is more difficult to domesticate
the wild horse than 1t Is to bring 9TH
er species of wild animals under sub
lection.
Some years ago Prjevaisky, Rus.
sian explorer. discovered a distinct
wild horse in the Cobb desert, in the
south of Mongolia A herd of 80 colts
were captured and landed in Europe.
Most of them were sent to Russia, but
a few were shipped to the estate OF
the duke of Bedford, in England.
They were ragged of coat and Of
awkward gait. All efforts to tame
them have failed. They will not sub
NIT to mans rule and are therefore
unserviceable They become badly
frightened when a man approaches
nearer than two or three rods of them,
The Russians claim that by methods
of comparative anatomy and in other
ways they have proved that the Cobb
desert horse Is distinct species Of
the genus horse. Most naturalists
have until now believed that the true
wild horses with an unbroken line OF
wild ancestry were extinct.
1t Is the general opinion that the
domestic horse Of today was mainly
derived from three wild species,
which have been named the steppe.
forest and plateau varieties. The gobi
horse is representative of the steppe
variety. This horse in it's wild state
livec in tho level dfstrict9 and goes
at night to the pasture lands and
drinking places. At break OF day II
returns to the desert. where it rests
until sunset.-New York Herald.
