By CAPT. A. II. WADDELL)
If we are good judges of human ma
ture, or able to Judge others by their
biographers, we should feel very much
inclined to lay $40 bill to 10c piece
that the willy Richard" who once
made himself hoarse shouting "a
Horse, Horse, my Kingdom for a
Horse" wanted good one.
Richard had just killed five Rich
monds. or thought he had, and was
looking for another when his horse
was killed under him, and when he
uttered his memorable words. Yes,
he wanted horse and he wanted one
badly enough, but, he wanted a good
one.
good horse was what he wanted,
good horses are what we all want, and
1t is only the large breeder who can
really tell us, how many bad horses
he breeds, for one good one that he
sells. This is in large measure due
to haphazard methods in breeding;
breeders are not careful enough in
the selection of their parent stock, nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the peculiarities and characteristics of
the families. from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed, and in the
thoroughbred in this country, nothing
but this element has been considered;
the result is too well known to be re-
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no.
body seems to try to remedy the de-
iects that this near sightedness has
produced. There is not one trotting
horse in thousand whose anatomical
formation, physical and constitutional
soundness, will permit him to become
2:10 trotter, nor is there one race
horse In the same number that can
gallop a mile in first class company
with any chance of winning, for the
same reason.
Breeders no not give sufficient care
to individuality, size, bone, substance,
and soundness; they never think OF
temper or temperament and only con-
slider speed, which, although inherited
on both sides is useless in a weakling.
Stamps and types of horses and
ponies have been bred which are we'll
exemplified in the Shire, Clydesdale
Suffolk, Percheron, Belgium and Hack
ney. Why cannot this obtain in some
measure at least in the trotter and
thoroughbred in America? 1t does in
other countries and why should it not

VERSATILITY IN THE ARMY.

Is there anything that cannot be
lone by officers of the United States
army? And done exceptionally well!
There is nothing. For example, take
Colonel Goethals and watch him con-
Vtruct the Panama Canal with ease
and grace after various civilians had
tried their hands at the job without
achieving any glittering success. Then
take the five bachelor lieutenants at
Fort Scriven, Georgia, who gave a
ehafing-dish party, the particulars OF
which We find in the Army and Navy
Journal It was a surprise party. 1t
was given In the Bachelors Club. The
service publication which makes
Enown the achievements Of these
heroes Justly remarks that "a great
deal OF praise is due the bachelors Tor
having given such an elaborate party
without the assistance OF the ladies

For example: THE dining-room ,and

were lavishly decorated with carna-
tons and ferns. The beautiful pale
pink flowers were massed in profusion
on the mantel and library table in the
den. In the dining-room a large vase,
filed with the same gorgeous flowers
adorned the table AS souvenir OF
the occasion a large bouquet, tied
with pink tulle, was presented to each
OF the young ladies present A de-
hghtful Welsh rabbit was served with
dainty sandwiches. and mild punch
was served during the evening" Is
It not plain that these bachelors are
artists and poets as well as warriors?
What bachelor outside the service
could tie bow of pink tulle around
a bouquet? Doubtless, also, any one
of the FIVE, like Cyrano, could compose
a ballade while preparing to transfix

SUMMER WORK
FOR CHICKENS
Where There Is Not Perfectly Com
Portable Poultry House on
Farm One Should be Pro-
Vided This Summer.
(By MILLER PUvIs)

If there is not a perfectly Comfort
able poultry house on tho farm, one
should be planned and provided this
summer, at least before cold weather
sets in, for 1t is poor planning to put
off providing a warm poultry house
until the time arrives for its use. A
comfortable poultry house need not be
a costly one nor a particularly warm
one. Every poultry house should have
two rooms with a tight partition be-
tween them. If it is build in this way.
the flock may be crowded into one
room when very cold weather comes,
and the heat of their bodies will keep
the room warm. A hen does not feel
the cold as quickly as man does, for
her blood is five per cent. warmer nat
urally, and If she can sleep where
there is no draft blowing on her she
will be very comfortable in a room in
which the temperature runs as low as
10 to ~ degrees below tho freezing
point.

Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor

when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with
sense of the humorous, with the fac

the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh at?-

TOWN PLANNING A NEW ART
Interest Of American Public Has Been
Aroused and Civic Improvement
Is Progressing.

Town planning is a comparatively
hew branch of learning. There are In.
dications that in America it will be re-
ceived with special enthusiasm, due in
part, perhaps, to our native predilec-
ton for tearing things to pieces and
doing them over again. To regard
the beautiful art of making cities in
anything but serious spirit would
be, however, childish to an inconceiv-
able degree, and now that the inter-
est of the public is aroused, 1t be-
hooves us to consider carefully the
paths in which it is to be directed
That 1t is aroused may be taken for
granted. About a hundred cities re-

Philadelphia within the past fortnight

ference on this subject ever held in

appropriate moment for calling atten.
ton to the thorough. methods of the
School of Civic Design established
year or more ago in connection with
the University Of Liverpool and de-
scribed in the current number of Land
scape Architecture, the official organ
Of the American Society of Landscape
Architects. q
The director of the school realized
from the start that properly to under
stand the architectural aspect of town
planning, it is necessary first to I'M
derstand the underlying principles Of
city organization. He placed social
civics, therefore, at the beginning OF
the subjects treated in the series OF
lecture courses, and the twenty lee
lures devoted to this aspect of the
general problem deal with the intel
lectual, administrative, residential, and
recreative needs of the town. The
other subjects are landscape design
In reference to parks and gardens, the
public health acts, engineering. and
aesthetics, which gives the public
the results of its research, and has

lar lectures for the benefit of the lay
man.
1t is obvious that a school of this
character, under intelligent direction,
could do much to further organized

tant part in educating the critical ia
