Martha's Mother
Plans Surprise
Picnic

d Martha Downs had been quite III,
and the Fourth OF July found her just
convalescent, but not able to go out.
The doctor had visited her on the third
OF the month and said 1t would not do
for her to attend the big celebration
to be held in grove three miles dis
tant on the morrow. This made Martha
very sad, for she always looked for
ward to day in the woods on the
Fourth.
''She may have any entertainment
at home that she will enjoy" the doc
tor had said, "But she must not go
from home. The exertion Of the trip,
and the excitement Of the day would
cause her to suffer relapse"
So Martha's dear mother was
obliged to follow the doctors instruc-
lions. The Downses lived on fine
farm, many miles from town, and 1t
was the custom of the farmers In that
district to hold their annual Fourth of
July picnic in the grove alluded to
above. And it was with great antici-
pations that the children and the
young folks looked forward to the

1.-THE HORSE"

The horse is q very intelligent AMI
NAL If it is taken when young and
carefully trained it can be made to be
both valuable and useful. In cold
climates they are small and rough
haired. In warmer climates they are
larger and have smooth hair.
Heavy horses are used for draytne
and slender horses are used mostly
for driving and racing.
Wild horses are found mostly In the
plains Of central Asia, and some In
rough and billy places of north Africa.
The wild horses of South America
are called the mustang, and they are
usually Of bay brown color.
The Shetland pony Is the smallest
breed of horses there Is and 1t Is
very strong for it's size. The smaller
1t Is the more It Is priced. Some
are not very much larger than large
dog. Children love them for driving
ponies, because they are usually gentle
ponies are found in parts Of Britain
and most other countries.
The Clydesdale Is one of the breed
that are mostly used for farm work.

Roger at the Trough

We are Jogging homeward. Roger,
In the dusk, the dusk of day;
While the thrushes In the hedges
Make music all the way.
We are on the steady upgrade
Where the single pine-tree shows
W:4. !, star among it's branches,
with star that glows and CLOVIS
We are drawing nearer. Roger;
Now, we hear the waters roth
AS they break In little gushes
To the messy wayside trough.
All, you hear the waters. Roger,
In their crystal cooling flow;
AS they wander from the ridges
To the valley green below,
They are telling of the bluebells
Yelling dim tiny thread
AS it makes q way of silver
Ger the brooklet's babbling bed.
They are singing Of the lodges
Gray against the distant hill;
They are singing of the river
AS the messy trough they fill
Now, your check is loosened, Roger!
You may low'r your faithful head ;
You may battle your velvet nostrils
In the light the stars have shed.
You may have your fill of glory
Shining in the ev'ning skies
For host, a constellation
In the limpid darkness lies.
All. you breathe above the waters
AS they murmur and they froth;
There is nothing, is there, Roger,
Like the trimming wayside trough

STORIES and LETTERS
THE CLUBS PLAN.

The boys were to meet in Carts room
on Tuesday afternoon after school.
Every Tuesday the club met. Carl
was the president Of the club.
At the appointed hour when the boys
were quiet Carl ourst out, "say. boys,
do you know that Roosevelt is to be In
this town? Just think In our own
town and II Prexy don't let US go
think he Is real mean"
But we're to have q mathematic
exam. tomorrow Ralph protested.

wide-awake boy.
Let us write letter to Prexy tell.
ing him about 1t. We could commence
school at eight-thirty and let out at
twelve. Then we could recite all our
lessons and have our exam. too"
Bully for you Charles, you al
ways do suggest such nice things,
Ralph cried.
"But who will write the. letters
That's the question, asked Carl.
"Why you of course" they all cried
"Pshaw! you know can't ever do
anything right" Carl protested.
Jaw, can't never do anything. And
besides your the president Of this club
it's your duty to write the letter.
Charles jumped up and said, "all in
favor Of Carl cry aye"
All of the boys shouted AYE" sc
loudly that 1t was some minutes be
fore the room was quiet again.
1.-THE "ayes" have It," Charles said
smilingly to Carl.
"I reckon I've got to them" Car
groaned, but down in his heart he was
glad that he had been chosen.
The boys called the superintendent
(Mr. Prex) "Prexy" for short but they
were careful that he didn't hear them
The next morning Carl showed the
letter to the boys. 1t ran thus:
Dear SIR:
take pleasure in writing to you
in regard to the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt, our ex-president is to be in
this very town and speak In our pub
lie park. The boys ask II we can have
half holiday in order to hear him
We could have our examination in the
morning and commence the morning
session earlier than usual and let out
at twelve. Roosevelt is to be here
Thursday. Waiting an eager reply we
are,
Your pupils.
Imagine the boys surprise and de-
light when "Prexy" told them that
afternoon to come at $3.50 in the morn
ling.
/ "Prexy is fine chap" cried Charles
when school was over.
"And I'm going to invite him to 60
with u.s." cried Ralph.
The boys we're all prompt the next
morning.

THE HORSE.

There are many d1rerenc KlndS o.
horses The first one will tell vol
about Is the barb. This stock is founc
in the Barbary states, particularly II
Morocco and Fee and in the interior
of Tripoli. The barb is remarkable FOL
his fine and graceful action. He Is sci
dom over IA hands high.
The second one Is the Dongola
horse. This stock is found in the king
dom of Dongola and In the districts
lying between Egypt and Abysin1a
The Dongola horse is full Is hands
high. They are horses of speed and
endurance.
They are much priced as wal
horses.
The third is the Arabian. The Ara
bian is seldom over 14h hands high
and his head Is very beautiful He
would die rather than give up, and yet
with his native master OF the desert
he is the kindest animal In the world.
The fourth is the Persian. He has
been celebrated for many hundred
years, much longer than the Arabian.
His size is about the same; perhaps
he is little larger. He Is equal In
speed and beauty but inferior In en-
durance.
The fifth is the Turkoman horse. In
the south of Tartary is stock Of
horses celebrated for beauty and en-
durance. They stand from Is to 16
hands high. One of them has been
known to travel 900 miles in eleven
successive days.
The sixth is the Turkish horse.
They are said to be the descendants
of the Arabian crossed with the Per
sian. They possess many of the good
qualities of their ancestors.
Some of the best English horses
are descendants of the Turks.
The seventh is the hunter. The hun
ter of former times was horse Of
large size and capable of making a
great leap. The hunter of the present
day is perhaps three-quarters blood.
He Is much lighter and much heeter.
The eighth is the Hackney. The
Hackney, like the Hunter, is not dis
tinct stock, but is horse peculiarly
adapted by his size and carriage and
PAGES to the sadie The Hackney
should stand about Is hands high.
The ninth is the Comestoga horse.
This stock chiefly belongs to the mid
die states. He is descended from the
Flanders and Denmark stocks. His
height is often II hands.
The tenth is the Naragansett PAGER.
These horses have long been noted
in ERODE Island for their valuable quail
tiles, where they pace under the sad
die. They were said to be the de-
'scendants of horse imported by Gov.
ernor Robinson from AndaluSia,
Spain.
Danish horses. They have mingled
their blood with the other stock of this
country. Their descendants are chiefly
found in Pennsylvania and Ohio and
the northwestern states.

If inland water. In its western bound
a~, are what the Spaniards have
nov ID the Isles Adjocentes, long mar
row group of which Palawan, or Para
qua, is largest. This is where our
Filipino gentleman. Lloilo, came from.
Llolio is partly Chinese and partly
Tagalog. His skin is olive colored
and he wears a white duck suit and
white shoes.
| Ever since the stars and stripes
have foated over the Philippines he
had been longing to see America. And
at last his wish was granted, and this
Is Lloilo's trip to typical American
city, Otttumwa, Iowa.
He travelled straight from the Phil
ippines to Chicago. distance of 1866
miles and from Chicago to Ottumwa
on the Burlington Route. When he
arrived he took cab and went to
the Ballingall Hotel. He was very
glad to get rest in one Of the COM
fortable brass beds OF Hall & Eek
lfelt's.
The next morning he felt very rest
ed and he decided to take walk.
Passing the Fair he was surprised to
see many people come out of the store
with bundles. Wishing to be like the
Americans thought he walked in and
looked on amazingly for awhile when
he learned that these were for the
same purpose that the booths were IN
his hative land. He purchased pair
of mems dress shoes and passed out.
He would stop and look in at A'ery
window which he thought very
strange.
! The thing that puzzled him most
was the New Perfection OIL stove in
the window at Hand Bros. & Co. It
being about noon now he walked back
to the hotel ard at the table he got
! in conversation with DR.. Shallenber-
ger where he learned about the won
derful doctors Of America.
After dinner he walked past the ho-
tel Washington and stopped at the
Reeves Auto Co. Here few men
were working with an auto and he be.
came more and more interested until
they sold him a Hudson "33." OF
course he had to have a chauffeur and
was very much pleased to have an
American companion. He and Mr..
, Maitland. the chauffeur, became
friends Immediately. The chauffeur
took Lloilo around the Elk building and
then they stopped at the Courier Of.
