it is usually at the o of the lives
of other horses. An outlaw has caused
a stampede I'm the trap and has leaped
over the canvas barrier from h top of
a pyramid composed of the writhing
bodies of his band. The outlawry of a
wild horse IN proclaimed by the fact
that his breaking is Of no avail. Should
an outlaw kill or disable his buster
in the first encounter, he is thrown to
the ground while another buster
mounts him in that position. The out
he is exhausted. then he will stand
quietly or trot about with the man
upon his back. The submission is but
temporary and when next he is saddled
the terrific bucking will go on as long
as the horse Is physically able to keep
it up. And at the next saddling, and
the mex and the next. Some horses
plainly prefer death to submission to
man. and violent death has sometimes
come in q way that could be called
nothing but suicide. The horses that
survive the FIRST lessons and
continue to fight can be divided into
two classesethose hat refuse ever to
yield in the slightest degree, and those
that surrender cunditionally, renewing
the fight as opportunity arrives. A
horse of the first class has, almost
invariably. q misshapen head: crazy

the second class are far above the av-
erage In intelligence. Their violence Is
not without method. They will charge

BITS OF HISTORY.

A Terrible Battleship.

On March IA. 1914, the congress of
the United States appropriated the sum
of 5000 0 for the construction of a
war vessel in the shape of Il floating
battery" designed by Robert Fulton.
This battery was intended to be IA very
deadly affair, for it was planned to
shoot scalding water and red hot can
non balls at the enemy. This IA the
first steam war vessel built by the Am
erican government. She was christ
aned the "Demologas,' but after the
designers death her name was changed
to the FULTON" in his honor. She was
launched October %, 1914. but her en-
CINE was not put in till the following
May. BY hat time the war of 1872 was
over. and the terrible batrleship never
got a chance to squirt hot water at the
British navy. She was afterwards made
over into a receiving ship for raw naval
recruits, and finally ended her rather
inglorious career by blowing up.

PHYSICIANS AND FEES.

A Medical Wow Of tho Doctors Charge
For His Services.
Those who discuss the physicians
fee frequently miss the essence Of It.
AS a matter Of fact, under present
social conditions the charge made to
the wealthy and well to do is the nor
NAL and proper fee; the lowered
charges made to those less fortunate
nre concessions. The tremendous field
of the physicians charity is therefore
usually underestimated, for 1t extends
10 a great majority Of his patients.
In olden times. when medicine was
nearly all art and but little science
the fee was unknown. Like other art
lists, the leech received an honorarlum'
the weight Of which depended natu'
rally upon the resources Of the patient.
The popular impression that physi'
clans make the rich pay for the poor is
incorrect. They extend their services to
all alike, and all are supposed to pay as
much as Ahey can afford for services
really priceless and impossible to rep
resent adequately In money values
Any attempt made to establish stand
.rd fees by law is sure to work In
'ns.ice to the physician. The stand

here would huve to be some method
