Speaker Clark seems to have become
that anomaly in Democratic politics-a
loader who leads. His success in holding
the majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives to the sensible programme or
dealing with the Canadian reciprocity
agreement separately and on It's own
merits deserves to be recorded as one of
the wonders of these degenerate Gays
when doing the obviously foolish thing
has threatened to become all unamend-
able Democratic habit.

TANNING OF WILD HORSES
Experiment In England With untamed
Beasts Of Desert Results In
Failure.

Observation-Disclosures cowboys have
always had their own peculiar methods
Of breaking and handling horses, and
they have proven highly successful.
During recent years, however. they
have had little opportunity to try them
on wild horses.
1t Is more difficult to domesticate
the wild horse than it is any other
wild animal. The southwest will
read with interest, then, of the ex-
pertinent now being conducted in
England.
Some years ago Prjevofsky, Rus
sian explorer, discovered a distinct
wild horse in the Cobb desert, in the
south OF Mongolia. A herd of 30
colts were captured and landed in
Europe. Most of them were sent to
Russia, but few were shipped to
the estate Of the Duke of Bedford.
in England. They were ragged of
coat and Of awkward gait All ef-
forts to tame them have failed.

My barn Is not one of the modern
kind, but one that has been built over
or added on to, as shown by the illus
tration, writes JohV Jackson Of OF
tawa county, Mich... in the Michigan
Farmer. The dotted lines show the
main building, ons which additions
have been built on all four sides.
These additions were built on at diff
erent times, and by taking on the
boards from the sides and ends of the
main barn for the additions 1t was
not necessary to purchase much new
lumber. AS l did all the carpenter
work myself the expense of these ad-
ditions was comparatively small, and
/ now have a barn that is very con-
venient, and one large enough to hold
about all the hay, grain. corn fodder
and straw that / can raise as the
barn is painted red, 1t compares favor
ably in appearance with most barns
around the country. A portion of the
barn was painted where the lumber
was not planed.
BY putting on two good coats there
is but little difference-in the looks of
this or the part where the lumber was
planed. There are many old barns
around the country, that could be en-
larged by similar additions and paint
ed without planning the lumber. which
could be thus improved at small ex-
pense. Such barn can be nearly as
conveniently arranged and by paint
ing be made to look nearly as well as
a modern structure, which would cost
more than many farmers could afford.
In my barn the lofts above the
horse and sheep stable are used for

INDIAN TRIBE NOT EXTINCT
California Expedition Discovers REM
nants Of kombos Near Head
Waters of Sacramento.

San Francisco.-An anthropological
expedition from the University of Cal
ifornia, under Professor Kroeber, has
reported the discovery of remnants of
supposedly extinct tribe of Califor-
MIA Indians near the head waters of
the Sacramento river. The main body
of the tribe. the Kombos, was exter-
minated in raid in 1870 by settlers.
According to the members of the ex-
petition, which has returned from the
north. there are about 20 in the tribe
at present. They were identified by
arrow heads and other implements
found In their camps, although the
aborigines themselves are too Wild to
be approached.
The university will try to have them
rounded up by troop OF United
States cavalry In order that their Ian
guage and ancient customs may be
studied in the interest of ethnology.
Reports from sheepmen in Tehama
county that sheep Il had been found
killed by arrows led to the search for
the Indians.

They will not submit 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 proven that
the Cobb desert horse is a distinct
species OF the genus horse. The
name. forelock and tail are not un-
like the domestic animal, and, like
them, they neigh and snort. 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 Cobb
horse is a representative of the
steppe variety. This horse In its
wild state lives in the level districts
and goes at night to the pasture lands
and drinking places. At break Of day
It returns to the desert, where 1t rests
until sunset.
When there are nursing colts in
the herd the animals always rest
In the same place. They usually
walk one behind the other, SO that
the region where they live is covered
with deep tracks.
