Army Horses.

Capt Archibald S. Black. Of London. q
former army officer, who is visiting in
this country for pleasure, was seen at
the New Ebbitt, and in speaking about
army horses he said; The British army
on mobilization will require 1s2.o00 horses,
and no one has the slightest idea where
they are to be found. Good authorities
tell US that this number of animals of
the military age does not exist in the
country. With the growth Of mechanical
transport the necessity OF taking steps
to secure a supply OF horses in war
grows more and more urgent. We cam
not, unfortunately. mount our cavalry
on taxicabs. We still breed the best
horses in the world. but they are bought
up for the use Of foreign armies, while
the British war once Is counting its
pence"

There was q merchant in our town
who was not wondrous wise; he said
that he could get along and never ad-
vertise. His rivals now are all con-
vinced that advertising pays, for he was
forced to get along in less than ninety

Where the Kings Clothes Were Kep

From the Westminster Gazette
St Andrew's-by-the Wardrobe, for the
restoration OF which the rector appeals,
is a conspicuous waymark in Queen Vic
toria street and derives a grotesque dis
tinguishing title from former proximity
to the Kings Great Wardrobe. This
was originally the town mansion Of Sir
John Beauchamp, and was purchased
from his executors by Edward III for
the keepers of the Kings apparel. There
were kept" says Fuller, ''the ancient
clothes of our English kings which they
wore on great festivals" Shakespeare
in his will left to his favorite daughter
Susannah, the Warwickshire doctor S
wife, house near the Wardrobe. "wher-
in one John Robinson dwelleth." The
present church OF st. Andrew's-by-the-
Wardrobe was rebuilt by Wren after the
great fire and became the city center Of

Sometimes these robbcries are accom-
panied by violence. Thus, in 1883, Mr. ].
Alexander, a diamond merchant in Hat
ton Garden, complained to the London
police that he had been shot through
the right hand by a thief who had en-
tered his Office and stolen a purse of
diamonds valued at some thousands Of
pounds. The miscreant, 1t was added,
rushed out of the building, jumped into
hanson, and escaped before an alarm
could be given.
A year later two foreigners were tn-
specting precious stones at the premises
of Mr.. Tabak, a London diamond mer-
chant, when they suddenly attacked him
with life preserver," and got on with
$4,000 worth Of gems
A later crime Of kindred description
occurred in London in 1894, when Mr..
Spyers, a Dutch merchant, was over
powered by chloroform at Hatton Garden
and robbed of diamonds and other jewels
worth several thousand pounds. In this
instance the Offices had been opened by
persons who gave themselves out as
large purchasers for the continental mar
ket. Mr.. Spyers called on them in the
way of business, and was promptly NAL
treated and deprived of his pocketbook-
There was suspicion at the time. whether
well founded or otherwise, that this was
the work of the gang who robbed the
HattQn Garden post-ofice. In that case
they took rooms next door and had
registered letter delivered to them every
day. As they came first on the post
