DEMAND FOR WAR HORSES.

'"The United States is not the only coun-
try that is in need OF suitable horses for
its army" said Andrew Sherer. Of Mon
treal. a member Of the board Of directors
Of the Canadian National Bureau of Breed
ing, at the Raleigh. According TO the
Hon. Richard Haldane, English Secretary
of State for War, Great Britain is in need
Of $4,000 horses for mobilization in addition
70 those already in sight Canada is $1,000
horses short OF war footing. 1t seems 10
me that II this country is TO meet the de-
mand that may come for army remounts
there is only one way 10 do it. and that is
through the establishment Of a national
bureau Of breeding such as Ne have In
Canada. Recently the Canadian govern
ment granted US a subsidy OF $50 for each
stallion employed by the bureau, and We
have had the support Of many Of the rich
men Of the Dominion as well as officials
OF the government. II seems 10 me that
the United States should provide for the
emergencies that may arise.
Great Britain was taught severe les
ton az the time Of the Boer war, when
she had TO go 10 foreign countries to pur-
chase remounts. In 1850 the British army
bought 1000 horses from other countries;
In 1891 II purchased 1890. and in 1860 It
asked rs reighbors for more than 1900.
Now the War once says England needs
more than 10000
The system employed by the Canadian
bureau IS 10 produce first class sires, most
Is thoroughbreds, and send them into vari-
Gus centres Of farming population. giving
the farmers opportunity 70 avail them
selves of the service OF good horses al
nominal cost and insuring foals that they
can sell 70 the government at prostable
figure Since the establishment OF the
bureau hundreds OF foals Of excellent type
for army service have been produced and
with the rapid increase in the number Of
sires Canada will soon be able 20 supply

ANOTHER CLASS IS DIFFERENT.

There is another class, too. Horace. that
stalks up and down the business and social
walks OF life. They, likewise are eager for
the fray, eager to match themselves
against others, eager to give blows-out
not TO receive them. They too, long for
victory. But 10 them victory means not
the triumph Of the spirit OF fair. clean con-
quest, but the pillsge Of the paid mer-
cenary who Yields his sword only for the
things that may be stolen and sacked after
II has hewn the way.
Their idea Of battle is 10 lunge and sta D
and thrust upon the enemy from behind
They wage a craven warfare and become
business assassins; and they are content il
only they beat their opponent TO earth and
strip him OF all he has They first en-
tanele an adversary in the net OF their
business acumen and then beat his brains
out when he's gagged and bound.
And they call this victory success! 10
them II IS for they never wage war
against their own inner selves. The build
ing Of character and the conquest OF ones
evil inclinations are but preachments. To
them character Is but thing TO be beaten
down-in other men!
To win, Horace is 10 enjoy the noblest
OF human emotions. To beat is but TO
admit that one lives in fear and trembling
OF the time when another stronger than
himself will come along and maui him into
a being who failed TO survive.

WINNING AND BEATING
One PraiseWOrthy and the Other
To Be Condemned.

To win. Horace, is the aim of nearly
every individual in the world. To beat
Horace, is the goal only OF those who do
not understand the difference between win
ming and beating And this difference-did
you ever stop to think about It. Horace?
There are in the world to-day-in this
prosaic, practical age-certain valiant,
cear-thinkirs spirits who battle with their
twentieth century adversaries with all the
valor, strength and determination Of any Of
the knights OF old. In them the spirit OF
knighthood, of true chivalry, is still alive.
They fight. but they fight squarely. They
conquer, but for the sake OF the conquest,
not the spells. Born with the love Of cold
steel in their veins, they love battle for
the sheer Joy OF the contest
Each day finds them arrayed In the
lists against some opponent The battle
may be waged in the factory, the counting
room or the business office. But battles
there are-and many OF them They give
and take their business blows standing
sauarely up 10 their adversaries. They fight
hard. Sometimes they are beaten down.
but they rise again and re-enter. the lists.
And they show no quarter-until they have
been declared the yictors.

DON'T APPEAR IN TRUE CoLORs.

Then, indeed, do they appear In their
true colors Then is it seen that they
fought for the sheer JOY Of winning, OF
proving themselves, Of having accomplished
that TO which they had set their hands.
Tne fruits of their victory? Why, they are
but perouisites Of their battles, not the OBJ
iective of their fight They are not mer-
cenaries. but patriots waging war for a
principle.
Every phase or their lives is contest
IN which they will be either defeated or
victorious. And each contest is but means
Of testing themselves: but a method or as
certaining whether they have made prog
ress or retrogression. Horace, you will find
them with right on their side. They fight
10 live and 10 let live and not on the prih-
ciple Of the survival OF the fittest.
The majority Of their battles are wageu
within their own breasts. And their chief
adversarles are their own selves. They
strive TO make OF themselves not sem
blances Of manhood or pawns of that
which the world calls success, but real
men who measure their manhood not by
what they have but by what they are. 10
others they show quarter and mercy In
their houi OF triumph; but 10 themselves
never! For they realize that the Battle
with self is never won. And they rejoice
more over a victorious bit OF character
building than over the contamination of a
deal that brings with It material emolu-
ment.
Nor are they fools. either. In fact, they
are shrewd men. for they build not upon
things but upon character-that asset that
has no financial crash and which no ON
nipotent individual can take from them.

Waterloo. May 1o.-Wandering aim
lessly along the Great Western tracks
in the vicinity Of the Waterloo skirt
factory, a demented man was picked
up by the police Thursday forenoon
and taken to the city Jail for safe
keeping. The man attracted attention
of residents in that section Of the city
whose suspicious were aroused by his
peculiar actions. When they tried to
carry on conversation with him they
found it impossible because Of his In
ability to talk coherently.
There is not a scrap OF paper on his
person that casts any light on his
identity, the only clue found by the
police being the information that he
had come from South Omaha The
man is about AZ years old and can
talk on only one subject and that is
Baltimore. 1t appears he desires to
reach that city. The fellow is una BILE
to tell has name or remember anything
about his relatives. destination, last
residence or what has happened in the
past.
The fellow evidently is of German
extraction. tailor by trade and has
sustained an electric shock within
the last few days. Both his hands are
badly burned and have become infect
ed. The theory is advanced that this
shock may have caused his recent
mental condition.
