TANNING OF WILD HORSES
Experiment in England With Unframed
Beasts of Desert Results In
Failure.

London Southwestern cowboys have
always had their own peculiar methods
of breaking and handling horses, n
they have proven highly successful.
During recent years, however, they
have had little opportunity to try them
on wild horses.
It 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, a 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 a 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.

Life Through Faith.

Faith bears fruit. 1t cannot help 1t
because 1t links the soul With Christ,
SO that the energy of his life pour
into 1t through the artery of faith.
and, as 1t comes In, so 1t must make a
way for itself out. Fruit is. so to
speak, forced from the believing soul.
"Why does the lark sing? It cannot
help 1t, because the spirit of the spring
has been poured into itz heart. Why
does the branch bear friit? 1t cannot
help 1t because the life forces are
ever pouring up from its root. Why
does a child u to meet its motherf
It cannot help 1t because It's heart
mas imEibed her nature. So the be-
lever. united to Christ, receives grace
nom his heart and from the abun-
dance Of his indwelling life speaks."-

New York.-A long and bitter con-
troversy over the selection of a new
president at a meeting of the board
of directors of the Missouri Pacific
ended in the election of B. F. Bush,
president of Western Maryland and a
Gould man, in the resignation of Paul
M. Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and
Cornelius Vanderbilt from the direc-
torate and in seemingly irreconcila-
BILE differences between the firm OF
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the American
and foreign stockholders represented
by it and the Gould party and it's ad-
herents.
Votes against Mr.. Bush were cast
by all of the new members of the
board, elected at the last annual
meeting, with whom George ]. Gould
had made arrangements for the de-
velopment or rehabilitation of the
company.
The result was all the negotiations
which we're carried on in the last few
months to provide for the future of
the system were set at naught, and
the Goulds will have to find other
bankers for the property.
In behalf of the bankers who have
Withdrawn from the Missouri Pacific
it was said the election of Bush vas
a misfortune. When he was elected
the Kuhn-Loeb representatives felt
there was no further reason for them
to remain in the directorate.
One interesting feature of the stu
alton is that, although the Rockefeller
interests opposed the election Of
Bush, the Rockefeller representatives
on the board did not resign.
While the Gould interests have lost
n powerful ally, they have gained a
still more powerful one in John D.
Rockefeller, who will provide the
money necessary for the rehabilita-
ton of the property.
1t probably means a fight for con-
troll of Wabash, in which both the
Gould and the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. in
terests have large holdings.
The Kuhn-Loeb interests insisted
upon the election Of ex-Gov. David
Francis of Missouri to the presidency
of Missouri Pacific. This was vio-
lently opposed by Mr.. Gould, who had
a majority of the directors with him
at the meeting.

Elmer.-Twenty-six school children
under IL years Of age are engaged in
gardening en- a lot go feet front and
ESQ feet deep, donated for the pur-
pose of a school garden by its owner,
Mrs. Mary Ackley, of Glassboro. The
work is under the supervision Of Miss
Elizabeth Souders, the intermediate
teacher in the Main street school.
The W.. C. T. u. supplies the seed
free and a member of that organ1za-
ton offered prizes as follows: 81 for
the best flower bed and also for the
best vegetable; 81 each for second
best and 80 cents each for third best.
Members of the w. G. T. u, under
whose auspices the work Is conduct
ed, visit the gardens from time to
time and note the progress made.
| They will also appoint judges, who
will later Judge. the gardens and
award the prizes. The plot Is diyid-
ed into two sections, the girls taking
one side for the cultivation of flowers
and the boys the other for vegetables.
They are allowed to sell their pro-
ducts and make what they can for
themselves, SO that no child, whether
obtaining a prize or not, need go I'M
rewarded for time expended.
All the work is to be done by the
children, preparing soil, ~cultivating,
planting, seed, etc. Last year the
same work was done, with the excep-
ton that the children had their gar
dens at home. The public work this
