Horse.Lovinq xenophon.

We may breed different types OF
horses, and we may harness and use
them differently; but the points Of
excellence that combine to form the
most perfect horse are no different In
one age than another Xenophon, II
Is true, attached some importance to
points that we care much less about
now-as, for instance, a smooth,
round back that is easy to sit upon,
which was owing to the fact that the
Greeks did not use saddles, but only
a cloth, fastened to the horses body
by a surcingle; but these are minor
matters. He knew the points of a
good horse, and he knew horse ma
ture. And he had, too, that delight
In horses that is found only in the
true horseman, the man who loves as
well as knows them. 1T Is upon
horses" says he. "that gods and
heroes are painted riding; and men
who are able to manage them skill
fully are regarded as deserving of adj
miration. So extremely beautiful and
admirable and noble a sight is
horse that bears himself superbly
that he fills the gaze of all who see
him, both young and old; no one, in
deed leaves him or is tired of con-
templating him as long as he contin-
ues to display his magnificent atti-
tudes." From the Atlantic.

the Chinese government accepted the
bid of the Kiangnan arsenal for the
construction of four warships at about
100000 taels. The arsenal, under
control of Liang-Kiang, viceroy, en-
cages principally in the manufacture
of arms. Although it has equipment
for shipbuilding, it has not turned
out any warships in the history of it's
existence for the last twenty-odd
years, it's experience so far having
only consisted in putting together
gunboats that wer built in foreign
countries.
Again, at the Mamel dockyard at
Fukien one gunboat was constructed
in 1899 and another in the following
year which were completed in 1902

Who is Bryan Supporting?

The following from an inter
view with Mr.. Bryan, published
in the New York World, will be
of interest to those who want to
follow Mr.. Bryan blindly. to
those who would follow him if
right, and to those who want to
get on the "other side:
mo, / have studiously avoided
expressing any opinion regard
ing the relative availability Of the
two gentlemen who seem TO be
dividing public attention - Cover
nor Wilson and Speaker Clark.
/ have avoided expressing any
preference as between those two
gentlemen for several reasons.
The first is, that | am not clear
i'm my own mind as to which of
them would be able to poll the
larger vote, and a good deal may
depend upon the action Of the re-
DuDICdl COllNCilIiO JlllJ - bub
course of the convention may af-
feet the relative availability of
those two candidates. And
would like to have all the light
can get before expressing any
opinion regarding either Cover
nor Wilson or Speaker Clark"
1t will be seen that he is com
mitted to nothing, except as tC
the defeat of Governor Harmon.
| AS between Clark and Wilson, he
is taking no part. Marshall anc
Underwood are not crossed Out
and Mayor GaYnor in not ruled
off. This ought to admonisk
those who use such arguments
that no candidate has the right
to claim support because Bryan
is for their candidate.

Toll Of the Jungle.

India still pays it's annual trib-
ute of human life to the Jungle.
In fact, the number of deaths
from snakebite or the attacks of
wild animals has steadily in
creased during the last three
years. The rising waters have
driven the serpents out Of the
lowlands up into the villages and
have diminished through drown
ing the natural food supply Of
the larger wild beasts.
In 1910, So persons were killed
by elephants, 25 by hyenas, 100
by bears. 351 by leopards, 318 by
wolves, 953 by tigers, and 689 by
other animals, including wild
pigs. No less than %, 478 died
from the BITE of p)is5nous
snakes. The grand total of NOR
tally is 24,873.
During the same year 90, 900
cattle were also killel by wild
beasts and snakes.
The losses on the part of in
habitants of the jungle were
nearly but not quite as gceat as
those of their human enemies
and domesticated animals com
bined 81, 10l snakes and over
10, 600 wild beasts were killed.
A great many cases Of snake
bite were successfully treated
with the Bruton lancet and per
manganate of potash.

England America

A glance at the above column
becomes doubly interesting when
it is seen that all the above oc-
equations do not enjoy a cent of
protection. In all classes of
labor the American wage" and
American Standard" is reali-
ty except those classes employed
by the trusts. The trusts make
all the noise about American
wages" until they get a tariff
wall. Then they proceed to pay
less wages and impose worse con-
ditions than men anywhere work
under.
The steel trust investigation,
and the Lawrence mill strike
proved beyond the shadow of a
doubt that protection does not
mean good wages in this country.
In practically every line of in
dustry outside of those controlled
by the tariff trusts American
wages are higher then they are
abroad. The trusts work their
men harder. and pay them less
than men similarly employed
abroad receive.
The watch trusts report, in
view of this fact, is very likely
to prove one Of the best argu-
ments for the removal of the
tariff on watches, instead Of in
creasing the present rates, as
the trust urges.

Mr.. Editor the messenger of

Aunt" Margaret Bush as his
victim.

Christian.
Aunt" Margaret Bush was
sixty-one years Of age, and for
forty-six years had lived q con-
sistent Christian life
Mrs. Bush was born in Bar
bour county and came to this
county when she was small. She
was the daughter of G. l.. and
Mrs. F. M. Gamer, and has lived
in this county for about fifty
years and all who knew her
learned to love and respect her
as a kind neighbor and loving
mother. She leaves a husband,
a father and several children to
mourn their loss. Weep not
husband, father and children,
your wife, your daughter, your
mother has gone to live with
Jesus Christ her savior, who Las
been her guiding star for forty
six years, and was at her bedside
to take her home to Glory.
Her body was laid to rest in
the Trace Fork burying ground
amid host of sorrowing friends.
But weep not for your friend, for
she has gone to live with him
who has made life for all who
. will come to him and may you q
strive to walk in that straigh,
and narrow way that leads froa
earth to Heaven.

as "A Report On The Relative

an attempt to prove that wages

While dedicated to watches,
the report cites figures of COM

classes of laborers here and in
