PICKED OUT THE WRONG EYE
Physician Meant Well Enough but He
Had Left the Motorman So
rIously Handicapped.

Frank e. Payne, a member OF the
state railroad commission, said when
investigating trolley accident re-
Gently, he was told Of a motorman on
a work car who was running at high
speed when the trucks left the rails
because of snow and sleet, and the
car was thrown to the side OF the
right Of way, bringing 1t up against a
telephone pole.
1.-THE motorman was not seriously
hurt, but was cut and bruised about
the head and face by flying glass. He
was carried to a physicians office
where his wounds were dressed and
bandaged. When the physician had
placed the last pin, he asked the
wounded man II he felt like he could
walk.
Sure, l can walk all right re-
turned the patient, but l wish you
would fix those bandages SO l can

1t will be found in seeking these
points that every breed has serious
and, in fact. disqualifying differences.
and Dean Curtiss Is merely doing
what has been frequently done with
other breeds when he tries to take a
short cut by combining gray Shires
with Clydes and uniting the excellen-
cies of both. That 1t will take time
and an intensif1cation Of the desired
horse by inbreeding is nothing against
the experiment.
A great deal has been done in both
Shire and Clyde to improve them, but
some sire has been sacrificed to get
perfection of hoof and pastern in the
one breed, and the Clyde was never

preferring a quick, active. granted
horse to one which consumed more
hay, an article he Is not apt to be
overburdened with. The great back
ribs and barrel OF the Shire will be
well carried on Clyde legs, the head
will be improved, while there Is an
upstandingness and presence about
the great Shire horses that are I'M
pressive. The Shire horse is con-
sistent puller. He will pull without
result for long time without becom-
ing discouraged, while the Clyde horse
gets into action much quicker and at
the second or third step Is In the full

It is, as a rule, we'll to stick to one
breed of horses and to breed that one
which has the greatest number OF
good stations in ones district. Under
Dean Curtiss, however, at the Iowa
college, Ames, Iowa, an effort is being
made to combine the best that Is in
the Shire and Clyde horses, and the
resources of the college fully JUSTIFY
the experiment and also the kind OF
horses that are being produced. Many
Of our most successful show horses
have resulted from cross Of Clyde
and Percheron, Clyde and Shire or
Shire and Percheron in varying de-
gree. The ideal type of all three
great breeds Is nearly the same; all
seek improvement over the original
horse Of their districts, and when
Judge enters the ring, although he is
forced to make allowance for differ
ences /! each breed, yet he has pretty
much the same standard in his MIND
for all. The ideal begins with deep
feet, yet not boxy, but with wide
hoof heads and a broad elastic heel
and frog. The set of the pasterns
must be oblique to give plenty OF
spring and save concussion, plenty OF
breadth in canon bone and tendon
with quality, big muscular forearms,
with the muscle coming down evenly,
not in punches, both for STIR myth and
to denote muscular tendency through
out. Head and neck strong without
coarseness, but denoting strong vital
ity. The draft horses shoulder may
be straighter than the carriage
horses, but It should be oblique
enough for the horse to wear himself
well and travel easily, which will not
be the case with an upright shoulder,
or If the legs are not truly set on the
body the latter point is often over

The old red farmhouse wasn't red

along swimmingly. Mr.. Bowser didn't
exactly think he was lying but laid
it to loss of memory instead. Five or
six times he gave Mrs. Bowser the
wink to stop the cross examination,
and when she persisted, he said she
might be excused for a time. She left
