"Only less celebrated than OLA
Rough and Ready's favorite white

Wilson, was Capt. Charles Augustus
Mays Black Tom, a magnificent coal
black gelding. Captain May was the
beau sabreur of Taylor's army in
Mexico.
AT the head of his squadron of the
Second United States Dragons, Cap
tain May led gallant charge against
Mexican battery in the battle of Re-
SAGA de la Palma, May 8, 1886, and,
leaping Tom over one OF the guns, cap
tured General La Vega and the entire
battery of six pieces
May possessed an unsurpassed mil
itary record for leaping with Tom,
and 1t is quite possible one that has
never been equaled in the hunting
field, or even on the race course. My
friend. the late Hon. Francis G. Law
ley, perhaps the highest British au-
thority on the subject, gives 81 feet
as the greatest distance ever covered
by an English horse In steeplechase
or elsewhere
BLACK Tom jumped 35 feet on a
wager during the Mexican war, and
three years later May made another
bet that with flying start of 80 yards
he could leap Tom across a canal SO
feed In width. They came laundering
along at a terrific speed. the jet-black
steed nearly IL hands high, and May
more than six feet, sitting like cen
taur. Tom gave a mighty jump, but
fell short, and, OF course, man and
horse had a very sudden and cold bath.

ter.

man rode Tom up the steps of the
leading hotel OF that city, cavorted
around and through several of the
principal apartments and then coolly
rode out again, as II 1t was an ordin
airy, everyday occurrence.
Thoroughbred Tom was a spirited
and rather difficult horse for any one
but his master to ride or control. A

weather conditions as have obtained
for the last few weeks. This morn

the suggestion OF a cold 1t is even
cold comfort to be told by DR.. ]. B..
Huber, in the New York Medical
Journal. that colds seem to be the OK
elusive privilege of civilization; that
the human race did not shuttle much
until It began to build houses and to
wear clothes. and that an essential
element in the catching of colds has
been the disturbance OF equilibrium
in the body through constantly pass
ing from the superheated home into
low temperatures without the house.
The fact remains that the human
race, or that portion Of II which Is
found in this latitude. does build
houses and wear clothes. and that 1t
finds houses and clothes indispens-
able, even when winter is engaged In
SO mild an occupation as lingering in
