Horses, colors and Prices.

The color of a horse has a consid-
cradle effect on the price of carriage
horses in America. at least in the east
ern states. Horse dealers say that
since the introduction of motors this
color prejudice has become more mark
ed. Brown is said to be the favorite
color, though it is run hard by bay,
and chestnut is not far behind. Black
horses are very unpopular. They are
too much associated with funerals. OF
course the prejudice against black does
not affect horses bred for business pur-
poses. Last of all in the public esti
nation come the horses which gradu-
ate in color from dapple gray to milk
white. The whittier the horse the more
difficult it is to sell. The reason Civ
en- is that the hairs of white horses
when they are shed show up on clothes
and on the cloth upholstery of car
riages. 1t is more likely to be explain
ed by tradition or superstition.-Man-

our hearts, for John had wounded me
and we had quarreled, and we could
almost see the buds expand, so rapidly

singing over the meadows, and myr-
lads of insects, awakened after the
long winter, were chirping merr1ly.
There's never such a sweet time as
after making up difference, and John
chose it to tell me that he loved me-

with kiss, for the bright sun still
