HORSES SENSE TO RESCUE
Sample Of Remarkable Equine InteIlI.
gence That Is vouched for
by Traveller.

Hamdanie, an Arab horse owned by
Pierre Ponafdine during his travels in
the Moslem East, was universal fav.
orite on account of his docility and
intelligence Mr.. Ponafidine says, in
Life in the Moslem East, that it was a
pretty sight to see him tease his groom
when the man was cleaning the
stables With his teeth he would sly.
" undo the mans belt, extract his
handkerchief from the capacious Arab
pocket, or take off his groom's hat
and hold it in his teeth high up almost
out of reach.
Another time he showed an almost
human understanding. Mrs. Ponaf1-
dine was riding him. We were re-
turning from a ride one evening, and
as we entered the town, we had to
pass through an archway and then
turn sharply into narrow lane. Just
as we entered the arch, with my wife
leading the party, band of children
came racing down the lane, and one
after the other, as they turned the cor
ner. they ran into Hamdanie, who was
cantering and, as usual, prancing.
II turned cold with horror as / fore
saw the awful accident that seemed
unavoidable The wise creature un-
derstood the danger as well as did,
and In a second stopped short and
threw himself back sitting literally
like dog on his launches with fore
legs well spread, receiving one after
another the children who ran full into
his arms, as it were. Hard as the
position was for horse and rider, he
kept it up until the fast child had run
round the corner into him. The lit
tie ones picked themselves up, quite
unconscious of the fate from which
the horses kindness had saved them"

ISLES OF SCILLY
Group That Are Situated South
west of England.
Period at Which islands Were Sepa.
rated from the Mainland Must Be
Far Beyond the Reach of
History.

London-People sometimes apply
the term Lyonesse to the whole of
Cornwall, which is a mistake. If there
ever was such land at all it lay west
ward of Cornwall, and the Scilly Isles
are it's relics. The name of Arthur
plays like lambent light about the
district; but the period at which the
Settles were separated from the
mainland must be far beyond the
reach of history, which in England can
only explore about two thousand years
backward. The Lyonesse of romance
extended to the southwest of Lands
End, and was connected in race and
legend with the Leon of Brittany As
matter of geology the tradition has
no satisfactory basis, though there
are traces of submerged forests in
Mounts Bay, and the old Cornish
name of St. Michael's Modnt repre-
sents that rock as having once stood
in the center of woodland. In reality
the islands are the last upheavals of
that backbone of granite which is so
impressive on Dartmoor and which
again comes into notice on the Bod
min Moors. True, ocean depths do not
begin till far beyond the islands, so
that in its relation to the great sub
marine platform Scilly may be con-
sidered structurally attached to Brit
ain, as Britain is to the Continent.
Some portion of the vanished region
may have survived, adjoining the
~ ~ pau I'LL fh6, ~
1909. when, according to the Saxon
chronicle, Lyonesse was destroyed in
a great tempest.
When we come to the genuine his
tory of Scilly there are some interest
ing things to notice. The islands seem
to have been used as penal settle
ment in Roman times; and in the sixth
century they gave a home to the
Welch st. Samson, who became bish-
op of Dol, and who has left footprints
in Guernsey as well as in Devon and
Cornwall. The Isle Of Samson is now
uninhabited, but it may have had a
fairly large population when the saint
are many traces of early occupation.
To many it is still more interesting as
the home of Walter Besant's Armorel.
Early in the tenth century Athelstan
made conquering expedition through
Cornwall, and ID said to have spied
these isles from the high land at st.
Buryan-the day must have been I'M
commonly clear. He vowed to build a
church on the spot where he stood if

he returned safely from their con-
quest. Probably he met with little re-
sistance on the islands, where he is
supposed 20 have founded Tresco Alb
hey. Later, in the same century, a
Scillonian had the credit of convert
ing the fierce King Olaf of Norway.
After marrying the coast Of Britain
and Ireland Olaf sighted the Settles
and ran his vessel into what is now
the harbor of St. Mary's. A hermit
here gave him timely warning Of a
mutiny that was about to take place
among his own troops; he crushed the
revolt, but was severely wounded.
Carried to the monastery at Tresco,
he was there nursed into health and
Christianity, consenting to receive
baptism.

PLAN TO LOWER LIVING COST

high cost of living proposed by a COM

the comrnfttee believes, is the best
means of cutting down unnecessary
costs in distribution, as it would do
away with jobbers.

FACTORS THAT BUILD lip AND

What makes a town grow?

What makes a town grow?
Have you ever thought over it Sc
riously?
Have you ever thought over the
factors that combine to infuse into a
town the spirit of development and
insure it's growth?
Or, over those that combine to hold
town back, to retard its develop
ment, to check its growth?
If you have not done so, could there
ever be more opportune time than
this to do so?
The last census showed that the per-
centage of growth in Americas was
disapointingly small
There had been increase in wealth
for a few.
There had been expansion of agri
culture, with greater land values.
But the figures of population fel

What shall be done to bring devel-
opment, to insure growth, to make
this the city where l and my children
can secure a livelihood and at least
enjoy moderate degree of material
prosperity?
You must appreciate the forceful-
ness of this.
Now, ask yourself these questions,
and answer them in your own mind,
not as somebody else suggests, but
as your own good common sense and
judgment dictate.
