Ascending in the elevator and going through the va rious foors seven wards are visited. There are wards for white women and wards for white men, wards for colored women and wards for colored men. Both races are received, and of course only those incapable of caring for themselves are to be seen in the long rooms, lined on either side with their high white beds.

AMONG THE LOCAL HORSE DEALERS

The recent thaw and indications of
spring have already made a change in
the local horse market. Now that most
of the snow and ice have disappeared
those who work horses are beginning
to buy or at least look over the stock
exhibited by the dealers.
Prices remain high for all kinds Of
useful horses and the best types of the
various classes would To the layman
appear little short of prohibitive.
Horse values right out in the Western
farming and horse-breeding districts
would scare the average Eastern buyer
and the purchase of a nice driver, a
pair of nice carriage horses or a team
of good workers requires a roll of money
the like OF which a few years ago would
have answered for first payment on a
good quarter section farm.
So long as hcrses are scarce, how
ever, there will be nc reduction in values
and those in need of horses should get
right in and buy at once. as the indi-
cations are that they will be higher be-
fore they get cheaper again. All of the
local dealers are showing as good a lot
of horses of the yariou types as will
be found anywhere in the East at
prices that are coincident with quality.
