There is an Arab proyerb which
says, "The most exalted seat in the
world is the saddle Of a swift
horse, and the best companion for
all time is a book.
But one need not go as far as Ara
bia tofind a country where the say
ing holds true; it is not necessary
even to go TO Kentucky, once fam
GUS as the home Of beautiful wom-
en-, good whisky and fine horses. Ffv
hours east Of Kansas City lies the
town OF Mexico. Mo, where. despite
the encroachments OF the motor car.
the horse Is still king. Residents OF
the town will tell you proudly that
Mexico and Audrain County are now
shipping blooded saddle horses to
Kentucky, And one of the widely
Known residents OF Mexico is the fan
ous old stallion. Rex Mcdonald.
Anybody in town can ten you abou'
Rex. and they spea k Of him there
much as If he were a human being,
a personal friend. For is he not the
champion Of champions, the unde.
featcd king of the saddle ring? Ger.
tainIy. And what II he is % years
old-that only enhances his glory,
Lake Cleopatra. "age cannot wither
him." apparently. Though he Is
the property of B. r. Middleton. the
whole town feels an interest in
him. And they feel that II is en-.
tlrely proper and fitting that Rex
should spend his old age in Mex
leo, for there he was born and
lived as a foal.
The stable that houses this four
legged idol is an humble affair OF on,
room, light and airy. where he can
walk about without any restraint OF
halter. When you open the door,
the king himself turns around and
ambles over TO see you, squeallne
a greeting, and nipping at you play
fully. But he is a well-behaved ami
NAL and Mr.. Middleton assures you
that he wouldn't raelly bite. Which
is ~reassuring. for Rex is a big beast
and would not find 1t difficult &c
pick the average man up by the
scruff OF the neck and tess him out
of the window.
A Well Preserved Figure.
A big, glossy black fellow is Rez
Mcdonald, OF powerful and beauti
full curves, with muscles that ripple
smoothly beneath his satin skin. Mr.
Middleton you that the most
remarkable thing about the old
champion is the way in which he
has kept his conformation, and a kin
y layman explains that that mean
his curves. In other words, Rex has
a well-preserved figure. Except fol
a circle OF gray hairs around one eye
you would never suspect tht the one.
time champion of champions is an
old, old horse. as age goes in the
equine world.
Then a bride is brought and Rex
Is led out to a place called the com
mons, which looks remarkably like
! an ordinary vacantsse. As he stands
with head erect and neck arched his
red nostrils dilated. he looks less
than ever like a 22-year-old. . Then
a trainer gets on his back, and you
see the fun beauty Of the horse, as
he steps off. lifting his feet high
every line Of him vibrant with life
and spirit and the splendid grace Of
power. A picture Of Rex Melon
aid. taken In his prime. does not
seem o~verdone now.
