GREAT MEN LOVE ANIMALS

1t is contended by many careful OBJ
servers and close students that most
all of the distinguished men and wo-
men have been and are kind to ami
horses. Napoleon, Gladstone, Washing
ton; Jefferson, Paine. Lincoln, Garfield
and others were fond of horses Gen
Horace Porter, in his book entitled
with General Grant,"
says that once in the field Grant had
horse. At that time he said:
IF people only knew how much
more they could get out of a horse
by gentleness than by harshness, thew
would save great deal of trouble
both to the horse and the man. A
horse is particularly intelligent ami
nal; ne can be made to do almost any
enough TO let him know what is re-
CURED. Some men, for instance, when
they want to lead a horse forward,
turn towards him and stare him in tn q
race. He, of course. thinks they are
barring MS way and stands still. If
ana move on he would follow natur-
any. am looking forward longingly

chief pleasure from sitting in a big

If one is kind to his horse he is
apt to be kind to his wife and child
ren and to other people. The boy or
Girl who is fond of pets is sure to be
liked not only by the pets, but by
people also.-R. A Dague

THE RACES OF PEACHES

Prof. c. P. Close, formerly of Della

tifcation expert Of the u. s. depart

claSsines peaches in this way:
The peach originated in central and
southern Asia, and is divided into five
botanical races. namely:
D North China race, (2) South
emma race; 90 PeenTo race, (D
Spanish race, 90 Persian race
The North China race is rather large

obviate pointed pit. To this race be

The South China race is medium
sized, lopsided oval, with long drawn
out projecting tip. The pit is of the
same shape. This race is not com
monty cultivated, but is represented
by Climax, Early China and Honey.
Peen-To race is of a fiat toma
to shape s-lT3.om cultivated except in
the southern states. There are 20
more varieties, among which are Bid :

large roundish oblong pit, with small

NEW YORK, Sept 26-In a care
fully prepared statement, issued by
J. p. Morgan & Co, Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
the First National Bank and the Ma
tional City Bank, the institutions which
constitute the American group for Chi
nese business, ii was made plain that
the acceptance by China of the offer of
a $50,000,000 loan, negotiated by A.
Wendell Jackson, an American engi-
neer, and financed by Charles Birch
Crisp & Co. of London, had definitely
ended any possibility Of the fiotation
of the $500, 900, 900 loan which was to
have been divided equally among the
United states and five other powers.
The Chinese authorities were willing
TO agree to the terms offered by the
international syndicate, but refused to
allow the foreigners to exercise the
desired degree of supervision over the
expenditure of the proceeds of the loan
While the local bankers who have
been working with the representatives
of the five other nations concerned had
no hesitation in saying that the $780,
100000 has been made impossible by
the arrangements concluded with the
Independent bankers, there is a strong
belief in local financial circles that
eventually the entire matter will be
reopened as a result of China's prob
able inability to obtain anything like
the huge amount needed for her reha-
bilitation plans without the assistance
of the state departments, which have
been working in harmony with the
bankers for more than six months.

that the rebels are rapidly disinte-

which will fall easy prey to the gov
ernment troops. Zapata, to the south.
is again showing signs OF unpleasant
activity, but Brigadier- General Steev-
er having reported "all quiet along
