Editor of The Palladium:

Editor of The Palladium:
If, in Richmond, there are officers
whose business 1t is to prevent cruelty
to animals, they should certainly
have their attention called to the prac-
tise Of certain people of refining their
horses heads so high as to make them
suffer. Some horses seem to endure
1t because they have learned that
their manifestation of pain has re-
ceived no attention; most others be-
come more or less nervous and lima
tured.
If it could be enforced there should
be law requiring that those who
rein their horses to an unnatural posi-
ton should themselves be refined in
like manner-with iron bits in their
mouths and their heads pulled up and
back in a painful position, in which
the suffering would increase with
each hour, for as long as they kept
their horses in such position.
1t would be novel and instructive
sight to witness these persons going
along the street with their heads
forcibly pulled back and up, so they
could not help themselves, or see
where they were going.
The horse Is the noblest of our do
nestle animals, and humane people
would rather see him killed than abus-
ed To wilfully cause pain indicates
a bad disposition.

OLD TALLY STICKS.

it was the custom to keep the national
accounts.
The tallies were notched sticks Of
seasoned willow or hazel, the notch on
the edge representing the particular
amount-the smallest for pence, a
larger notch for shillings and the larg.
est for pounds.
The system, which was first intro
duced by the Normans in the year 1860,
was not finally abolished until the
reign Of William ", and then only
with disastrous results. An order was
promulgated that the accumulated tai

or other the stove became choked, the
paneling caught fire. and in the end

ster hall, was destroyed.
Some years ago a number of these
old tally sticks were discovered in

WHERE DO You LIVE7

Asked that question, you would give
the name of the town in which or near
which you reside.
But that is not where you live. That
is merely the place where you are
staying. You live in a world apart
from your daily abode. For instance:
Some live in a world of leisure.
They live a lounging sort of exist
ence, lolling through the hours, taking
the line Of least resistance, choosing
the things that make for luxury and
ease. Caring only for themselves, dodg-
ing all hardness, they seek the pam
pered way.
Others live in a world Of action.
They are restless, unquiet agitated.
Rowing in spirit, ambitious Of doing,
they are incessant, brisk, lively. They
go the pace.
Some live in a world of dissipation.
These walk daily the primrose path
Of dalliance. They cry: LET us chase
the winged butterfly of pleasure!
Watch the dryads dance! Listen to
the patter of the fountain! Eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow we der
Some live in world of thought
The mind to them a kingdom is.
Plying alike those who daily and those
who riot, theirs is the world Of INTEL
lect In that world they live, move
and have their being. They are the
rare people who are good company for
themselves
Others live in a world of feeling.
Though easily moved, they are slow
Of action, enjoying the mere exercise
of their emotions. They are quite
ready to laugh with those who laugh
and mourn with those who mourn, but
slow to dry the mourner's tear. Hav-
ing keen sensibilities, each new sensa-
ton gives them delight
Some live in a world Of service.
They ask nothing better than the
chance to aid their fellows, and they
give to that service the best-them-
selves. Kindness and good will, char
ity and helpfulness distinguish their
lives.
Others live In a world Of sacrifice.
These are they who find their high
est joy, their deepest sense of living.

BEN F. CALDWELL.

Ben. F. Caldwell, who has been a
conspicuous leader in Democratic poll

public career more than thirty years
ago as member of the county board
of supervisors. After serving several

Puzzles From the Greek,

If two are a few. why not three; If
three. why not four. and by a gradual
~ advancing increment of number why
not 10000, or any other number? Or,
again. If the loss Of single hair does
not make a man bald. why should the
loss Of two. Of three. and so on. and
inferentially the loss Of all?
If, then, no addition or subtraction
of unit can transform a small num-
Der Of wheat grains into a heap or a
full head of hair into bald head, how
is it possible that either transition
should ever be accomplished?
Take grain of millet out OF bushel
and let it fall on the ground. and it
makes no noise. Take every grain in
succession Of 10000, let the same hap
pen. and no sound is heard. Then COL

Quarterback Job
Is a. Conundrum.

I n attempting the solution of the
quarterback problem. difficulty Of
an entirely different nature from that
of picking out star players confronts
us. | refer to the different systems Of
play and the different ways that teams
use their qaurters nowadays. Formerly
the question of how the quarter handled
his ball from snapper to gunner entered
very largely in the determination of his
fitness for premier honors. But more
and more each year We see teams dis
pensiug with the intermediate handling
of the ball by the quarter, and on some
teams-Tech and Auburn. for instance
the quarterback scarcely eyer relays
the snap,
On such teams there is little or no
real distinction between the quarter
and the fullback, or any other of the
backs. To be sure, they have to be
called something in the official lineup
and so the coach of such a team picks
out some one man and calls him the
quarterback; sometimes, perhaps, be-
cause he is the man who gives the
signals, or because he plays rear guard
or the defense, or because another back
does most Of the line bucking (for
which reason the other man is deiiomi-
mated fullback). which necessarily
leaves the title OF quarter for the first

pair of guards for our team Is a
profound puzzle. Hardly Southern
team is without at least one man who
mas some claim on this position.
Probably the best OF the lot is Thig-
pen. Of Auburn. This chap is well
unalified in every respect TO hold down
the job, and If Auburn were not SO well
fortified with tackles I daresay we
wouId see him playing this position on
the Orange and Blue lineup. Guards
have little opportunity 10 show of or
pull brilliant stunts. Steadiness and
good. consistent, hard work are the
,afssngs that are needed in a man IL he is
to p7sM the position to the satisfaction
OF his coaches. These qualities Thig-
peu possesses to an eminent degree.
