important information for Which Con-
duetor Of indianapolis Car Held
the Passengers.

The South East street car was hur-
hying on its way toward the end OF
the line. Near the ten hundred block
the single line branches out into
switch. The cars slow up and the
passengers, generally known person
ally by the conductor, often have time
to exchange pleasantries as the cars
pass. A German woman was on the
car coming downtown the other day
AS the car slid on the switch and
started to pass the other she got up
excitedly and waved toward the car
headed for the end of the line.
"Oh, Charlie! Oh, Charlie!" she
shouted at a youth on the other
car. evidently her son, on his way
home. Charlie did not catch the sig
nal at first, and the cars gathered
speed
Charlie! Charlie!" came the voice,
this time more insistent. Then Char
lie looked around and saw the other
car going off the switch, with the
woman still waving excitedly
The motorman was aroused by this
time and, thinking that the summons
was urgent, stopped the car and
Charlie jumped off and made a bee
line for mother.
She met him at the door. i Just
wanted to say that the key Is unGer

And Charlie jumped off, waved at his
conductor and caught his car amid the
cheers of the ether passengers.-ln

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called nation
of pie eaters. Today a more appro-
pirate term would be a nation of ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part is due 70

the American public to this tropical

1Ru c. NJ ROMMEL.

(By G.. NJ. ROMMEL+)
The development of types of light
horses has been notable in America.
In colonial days the Narragansett
PAGER was a famous type, and later
came the Morgan, the standard bred,
and the saddle horse. The specialize
ton of these light types is national
trait, and in spite of importations from
abroad we have still chung to the
native types and have developed them.
In respect to the draft horse, on the
other hand we have, with only one ex-
ception-the Conestoga draft horse
relied entirely on the transplanting OF
foreign breeds for our supply. Since
the Conestoga horse has vanished
completely, leaving no discernlDle
traces on the native stock, we have no
native material from which to build
up breeds of draft horses.
In the matter of light horses, how
ever, we are especially fortunate in
having types which have been de-
veloped from stock brought to the
country during a period covering some
three hundred years, little of which
was cold-blooded. This stock and the
descendants from it have left a pro
geny which contains probably smaller
amount of cold blood than that of any
European country. From 1t have de-
seconded the types and breeds men
toned, and in it the country has I'M
equalled possibilities for further de-
velopment.
The last century was as momentous
in the development of horse breeding
in the United States as in material,
financial and practical development.
Messenger, imported in 1888, and JUS
tin Morgan, foaled in 1888, were Just
beginning to make an impression on
the horse stock when the eighteenth
century closed Lady Suffolk, 2:29R,
trotted the first mile under 2:30, at
the Beacon course in Hoboken on
October IS, 1915; Alix made her rec
ord of 2:O3% at Galesburg, September
10, 1894. and Lou Dillon finally got
within the two-minute mark at Mem
phis nine years later-only three
years after the nineteenth century
closed
Denmark, the foundation side of the
breed of American saddle horses, was
foaled in 1889, and Hambletonian 10,
the foundation sire of standardbreds,
lust ten years later. The Morgans,
therefore, had some fifty years start
over the Hambletoniansg and Den
marks, and it is not surprising that
fifty years ago they shared with the
thoroughbreds the first place in popu-
lar esteem.
With the development of speed in
the light harness race horse the supe-
rior qualities of the descendants of
Hambletonian 10, and his sons be-
came recognized, and for time the
tendancy to concentrate this blood
