BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand, Something Like "Punch-
Ing Bag" Did the Business
Quite Simply.

Noah Spears, Bay Shore farmer
has discovered a way to break horse
of kicking, according to Milford let
ter to the Wilmington (Del.) News.
Spears tells the following story: u
filed stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended it from the ceiling in the
rear OF the stall by rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon it.
This large pendulum, needing only a
strong power to start it, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began to play its acrobatic
stunts upon it. At the first kick the
bag swung away, only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than it had sent This unexpect-
ed return on the part Of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder, but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal with interest. Finally the
horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless, stopped kicking
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week, but
no more use for 1t was seen"

QUEER OCCUPATION FOB POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to
Make Both Ends Meet With HE
Poetry, Went Into Commerce.

Walt Whitman wasn't as successful
as the English poet, Alfred Noyes, In
making both ends meet with his
poetry" said a Philadelphia editor
Waits muse had nothing like the
shallow, commonplace, commercial
quality OF the young Englishman's.
Il used to visit Walt Whitman in
his old age in his little two-story
wooden house in Mickle street, Cam
den. One day-it's pleasant souvenir
this, Of Old-time Philadelphia-one day
In December said to him:
" Well, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
lions needed?
No, said the old poet. No, indeed.
Pm working now. I'm working for
George W. Childs, He pays me $50 a
month.
Good! said l. And what's your
Job with Childs?'
Riding in the horse cars, said
Walt. I ride about the city, talk to
the drivers and conductors. ! find out
which Of them need winter overcoats,
and, guessing their size, notify
Childs, who fits them out forthwith.
It's easy, pleasant work, and it saves
Childs lot of trouble over measure

Shakespeare First Folio.

There appear to have been 500
copies of the Shakespeare first folio
printed, of which about 200 are known
to have survived. OF these, fewer
than 20 are are in perfect state, while
about 100 copies have sustained seri-
GUS damage at various points. The
value Of the four early folio editions
of Shakespeare is partly determined
by their pedigrees. The duke Of
Leeds owns first folio on which two
former owners, Charles Killigrew and
William Congreve, have inscribed
their names Garrick's first folio is In
the library of Queens college, Oxford.
Sir Henry Irving possessed second
folio which had belonged successfully
to Lewis Theobald, the greatest of all
Shakepeares textual critics, DR..
Johnson and Samuel Ireland. In
South Kensington museum there is a
third folio adorned with curious col
lection of autographs. At the top Of
the title page is the signature Of Leigh
Hunt, and on other portions are the
signatures Of Charles Dickens, Robert
Browning, William Wordsworth,
Charles Knight and George sHenry
Lewes. Chronicle

who had persisted In one of the ter
rife arctic blizazrds. The skeletons
were huddled together on the side of
little wind-break made up Of some
boughs and moss. A little farther on
they found another skeleton back OF
another little wind-break, where the
lonely traveller had evidently crawled
in futile effort to escape the same
blizzard. They found here the rem
nants of small tent, with few camp
utensils and a notebook SO badly
blurred that it could not be read. A
little farther away they found the pros
pector's gun. But there was nothing
to identify any Of the skeletons.

John Franklin determined upon as be-

these houses appeared to be very old,

These animals are very stupid and
also exceedingly inquisitive. Some of
them would gallop up to the party and
after due inspection quietly return to

specimens were brought back for the

parts. Some of them were as big as
silver dollar. In fact, the surviving
members of the onslaught say the
mosquitoes were so vicious that they
had to build a huge smudge fire to
keep them away from the horses. 1t
was laughable and yet at the same
time pretty hard on the poor horses.
The animals would stand in the smoke
in preference to being eaten alive by
the insects. Then they would wander
out for little grass, but in few min
utes come rushing back for the
smudge.
The men had to work with wells
over the face and gloves tied around
the wrists. Every one had to sleep in
a mosquito-proof tent in order to get
any sleep at all. While eating, it was
necessary to sit in smoke SO dense az
to be almost suffocating.
