Spur a horse? You're joking, Sir.

my heels out and my toes in, but II
you'll look again, sir, you'll see that
there's no rowels in them. Same way
with my whip. It's restful like for the
hand. and I'd touch my horses flank
with the handle end, to signal him,
but as for hitting him-why, there

about Miss Millicent. Came Of a horse
family, Kentucky born, and what she
didn't know about horses-why, she'd
talked horse since she was a baby,
and her father, Colonel Emery, owned
the finest stud in Lexington. Miss Mil

that a man who couldn't ride was only
half masculine. And riding's more
than sticking on and waving the reins

CRATER CRACKED BY SNOW
Rumbllnes Of VesuvIus Not a Sign Of
Eruption, According to Famous
Expert.

Heavy snow which this year COW
cred Vesuvius has caused considerable
cracks around the crater Of the vol
a and serious collapses of earth
and rocks into the interior, accom-
panied by heavy rumblings. The loud
est Of these roars, however, was caus-
ed by a great mass Of basalt, which,
after having remained isolated for
some time on the top Of the crater,
rolled not down the crater, but down
the mountain outside, its dark outline
showing up against the bed Of snow.
Professor Mercalli, director Of the
Vesuvius Observatory, and his assis-
tant, Professor Malladra, succeeded in
reaching the top of the abyss and the
latter descended by ropes into that
crater, which became extinct after the
eruption Of 1905, and fond It filled with
snow, Of which only the upper strata
was beginning to melt under the in
fuence OF the sirocco, while those be-
meath showed no sign Of dissolving.
This proves" explained Professor
Mercalli, that the zone Of fire must
be at a considerable distance from the
bottom Of this crater, obstructed by
the voluminous basaltic matter which
fell during the last eruption, when the
cone formed in 1879 subsidized. This is
sufficient to disprove any alarmist re
ports, spread especially abroad, to the
effect that Vesuvius Is giving signs O
serious activity.
"Of course, a return to activity II
