A Misreading,

They who call the new currency

They are like the children in the
Sunday School,"
The speaker was Senator Shat
roth. He continued:
''The superintendent of Sunday
School repeated to the children the
text, Arise and take the young child
and his mother, and flee into Egypt.
Then the superintendent showed
large picture illustrating this text
in bright colors.
Isn't the picture finer he said.
Here is the mother Here is the
young child. There's Egypt in the
distance. Isn't it finer
''The children, however, looked
disappointed, and finally little boy

HORSES HOOPS GROW
TO A FOOT IN LENGTH

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. 1S.-An ami
NAL resembling a horse, yet lacking
many equine characteristics, was led
down Main street late yesterday by a
Deputy Sheriff and taken to livery
stable to be cared for by humane au-
thorities. The seizure by the au-
thorities revealed a case of cruel
treatment which has caused aston
ishment and indignation.
Fourteen years ago William H.
Moore, contractor, was killed in a
runaway accident. His widow, Sa-
rah Moore, said nobody should ever
ride behind the animals again and
that they should never leave the
barn in which they were kept.
She and her son, wilbur Moore,
an electrician, have kept the animals
confined in the same barn in the
rear of their home, stones throw
from the retail business district. One
of the horses died two years ago.
The other is still alive, but so ema-
ciated and deformed from long con-
finement and lack of exercise that it
looks very little like a horse.
Never having been shod for four
teen years, the hoofs, like nails,
have kept growing until they are
nearly a foot long. The horses legs
are thin and the animal is scarcely
able to stand. The horse is practi-
cally blind from standing so long. in
darkness.
The humane authorities have filed
affidavits against Mrs. Moore and
her son, charging them with cruelty
to animals.

BOYS BODY MUMMIFIED
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS

New York, Dec. ia 500-year-
old boy came to New York the other
day in a wooden box 10X12x6 inches.
The boy was IL years old when
mummified, some five centuries ago.
The mummy was found in the noun
tains of Peru by Thomas G. Taylor,
of Montreal, and was admitted to
the country without payment of du-
ty under the clause in the tariff pro-
viding for the free entry of antiqui-
ties.
Mr.. Taylor said he thought the
mummy was that of an Inca boy.
The centuries it had spent within
the tomb had failed to dim the lus-
ter of its short black hair.
The body was embalmed with the
head drawn down to the knees. and
had shrunk to but a fraction of its
original proportions.
Binding cloths, rotted by time,
still chung to the body.
