found In the east long ago. The little
rooms look out over small balcony
into the yard. Underneath the rooms
the cattle are kept.
'All the buildings, with the excep-
ton of the mosques and the towers,
are built of clay, and the method Of
the builders is simplicity itself. A
wooden framework is put up. and In
the spaces between the wooden
boards are pressed sun dried balls Of
mud. Then over all comes more mud,
and in a very short time house is
built and ready for occupation
Miss Christie was fortunate enough
to see the emir going to mosque and
she also photographed him, which is
considered something OF a feat, for
no one ever knows which Of the
many mosques he intends to enter. 1t
was a Friday, and crowd Of sub.
jects gathered near the mosque with

HANG UP GIRL TO BEAT HER?
Georgian Is Charged With lnhuman
Punishment Of His Young
Daughter.

Augusta, Ga.-Charges that he fas-
tened chain around the neck of his
fifteen-year-old daughter, suspended her
from meat hook in his butcher
shop and beat her with the butt end
of whip until the blood flowed from
her wounds, were made against j. j..
Johnson in the recorders court.
Policeman Moore, who arrested
Johnson, stated that he was called by
neighbors who heard the girls
scream. The policeman said that when
he reached the market he found John
sons daughter, Nellie, suspended
from q meat hook. suspended by a
chain which had been wrapped twice
around her neck and locked Moore
said that the girls arms and neck
showed evidence of severe beating.
She was exhausted when released
Johnson said he whipped his
daughter because he could not con-
trol her. His case was continued. One
of the specific charges against him is
assault with intent to murder.

bred for that purpose. In 1876, when
the first games Of polo were played
In New York. 1t was possible to buy
ponies for prices ranging from $35 to
500. Mr.. Herbert once bought pony
for $35 that afterward developed into
crackerjack and his value scared to
$4,000. or course that was an eXcep-
ton. Nowadays ponies suitable for
polo cost from $500 to 1000 eSch.
When Mr.. Whitney prepared for his
campaign in England in 1903 he spent
$S5, 900 for ponies. Since then he has
added many more to his string and
has spent at least $4,000. 1t will be
seen by this that he has expended in
the neighborhood of $l25,000 for po
MES alone. One Of his ponies cost
him $4,000. This was the high-water
mark paid for any pony, but many
good ponies have cost $4,000 The
duke Of Westminster has spent in the
neighborhood Of s125,00O for his ae
gregation of ponies. The ponies that
we're used in the international matches
were made up in large part Of those
owned by Mr.. Whitney and the duke
of Westminster Several ponies. how
ever, have been donated for the use
of the players by various Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
the game.
ut takes several years OF hard
training to make pony suitable for
pole playing. He is usually bought
when three years of age and for two
years is taught the elementary parts
of the game, such as not TO shy at the
mallet. to follow the ball. to break"
quickly and to obey the slightest touch
of the reins on his neck. Most ponies
are trained SO that the rider may
guide them by simply touching them
on the right or left side OF the neck
with the reins.
Many persons not familiar with polo
consider the fastest pony the best
pony. This is an erroneous idea
While speed Is an essential quaifica-
ton for a pony, he is utterly worth
less If he does not know the game
thoroughly and is not subject to in
slant control. II his speed cannot be

Mendoza, Ill-There will be no more
fishing in the Mendoza creek for
months to come. 1t is improbable that
the fish will be able to see the bait
for several weeks. The banks recent
ly were lined with hundreds of dead
fish and the creek was full OF others
dead drunk.
Because of failure to pay the gov
eminent tax the Mendoza brewery was
closed and 1851 barrels of beer were
emptied into the creek
An hour later a conglomeration Of
queer sounds arose from the creek,
from the mewing of cat fish to the
deep bass of the bass. Several tur-
Ties were seen disporting themselves
absurdly on log and three bullfrogs
staggered arm in arm down Main
street. until taken into custody by a
policeman. They couldn't hop, despite
the fact that they were full of them.
Many of the fish imbbed too freely
and climbed out on shore, where they
were fatally Frustrated by the heat,
Those who survived followed the beer
