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 way to break horse
of kicking, according to a Milford let
ter to the Wilmington (Del) News.
Spears tells the following story: 81
filled 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-
I'd 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 it was SEEN"

The Blue and the Gray.

Gettysburg, Pa.-Over the field OF
Gettysburg, where the blue and gray
fought fifty years ago, the soldiers
of peace from the North and South,
the East and West, trooped Monday
to the tented city of brown. 1t was an
army united in sentiment and united
in fact, for the blue linked arms with
the gray. They marched the dusty
road together from the village, they
sat down at the same mess tables and
they talked over the war. II there
was any rancor in any heart, any feel
ing of bitterness, it did not come to
the surface, and over the broad ex-
panse of the city reunions of those
who had won and those who had tried
to win went on hour after hour.
Officials of the regular army in
charge of the camp Monday estimated
that nearly fifteen thousand veterans
arrived Monday, bringing the total
close to forty thousand, probably the
greatest army ever assembled on
Gettysburg field after Lee and Meade
left it to glory and to history.

CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BABIES
Before All Things, the Need Of Pure
Milk Comes First, According to
All Authorities.

1t is estimated that a baby nursed

times the chances to live that bottle

therefore, are advised to encourage
mothers to make every effort to carry
OUT this most important maternal
duty.
A clean milk supply is a fundamen-
tai need. The ideal is: Nothing short
of clean milk for everybody. But the
need for the prompt remedy of bad
milk conditions Is more urgent in Its
relation to the welfare of babies than
to that Of adults, since dirty milk Is
largely responsible for the occurrence
of diarrhoe and enteritis, the most fire.

The remedy lies In the intelligent and
effective inspection ofo farms, the
means of transportation, and the
shops where milk is sold, and in ordi'
nances governing the sale of dipped

QUEER OCCUPATION FOR POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to
Make Both Ends Meet With His
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.
81 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 l said to him:
"'Well, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
lions needed?' .r.
NO. said the old poet. No, indeed.
I'm working now. I'm working for
George w. Childs. He pays me $50 a
month
Good said |. 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
ments and so forth"

MEXICAN FEDERAls MAY SHOOT INTO e. PASO
Reported That Intervention viii Be
Sought If Rebels Capture Juarez.
Twenty-Eight Men Executed.

Ell Paso, Tex.-FederaI soldiers In
Juarez are threatening to shoot into
Ell Paso to force Intervention in the
event they are defeated by Villas
rebels, according to reports received
from agents of the Ell Paso detective
department, now working in Juarez.
Villa has let it be known through the
rebel junta that federal officers, fall
ing into his hands, will be executed.
Intervention is preferable to execu-
ton, the federals are said to declare.
The federal artillery has guns plant
ed opposite the Union passenger sta
ton, and should they be unable to
hold the trenches where these guns
are stationed, it is asserted they will
turn them across the river, sweeping
the apartment house district on West
Missouri street, overlooking the Rio
Grande and the business district, all
within range of the large field guns.
Sappers of the federal forces COM
menced erecting fortification in the
center of Juarez, using heavy bridge
timbers. Noncombatants were again
warned Monday by American Consul
T. D. Edwards to leave Juarez at once
and remain away for at least eight
days.
Irregulars under General Salazar
were ordered out to the foothills,
southwest of Juarez, from which di.
rection the rebels will approach to
open the attack.
The warning was delivered by Sam,
uel Navarro of Villas staff, through
American Consul T. D. Edwards. Ma
yarro telephoned General Scott that
Villa would make every effort to pre-
vent firing into Ell Paso.
Twenty-eight men were executed in
Juarez Monday. The victims were
said to be men arrested during Sat
urday and Sunday nights in connec
ton with the discovery. of dynamite
beneath the Juarez federal building
and the finding of struggled arms
and ammunition in several residences
