Norway an0 Tfottine Horses.
From tales nj travel and other
sources Of information 1t appears that
Norway was one of the first countries
to develop speed In the trotting horse
which centuries ago seems to have
been common to the ma tons of north
erD Europe. Sigvried Petersen says
that as early as the beginning of the
eighteenth century there were inform
al trotting races in Christiana. The
principal name In the history of the
sport is that Of Jacob Meyer, chief of
the royal mounted militia, who was
born In 1881. He owned the noted
horse Steiner varg that on March 10,
1929 tr0tted an English mile In 2:37
and repeated in the same time. This
was faster than any hsrse had then
trotted In America. SO far as Is known.
In Sweden and In Finland the sport
of trotting horses dates back. 1t Is said.
to prehistoric times. With long win
tiers and nothing else to do the people
raced their horses to sleighs on the
fee. Sunday morning was the great
occasion. men and horses coming from
miles around to take part in or witness
the sport-New York Herald.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1914

Between June and December nearly
$50 girls were sought in Kansas City
as "missipg," having left home with
out explanation. The ages OF nearly
all of them were between Is and Il
Nearly all Of them were found. Many
were induced to 60 home. None was
found in captivity or under any sort of
restraint. A prominent representative
of the Welfare Board is quoted by a
Kansas City paper as follows:
mot nearly all the girls leave home
with men. OF course the trail away
from home leads TO man sooner or
later, but many a deserter is innocent
enough when she starts out She is
just tired of her own dull fireside. She
has a job downtown and she believes II
she gets room some place else she
will be more independent.
$50 she goes to the cheap rooming
house-the Matching ground OF evil.
She gets into hall bedroom or into a
squald little fiat with some other girl,
and she finds that her ST or W a week
dosen't bring her any more brightness
than she had at home. The home re-
straint is gone, aud she takes the first
chance she gets to dine in chop suey
cafe or carbaret. The rest of the
way is plain.
"The police says leaving home usual
ly leads to restitution. OF all the mis-
sing girls picked up on the North Side
only two have had any money. One
had So and the other a."
Here we nave the story OF the real
white slave" victim of Incidence,
weakness, love of adventure, unhappi-
ness or misinformation. While the
catch-penney dramatists and the NOV
ingpicture producers are trading in rid
iculous melodrama, here lies the real
"human interest story almost untouch-
ed, and the real drama unyritten. But
it lacks two elements of popularity.
There is no villain or villainous organi-
cation for the gallery to hiss. There
are no barred doors between the
"slave" and liberty.

Farm Tax-.Sample Case.

An unusual amount OF dissatisfaction
is being expressed by taxpayers In the
town Of Ottowa, the raise over 1912 be-
ing all the way from 30 to IS per cent.
N. Foltz, prominent farmer, was over
to Dousman Wednesday and exhibited
three different tax receipts since 1909
on the same piece OF land and without
additional improvements made since
1909. In 1909 he paid S44.S3, 10 1912
slOl 10 and In 1913 Sl57.66. May be
Mr. Foltz wasn't mad clean through
and through. He paid over so per
cent, more tax than last year and over
800 per cent, more than IL years ago.
Where will IL end? is the cry Of the
taxpayer 1t will end just as soon as
the people want it to.-Dousman Index.

london's Youthful Boobies.

Has anybody noticed the number OF
youthful policemen about London re.
Gently? asks the Chronicle. OF course,
1t is the result of the grant of one day
a week rest to the force and the con-
sequent enlistment of new recruits
One thing Is particularly striking-the
extraordinary resemblance Of these
young, slender, clean-shaven London
boobies to the pictures of the Roman
soldier holding his post at Pompeii
amidst the shower of ashes and burn
ing lava. The resemblance Is even
more vivid in the case of the city than
of the metropolitan police on account
of the Roman character Of the city's
helmet.

A Year OF Huerta.

The close OF Huerta S first year points
to the conclusion that there sits in the
City Of Mexico man with an unusual
capacity for staying there. He has
COPIED with host of difficulties; with
lack OF credit, with lack Of a well Or
ganized Federal army, with the aversion
of our own administration, with the
bad impression left by his manner of
superseding Madero, no less than with
a strong sectional revolt, inspired by
an upheaval in popular thought and
led by rough and ready soldier of
singular ability.
What has been the net RESULT He
has lost the cities OF Juarez, Chihua-
hua and Durango, besides some small
or places. He has retakep Torreon,
! held fast to Monterey, Tampco and
Mazatlan; he continues to hold al the
important centers on or south OF line
drawn from Mazatlan on the west coast
to Tampico on the Gulf OF Mexico.
Thus he remains master In the region
containing three-quarters OF the chief
cities and the bulk OF the population
of the country.
He has obtained Official recognition
from various powers, notably from
England. He has won unofficial sup
port from strong interests in both Eng
land and japan. Most difficult OF all,
he seems to have retained his mastery
over his own adherents and kept his
hold with the whip hand.
The difficulties which have kept him
on the defensive have prevented Huer-

Fliuht Of Flies.

That the fly is peripatetic and
what the politicians call good mixer
is well known. The linear extent Of
his organizations Is, however, still a
matter of dispute. And as he certainly
carries with him and distributes infec.
tion, whenever there is any to be had,
the more or less exact determination
of his maximum range is of great prac-
tical importance. At one time he was
thought to be very much of home
body" never wandering more than a
few hundred or thousand feet from
his birthplace. Then observations
made in England and elsewhere threw
doubt upon this conclusion, and 1t was
finally proved trat he may travel at
least a mile from home.
Now comes along Prof c. F. Hodge
with a 600 per cent. extension Of the
record, and the opinion that flies ARE
able to travel much farther than is
commonly supposed."-New York Eve.

is a tall, lanky old mare. Once she
was bay in color, but the years have
added gray hair until now she Is
roam. Being SO long-legged she strides
along at an amazing pace which her
mate, Balaam, little donkey, finds il
hard to keep up with. Balaam, like
Sheba, is full OF years. Once his
glossy brown coat was the pride OF
some Mexicans heart, but time has
added to his color also. and now he
is blue. His eyes are sunken and dim
his ears no longer stand up in true
donkey style, but drOop dejectedly. He
has to trot his best to keep up with
Sheba's slowest stride. About every
three miles he balks, but little Cora
Belle doesn't call it baking, she says
Balaam has stopped to rest, and they
sit and wait till he is ready to trot
along again. That is the kind of lay
out which drew up before our door
