Because the August evening

ST IoRSES chosen for the military
II service" said an old artillery
man, SHOW marvellous intelli-
gence and qulckness in adapting them
selves to its requirements. Every ar
tilleryman knows that they learn the
bugle calls and the evolutions sooner,
as a rule than the average recruit.
"They quickly acquire n uniform gait,
which is about the same as the route
step or usual marching step. IL the
horses did not fall habitually into ths
same gait as the infantry there would
he varying distances between the dif-
fcrent arms of the service. In the
drills in the artillery service the horses
will preserve their alignment as well as
the infantry ranks.
at is remarkable how quickly the
army horse learns the bugle calls and
their significance. Let the first note OF
the feed or water call be sounded, ana
instantly there will be stamping, kick
ing and neighing among the horses lin
patient for that call to be answered.
"Once during storm at night In our
camp our horses were seized with such

terror that those Of nearly every bat
terry broke loose and went scattering
about in their fright. Next morning
there was a wild rush by the artillery
men to capture horses for use. All was
excitement, and the still alarmed horses
refused to be taken.
IAN officer ordered the bugler to sound
the feed call. He gave the call, and
instantly horses from every direction
came dashing in to that battery and the
equine discipline was soon restored.
when 1t comes to battle the trained
army horse seems to know everything
that is going on and the reason for 1t
and does his duty nobly. He enters into
the spirit Of the fight like his human
comrades.
"a horse in one of our ba tteries during
the Murfreesboro fight was hit by q
piece of shell which split his skull The
driver turned him loose, but he wallShd
up to the side Of the gun and watchAn
the firing. and when shot was firdr

note It's effect on the enemy. When a
shell would burst near by he would turn
his head and look at It.
when he saw the team he had been
working with up to the time of his
wound driven back for a renewal OF am
muntion for the battery he ran to his
old place and galloped back with the
rest. When an officer pushed him aside
he gazed at the new horse with a sor-
rowful expression in his eyes. Then he
seemed to reaHZe that the glory of battle
was no more for him, and he walked

| The men declared that II was a broken
heart, not his wound, that killed him.
During a fierce charge of Confed-

driven back. The horse the officer had
ridden was a magnificent animal, and he
had not been taught to retreat Rider
less. he kept on his way, and as he
dashed through our battery the sight
OF him was indescribably grand.
| His nostrls were extended wide, his
eyes flashed, and he clutched his bit
determinedly in his teeth as he came on
! like the wind, his saddle flaps flying
until It seemed as IL he were himself
flying instead Of madly running. Every
man gave him room as he dashed along.
| An officer shouted that he would give

beast and his riderless charge that no

sped on his way, disappearing in the
blue distance"
