TIME desire for friendship is
strong in every human
heart. We crave the COM

The beloved Is consciously or

and in the contemplation of the

mind has created, the lover is
raised to heights otherwise i'm

Should the beloved pass from

Watch your chance and seize 1t quick!
That's the way to do it.
If you don't 1t may be you
All your life will rue it.
To rue it means to be sorry that
you didn't do it. Little Mite, the baby
of Danny Meadow Mouse, who had
run away and been caught by cruel
Black Pussy. saw his chance when

her back, swelled her tail to several
times its natural size, glared at him
with eyes that looked to him as If
they actually snapped fire. spit as only
Black Pussy can, and started straight
for that foolish little dog.
Little Mite didn't stop to see what
happened then. 1t was his chance,
the Merry Little Breezes had made
for him, and he took 1t. He scuttled
out sight in the tall grass. He heard
great yelping and a "ki-yi-Y" grow

1t was the little dog running as IL for

In an age (which from one angle
may be termed an epoch of the "horse
versus the automobile" there is no
gainsaying the fact that the equine
Is in far less demand than he was
even few years ago. The runabout
has supplanted the pony-drawn ve-
hicle, the electric has taken the place
of the time honored chaise, limousines
have relegated the handsome turnouts
houses, while the big dapple grays
have stepped aside to make way for
the motor truck.
Yet there is one institution which
tends to perpetuate the horse and that
institution is--the circus. Other en-
terprises may discard him for motor
cars or even utilize the aeroplane, but
for all the trend of the times the
tent show maintains the fascination
Of its primitiveness by being faithful
to the horse. The largest and, in
many ways, the most famous of these
organizations is Ringing Brothers
circus. 1t is coming to Grand Forks,
Saturday, July %.
With the exception of that work
done by the working. elephants, the
entire motive power used by this NOV
ing municipality is united in 600
splendid horses. Ringing Brothers
carry tOtal or l35 eQulneS put pOr~
ton of these are Of the trained va
riety. They are among the idle rich"
of Ringlingville and do no, work. Much
might be written of this class of dumb
performers gathered from the sta bles
Of Russia, France, Spain, Germany
and England, but this story has to
deal not with the agile steed who
bears the spangled ladies Of the ring,
but with his big brothers Of the bag
gage stock"
An experience of more than thirty
years has taught Ringing Brothers to
select their wagon horses with the
greatest possible care and a fine con-
sideration for the work which these
animals are called upon to perform.
The circus horse must, obviously, be
subjected to constant variance of
feed, climate and, most dangerous of
all, an incessant change of water. In
additioi to, these trying Irregularities
the animal must be carried prac-
tically every night during approxi-'
mately 200 days of constant travel
BY process of elimintion and selec-
ton it has been found that the three
quarter grade percheron is the most
suited to circus purposes. They adapt
themselves to the cars better, worry
less than other types, and show
cheerful disposition under the most
trying circumstances. Contrary. to
popular belief it is easier to keep them
clean than a horse of darker color.
Again, it is simpler matter to match
