The Mares of Mohammed.

In bygone days there was no more enthusiastic breeder of horses than the Prophet Mohammed. In the course of time he became the owner of vast number of mares, and the point was how to arrive at a selection of the very best. At last. says Country Life. he hit upon the following scheme: For three days and nights the mares were kept without water; then they were loosed and. as might have been expect ed. tore madly off to their usual wa tering place. Just as they were on the very brink of the water the trum- peter blew the war signal or assembly. Maddened with the thirst. the mares forgot their training. all save five. who. forgetting their own urgent need. gal loped back at once to seek their mas ters. These five mares were set apart by Mohammed as representing the pick of his stud. and from them. we are told. descended the best and nobIpst hpoo6 Of horses

Purity of the Law.

At BOdmin asSiZeS once d barr1Ster while pleading was interrupted by the judge:
 MT Carter. you are wasting the time of the court"
 'Time of the court!' retorted the truculent veteran. glaring fercely at the bench. Your lordship means your lordship's dinner!
 The judge threw up his hands in de- spair. and Carter continued his ha- rangue in peace.
 The same redOubtable advocate was on another occasion defending a man charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.
 False pretenses!" said he, with fine scorn. Why, we all make them every day, barristers and solicitors and judges-the whole lot of us! Talk of the purity of the judicial ermine"- here he pointed derisively to the learn ed judge. who sat covering on the bench-"why, it's only rabbit skin!"

ignorance of Government.

A mass" meeting held under the
auspices of the Democratic gang at
the court house last night with the
court room well filled was called to
order by "Cheerman" Fred L. Sh!nn,
who named MilIard ?. snider as mas
ter of ceremonies of the exhibition.
Mr.. Snider opened up the fault-fndtng
performance by TRADE of abuse of
the city administration and introduced
Johnson, the Democratic nominee for
mayor, who made boys talk.
Johnsons remarks were replica
of the stuff the Exponent has been
infiicting it's readers with. replete with
inputations and insinuat!ons against
the city government, although he did
declare that he could not say there was
anything wrong with the city books
and accounts.
The "tallIer" assumed that he' as
mayor would be the whole cheese, 81
elected mayor, and that other mem
bers of the Democratic ticket, if elect
ed, would be fisure-heads, and no one
doubts his assumption.
Various phases of city government
were referred to by him, but his SUI
preme ignorance of city government
was about all he brought out.
Tribute was palu me clIy, Mueh nc

in his picking ClarksburS out e. the
city above all others in the ltlited

CLARK AND Will SON
ARE AT ODDS NOW
Over Question of Repeating the
Tolls Exemption Clause in
H., Panama Canal Act. ~,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. II
when the Panama canal tolls tight
was resumed in the House today the
battle lines were drawn in this man
ner:
"Flfty-hve minutes remains for
debate on the special rule TO limit
DISCUSSION to twenty hours on the
Sims bill to repeal the exemption for
coastwise ships .
Some congressmenexpressedth tn Fiew
that the night had taken the aspect
OF a contest between the president
and Speaker Clark Tney expected
the speaker might take the floor to
personally lead the fight on the rule
or might reserve his attack for the
bill itself unless forced to the floor
to defend himself The galleries
fiIled up early. Mrs. CLARK. mad
seat in the speakers gallery.
An outburst of applause and
Shouting greeted Speaker Clark as
he assembled the rostrum promptly
at noon. He sttlIed the tumult and
at noon He stilled the tumult and the
ed. Speaker Clark warned the floor
and galleries that ian acrimonSou
and exciting debate like this should
call for perfect order. lie had some
difficulty in quelling the House but
finally succeeded
Representative Sherwood, Repuo-
lCutlS OIL OQ1Ob W61S LAC III - SpSSSt>S@'
lie urged an amendment to disman-
tie the Qualifications Of the canal AID
absolutely neutraltze it. The ad-
N instration forces opened their
ig.lt in a twelve minute speech by
Representative Adamson. He refer
red TO the arguments in favor OF the
tolls exemption as "claptrap poppy
cock and 7elusion." The Democratic
platform pledge favoring exemption,
sDtative Adamson said, was
written into the platform by lone OF
the leading friends of exemption.
president Wilson won the first
battle of his fight to repeal the Pan
ANA canal tolls exemption TO-DAY
when the House by a vote OF 2O7 to
li76 refused to continue discussion
on the rule to limit to twenty hours
tho debate on the Sims bill. Party
lines were eliminated in the vote
which was a round victory for the
leaders. The ballottng
was preceded 10y an hour of impas-
stoned speechmaking in which
;Sueaker Clark, Representative un-
derwood. Representative Fitzgerald
and other Democratic leaders voted
against the motion to cut OFF debate.
With the adoption Of the reso!u-
ton to stop debate on the rule the
next question was on the adoption or
the rule itself. Administration sup
lporters were sure of its passage. me
SPECIAL rule then was adopted 2oO
to 172. That put the Sims bill 70
reneal the exemption squarely before
the House for twenty hours debate
and protected against Intervening
motions and amendments.
