Troubles Start Early.

AnXiety's troubles began early When
he was a yearling on Mr.. Turney's big
stock farm, near Paris. KY, he collided
with a fence, fracturing his skull SO
badly that his life was despaired of.
His owner ordered that he be put. J.. out
of misery with the least possible delay,
but Tom Moran, Turney's foreman, who
years, had taken a fancy to the colt,
and begged for a chance to try to pull
him through. The. task that faced
Moran would have discouraged a skill
and handling accomplished what had
been considered practically impossible,
and in a few months a complete recov-
cry had been effected.
As Anxfety's sire was Electioneer, a
New York Futurity winner and famous
racer, Moran determined that the youns
horse, after such a miraculous escape
from death. was destined to have sue
cessful racing career, and, accordingly,
he set about giving him careful prepa
ration for his maiden effort.
Smashes Into Wagon.
When the Turney stable went north last
wear Anxiety accompanied it. At Grand
Rapids he was. being given workout for
a race in which he was entered the follow
ing day when he was the victim of another
accident that came as close to resulting
fatally as the first one had. A farmer
had driven on the track at the stretch
turn just as the colt was tearing off a
fast five-eighths of a mile. A collision
was inevitable and the Turney horse
crashed into the wagon with such force
that he was almost impaled on one of
the shafts. The wooden pole entered his
side for distance of foot and abruptly
snapped. Moran again came to the res
cue, extricated the shaft and set about
curing the wound, but horsemen who saw
Anxiety then shook their heads and said
that even though he should get well the
accident had just about spoiled any pros
pect he ever had for successful career
on the track

Turney. The colt. of course, was
through for that season, but when the
Turney stable came north again last

NO AGE LIMIT FOR GENERALS

ZURICH, Switzerland, Dec. s.
While Austrian trade and industry
generally are suffering great depres-
sion from the war, the little noun
ainous crownland of Vorarlberg, on
the borders of Switzerland is in a
most prosperous condition.
In Vorarlberg are scores of small
embroidery factories now crowded
with orders from Swiss agents, who
can yet the work done thirty per
cent cheaper there than in their
own country, because the Austrian
crown, usually roughly equivalent to
franc in value, is now worth only
seventy centimes in Swiss money
And meanwhile thousands of Swiss
workers are out of employment.
Valenciennes, the center of the
French embroidery industry. is oc-
cuLi,d by the Germans, and Plauen
in Saxony, the chief center of Ger
manys embroidery trade can no
| longer export any wares. Conse-
quentIy Switzerland's embroidery
exports are rising r. leaps and by
bounds, in spite of the general de-
preston everywhese resulting from
the war. Last year the total exports
of embroideries amounted to some
| twenty-four million dollars; this
year they will probably reach forty
] miil;cns. The bulk of the gods are
going to the United States and ia
Great Britain. The Swiss trader is
profiting both ways; in cheaper la
Dor and comparative freedom from
competition.
