Each thought of all fishermen he was

Better Horses

Several million dollars have
been spent in the United States
for horses for war purposes.
The greatest demand, ofcourse,
is for stout, strong horses ca
pable of work as cavalry
mounts or for artillery. The
entire country has been gone
over two or three times by buy
ers from different countries,
and still the demand has not
been filled. The draining of
the west of horses means that
in the rehabilitation a better
breed of horse will be produc- d.
1t is this that sounds the death
knell of the bronco. The gov
eminent has been working for
years encouraging the breeding
of better horses. AS the de-
mand for horses to replace
those sold for war purposes in
creases it will be animals of
better breeds which will take
their places.

he listened, however. was amazing.

Quest strolled thoughtfully around
the room. glancing out of each of the
windows in turn. He kept close to
the wall, and when he had finished
he drew out magnifying glass from
his pocket and made a brief examine

questions of the curator, pointed out
one Of the windows to Lenora and
whispered few directions to her.
She at once produced what seemed to

was carrying, and hurried into the
garden.

Quest stood over the box for mo-

at 1t in perplexity. The professor

turned away with a shrug of the
shoulders.

device has swept across the
country, curious-minded folk
have been trying to discover
the meaning and origin of the
phrase. IL has dawned on the

for Nickel" suppose to have
been in vogue somewhere or
other before it won universal
recognition by being coupled
with the ultra modern auto bus.
But where the term came from
nas remained a mystery. Now
comes a retired cavalry officer
with magnificent name of
George Washington Lee, and in
a letter to the New York Sun
calls the attention to this little
Jingle, which has long been
common, he says, among the
French-speaking negroes of
Louisiana:
