THE HORSE
BY GEORGE FITCH

HE horse is a quaint quadru-
ped with horny hoofs on his
A feet, beautiful hoFsehair tail
and a two-foot long h,sI adorned
at the end with deep expressive
nostrils as large as golf cups.
Nowadays horses are not common
and only the larger cities possess
horse garages where the animals
are stored and kept in running or
der. Once, however, they were very
plentiful and were put to q great
variety Of uses. Years ago horses
were used to haul motorless cabs
and trucks and street cars and
drays. They were also ridden and
as they have no running boards it
was novel sight to see the eques-
trians clambering aloft onto raw
boned horses padded with leather
saddles and guiding the patient
beasts about with leather reins in
stead of steering wheels.
Moreover horse races were held in
all parts Of the country at which
vast multitudes gathered and made
bets. Oddly enough, the people did
not bet on who would be killed but
on what horse would win. The
races were intensely tame, as the
animals never skidded or threw a
tire or broke their steering gears
and the swiftest of them did not at
tain speed of forty miles an hour.
The horse was, in fact, the au-
tomobile of former times. He had
a sixty-inch wheelbase, or footbase
rather, and rode exceedingly hard,
but could go over very rough coun- =
try and did not need anti-skid
chains in wet weather. He was Of
about 1-40th runabout power and
his fuel was oats which were fed
him in nosebag, instead d, from
q carbureto. He was both air and
water cooled and was controlled by
a bit throttle and a whip which
served the purpose of a spark adj
vance. He changed from low to
high speed or to reverse very read
lily, merely by command OF his
driver-which is point not yet
reached by the most ingenious Of
automobile makers.

N KEEP YOUR TEMPER. n
M n ~ " MM n a "A ~ u IS y 81 =

According to Or. Joseph Strickland
Goodall the celebrated English card
eologsst, losing your temper puts
big burden on your heart lie iilIs-
trates the enormous power Of the
heart in striking way:
Take Il twogound weight n the
ralm OF The hand, resting the elbow
upon table, and raise and lower It
from the level Of the elbow to the
shoulder This is exactly the woiN
done by the heart at each ceat. DO
this about seventy or eignty times a
minute, and see how long YOU ean
keep it up. The heart keefs 1t up
from before birth to Just after Death,
perhaps seventy years. It never
takes rest, 1t never sleeps
The heart has been known to break
from the strain of sudden emotion
Anger will increase the work of the
heart from 152 to 224 footpounds a
minute. Therefore, Keep your tenl-
ner,p Is good physiological advice.
DIR. Goodall tested the heart OF q
health man before he ran to catch q
train; it was beating seventy-six to
the minute and doing 152 foot-pounss
OF work a minute He tested 1t I'M
mediately after the run; it was beat
ing iS0 to the minute and doing $50
foot-pounds Of work a minute.

head or tail lights and without
license numbers, and if hauling a
buggy provided with tonneau
could transport four people eight
miles an hour.
Horse driving was not exciting
but the horse had his strong points.
He did not puncture and never ran
out of lubricating oil. He was also
a self-starter and had no crank, be-
ing only dangerous behind. He
lasted ten years with almost no re-
pair expenses and sometimes the
owner of horse awoke to find that
he had two horses instead of one,
the new one being of the latest
model though very small at first.
Let us admire the horse for what
he has done and let us remember
that the automobile trade would
never have prospered had the horse
not been on hand to haul the early
models home.

My wife puts out some posies every
springtime OF the year,
A lot OF new doodaddles--both
Their names and colors queer.
Wa try to rave about 'em. but 1t al
ways seems TO me
That they lack lot Of being just
what flowers ought to be.
So last spring, when we're buying
stuff TO fix the garden up,
says to her, Melissa, seems to me
my little cup
OF Joy would be much fuller IL
we'd stop this modern craze
And get some good old 'zinnies'
like our mothers ust to raise"
Melissa she consented and we
bought lot o. seed,
And every plant just bumped itself
and prospered like weed.
And early in the summer days they
started in to bloom
We giggled like pair of kids and
hollered, "Give 'em room!
Git out the way, you critters with
the foolish Latin names,
Protect your pallid faces from the
Horid, Haunting flames
OF these beloved standbys of our
simpler, sweeter days
These good old-fashioned 'zinnies'
like our mothers used to raise"

from farm life and moved into town.

for leaving the farm, seventeen of the

DluRHOslS
Diagnosis Is what a doctor
makes of your case.
But that isn't all he makes out
of your case, unless you are dead
beat.
If you are not satisfied with the
diagnosis one doctor gives, you can
easily get another one by going to
the other doctor next door.
The two may have been grad
uated the same hour from the same
sawbones seminary, but the only
kind of case they can diagnose
alike, without consultation or a
previous agreement, is a case of
broken leg where the bone pro-
trudes.
If 1t doesn't stick out, they caG
easily disagree on that.
Ii you want any sort OF disease
especially and go to a doctor and
give him gentle hint to that eff
feet, and claim a few of the famil-
lar symptoms of that malady,
you've just as good as got it.
When you go to modern doc
tor and submit your plans and
specifications for a disease and
claim 1t is lumbago or bone spawn,
he pounds you on the place where
lumbago or bone SPAWN ought to
be, till you might as well have it,
anyway.
Before he does this, however, he
goes to the phonograph, winds it
up and puts on q Homer or Gluck
record of II Knead Thee Every
Hour"
Music is used a great deal nova
days In treating diseases.
We know a woman who was
cured Of an acute case of Grand
operitis by hearing some music
somewhere.
II the doctor has any doubts as
to the correctness Of his diagnosis
In surgical case, he finds his mis-
take in the postmortem and writes
his abject apology on the tomb
stone.

What do yoa think about the UdHdity
OF the instrument?
A. If the will was not executed in

less the codicil confirmed the viii or

@. II one person sells property

taken as evideace of fraud in the

A. Not necessarily. The mere
fact that the price is small or in
sufficient will not constitute fraud.
If, however, the price is grossly in
adequate, it will afford some evil
dence of fraud, especially when taken
in connection with other circum-
stances which tend to indicate duress
or undue influence.
