TO BE PET OF HUMANITY
That Seems to Be the Only Future
That Can Be Seen for
the Horse


The heavy draft horse is doomed.
He will not vanish suddenly but his
hour has struck. Motor vehicles al
ready are displacing him in cities.
The cheap farm tractor will do the
same in the country. In few dec
AIDES the great, magnificent brutes will
be little more than memory: Their
places will be taken by bloodless ma
chimes, that never whinny greetings
to kind master, never search ones
pockets for sugar-and never break
their legs on icy pavements or drag
out friendless old age under the
whips of stupid, greedy drivers.
When one thinks of these last con-
siderations, the horseless age doesn't
seem SO gloomy prophecy. But If
man is wise, there will be no horse
less age.
If man has any real wisdom-and
that belief, though often disappointed,
never dies-the horse will be pro
noted to the position of humanity
chief pet and plaything, but always
with substratum of usefulness which
will keep him from degenerating into
a mere toy. The draft horse, the trot-
ter-even the general purpose ami
mal'-may go, but the saddle horse
ought to stay and thrive. Just as
medical pre- "ription he is well worth
lille, for the old English phrase that
the outside of a horse is the best
thing for the insides of man" still
holds true, and as an instructor of
youth and a means Of real contact
with nature he has no rival but the
dog. '-@

Wear Khaki lJnjform

The Belgian army is now clothed In
khaki instead of the dark colored and
conspicuous uniform Of the earlier
months of the war. 1t has been a pop
ular change. since the khaki of the
British soldier has been much adj
mired by the Belgians as both smarter
in military sense and more business
like than their own dark blue and
green.
The sanitary situation along the Bel
gian front is excellent, and the sick
report is exceedingly small. The
bodies of dead horses and men float
ing in the area covered by water have
been fshed out and destroyed, and the
country in general cleaned up back of
the lines.

little chicken yards back of the
trenches for fresh eggs, and angling
for carp in the canals is one of the
chief recreations of officers and men

HAS SEA GULLS AS PETS
Wisconsin Girl Has Tanned Birds
Which Are as a Rule Slow to
Approach Human Beings.

Visitors to Green island are treated
to rather unusual sight nowadays,
a Marinette (Wis.) dispatch to the
Milwaukee Leader says. A girl comes
out of the lightkeeper's house and.
standing near the door, gives pecu'
liar call:
"Cooty, cooty, cooty! Here, cooty!"
And following the direction of her
gaze, the visitors see three awkward,
long-legged sea gull babies, running at
the top of their infantile speed toward
the girl
Showing not the slightest hesitancy
or fear, the birds gather about the
girl, who feeds them table scraps and
fondles them. The small gulls dis
play not the slightest evidence of
shrinking from her touch, and gobble
voraciously at the scraps.
The girl is the daughter of Frank
A. Drew, head lightkeeper Of the
Green island light-the beacon which
is raised by the sailors headed toward
Marinette long before the red harbor
light is to be seen.
The gulls are members of the ex-
tensive gull colony which summers
and winters-on Green island. The
trio was Matched this summer, and
they have yet to make their first trip
over the water.
Miss Drew got the baby gulls when
they were tiny birds, Matched but a
short time. They proved most re-
sponsive to training, and soon lost
all fear of their mistress. 1t didn't
take them long to learn that the cry
of "Cooty, cooty!" meant delectable
