BRONCHOS ARE GOING

The European war promises to mark
the final passing of the wild horse
of the range, the disappearance of the
bucking broncho so long associated
with the west. Even now there are
no wild horses such as once roamed
the ranges, and with the inroads being
made upon the west by the war, his
half civilized brother, the broncho
promises to disappear. Thousands of
horses have been taken from Color
ado, Wyoming and other western
states. Not only have the British and
French buyers invaded that section,
but representatives of the Italian gov
ernment have combed the country for
months. During the last few weeks
an Italian buyer purchased several
hundred horses and great was his
haste to get them to his country that
they were sent by express from Den
yer to the east instead of by freight.
They were hurried aboard a steam
er to Italy.

THE TAILOR'S APPLE

A medium grade apple, no different
in any respect from other apples of
its kind, stood on little pedestal in
the show window of a local tailor.
No other advertisement was used by
the tailor, but his scores Of patrons
were mystified and entirely uniformed
as to "Why the apple?" Questions
were shot at the tailor, all directed at
what on earth the apple signified.
Finally the tailor asked with a COM
placent smile:
"If it hadn't been for an apple
where would the clothing business be
today? ?"-Brockton Enterprise.
