HAD TO BE TAUGHT FRENCH
English Horses, In Service Of GaIlio
Owners, Unable 20 Understand
Words Of Command.

A French writer tells quaint story
of the war. He says that the English
cavalry in France found themselves In
possession OF number Of horses
which were not found suitable for
cavalry work. BY arrangements with
the French government they sold them
off to French peasants for agricultural
work. The farmers were delighted;
though the horses were not adapted
for cavalry work. they were better
than they had been accustomed to
have for farm work. But when they
came to work them q difaculty arose.
The horses did not understand French.
When addressed with Hue" or a
Dial" (which is idiomatic French
for Gee upl" and Way. whoa!")
they did not bulge. No doubt carriers
in France. as in England, have whole
vocabulary Of horse talk. Apart from
the starting and stopping. there are
special cries which tell the horse to
turn to the right or left or to take
up q particular posture when It Is
being groomed.
Even in England these carriers and
grooms' words differ in different coun-
ties, but probably that would be no
difficulty in the way Of transferring .

land to the south. For. 40 the expert
mental psychologists tell rs. animals
do not really understand articulation;
what they do understand Is the tone
in which words are spoken. This has
been said even of dogs. which are
much more intelligent than horses
and much more attentive to the
speech Of man. Dog lovers. however,
deny this. and say that dogs under
stand the spoken word in whatever
tone 1t is uttered or however quietly.
However that may be, Il would not
help the English horses in France.
since the French tones expressing
the various moods Of entreaty or COM

fish than does the pronunciation Of

in sight and he managed to make his
way to the door of our laboratory
without being observed.
Probably he thought that the pa
pers might be at the laboratory, for
he had repeatedly failed to locate
them at the Dodge house. At any rate
he was busily engaged in ransacking
drawers and cabinets, in the labora-
tory, when the telephone suddenly
rang.
An instant he hesitated. Then, dis

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by a
series Of murders of prominent men. The
principal clue to the murderer is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with ''clutching hand" The latest vic

daughter. Elaine, employs Craig Ken
nedy, the famous scientific detective, to
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken

Josephine. Suddenly his face lighted
up. "Ah-an ideal" he exclaimed
mo one will ever think to look inside

as he had completed installing the
thing and hiding the wire under car
pets and rugs until 1t ran out to the
connection which he made with the
telephone, don't breathe word of it
Ito anyone. We don't know whom
to trust or suspect"
Elaine's car had stopped finally at
a shop on Fifth avenue. She stepped
out and entered, leaving her chauffeur
to wait.
AS she did so, Dan and Billy sided
along the crowded sidewalk.
Dan the Dude left Billy and Billy
surreptitiously drew from under his
coat half loaf of bread. With a
glance about, he dropped 1t into the
gutter close to the entrance to
Elaine's car Then he withdrew lit
tie distance.
When Elaine came out and ap-
preached her car, Billy, looking as
cold and forlorn as could be, shot for
ward. Pretending to spy the dirty
piece Of bread in the gutter. he made
dive for it, just as Elaine was about
to step into the car.
Elaine, surprised, drew back. Billy
picked up the piece of bread and with
all the actions of having discovered a
treasure began to gnaw at it vora-
ciously.
Shocked at the disgusting sight, she
tried to take the bread away from
him.
Il know it's dirty, miss" whimpered
Billy, 'but it's the first food I've seen
for four days"
Instantly Elaine was full of sym
pathy. She had taken the food
away. That would not suffice.

asked.

NEW YORK, July 10, 1915.
The leaf market this week appeared
to be much more animated than for
some months past. The condition pre-
vailed generally in all departments, but
naturally more SO in wrapper tobacco.
AS the last Sumatra sale of the spring
and summer took place yesterday, with
indications pointing to very small
percentage of tobacco being taken by
the American market, there is natural
ly what one might call mild skirmish
throughout the market for suitable raw
material to offset the fast-disappearing
wrapper in hand. There doesn't seem
to be any doubt in the mind of the trade
that the wrapper situation will cause
great anxiety to those manufacturers,
who for some reason or other will fail
to put aside sufficient to carry them
over to the next crop. The Sumatra
situation has been reflected among do
mestic wrapper growers. They are al
ready feeling the result of this state of
affairs. Happily, however, they know,
with growing conditions remaining fav-
orable, that the domestic wrapper of
the coming crop will be such as to take
care of the wants of the rapidly-grow-
ing cigar output using this commodity.
AS the cigar manufacturers business
seems to be picking up somewhat, in
practically all centers of the industry,
the leaf trade in consequence seems
much brighter. If there is any one
thing that invigorates the market it is
a steady flow of withdrawal orders.
Of course, current orders are not for
large quantities, but, nevertheless,
there is that constant stream which
proves that the cigar business is pick
ing up, which is, after all, the real and
truthful gauge. There isn't any boom
on. Far from it! But inquiries are
being made for all grades of seedleaf
tobacco, as we'll as Porto Rico and Ha-
vana leaf.-Journal

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, July Is, 1915.
The new tobacco crop has been COM
ing along with some rapid growth un-
der the best of weather conditions that
have prevailed during tbs week, which
has given US the first real hot days of
the summer and couple of soaking
rains intervening. Frequent stirring
of the soil and keeping down the weeds
is the attention needed for few weeks
now while the plants are gaining a
deep root. So far as the southern sec
tions are concerned the crop in general
never looked more promising at this
date.
The end of warehouse handling has
about been reached in this market.
One hundred and twenty hands are
now employed at stemming by the
Earle Tobacco Co., which has stock on
hand for several months work.
The market for old leaf is still in the
dumps, though some improvement of
trade is reported in the cigar manufac-
turing centers that is likely to create a
demand for cured leaf later.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 250 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 5, 1915.
A veritable transformation has been
wrought in the Connecticut valley to-
bacco outlook in the past week. May
and June were cold dry months, and on
June Is the New England crop was not
only below normal, but drought threat
ened to reduce the yield per acre to a
low figure. The breaking of the
drought two weeks ago has been fol-
lowed by vastly improved conditions.
Last Thursday the drenching rain SO
badly needed arrived = from two to
three inches, according to the weather
bureau reports-and sinking deep into
the soil impaired the stimulus which
the new crop has needed. Coincident
with the abundant moisture came mug
gy days, with high temperatures when
the sun broke through the clouds. The
result is apparent in the strides which
the tobacco plants are making. More
rain fell on the Fourth and today the
sun shown bright and hot-just the
weather needed to give quality to the
growing crop.
Shaded tobacco on many plantations
has now reached the stage at which a
very little moisture will carry the crop
through.

ber of buyers will be in town, whose

GOLD.

From New York Commercial.
Gold is flowing into New York,
American securities are being shipped
here from Europe and committee of
leading bankers and financial experts
from England and France are here to
try to stabilize the foreign exchange
market and check the waste in selling
our commodities in Europe caused by
fheavy discounts on sterling bills in
this market. New York bankers do not
want more gold and would prefer
that Europe keep it at home, which
seems odd to many who have been
asking why France and Great Britain
do not pay out gold more freely and
why we should not demand our pound
of flesh in gold to settle our trade
balance now heavily in our favor?
Gold cannot be used to pay for
everything. because there is not
enough Of it TO go round. Il is used
to settle balances between nations
because it is the accepted standard
of value and not because il is a metal
called gold. Il happens to be best
suited for this work so we use it..
All the coined gold and all the essay
office bars in the world would not
pay for this years crops on this con-
tinent All the gold held in the Bank

balance in our favor caused by the
excess of our exports over our i'm
