Pocket Horse Thoughts
From Tit-Bits.


 Individual water buckets for horsea constructed much the same as sanitary drinking cups. have been introduced at Philadelphia for the purpose of pre- venting the spread of glanders and similar diseases among stock watered at public fountains. The containers, which are made of paper and provided with reinforced bottoms so that they may be used several times, are ar. ranged so that they may be folded and carried in coat pocket by a driver They are sold by an anti-cruelty so- ciety for slightly more than a penny each. and are believed to have done much toward keeping hundreds ol horses from infection.

 moneyland to sunnyland, but ex- perience has taught many of us who write that a bit of scandal is always cer- tain to have many readers in any section wherein it is published, and so l am going to tack on a few morsels to the tango troubles. l wrote in part last week. Serials are growing in popularity, any way.
 Hardly one of the multitudinous metro- politan publications has refrained from publishing both news and views on the tango parasite" during the past two weeks Some of them assume a sort of '.tut. tut' attitude while the majority admit that he is real menace, and cer- tain officials have permitted themselves to be quoted to the effect that they have received many complaints about him in tho past
 Some of the methods adopted by these para sites-or rather. toward them by their rich girl victims-astonished me greatly. Although I have taken a peep. now and then. at the cabaret and lobster palace night life, l knew little or nothing about the daylight life of similar character. And the. tango parasite works in daylight altogether. That is why he is said to De particularly dangerous.
 Some of these, young men-and they are all of good appearance and dance we'll are actually paid to act as dance part ners for girls at luncheons and the da1sants. Others attend. the luncheons, meet the girls there, dance and lunch with them but never spend one cent IL has been proved that numbers of these cirls slip their purses under the table at the beginning of the afternoon, and it fs also claimed that the young men are nat even expected to return any money

 l do not have reference to the number of the owners, but to the atmosphere. In ether sections of the city wherein men and women are packed away almost like sardnes. there is heat and all manner Of unpleasant things are to be borne with Curing the summer-but there is no chance for the residents to get away. Only those who own the comfortab ble houses can afford to see comfort else where. Those who know no comforts must remain where they are and suffer.
 Perhaps that is one reason why the wealthy hasten away-being confronted with New York's misery day after day, is very depressing to any one. There is no such poverty and whetchedness in a small town-it could not exist there. But there Is no such fabulous wealth there, either, and so the small town remains the small town and New York will always be New York, only it is getting more So daily.
 I'd gladly stand for torrid heat mos

 SUMMER, AND THEN Summer is here and the world is bright,
 Rose leaves carpet the sun-kissed way; Birds are singing and hearts are light

E0lSTUR EDDITUR: I had lettur
 XA few days ago from an admirur 6y of mine down in the rrrel districts of Alabama with which he inclosed lot of sirculer letturs he had reserved telling him how he could becum furst-class deteca- tive by corrispondinse for three dollers. He sed in his lettur to me that he knew 1 would advise him what to do, and he knew that 1 would know becawse 1 was up heer in Washington amung the big Guys, and the white lites and that I would give him an honnest opinion He sed he had always wanted to be detecative and believed he had sum tallint. Evven in his extreem yuth, he sed, his muther always relied on him to find the old Turkey hin $ nest, when she would wondur away in the Spring the hin, not his muther-and if he could deteck a sly old Turkey hin, he didn't see enny reesun why he couldn t deteck crim- ines He sed that he had pare of fawlse mustashes and when he put them on and went to town with a slouch hat on peepul thought he was just a country rube and did not suspeck that he was disgized He sed that he had red Shurlock Homes, and how he detecked things by meens of de- ductsion and he thought he could do it too, becawse he was good deductur. He sed he didn't want to throw away three dollers lerning to be furst class detective unless theere was a chanse of making his mummy back, and he wanted to know if he was to get a diploma, and a new badge, if theere was enny chanse for him to get job de- tecating for the guvermint. He sed he was moddist and wouldn t ask to be maid the cheef rite away but would be willing to take a subordinate phase to commense with. He signed his lettur Henery Smith that is we will call him Henery Smith, just to avoid complications.
 Henery incIosed job lot of letturs he had reserved frum the "We Git Elm De- tecative Corrispondense School" offuring to give him theere compeet corse wurth fifteen bones for the modest sum of three dollers, and Gurman Silver badge for an nther doller.
 Now Henery, listen to me! You air as neer beeing detecative as Belgium is to reel estate boom; if you seperate yourself frum three run men for diploma and badge, the verry furst thing you will de teck IS that you air sevverel diffurent kinds of a damfoo It may take you sum time to arrive at that conclusion, but you will get theere aftur a while.

 After all Broadway is less critical than the audiences cf many comparatively small cities of other sections. They laugh readily and easily here. applaud habit ually and praise unreservedly. Oa the other hand, the majority of Broadway at fractions are worth while. I believe that many of them would have much longer lives if the critics could find way to be more merciful. But they do not hesitate to roast mercilessly when perform ance fails to please their jaded tastes Theatrical managers as a result have forced several well known critics out of the game, but their successors seem to be equally fond of adverse criticism--when they are writing it.

TELLING ADDRESS BY
PASTOR BASSLER
Parent Teacher Association of Ma
clay School Holds Inter-
esting Meeting

Ar audience of over a hundred
gre eted the Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler
last evening at the Maclay school
building, when he made a telling ad-
dress before the parent-teacher asso-
citation of the school.
The questions asked by the speaker
were: What does the school mean to
the parent" What does the parent
put into the public school, and What
does the parent expect to get out of
the SCHOOL," Some of the points were
made by comparing Il life saving sta
ton and a SCHOOL ship. The one shows
how TO save life when in imminent
danger of drowning; the other pre-
pares one to keep away from conditions
that tend toward drowning-rather
that prevention is better than cure.
Professor Garland presided and
there were musical numbers by Miss
Rachael Longsdorf and Clyde Hooker.
Officers elected for the coming year
were: President. Professor S. II. Gar
land; vice-president Mrs. Charles
Smith; secretary, Miss Ruth Hoover;
treasurer. Mrs. Charles Gingrich.
There was an interesting discussion
between Mrs. Gingrich and Professor
j. j. Brehm on the new reading course,
which promises so much to future stu
dents. Refreshments closed the even

The Hair Easily Made
Beautiful and Attractive

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lus-
trous and absolutely free from dan
druff is not so much a gift of nature
as q matter of care and proper nour-
ishment. Hair is like a plant-it will
not grow healthy and beautiful unless
it has attention and proper nutriment.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed
liquid that is easily applied, tones up
and invigorates the hair roots and
furnishes the necessary nourishm ent
to not only save and beautify the hair,
but also stimulate it to grow long,
heavy, soft, fluffy and radiant with
life.
When used frequently and we'll
rubbed into the scalp, it will simply
work wonders. Just one application
stops itching head, removes dandruff
and cleanses the hair of all dust and
excess oil.
Since Partisan Sage, which can be
obtained from II. c. Kennedy, or at
any drug or toilet counter. never dis
appoints, it is no longer necessary for
any woman to be Inundated because
of thin, streaky, faded, lifeless or un-
attractive hair--and pretty hair, more
than anything else, helps every wo-
man to retain her charm and youthful
ce.-Advertisement.

tricts of the country, and the Demo-
Gratis will be really a minority partg'
in the House Of Representatives
Third-Two-thirds of the Propres-
sive vote of 1912 has not only ceased
to support third party candidates, but
has returned TO the support of Re-
publican principles and candidates.
This is the story that is told by the
official figures of the last election just
compiled by the Republican national
committee. They are the official fig
urcs of thirty-eisht different States,
representing all sections of the com
try.
23 States Republican
The Republicans carried twenty
three States, which in the electoral
college cast 2SS votes for President. Il
clear majority of % over the 266 nee
essary for a choice. There are three
States which may be temporarily
classed as doubtful, as On national is
sues they divided their allegiance.
These are Oregon, South Dakota and
Nevada, in which Democratic Sena-
tors were chosen, but Republican Con-
gressional delegations were elected.
At this election 230 Democratic
members cf Congress were successful.
In 80 of the Congressional districts
of the country the Progressive vote
was larger than the Democratic plu-
rality, so that, had it not been for the
Progressive vote. the Democratic
membership in the next House would
be only 191. with 21S necessary for a
majority. The Progressive vote also
elected four Democratic Senators.
those in California, Colorado, Indiana
and Oregon.
The question of what has become of
the Progressive vote of 1912 is well
answered i'll these official returns. In
the thirty-eight states whose returns
have been compiled. there is a Re-
publican gain of 2,4S9,5SS over the
Republican Presidential vote of 1872.
There is a Progressive loss of 2.j01,-
S11, as compared with the Presden-
tial vote of that party two years ago.
In other words. the Progressive loss
is within less than one per cent of
being the same as the Republican
gain.
Over Million Plurality
In these twenty-thrce States which
put themselves in the Republican
column. the Republican plurality over
the Democratic vote was over a mil
lion: whereas in 1912 the Wilson vote
in the same States was larger than the
Taft vote by over one million. OF the
total vote cast by the three parties
in these States in 1914. the Repnbli-
cans cast 49.6 per cent: the Demo-
Gratis 3S.9 per cent, an3 the Progress
sives 11.5 per cent. In 1912, the Presi-
dental vote cast was: Republicans,
