one more magnificent than the other,
have been discovered. The two larg-
est were found by Richard Wetherill
and Charley Mason one December day
in 1883, as they were riding together
through the pinyon wood on the mesa
In search of a stray herd They had
penetrated through the dense scrub to
the edge of a deep canyon. In the
opposite cliff. sheltered by huge
massive vault of rock, there lay before
their astonished eyes whole town,
with towers and walls, rising out of a
heap of ruins. This grand monument
of bygone ages seemed to them well
deserving of the name of the Cliff Pal
ace. Not far from this place, but in
a different canyon, they discovered,
on the same day, another very large
cliff dwelling. To this they gave the
name of Spruce Tree House, from a
great spruce that jutted forth from
the ruins.
During the course of years Richard
and Alfred Wetherill have explored
the mesa and it's canyons in all di
rections. They have thus gained a
more thorough knowledge of it's ruins
than anyone. Together with their
brothers, John, Clayton and Wynn

VALUABLE HORSE HINTS
Repose Almost as Essential as
Good Feed and Water.
Colt Is Not Safe for Women, Children
or inexperienced Men to Handle
Study Conformation and
Breeding of Mares.

All horses, when turned out in pas
ture, are more prone to take their rest
lying down than when confined in
stable stalls, says writer in Inland
Farmer. But even when practically
free from human restraint and obser-
walton, or any likelihood of danger,
they seldom take more than an hour
each night in the recumbent position,
and that period is generally INDUCED
In about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter of
lying down. To hard-working horse
repose Is almost as much of a neces-
sity as good food and water, but tired
as he may be, he is an animal very
shy about lying down. l have known
instances where stablemen declared
that the horses in their charge had
never been known to take rest in that
manner, but always slept standing.
In purchasing a general purpose
horse, which will be used when rail-
road. electric cars and autos are to be
met, don't buy a colt, because no
young horse is safe for women, chill
dren or inexperienced men to handle.
Don't buy until you have driven, or
have seen the horse driven, near

be certain that he will pass them with

Problem for the Court.

A perplexing problem in bovine ju-
risprudence recently taxed the legal
attainments of local jurists, says the
Portland Oregonian. A bull and an
automobile tried to occupy the same
space at the same time, in conse-
quence of which the bull went to his
final reward to appear before the
great high court whence no appeals
lie, while the owner appeared before
a more mundane tribunal. claiming
damages. The theory of the defense
was that the collision having occurred
at night the bull was guilty of contrib
utory negligence In not having lights.
The plaintiff promptly pointed out that
the bull had no horns to serve as chan
deliers. Thereupon the defendant in
sisted that tail lights should have been
furnished. Charles j. Schnabel and
j. B. DINER, attorneys for the plain
tif, Immediately called the courts at
tention to the fact that the bull had
two bulls eyes, which served the same
purpose, in which view Judge Joseph
H. Jones concurred.

go to some reliable dealer, tell him ex-
actly what you want and then buy un-
der a full guaranty, with the priv
ilege of returning the animal at some
reasonable time, if he doesn't come
up to the mark.
Greater efficiency in the field is Sc
cured by matching horses according
to their working character, even if
they do not look alike.
The man who tries to keep horse
in even good working order on grasses
alone is attempting an impossibility.
Study the conformation and dispo-

kind of stallion they should be mated

No matter how big the jack may be,
