The Last Days of ROsinante
eY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. By Frank Crane)

Up on a ranch not far from Los An
geles are IL pensioned horses.
They are old, their usefulness is AZ
an end. but somebody thought enough Of
them 70 endow them so that their eve
ming days might be passed where there
is plenty of grass and water, where
they can stand day after day in the
California sunshine and dream of youth.
In this weary and wicked world this
incident is like unto a draught ofayater
from the well of Bethlehem to the spent
and dusty warrior.
1t comes as near being pure, unadul-
terated goodness as one finds along the
ways of men.
you nave to pension your old father
or your defective child. or people will
talk. But your old horse, you may sell
him to the soap-man or have him shot;
nobody would say anything.
There is peculiar relation between
a man and his horse, at least some men
and some horses, that obtains not else
where. Men have loved dogs, and wo-
men have loved cats. but not quite in the
same way.
have been some among moving pic
ture folks in the sunny places of south
ern California, where eventually most
films VIII be made, since no other spot
is favored with such continuous sun
shine, and have seen some of the most
amazing horsemanship The cowboys and
bandits have focked to the movie fac
tories, the last and best market for their
particular skill.
And | have been strangely moved by
the remarkable affection, rising almost
to alteration of these men for the ami
mails that carry them.
1t was through De Wolf Hopper I
learned of the pensionnaires. When he
was playing the part Of Don Quixote, in
the picture-play of that name, the COM
pany secured for him a venerable steed
TO act as Rosinante. During the weeks
of adventure involved in the making of
the film a strong affection grew in the
heart of the comedian toward his equine
companion. And when the play was
completed the company presented the
horse to him. Whereupon Hopper had
him sent out to the farm before men,
toned and pensioned him for life.
And, said Hopper, Il unconsciously
made the hit of my life among the crowd
Of riders in these parts. / was only
yielding 10 a generous impulse; it didn't
cost me much, and / never dreamed
was doing anything noble.
But among those boys my stock
went up like Bethlehem Steel. / had
Joined the elect, which is composed of
them that appreciate a horse
So among the hills, in the southern
sun, Rosinante watches the peaceful
DAYS go by. Eleven companions, the
benefciaries of eleven other humane
souls are with him.
When / am full stated with the fe-
rocious news from Europe, where men
are rivals in inhumanity; when | tend
to get disgusted with my kind and to be-
ieve that human beings everywhere are
turning TO wolves. like to think of those
twelve calm and happy old horses and
the unaffected goodness of the men who
pensioned them.

Awake and Prepare" is the subject
of an article Theodore Roosevelt has
written for the February Metropolitan
in which he says;
But there are certain elementary facts
to be grasped by this people before we
have any policy AZ all. The hrst Iacl
Is q thorough understanding OF that hoary
faIsehood which declares that II takes Two
nations 70 make quarrel II did not TAKE
two nations 10 make the quarrel that re-
suited la Germany -trampling- Belgium into
the mire. Ii is no more true that II taxes

ters than IL rs 20 make the same assertion
about highwayman who holds up passer-
by or a blackhander who kidnaps a child
The people who do not make quarrels, who
are not offensive, who give no cause for
anger are those who ordinarily furnish the
victims OF highwaymen. blsckhanders and
whiteslavers. Criminals always attack the
helpless II possible In exactly similar fash
ion aggressive and miitarist nations attack
weak nations where II is possible. Weak
ness always invites attack. Preparedness
uaually but not always. sverts it.
Supporters of preparedness refer a
great deal more frequently to Belgium
than they do to the fact that prepared
ness, more than anything else, IS re-
sponsible for the carnival of killing and
manning that is now going on in Eu-
rope.
When you hear preparedness discus
sed. remember always that prepared
ness means AIILTTARISM.
Roosevelt fears this country is in dan
ger of invasion and treatment at the
hands of Germany such as Belgium suf-
fefed.
We credit him with sincerity; one
who understands the Roosevelt two
gun temperament HAS to concede that
he expresses real convictions when he
supports the theory that might makes
right"
We do not, however, understand his
fears.
They reflect just little upon the ex-

"Belgiumo vas a blunder.

Belgium" was blunder.
1t was Germany's blunder and the
biggest blunder that has been made in
this war.
By this blunder Germany sacrificed
the respect of all neutrals, and in what
il cost in a withdrawal of moral sup
mort. suffered the heaviest loss ever sus-
tanned by any nation in any war in all
history.
A wise individual is set right by his
own mistake, and wise individuals profit
by the mistakes of others.
Germany has paid too dearly for the
blunder of Belgium" to ever make it
again.
Other nations know too well what the
blunder of Belgium" cost Germany to
make blunder like it.
We have to submit for Col. Roosevelt
that if this country is to be worked up
TO the pitch of militarism some other
tack will have to be taken than that Of
pointing to the fate Of Belgium.
Roosevelt and Wilson disagree IN
their theories Of preparedness.
Rather, Roosevelt IS an exponent of
preparedness while Wilson is NOT.
Roosevelt's idea Of preparedness takes
account of the fact that the man who
carries a billy" if he is to be prepared
for a man who carries a six-shooter re-
volver, has to discard the billy" and
get himself a shotgun.
Preparedness" must mean more men.
more rifles and bayonets, more dread
naughts. more guns. lSre submarines.
more airships and more bombs to drop
than the other nation has.
It means MILITARISM, because the
only way TO prepare against militarism
IS by miltarism only more of it.

ChiIdren's Eyes.
(Meriden Journal )

While many people look upon dd fective vision as a condition that exist from birth, they do not realize thd restricted vision is often due to faul1 that could be remedied or causes thd could be prevented.
 Children should not be allowed q enter school before six years of agl nor should the child be allowed I look much at pictures blocks or any thing requiring close vision for lon| at a time, as fusion of the vision dod not take place until about the aa of six, and for that reason childrc of four or five years of age shoui1 not be sent to the kindergarten, d close application of the eyes at th1 age causes more near sighted peopt than any other factor.
 Children are apt to form the hall, of holding their books close to tII eyes while studying; this causes
 strain of the muscles of the eyd both within and on the outside 1 the eyebaI1, which is another cau7 for near sightedness and is a caud of cross-eyes. " r.-
 We often have astigmatisn" in chi1 dren, and, in order to sec they mud IlOlu In6 DOOk ClOSe, cIQ SSluint bNI eyelids; another cause for cross-eyed We occasionally see q child that ! exceedingly far-sighted, and who t see properly, requires a lens evel stronger than does the average per son at sixty years of age.
 Poor vision often accounts for tn nervous condition. so often found il children, headaches and so-ca1let growing pains. Errors in vision verl frequently cause cross-eyees and if child begins to show symptoms o cross eyes, no matter how young, th' eyes should be properly tested, and i necessary treated, as such condition usually increase and after they hav. reached the stage where one eye onl, is used, the other eye loses it's visior to greater or less degree.
 If a child needs glasses they shouls be worn. but cheap stores and ped dlers should be avoided. Reputabl' eye specialists should be consulted for there are many children ant young persons wearing glasses toda, who do not need them, and many ar' wearing incorrect and injurion glasses
