THE HOMEsICK HORSE.

Naco. Arizona, May II.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
The story by Kent AllersOn Hunter
on the front page Of The Herald about
the heartbroken horse is funny to me.
I wonder considering the great need
OF cavalry horses at the front, due to
the large number that must have died
OF been killed. or are temporarily I'M
m. due to the rough service in Mexico.
II a horse sound in wind and limb
was sent all the Vac back TO the L.
s. simply because he won't eat or
drink Evidently Mr.. Hunter is an
aspirant for nature faker" honors.
We are taught by the West Point text
book on hippology, written by an ex-
perienced cavalry officer, that horses
don't recognize the difference between
their riders. But this fact doesn't de-
ter Mr.. Hunter.
I suppose the late Hudnel carried
an the way to Mexico a supply Of cut
loaf sugar for his horse. No, he bought
DO from the troop cooks Soldiers are
wei aware Of the fact that army cooks
are quite lavish with the sale Of sugar.
although civilians don't know this
Hence Hudnell went without tobacco
many, many" times in order that his
horse might have sugar. Neither do
civilians know that horses make fine
bedfellows. but cavalrymen do; hence
IIudnell slept with his horse on the
picket line. Wonder II he placed a
halter on himself and tied himself to
the line.
When captains shoot horses, II IS
done on the order Of some superior
officer. and when such an order is Civ
an Il is given for cause and is a mat
ter Of duty. Then imagine some lieu
tenant begging a captain not to carry
out an order received from a superior
officer or not to perform his duty.
Such rot.
A prominent army officer recently
remarked that the American army is
the most pathetic thing that ever came
aling in history" 7 don't pretend to
know precisely all he meant by that
remark, but / do know that the army
would be a pathetic thing. indeed, n

THE CAVE MAN AND THE SCHOOLS.

Editor Il Paso Herald:
For the love of Mike, who turned
loose that cave man in Ell Paso? A
search Of the grade schools discIoses
no cave man. The high school shelters
no such monster. He seems to exist
only in the minds Of two prominent
citizens Of the town and to be rowing
through their imaginations like a rag
ing creature Of delirium. Whatever
may be the starting point from which
the wonderful jump is made to the
conclusion that "the children Of FL
Paso taught in the public schools arc
actually taught to believe that they
are descendants of monkeys" there is
no excuse for this statement Such
stuff makes students, teachers, and
patrons laugh.
II people who apparently know
nothing Of what is taught I'm the schools
would visit them or investigate, they
would not make such cruelty unjust
or absurd statements. The spirit of

Wide Awake,

An abnormally fat man numbered in
to a Pullman on a west-bound train,
and set up a loud protest when he
found that his berth was at the end OF
the car.
Il can't sleep a wink if I'm over
the car wheels. l won't close my
eyes if you put me over the car
wheels, porter
Cant help it. sah," said the por'
ter. It's the one that was sold you,
and it's the only one there is. You'll
have to take a chair car and set up il
you don't take this.
The fat man finally decided to keep
the berth, protesting to the last that
he did not expect to close his eyes.
Shortly his shores were heard above
the rumble of the train, but it was not
until the train had long wait that the
sounds issuing from the berth caused
anything but amusement. In the ST.
lence, however. they got on the pas.
sengers' nerves, and by request the
porter prodded him in the ribs.

porter. IF you makes noises like that
when you'se lynn wide awake over the

DIVIDED INTO SIX RACES
Differences In Branches Of Mankind
Are Marked--orlgln Of the
Semitic Peoples.

Sanskrit is the language which was
spoken by the easternmost branch OF
the Indo-Germanic or Aryan race. 1t
cannot, therefore, be said whether tho
race or the language peculiar TO that
race is the elder, probably the former.
The advent of the Celtic Aryan into
Europe is shrouded in mystery. There
are apparently not even traditions Of
their time Of emigration The Semitic
race is one of the six races OF man
kind, and is distinct from the Aryan.
The races are Indo-Germanic or Ar
yam, white, of Europe, America, Per-
STA, India and Australia. The Mongo-
liam or Turanian, yellow and brown.
Asia. The Semitic, white. Africa.
Arabia, etc. The negro, black, AT
RIGA. The Malay or Polynesian, brown,
Australasia The American Indian,
red, North and South America.
The Semites are supposed to be the
descendants of Shem-that is, the
name originated in this way. The term
was not in general use until the first
quarter of this century, though it was
used in Germany as early as 1881. II
is applied to the races akin to the He
brew, such as Arabian, or Assyrian.
Some authorities consider the primi-
tive seat of the race to be Africa,
others Arabia, still others the lower
Euphrates. The languages form an
important family, and are divided into
two principal branches, the northern
and southern. To the northern branch
belong the Assyrian and Aramean Tor
SYRIAN, and the Palestinian, Hebrew
and Phoenician). To the Southern
belong the Arabic and the Ethiopic.

FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning to Understand
That II Is a Mistake TO Work
Too Hard.

For a good many years we Fad a
creed that the only way to >sep men
or women good was to work them to
death. We didn't consider ourselves
virtuous unless we ended each day SO
toil-wearied that we had no ambition
for anything but bed. When we had
a holiday we didn't know how to use
it, and either slept it away or did
something that landed us in Jail.
The doctors are telling us now that
there is fatigue poison; that we owe
IL to ourselves not to overwork. The
great labor unions are demanding
shorter hours and graded work, so that
men and women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that the few may
not be overworked and underpaid at
the expense of the many.
We are learning very, very gradu.
ally, that man was not created to labor
Is hours out of the "a in order that
he may have the privilege of eating
and sleeping. Very, very gradually
we are being taught that we are part
ners in Gods pasture. and that, rich
or poor, we have the right to take our
share Of sunshine and fresh air and an
idle time to enjoy them.
A fair measure of leisure in each
day is necessary to cultivate sweet
ness and saneness of soul, and the
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that there is no opportunity
for recreation, never reaches the high
er planes of being. Indeed, too much
work has often been as much breed
er of crime as too much idleness.
Sometimes it is desperate effort
to escape from the grind. More often
It is al intelligent craving for excite
ment-"something different"
| believe it is in one of Aesop's
fables where we are told of the man
who was so busy grubbing in the muck
heap that he never had time to look
up and see the crown above his head.

Civilization and savaaery.

The one great difference between
the savage and civilized man is that
the former clings to the past, while
the latter is always looking to the fu-
ture. Civilizations systems of thought
and life are constantly progressing,
but the savage's systems are held sta
tionary by customs and religions of a
long-past age. We are ruled by mag
ination, but the savage's world is DOM
mated by a nightmare of tradition.

DOGS CHARACTER A MYSTERY
Owners Unable to Determine Whether
He Is a Detective or Inclined
to kleptomania.

The Newlyweds out in Crescent Hill
are wondering if Rex is a thief or a
detective.
Rex is a dog, a white, woolly dog,
who Is minutes after having his bath
looks as if he hadn't mad a bath for a
week. Rex is not hunter. He doesn't
know what game looks like. He
doesn't even chase cats. He is afraid
of other dogs. He is so tractable that
he makes friends with anybody who
pays him the slightest attention. He
would be on terms OF intimacy with
burglar in two minutes.
SO it can be seen that Rex's owners
had good reason for thinking him
good for nothing, even if they did love
him. Now they are wondering wheth-
er he is worse than good for nothing
or valuable retriever.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Newlywed
lost a purse containing SIG in cash.
A long search failed to reveal it, and
il was given up for lost.

He laid his quarry on the floor. 1t

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
as to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.

Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange,
l. They are, humanity speaking.
dumb and defenseless. a.
2, They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
3. They are the victims of science,
sport, fashion, ignorance and preju-
dice,
4. There is so much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen. and not to in
crease it.
5. It is cowardly and contemplate
to cause a living, sentient creature I'M
necessary or avoidable suffering.
6. The animals do so much for US
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their various races from cruelty, suf-
fering and III treatment. ssyIS---
Z. Selfish and callous disregard of
their rights can only react disastrous.
ly upon the moral nature of the ha'
man family, and make other sihailar
evils appear excusable. 1t is short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
city to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind,
considerate and thoughtful for the ami
mails are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. AS Jeremy Bentham, the great
jurist, wrote of the claims of animals:
The question is not-'Can they rea-
son. nor can they talk but can they
suffer-"

Would Not Burn Diamonds.

You often hear of people with
money to burn, but so far none has
ever attempted to burn their dia-
monds. The reason why, perhaps, is
because they will burn beautifully
"A great many people imagine that
diamonds are indestructible," said a
ieweler. who was placing a load of
gems in his safe for the night, but
as a matter of fact, fire of diamonds
would be the briskes&, prettiest thing
in the world. Diamonds are nothing
but coal-carbon. Put handful OF
diamonds on a plate and set a light
to them. They will burn with hard
gemlike flame till nothing is left
There will be no smoke, no SCOT, and
at the end the plate will be as clean
as though just washed-not the slight
es. particle even of ash will remain.
Don't try to thaw out your cracked
tee by fire.
