CARRIAGE BUILDING INDUSTRY
HAS BEEN HIT HARD

AS might be expected, the carriage
building industry in the United
States has been hit hard in the past
four years by the advent and grow.
ing popularity of the automobile.
According to recent census bulle'
tin the number of carriages and wag-
ons manufactured in 1914 was 397 1863
less than in 1909, the decrease being
25.l per cent. In value the decrease
in five years was $21, 754,O O2 or %
per cent
Those figures are somewhat mis-
leading however. While they tell the
story of the decline in the production
of horse drawn vehicles, they do not
account for the activity that has
prevailed in the old time centers of
that industry in the turning out OF
the bodies for motor cars which has
given a new impetus to business In
many of those communities and has
kept most of the larger carriage fac
tories exceedingly busy as Is the case
in Amesbury, Mass, to cite one case
where there are more men employed
and at higher wages than every be-

Our Friend --HOrSe

Notwithstanding the great produc-
ton of motor driven vehicles, our
good old friend, the horse, and his
sometimes recalcitrant cousin, the
mule, seem to hold their own.
The Rockford Republic, whose edi-
tor is something of a statistician,
say;
Statistics OF the Department OF
Agriculture show that at the begin
ming Of this year there were 2l,l66,-
900 horses on farms, 4,565,00U mules
and 3,lS2,709 horses in the cities,
total Of 2S,913,7O9. In 1890 in round
numbers there were 14000,00O horses
on farms in the United States, and
in 1900 there were 100000.
THE value Of the horses and the
mules In the country is $S,032,292, 900
while the 100000 automobiles In the
country are worth $l,260,0O0,0 900. In
other words-and let the automobile
dealers take careful note OF this-the
horses and mules in the United States
are worth three times as much as the
value of the automobiles.
"If all horses died tomorrow we
should probably starve to death, says
the treasurer Of the Massachusetts
Protective Association for Horses.
We depend upon the horse for what
we eat and for what we wear.

valuable a part in our economic sys-

DECIDEDLY NOT HIS HOBBY
Rheumatic Sufferer Gould Not SEQ
How His Case Compared With
That Of the Martyrs.

This story is quoted by Mrs. Maude
M. C. Ffoulkes in MY Own Past,
apropos of people who make their mis-
fortunes their hobby. A Roman Cath.
Ollie priest teld it to Mrs. Ffoulkes of
one of his parishioners.
This old man was a confirmed grum-
bier who suffered from acute rheuma-
tism, and whenever the priest CHANGED
to visit him he inveighed bitterly
against the cruelty of the Creator who
permitted rheumatism to rack the
bones of the aged.
"Now, Cassidy" reproved the good
father, Il don't like to hear this con-
slant grumbling. What, after all, is
your pain in comparison with the
agonies endured by the blessed mar
tyrs? Think of them" he added, as
holy zeal inspired his words; think
of that noble army who were tortured
without uttering a word of complaint!
Some of them were plunged into boil
ing oil, others were devoured slowly
| by the wild beasts, many were cruel
; fed-but is it not recorded that they
| glorified in their sufferings? Why
then, rebel at such triffe as rheuma
| tism?"
He paused. Probably he expected
Cassidy to see presently, with the eye
of faith, the palm of martyrdom which
is the reward of accomplishing merit
But the old man was not of the stuf
of which saints are composed, ant

tions. But his pride revolted against
accepting this kindness, and she had
had the tact to see and not to press
the matter.
On Saturday, when he entered her
pretty room to read his story he felt
that they were already old friends.
She did not interrupt while he was
reading it, but when he had finished
she said:
Il think that is splendid story, Mr..
Rawlinson, although 1 don't recognize
myself in your heroine. At least, the
hero must have been a very impetuous
young man. should change that love
scene. No girl could fall in love as
fast as that"
But she might-later?" asked Raw
linson, and he was conscious of wait
ing for her answer as IL his whole fate
depended on it.
Miss Arthur blushed. "She might
later" she admitted; and then Rawlin-
sons hopes went high up in the air.
He knew already that he loved her.
He had dared to surmise that she was
not Indifferent to him. But how many
years must lie between that love and
its fruition!
Il am going to end it in a note of
hope on the hero's part, then" he said.
That's capital, Mr.. Rawlinson. One
can always hope"
He rewrote the story in accordance
with Miss Arthur's suggestions and
sent it in. For three days he waited
with heart that thumped every time
the postman's whistle was heard. On
the third morning letter came from
the magazine. He tore it open. In.

a friend address her as Julia once. He
could not be mistaken. He ran down

had accepted the story to help him!
But when he raped at the door
and she came out, and stood before
him, he could say nothing, but only
stared at her speechlessly. The cir

seemed to understand his feelings

Nobody knew anything about anybody
else and Mrs. Simpson never gossiped.
Rawlinson, on the third floor, had often
wondered as to the identity OF the
pretty girl on the ground floor. What
did she do? She wore stylish clothes,
and had just appeared in some furs
that must have cost every penny OF
hundred and fifty dollars. But Mrs.
Simpson would have frowned on an in
quiry, and Rawlinson had to 60 on

He had not much leisure even for
that. He had been supporting himself
ever since he came to town by the
hardest kind of hack literary work.
Now he had practically received an
order from a woman's magazine for q
story at SIS.
He had had a story published in q

dropped him note saying that story
of the same wholesome and CHEEKY
type would be considered acceptable
at the price named. The editor par

PUTS PRIDE away
BY ELIZABETH KAY.

A pretty girl crossing the street, q
white-and-yellow dog that darted in
her wake, a gasp and little scream,
and a fall-such was one Of the first
spectacles that met Ralph Evans eyes
as he walked downtown into Nudge
Vile.
He ran to help her to her feet. The
girl rose painfully, and flashed q
glance OF indignant scorn at him.

apologetically. Il never saw the crea-
ture before. You see, have only been

He raised his hat and hurried away.
He had come to Midgeville in answer
to an advertisement for assistant on
the local paper who could invest $500.
That was the exact amount Of the
young mans capital. He knew the pa
per must be on its last legs to require
that amount Of money, and he had a
shrewd idea that eventually it would
gravitate into his capable hands.
However, he had thought Midgeville
an unattractive city when he arrived
the evening before. Now, after this
encounter, all his ideas were altered

How he identified that name with
the girl he never knew, but he was
sure from that moment that Dorothy
Morton was the girl who had fallen
over the dog.
A surprise was in store for the
young man. When he left the office
he white-and-yellow dog was waiting
for him.
"Shoo!" said Ralph. But the dog
cringed and fawned and followed him
toward his boarding house. He had
almost reached this destination when
he saw Miss Dorothy coming round

saw her pleasant smile freeze, saw a
look of angry reproach upon her face.
