ARABIAN KNIGHT IN
CRAWFORD HOLLOW

Arabian knight, an important Ara
bian stallion, will make the season OF
1917 at the stables of U. w. Huckaby,
on the Crawford Hollow road, short
distance Off the Bear Creek pike, sew,
en- miles from Columbia. This spleen,
did horse is the sire of some OF the
most attractive commercial horses in
the county. Practically all of the
white horses in the county are of his
get. So many of them are being used
by undertakers over the country for
hearse horses.
This horse is the property OF A.
Fleming Thomas, the popular insur-
ance man. Mr.. Thomas is farming
the horse out to Mr.. Huckaby and
they are making a very attractive
proposition to breeders. To the man
showing the best colt in Columbia the
first Monday in September, 1918, they
offer a free season. There must be
as many as five entries in the contest.

COMMON SALT UsEE
MARINES ON HIKES
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE PERSPiR-
ATIoN-lNTEREsTlNG
EXPERIMENT.

Special to The Herald.
SANTIAGO, Santo Domingo, March
22.-Encouraging results from the ad-
ministration of common salt as rem
edy against excessive perspiration in
the case of marching troops are re-
ported by Marine Corps officials here.
Sweat contains about six parts of
salt in the thousand. A tropical days
march results in the emulation of
three to four quarts of sweat, with a
salt content of 200 to ESQ grains.
For experimental purposes about
100 Marines were given a teaspoonful
of salt (about rs grains) in the morn
ing before beginning their days
march. After a tropical march of
nearly twenty miles the Marines thus
dosed exhibited much less fatigue
than their comrades, and their per-
spiration was but a fraction of that of
the others.

Shakespeare and Scott.

Those two great geniuses, Shakes.
speare and Scott, saw good in every
thing; and they did not keep their best
talk and best manners for literary peo-
pie. In their wonderful way they
missed nothing. They heard a chance
remark which you or I would forget
they heard, perhaps, a story told by
some dull fellow; and they made it
into something beautiful and infinitely
pathetic for the everlasting Joy of the
world. Shakespeare and Scott were
gladly received in town--lions whose
roaring was always sure of an atten-
tive audience-but they both loved
the country, too. They both enjoyed
country sports and jokes. Scott was
professional lawyer as well as a man
of letters, and one day one of his
learned friends asked Scott's small son
why they made more fuss about his
father than anybody else. The little
fellow pondered for a moment, and
then answered very gravely: Its COM
