Let me see. In the last story the Old
Brown Horse was going for al drive In
the Luckymobile with the two little
rabbits. That's right. I was not quite
sure at first whether he had gotten into
the Luckymobile or not, for sometimes
It's a hard thing for a horse to climb
onto the back seat OF an automobile
without losing one of his iron shoes.
Well as soon as he was comfortably
seated Uncle Lucky honked the horn and
away they went, and pretty soon they
came to the Fair Grounds. So Uncle
Lucky bought three tickets and drove
in thru the big gate and put the Lucky
mobile away in one of the long sheds
where the farmers put their horses and
wagons, and then he and Billy Bunny
and the Old Brown Horse went over
to watch the horse races.
Well pretty soon the Old Brown
Horse got so excited that he wanted to
go into the race, too. But at first the
man who managed the Fair wouldn't
let him, but the Old Brown Horse beg
ged 50 hard that at last the man said:
IF you'll let Billy Bunny ride You in
the next race pll let you try it"
All right" said the Old Brown Horse.
and ne kicked up his heels and neighed,
he was SO happy. you see.
you must put on jockey suit said
the man to Billy Bunny. and he led the
little rabbit to little house where. he
gave him red silk jacket and pair OF
white breeches and two shiny black
hightop boots. And then he gave him q
little whip and put red and white
cap on his head.

Mr.. Ford's ForoctfuIne...

Divers inquis.tive folks have been
catechizing AIr Henry Ford. They
ask him point -olank whether he is a
republican or a democrat. As a
shrewd gentleman with friends in
10th camps, he smilingly puts the
question by. From the marble tablets
OF his memory he reads this inscrfp-
ton:
Years ago when vas just past
my twenty first birthday, my father
said to me: Henry, you are man

his interest in politics is shown by

Training for Atrocity,

| William c. Seldom, a Baltimore
banker and son of the secretary Of
| war Of the confederacy. has in New
York a friend OF German birth who
however. to his everlasting credit, has
| to some extent overcome that handi-
cap, and is now wholly American IN
spirit. Some months ago Mr. Seldom
In conversation with his friend de-
| nounced the barbarism OF Germany
| and this gentleman in reply said,
Mr. Seldom, You must remember
that the barbarism Of Germany is not
barbarian as viewed by Germans, and
! will illustrate in my own life the
reason for this.
When I grew up in Germany there
was a, student in the same school who
had something which / wanted 1t be-
longed to him. but wanted It, and !
jumped on him and beat him up so
badly that I manned him for life, but
got what wanted. When I went
home my parents patted me on the
back and commended me for my PROV
ess in taking from my follow student
what I wanted. They told me that I
must always follow that method.
What my parents taught me in this
way has for years been taught in all
German families and in German
schools. It permeates the very life of
Germany. and, therefore. an act Of
harbarisrn as Americans think of bar
barism Is not barbarism to the Ger
mans who commit It.
HAD I continued to live in Germany
1t would never have occurred to me
that had done anything wrong. had
only followed the custom all Germans
are taught at home and in school. hut
after became & man settled in
America. and as came to understand
the spirit of American civilization 1t
grew upon me that had committed a
crime, and now for twenty-five years,
as some atonement for my sin. ] have
been supporting that crippled man and
his widowed mother. But bear in mind.
had I remained in Germany no one
would ever have thought Of suggesting
to me that l had done wrong, and IL
would never have entered into my head
that was under any obligation to the
man I had manned. In the light Of
American civilization I understand
the differencexand 7 am seeking to
atone for my sin. but all Germans have
been taught as was taught. The Ger
mans. therefore, in their campaign OF
frig htfulness are committing deeds
which from the viewpoint Of American
civilization are harbarous. but from
the viewpoint OF Germans are not
crimes at ALL
Probably no clearer light was eyer
thrown Upon the reason why Germans
can commit the awful crimes that
have stained the life of that nation
than this testimony of rich German
American who has now SO thoroughly
imbibed the spirit of American civili-
zation that he looks with horror upon
the crime which he committed and
seeks to atone for it-Manufacturers

Encourage spiri. of Adventure.

The spirit of adventure, so nearly
universal In youth, commonly is
thwarted at every turn. Yet this Is
one Of Its finest gifts; when 1t has
gone, hfe's greatest promise is past.
An educational system should nurture
and direct this spirit. bringing it to ex-
preston In daring to aim at high
standards, In adventures into new
fields of action, thought, and knowl-
edge; In desire for the hard, strenu-
GUS things which temper and stabilize
character. The sporting Instinct OF
youth demands these difficult tasks,
and life Is stale when they cannot be
found.-Arthur e. Morgan, in the At
lantis.

And never wash my face"
And lust then the race started, ano
away went all the horses as fast as
they could go-all but the old brown
horse. He was the last one of all. and

left maybe mile behind. and guess(
