The Magic Plough Horses
Copyrighted, 1921, v. S. Feature
Service, Inc, New York.

Small Jock, the plough boy OF the
mountain. knew that the time OF
early Spring had come when he
should hitch his coal black horse
and his snow white horse to the
copper plough that the giant had
given his father. and 90 down into
the valley TO plough the rich no
bles' fields.
And tits little Jock that wonders
what crops they will ask me to give
them this year," said the boy, as
he and his father polished up the
great plough.
His father was silent for min
ute. then said:
Little Jock. 'tis your father that
.ells you that two crops will your
horses and plough be asked to
giye-those Of beauty and those OF
use. But do your work we'll. and
give what they ask"
Then away went the horses. the
shining plough, and little red-pan-
talooned Jock down the mountain
side.
Now you must know that the
ploughing that this outfit did was
no ordinary thing Only the very
rich could AFFORD to have the magic
horses and plough do their Spring
work on the fields. for this was
their way Of labor.
The coal black horse would paw
at the earth, while the snow white
horse shifted at the air. Then
would the owner come to little Jack
and say:
Give me sesame or peas or bar
ley or roses or cabbages," or what
ever he willed
Jock would whisper but the word
Of the crop into the horses's cars.
and away they would canter over
the hard ground. Then the copper
plough would open up wide, rich.
soft burrows, and up in the furrows
would spring little green shoots,
that grew and blossomed and fruit
ed until ct the end OF a Gays
ploughing. the piece OF land was
full Of that crop for which the
owner had asked.
Many a rtch man had opened
wide his Golfers and told Jock to
take what he would for the magic
horses and plough. but Jock ever
but smiled and said:
The plough and horses belong
to my father. But pay me my
worth for your growing field. and
will come to you next year. and
yet the next
Now It happened that on this
particular Spring morning Jock
was on his way to the home Of old
nch Bellum. who had first spoken
for his SDrinV work Jock did not
like this Job. for Bellum kept many
fierce pets. snd had his fields ali
planted with strange seeds which
he fed to these queer beasts.
Old Bellum, dressed in 4 black
velvet morning suit. met Jock Of

his grounds. while behind him
walked sweet Media, his daughter.

said the old man, while Media
gaEed at her father with sorrowful
eyes. This year I will 1t that the
north meadow shall be planted with
black seeds of the nitrenower upon
which my black dragon feasts With
huge delight. II by sunset the field
shall yield a Thousand bushels of
the seed. you shall have a scoop OF
gold from my treasure chest"
Jock made no smiling answer,
for the sun shone brightly and the
Spring breezes played, and who on
such day would not will to make
roses to grow rather than black
dragon food?"
All the sorrier did he feel when
Media called out in a piteous tone
to her father. and said:
Father, you know that to me you
promised the north field for the
golden poppies. for there is no
other spot where they will grow.
Besides, II you feed that hideous
dragon upon black nitre seed he
will be hercer than ever and rend
me to pieces. Even yesterday,
when full of such strength as only
milk could give him. he tore at my
sleeve and scratched the whiteness
Of my arm"
But old Bellum only grinned an
evil grin, and ordered Jock to the
north field. The black horse was
afre with zeal for work, but the
white horse moved slowly and cast
reproachful glances at Jock, who
also went slowly to his task.
His reluctance to command the
plough to make black nitre seed
was all the more when. upon reach
ing the field he found the sweet
Media waiting for him there, and
who implored that he would dis
obey her father and sow for her
golden poppies.

I suspect the senators will see how the

thing and is game enough to be good
natured when tho other fellow has
manouvred him into n losing position.
That is how 1t stands today. Tho
air is tremulous with the pulling
and hauling. II may never be put In
words--such situations rarely are-but
that is how 1t is working out Ali this

VIII Hoover Accept,
or course. assuming that Mr.. Hard
ing outplays the senators there will
still remain the question of whether
Mr.. Hoover will accept the commerce
department The post Mr.. Hoover was
willing to take was tho interior de-
partment. Mr.. Hoover is an engineer,
and he wanted an engineering job. Tho
commerce department may not appeal
to him but by offering him the latter
Mr.. Harding did not intend to honor
him the less.
An Enlarged Department
Mr.. Harding intends to enlarge and
dignity the commerce department. He
wants Mr. HuSneS ana whoever gers
the commerce department to work
hand in hand for the expansion OF
American commerce. I have been told
he wants the secretary OF commerce
to Join with the secretary of state in
appointing our consuls to foreign
ports. Mr.. Hoover. aside from feeling
that the commerce department is not
adapted to him, may or may not have
other reasons for deciding to get in
Mr.. HardinE's cabinet or TO stay out.
In either event. assuming that what
is said here is correct analysis, the
Hoover following will be entitled TO
say that Mr.. Harding did his best un-
der circumstances that called for, both
determination and astutcncss. As for
Mr.. Hoover, he will have a most inn
portant decision to make. and one in
which the clements as they affect both
himself personally and also his fol-
lowing, are diverse and intricate.

GOVERNOR INDICTED
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

The Illinois scandal, or comedy
whichever way you look at it-had an
amazing development when Governor
Small, indicted for epbezzlement Of
state funds, decided that he was i'm
mune to arrest during his term In Of
fee and considered the calling out of
state troops to protect himself. His
lawyers, appearing before Judge Smith
of Springfield as "amlci curiae," ad-
vised the court that the governor was
immune, ridiculously baslng their as
sertion on the old maxim that "the
king can do no wrong" The Judge
humored their solemn dignity with a
long and erudite opinion, in which he
completely riddled their position,
turned their authorities against them
selves and made 1t quite clear that
In his view these friends of the court
were offering decidedly unfriendly ad-
vice. He ruled that the governor, like
any other man, was not Immune to ar
rest and prosecution for crime, and
ordered the sheriff to take him into
custody after giving him reasonable
time to surrender. At this writing
Mr.. Small is still at large, comforting
with his political friends, presumably
trying to find some way out Of the di.
lemma.

$4,000 FOR
WASHINGTON PARK

By an appropriation of the New
Jersey Legislature made available on
July l, $4,000 is now put at the dis
posal of the Conservation and Devel-
opment Department to be used at the
iWashington's Crossing Park, 1t is
probable that the old McKonkey
ferry house and grounds will be pur-
chased and restored to its Revolu-
tionary style.
To make the park what is desired
however, more land will be necessary.
and another appropriation is to be ask
ed in 1922 The State already owns
100 acres. When the entire section is
under the park commissions juris-
diction it will be laid out in park
style, with new highway winding
through it on the highest ground, and
two entrance arches erected, one
known as the Trenton gate and the
other the Lambertville gate. The
Pennsylvania park project is also de-
veloping in a. satisfactory manner and
it is logical to believe that the two
states will cooperate. Possibly a
memorial bridge will span the river
at this historic spot.
