City Draft Horses.

The man who loves a good horse Of
the draft type finds much to admire
in the streets of New York, where
some of the finest specimens of the
CNdesdale and Percheron families go
about their duties with sobriety and
level headedness Characteristic of the
best specimens of these generally
useful breeds.
The Ideal draft horse is a quick
walker and he must be sweet of tenn
per as well as sure of foot, for New
York pavements in some sections are
not ideal and all of them are treacher-
GUS In weather such as held the me-
tropolis icebound for much Of last
winter. The best examples weigh
from 1,500 to LOO pounds and triple
hitch of such horses represents the
last word where efficiency is meas
ured in actual horsepower.
A trio of Clydesdale grades that were
built like Tom SHARKEY-short of
leg and broad Of chest-their shoul-
ders and arms bulging with muscle
and their powerful quarters buttressed
with layers of sinew that rippled
plant beneath the skin at every step,
turned out of Third avenM a few
days ago with huge load of coal and
breasted the rise to Madison avenue.
Each horse was up in the collar, doing
his bit with tightened traces, and the
man holding the reins, with an eye
for nothing but his charges, was evil
IDENTIFY proud of them.
Near Madison avenue a halt was
made. The wagon was lined to the
curb and at word from his driver
the nigh horse of the team took his
place on the sidewalk. Man o. War
could not have executed the move
ment with more grace or agility
There was caress for each of the
trio as the heavy woollen blankets
were adjusted and from the manner
ir which the three nuzzled their guar
Clan it was evident that bond of
affection linked man and horses in a
way that must always gladden. the
hearts Of those who are fond Of
this most useful type Of the animal
kingdom.
"a good team" ventured a by
srander who had been reared in the
country and knew the draft horse
intimately.
"Good?" was the drivers comment,
as he viewed the horses with pride.
9Th tell the world they're the best
team in New York"
Doubtless there are hundreds Of
other best" teams in New York, in
the estimation of those who have to
do with them day after day. all play
ing their part in the economic upkeep
of the city and adding to its comfort
and attractiveness.

Portraits of President Wilson, King
Albert OF Belgium. Premier Lloyd
George, Premier Clemenceau, Gen. Per-
shing and other distinguished leaders
of the allied nations will be shown to-
day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
TO the members Of the museum and their
guests, and beginning tomorrow, to the
general public These are the long ex-
pected portraits painted for the National
Art Committee at the time of the Peace
Conference and intended for presenta-
tion to the National Portrait Gallery
at Washington.
The National Art Committee was the
outgrowth of strong feeling upon the
part of group of patriotic citizens that
the historic occasion of the peace con-
ference should not pass unrecorded in
the annals OF American art, and they
conceived the idea of sending some of
the most eminent of our artists to Paris
to obtain sittings from the celebrated
factors in the memorable event. The
committee was accordingly formed, with
Henry White as chairman, and the fol-
lowing members. Mrs. w. II. Crocfer,
Robert w. De Forest. Mrs. Il. II. Harri-
man, Arthur W. Meeker, Herbert l..
Pratt. j. Pierpont Morgan, Charles +.
IdlI, OnarIeS -. WalcOIt, ADTaHl 6dr-
field and the late Henry G. Frick.
The permanent disposition of the por-
traits was decided upon when Charles ID.
Walcott of the Smithsonian Institution
approved of the committees project for
housing the collection in the museum of
which he is the head, thus laying the
foundation for a national portrait gall
lery. 1t was Henry White who dis
sipated all the difficulties of obtaining
sittings at q time when all the individ-
uals concerned had TO make the incest
as to the distribution of
their time.
The artists chosen were Edmund c.
Tarbell, who painted President Wilson,
Foch, Herbert Hoover and Gen.
Leman Douglas Volk, who painted King
Albert, Gen. Pershing and Lloyd
George Cecilia Beaux, who painted
Premier Clemenceau. Cardinal Mercier
and Admiral Beatty John c. Johansen,
who painted Marshal Joffre, Field Mar
shall Haig Gen. Diaz and q group of
the signers of the peace terms in the
HALL of Mirrors at Versailles; Joseph
De Camp, who painted Premier Borden
and Gen. Currie; Irving r. Wiles, who
painted Admiral Sims. and Charles Hop

Strangers in His Home.
A House Owner Who Suffers Because
Tenant Won't Move.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: In jan
uary, 1920, l purchased a two family
house. my object being to occupy one
apartment and to rent the other TO my
elder daughter and her husband My
youngest daughter was to be married
and she and her husband were to make
their home with us.
We were happy In the thought that
we had found a home to house us all
comfortably and were willing for the
present to live IN cramped quarters until
the expiration, on October /, 1920, of
the lease held by the tenant of the lower
floor In March, when we moved into
the house, we informed the tenant that
she must move on October 1, this giving
her seven months notice.
This tenant is a widow of some means
with no dependents She owns five ga
RACES, which bring her an income, and
she has permanent employment IN a
store Boarding with her are four
trained nurses, ablebodied women with
out dependents.
On October 1. when the tenant did not
move. we engaged a lawyers service and
after preliminary hearing the case
came up in the Municipal Court on
November 30, under Judge Cragen, who
decided in our favor and told the tenant
to move by January 3. 1921. On Janu-
ary 8 the tenant was still in possession
Of the premises and our lawyer again
brought the case into the Municipal
Court. This time Judge Hazelton ruled
that the tenant could stay.
My living conditions are therefore very
unpleasant at present My wife. two
daughters son-in-law, their infant boy
and myself are cramped in small five
room apartment which has but two bed
rooms. My daughters furniture, bought
with the expectation of soon using II in
her own home, is in storage
This is one case in which the rent laws
have caused a rank injustice. J. E.B.

Thrift and Pinchpenny.

This is Thrift Week. 1t approprl-
ately includes this the birthday of the
great philosopher Ben FRANKLIN.
A good many folk think Thrift is
kinsman Of Pinchpenny. They are
wrong. Thrift has noA of the Pinch
penny blood in his veins.
Thrift uses his time, his strength,
his mind intelltgently, and makes his
money serve his needs and minister
to his pleasure. He labors hard at
things worth doing, but wastes no eff
fort on things not worth doing. He
has time for play, for observation,
for study. His hand opens quickly
when his head tells him 1t is time to
spend or his heart counsels giving.
Thrift has learned to make the dol
lars he has earned work for him.
Pinchpenny sweats for his money
and all its life long he is its slave.
He fears to enjoy himself because he
fears to let go of his purse. He does
uOJ udtt " put OuL Ills mOhOss pS'NS
haunted by the thought that it may
not come back to him. When Oppor-
tunity knocks at his door he sends
word he is not at home, and keeps
on counting coppers when he might
send them forth to bring back coins
Of gold. Pinchpenny starves his
mind, his body and his soul, for his
hours are filed with anxiety and de-
pressing forebodings.
Thrift is an admirable fellow whom
we should all initiate. He knows
what money is for, and he uses it to
make things go. He keeps the shops
open and the factories running. He
will not be swindled, but he is not so
foolish as to go without what he
wants and can afford to buy.
This is Thrift's week, not Pinch
penny's. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN taught
Thrift. but never Pinchpenny.

Irish Terms Explained.
Meaning and Pronunciation Of Sim

To THE NEw YORK HERALD: I will

Our Intentions Toward Cuba.

Without a diligent first hand study
of the dual political and financial diff
culties in Cuba nobody can be fitted
to say precisely how the situation is
going TO work out or what measures
are required to restore order and con
fidence. For this reason the Admins
tration at Washington did a sensible
thing in sending an agent there in the
person of Major-G General ENocH II.
CRowDER, fine officer, an efficient
administrator and also well posted on
the affairs of Cuba, particularly in a
political sense.
We believe, however, that if our
people We're disposed to study the re-
lations of this country with Cuba in
the light of the broad democratic
principles for (which America stands
protest would have been made
against sending Major-G General Crow
DER to Cuba on a warship, excellent
as was the choice of the man.
The vessel which was employed in
transporting our agent to Cuba makes
little difference to this country, but
after the revelations in Hayti the
sending of a military officer to Cuba
on a war vessel cannot but confuse
the rest of the world with regard to
our West Indian policy.
For us of course the incident in
Cuba teaches the lesson that, no mat
ter how good our intentions, when
ever we assume the responsibility of
administering territories until they
shall become able 10 govern them
selves, that responsibility does not
end the moment we withdraw in
favor of native administration 1t
teaches us also that hasty withdrawal
may prove as embarrassing as the
other extreme of staying longer than
This will be a valuable
aid in determining whether we are
TO listen to the arguments of those
who would have us cut loose from the
Philippines in the near future and
risk the necessity Of later interven-
tion and the international complica-
tions which always lurk in the shadow
of such action.
To foreign Powers the method we
have used to send an agent to advise
Cuba has a very definite meaning.
They will judge us by their own
standards A military officer planted
in the midst Of Turkey, Syria, India,
Egypt or Persia means that those
countries will do well to adjust them
selves to military dictatorship as the
easiest way TO avoid unpleasant CON
sequences. Foreign Powers, and par
ticularly those having colonies, enter
tain no regard whatever for our pol
icy of educating countries under our
protection to govern themselves. The
popular fashion has been to educate
colonies to fit themselves for govern
ment from beyond the seas.
What the Cubans themselves think
of our method Of despatching a rep
resentative to help them settle their
problems we do not yet know. If de-
spite our clumsy diplomacy they take
1t in good part and listen to Major
General CRowDER's advice while clos
ing their eyes to the warship off their
shores, 1t will be fortunate for all
concerned.
Just now, when America is exam
pied as the arch enemy Of imperial
ism, special care must be exercised
to avoid giving ammunition to those
who seek opportunity to impugn the
integrity of our motives.
