HORSE, 81,
WILL NOT BE SHOT
Many Friends Send Checks to Feed
1t Like King in the Remaining
Years of It's Life.

CATAWISSA, Pa. - The oldest
horse in the world, 81 years of age,
will not be killed, because the Rev.
Uriah Myers, its owner, is too poor
to feed it. Instead it will celebrate the
few remaining years by romping about
the farm, feasting on a diet that would
be milk and honey" for the gods.
Clover is hey gelding, sixteen
hands high, weighing about LOO
pounds. He has been the Rev. Mr.
Myers pet for thirty-hve years, ever
since he was 10. Recently the Rev.
Mr.. Myers announced that he could
no longer feed the animal His funds
were getting low, and rather than sell
| it he wanted it killed and buried on
his homestead
The plea touched the hearts of hun
dreds OF horse lovers. Checks poured
in from all parts OF the country The
Rev Mr.. Myers gratefully accepted
| the assistance and will feed the horse
on the fat of the land
Proof of Clover'S age was lacking
beyond the thirty-five years which the
| Rev. Mr. Myers vouches for. Then DR..
r. W. McCully, one of the foremost
veterinarians in the country, and chief
physician" at the New York Jockey
| Club, was sent to examine the horse.
He reported that Clover was the old
est horse he had ever seen, and while
still sound and cean-limbed he is
easily 81 years old.
Il first examined the horses mouth.
then his legs and hoofs, as though |
were passing on a thoroughbred DR..
McCuily said. Il found his general
condition good. He is sound in wind
and had wonderfully clean legs. There
is a lustre to his coat that is remark
able in an animal so old. His only
llemish is a cataract on the right eye.
This is not necessarily traceable to
advanced age.
Il believe constant care, careful
| i1ading and regular but not too siren
nous exercise are responsible for Clio
ver's long life No horse in the best
appointed racing stable in this country
is fed better or more carefully select
ed food DIR. Myers, for all that he
IS a man of the cloth, is good horse
man, too.
"Clover's ration, twice daily, CON
sists OF one scoop Of bran, one OF mid
dlings and two OF a mixture of oats,
clover and molasses, topped off with
three ears OF corn. 1t takes him a
long time to eat this as he mastiCates
slowly.
1T is hard to tell the exact age OF
horse by his teeth after the fifteenth
year. However, the contour OF the
mouth changes with age In young
horse the teeth meet at an obtuse an
gle, but as the animal grows older
the angle becomes more and more
acute. Judging by this, Clover has the
oldest mouth | ever saw. His incisors
are as long ass mans forehnger and
straight in the jawbone. The most sur
prising thing is that the teeth are in
as good condition as those OF a To-
year-old horse. His molars are perfect
and in this lies the secret of his
ihealth."

IN MEMORY OF MER-
GER KIRKLAND POWELL

Our community was saddened by
the death Of Mercer Kirkland Powell
the young son, of Mr. and Mrs. ]. NJ
Powell, jr,, who departed this life
early in the morning on May 10th.
II he had lived he would have been
sixteen years old on the 18th of Aug
ust. He was confined to his bed about
two months and suffered untold agony
Throughout his illness, but at the final
end passed away without struggle,
leaving the blessed assurance that he
was going to rest.
a few days before he died he said
to his mother: 4 am gonig to die, but
| will be at rest; | only hate to leave
you all"
All was done that loving hands
could do Five doctors attended him
but all to no avail. Dying in his youth
he has missed much sin and woe.
Kirk was a good boy, and has left a
name unsulled. He united with the
Methodist church about two years ago
and has lived an exemplary life. Many
are the sweet and tender reCOlleCtions
cnShriucd in the hearts of his loved
ones, and many loving, gracious ut
terances are offered to his memory.
The loss is ours but the gain is Kinks,
The great mass of flowers tends to
confirm the high esteem in which he
was held by his friends
He seemed to appreciate so much
the company and help of George
Fletcher and Mack Powell, while they
were years Older than he they were
boys with him and had so much il
common. Let hope and faith mingle
with our natural sorrows and may we
look to that future where sundered
ties OF earth are reunited. From
friends who loved him.

NJ. Jumper.
