Bx-Scnater Tliemas W. rnlmer, of Michigan, who has lccn nemlnatcil min ister te Spain, has been called the bucolle fccnater of Michigan. He is ft great breeder of horses nnd is an enthusiast en the Perchcren breed. He has a beauti ful farm near Detroit, nnd would rather rnlse horses, he has said, than be in efTlcc, Some years nge he saw Kesa Bonheur's "Herso Fair" in A. T. Stow Stew art's gallery in New Yerk. He was par ticularly struck with the Perchcren horses painted there, and sent nn agent nbread te procure seme of this rare stock. The ngent was nlue Instructed te sccure flne Arabian mares, which the senator desited te cress with the Perchcren horses. Ujieii his arrival nt Damascus he learned that n firman had been issued by the miltun prohibiting the further expor tation of horse becnute of the probability of war, In which they would be needed. This did net daunt Senater Palmer's ngent, neither did the historical lcllef that no Arabian horses are ever disced of except us gifts te royal personages nnd for purposes of war. He pushed en, nnd had llttle treuble in persuading the sultan te roveko hli firman In the Inter est of n United Slates senator. He was elated by his succebs, but he failed In his effort te get the horses. The rules against selling did net prevent; he failed from a far different cause. Bvcry herse shown lit in wnsBp.iiim.-d. ilngberiid, wind bro ken, blind or tillllctcdwith boiiie ether disease te which horses, even the pink eyed, soft skinned Arabian tpceles, nre subject. Only ene horte did the fccn fccn nterlal ngent i.ce that apparently was worthy of being transported teAnicrlca, nnd that one, en clese Inspection, proved nlHO te be unsound. The enterprise was given up In despair. Though falling le get lib Arab horses Senater Palmer's ngent returned with twenty-four of the finest Pcrchcieii horses ever brought te America. They wcre purchased ut La Pc-iche and taken te Mr. Palmer's Teit Hill faun. Mr. Palmer has thus given n descrip tion of his first oxperience with his favmltes: "The horses in e generally of n dapple gray, though they may be black, nnd new and tlieu me bay or chestnut. They nre heavy horses, weighing 1,000 pounds mid upwnid. Thtiy hue n flne no tion, n ilue bkln,! flne coats, gieat strong th mid great cudurnnce for work nnd travel.

The next day iny farmer dreve them Inte the city of Detroit, and, though they had uevcr seen n crowd of people, nn elect! ie car, n street car or steam car, or the hummer able objects displayed In a business city, they showed no fear only n kind of iaudable curiosity.

Twe years nge he had $100,000 wetth of these horses. On his farm Senater Palmer has built a vciy handsouie heuse of legs. A couple of jeais nge, when he took n tcore of prominent men te the Michigan dub icunlen at Detroit, among the diversions olTeied te hli guests the tcua tcua ter suggested n trip out te his leg house. A paity was inade up, nnd the keeper el theiuralietreat was told te get up n dinner for fifteen peiseus. But In sem! waythoweid get mound that Senater Palmer was going te glve a "grand spread" nt his leg heuse, and when he and Ll3 gucstB btaitcd for their drive through the woedJ they wcre surprised te flud ether wagon leads fieiug hi the eamodliectleu. "I think," said the senator, "that it would be eafe te uilse that dinner order te twenty-flve." Acceidlngly he stepped Inte a stere thai had n telephone, and iniscd his order te twenty-live. When the leg heuse win reached, the senator was eppallcd te find about i.'00 hungry and thirsty individual! awaiting his dinner. They were net in terlepcrJ, but men of distinction in Mich igan attending the club reunion, and the beuatei'B natural hospitality lueliucd him te treat them well. "But what bhall I de?" appealed th distracted steward. "Diuuer for twenty twenty llve nnd hore nre 2001" "Can't j ou kill n Jersey cow?" "There isn't time." But here u brlllLiut idea btruck the senator. "Why. I'll tell jeu what te de," he 6ald. "We'll call itii lunch, uetuditmer. Dinner for twenty-ihe ought te uiake lunch for 200." And thci t-upen the "lunch" was spread. That it was a success Is indicated by the remaik of ene of his Washington guests. "Palmer," eald he, "an a 'dinner' thij is n trllle light; but as a 'lunch,' it is the ilnest thim: I ever saw In my life." AUtK.t mill lt hciili.

He used liquor habitually early in llfe, ns every ene clse did, but gave it up when Malno liccame a tempcrnnce nlate, con tinuing the use of tobacco, however, le the end.
