Stephen, had no desk save the office

and knew no sports save struggling

Babette had recelved a little holly-
decked card, and on it were words
something like this:
“The patriotic gift this year is the
useful gift, We feel it our duty to
urge our customers to refraln from
buying nonessentials, So, Instead of
Gispleying a large stock of Christmas
candles and our usual Christmas
books and flowers, we are recommend-
ing gifts of useful household articles
and articles of apparel.”

wasn't exactly good form, but the
crowd was pushing close beside them
and no one could have seen. “It's

With the victory and peace following
the world’s war, lovers of horses, and
especially of the thoroughbred, may
well congratulate one another on the
great things in store for the American
thoroughbred, says New York Tele
graph. In the war the horse played no
small part, for It was cavalry raids
that routed the Turks, as well as to
drive back the Huns on the western
front. This country has been de-
pleted of horses fit for cavalry re-
mounts, and the United States govern-
ment has recognized the need of the

acquiring thoroughbred stallions of the
very highest type and placing them
upon government breeding farms. In
the years to come the United States
will have a higher type of horse for

horses to be congratulated, for today

millionaire paid $75,000 for three
horses. The American sold because
he expected to have his time taken

Three days after he had sold he wired
