his opposition.
"I like you and your manner," was
the reply, "but your preaching, sir, I
disapprove."
"Then," said Mr. Brown, "we are
agreed. 1 do not like my preaching
very well myself, but how great a fol

opinion against that of the whole par

MAN'S DEBT TO THE HORSE.
I
A Docile, Willing, and Useful Bervant
for Ages.
Of all dumb brutes the horse is the
one which most deserves the gratitude
of man. It has been his docile and
willing servant for ages. It has help
ed him to conquer the reluctant earth.
It has eased and aided htm in the dull
business of getting a living. It has
played a greater part in human pro
gress than many a race of men.
Until man had made the horse his
servitor and ally, the thing that we
now know as civilization was out of
his reach. The mere labor of getting
hla dally bread consumed all of his
energies. But when the first plow
horse threw Its weight forward a new
era dawned for humanity. Thereafter
man began to have leisure to plan and
dream. Life became to him less a
matter of muscle and more a matter
of mind. It was then that progress
really began.
The horse appeals very little to the
theatrical sense. It is a silent, pati
ent, undemonstrative beast, with 'lit
tle of the humanlike emotionalism of
the dog. It does not dash Into raging
torrents to save Its master's life; It
is not a destroyer of burglars and kid
nappers; It does not cuddle down on
hearth rugs. One rarely loves a
horse, perhaps, as one sometimes
loves a dog. But ln»those drab but in
valuable virtues which distinguish
the honest friend and true comrade,
willing to take his share of labor In
the heat of the day, the horse is with
out a peer.
The day of the horse, say the
prophets, is well nigh done. In an
other generation or two he will give
way to soulless machines. We two
legged mortals will eat him, perhaps,
or watch him race around a track, but
we will no longer need him in our end
less battle with the pltless earth. So
be It! Let him go - but let us not for
get him. Time was when there were
no devil wagons or gasoline engines,
no locomotive or steam thrashers, and
In that time man and the horse, labor
ing valiantly side by side, conquered
continents and made the waste places
bloom.
Keeping Its Fishers at Home.
The bread which Indiana scattered
on the waters has begun to return to
her. More than live years ago the
state tlsh and game commission began
systematically to stock the lakes and
streams of that state with fish. Util
izing the many lakes in Its northern
part as breeding grounds, the com
mission succeeded in securing several
million fish of desirable quality. These
were then distributed about the vari
ous water courses and lakes of the
state.
As a result it is now estimated that
about $3,000,000 Is annually spent in
Indiana by outsiders who go there to
fish. It Is quite likely that as much
more Is spent there by Indlanlans
who previously went elsewhere for
their sport. The cost of stocking the
lakes was comparatively small. The
handsome returns show that the
money was well expended. Chicago
Tribune.
The "Luck" of Peacock's Feathers.
The peacock's feathers superstition
is nothing like so common as it used
to be. Perhaps Whistler's celebrated
Peacock Room helped to break it
down. At any rate, Peacock's feath
ers are ordinary enough articles of
decoration in many happy and placid
homes. There are shops in London
that keep these bringers of misfortune
at a shilling a bundle. Did the super
stitltion orglnute because of the re
puted pride of the peacock, on the
"pride shall have a fall" theory? Or
1b It that the "eye" of the feather is
supposed to see undersirable happen
ings, which somehow get published
upon the housetops? One rather feels
that the beautiful tail was nature's
compensation to the bird for giving it
the most abominable of all voices.—
London Chronicle.
No Nickname with J.
What you want to do for that kid,"
said the old bachelor, who had backed
off suspicuously from the new baby,
"is to call him something that can't
be nicknamed. The way to do that
Is to give him J for a middle Initial.
I have made a study of proper names
and their nicknames, and I have fig
ured out that there Isn't one chance
In a million of the boy whose middle
name begins with J ever being nick
named. Positive Immunity is guaran
teed by William J. Just cast your eye
over the William J's you have heard
of, and see If one of them is ever
called Bill by any except the hopeless
ly Jocular, and even they don't dare
say It to William J.'s face."
Music of the Stone Age.
The reproach that England Is not
a musical nation will be no longer
heard after the Army Pageant is pro
duced next June. Mr. Christopher Wil
son will shatter the Illusion. He is
going to reproduce the music of the
Stone Age by means of "marrowbones
struck with flints, the hollow bone
giving out a curiously resonant note."
The same Instruments struck with
knives will produce a "melodious con
cord" representative of the Iron Age.
Chloroform Zoo Animals.
The practice of cutting the claws
of the more ferocious animals of the
London zoological garden has recently
been greatly facilitated by chloroform
ing the animals. Heretofore It was
done by sheer force by a squad of men.
the animal being first secured by
ropes.
