more particularly to Huugiry that
heretofore horse buyers In times of
war have gone for the reason tint
Hungarian horses have been believed
to make the bext mount for rivalry
whllo Russian Imnc3 are not to be pur-
chased except with the permission of
the government nnd the Argentine U
too remote ns a rule. Now the demand
for horses for military use Is being
supplied to nn Increasing extent from
tho I'nltad States Very recently
agents of the British government be-
gan to purchase lior.so.i In Texas. By
tho lait enumeration there were 1-
100.000 horses In Texas and the sale
of several thousand of them to the
British government at prices ranging
from $30 to $70 a head (the averago
value of a horse In the United States
Is now about $17) marks a feature of
the development of a new Item of
American trade. It Is not In respect
to horses only that the United States
offer a large market to the govern-
ments of other countries for there aro
now In this country 2000.000 mules
and thousands of these have been pur-
chased for war service by the British
government In South Africa. Tho
nrmlej of Huropean countries are con-
stantly Increasing In size and with this
Increase comes the need for moro
horses. Roughly speaking there aro
1.000.000 horses required for military
service on a war footing In all coun-
tries or one horse In sixty. The re-
quirements tn the Russian army are

There were some people In t'Ulcaso

the Chicago Chronicle but there wero
others as well who were not In Chi-
cago but who hied themselves aw.iy
on an early train to the nearest golf
ground anil spent the holiday propel-
ling the little round gtittn percha 'm-
plemcnt across green fields nnd pas-
tures new. The lull of th country waa
particularly gratifying when contrast-
ed with the Jar und hustle and excite-
ment of the celebration In town. and.
while the countiy Idler wanted to
cheer for Dewey he wanted still moro
to enjoy the delights of a holiday close
to nature's heart when spring Is In
the air. So ho gavo a little cheer for
Dewey every tlmo ho drove a ball and
ho challenged his opponent to coma
on In tho Immortal words of tho im-
mortal commander "Vo-i may flro
when you nro ready Grldtey." Ho kept
tho battle of Manila In his heart and
left the sweet seclusion of streets for
Ills fellow residents with tho tastes of
the town. For tha Joys of a pageant
and the music of a band nnd the amus-
ing burlesque of the bandmaster and
the glitter and clash of the army and
tho navy and even the slht of tho
hero of the nation himself are weighed
In the scales with a game of gulf and
tho balanrc is found woefully wantlas.
Home Karl on ttia War.
During the war with tho United
Status Spain had in Havana about
100000 trained soldiers commanded
by the best o Ulcers in the SpaulsU
army and nil wildly Impatient to put
an end to their long Idleness nnd strlko
a blow In aid of their country. With
such a force bohlnd such defences. It
was little wonder tint same of General
Blanco's odlcers actually wept whea
told of the peaceful surrender of Cuba
to the Americans. Flvn hundred and
twenty Spanish soldiers held General
Law ton and his army nt bay at Caney
for ten hours and only yielded when
over 250 of them had been killed or
wounded nnd eighty had retreated.
Less than ono thousand Spanish sol-
diers on the hill nt San Juan brought
heavy lms confusion und dismay to
General Shatter's army. American
officers familiar with the surrouudlugj
of llnvnni now believe that the de-
fenses of that city could not have been
successfully stormed by nn American
army of lesi than 100.000. assisted by
tho navy nnd that oven then the Iujs
to the American sldo would have been
at least 20.000 men. J. D. I'helps In

There Is considerable national Inter-
est In the announcement made recently
by Senator George Graham Vest that
he will retire from public life at tha
end of his present senatorial term. TIwj
senator Is almost the last of the fa-
mous group that was for years tho
chief part of American official life.
They wcte Conkllng. Blaine. Bayard
Thurman Voorhees Heck Cockrcll
Vance Hamlin Morrill Ingalls nnd
David Davis alt giants representing a
variety of Ideas many sections and
millions of people. Senator Vest has
long been rated as one of the famous
senatorial debaters of all American
history. His sharp and ready tongue
brilliant In repartee terrible In Invec-
tive nnd clisslc in certain phases of
Its humor has been a delight to his
friends and a plague to tils enemies.
A story told about Senator Vest and
a boy Is somewhat Illustrative of tho
senator's methods In getting close to
the people. The time was not more
than ten years ago when his senato-
rial seat was not In danger. The boy
was an IS-year-oM reporter on the
Kansas City Times. The youngster
hvl neither vote nor influence. One
Mr Vest was educated at Center
College Dan7llle Ky. an Institution
that has graduated forty-four college
professors twenty-six congressmen
four United States senators seven gov-
ernors two vice-presidents of tho Unit-
ed States one Justice of the Supremo
court forty-nine editors and thirty-
nine circuit Judges.
In the early fifties Mr. Veil married
Miss Sallle Snecd of Kentucky. Tho
two 6ct out for California with never
a thought of becoming residents of tho
Mississippi Valley. The lumbering ve-
hicle was not In gold trim. A break-
down occurred at a small village ono
of tho quaint ugly. Irregular ante-
bellum settlements of the new south-
west. The place was Georgetown nnd
there It was that young Mr. and Mrs.
Vest found themsclvos at the mercy of
a broken wheel.
While the stage passengers wcri
thus awkwardly wilting an old negro
approached the young lawyer and ask-
ed his assistance The black man ex-
plained that he had a son who was
accused of murder. Feeling asiln.it
the boy was very strong an I the fath-
er pleaded with the traveling attorney
to stop and lend his assistance. -Mr.
Vest concl'ide.l to nllow the stage to
prootH'd whll he undertook tho task
of helping the negro and his boy.
When the trial was over the boy was
acquitted. A mob was speedily formed
the yomg mm was taken from tho
Jail and tn a little while he was dead.
Itecausp of his connection with this
case Vest was uot particularly popu-
lar: and for this reason ns much as
for any other he concluded to bccfmio
SENATOR VEST.

Perhaps it would never have hap-
pened had a comrade given him a
word of encouragement. But the men
were too Intent on tho grim work be-
fore them so. In tho ball of lead when
I'rlvato Cory dropped to tho ground
It was genoratly understood that a bul-
let had knocked him over. Such
howcrcr was not the case as tho am-
bulance corps following In the rear
soon discovered. Ho had merely taint-
ed from fright.
Tho doctor turned over tho shiver-
ing bit of humanity to look for the
wound found rone nnd smiled. Cases
of this kind were not unknown to him.
"Poor fellow" he murmured. "Let
him remain with the rest."
"No he Is not hurt at all" he said
to one of his assistants. "His wound
will come afterwards when ho recovers
from that faint and God help him.
then. There Is no bullet wound that
will give him the agony that Is before
him."
"Shall I throw n bucket of water
over him. sir?" asked a man with n
blood-stained bandage around his
head but sufficient of his face left un-
covered to show his Intense disgust at
his comrade.
"No. jou must not dliturb him." was
the curt answer and he turned to glo
his attention to the burdens which tho
stretchers were now quickly depoali-
ing In the improvised hospital.
"Poor lad" he mused as he bent
over his work "I must give him a
rord of encouragement when he comes
round."
But when later on. Private Cory
staggered to his feet the kindly dor-
tor wns too busy to notice him. He
looked wonderlngly around tho tent.
Then the remembrance of what he had

day when Senator Vest was in the or-
flco somebody Introduced the two. The
youngster unusued to greatness was
so much awed by Mr. Vest that ho
could not find words The senator
too: the young man by the arm.
"Come." he said starting for the ele-
vator "are you going out?"
Tho young man was nut so far as
he knew but the senator's persuasion
and gentleness chanced his mind. "Let
mo see" the big little man wont on
"don't I know your father? 1 think
I met him last year when I was mak-
ing a speech up the country."
As the elevator went down the
youth regained some of his composure.
He managed to answer the sen-
ator's question. At the bottom tho
two stopped. There the senator tilt-
ing Ills hat over his eyes nnd putting
his hands In his porkets leaned his
roly-poly form against tho wall and
beg-in to nsk questions:
"Have you been In this town long?
Do you like the newspaper business?
Where did you go to school? Do you
know about your country's history? Do
you expect to become a great man"
In the course of ten minutes the youug
man felt that he amounted to bouie-
thlug. Senator Vest has never been closely
allied to a church writes a Washing-
ton correspondent. In Missouri the
senator's great following has not re-
garded him in a religious relation; yet
with all his apparent Indifference the
senator has long been a student of the
Bible nnd a most tolerant observer of
religious faith and form In others. Two
yetrrs ago. Col. John Carroll solicitor
for the Burlington railroad system
while in Washington an buslness.call-
ed on the senator nt his home. Mr.
Vest sent word to have Col. Carroll
come up to his room. When the caller
entered he found the senator lying In
an easy chair with a nible on his
knees. He had been reading tho
Twenty-third Psalm.
"That's a beautiful thing. John." he
said; "and let me tell you that's n
mighty fino book."
"I'd llko to get a picture of you Just
now" said Col Carroll "to show to
.the folks in Missouri."
Tho senator smiled. "It might sur
prise 'em" ho said; "but I Iiavo never
cared to talk much about my religious
Ideas."

at once began to secure a following
and In a remarkable short time ha was
rated as one of the important liwyers
of the section In which he lived. In
sunshlue and storm his sense of humor
has always been one of his excelling
qualities. As a candidate before the
people his speeches brimmed with
quaint story anil allusion. In Wayno
county. Missouri. In tho early seven-
ties when Vest was a candidate In op-
position to a wealthy citizen ho sum-
med up his claims In a fow words In
one of his brilliant speecheo. "Tao

"Is a man of wealth and position. I
