therefore, how excellent a recruiting

found In Tripoli and Morocco.
"Every grain of barley given to a
horse is registered In the register of
'Good Works,'" s.iid Mohammed, and
various passages In the Koran betoken
Ihe prophet's deep appreciation of the
value of horses to his people. We
know with Bome degree of certainty
that horses were lldden 1000 B. C..
that chariots were In use probably
2,000 years previously. But It was
left to the people of the prophet
to forge the true connecting link In
the chain between our modern Derby
jwinner and the horses of the prime.

Happily we were able to take the
Arab horse and his near relative, the
Barb, and by their help to evolve a
distinct breed which is superior to
both parent stocks in size, strength,
speed and perhaps In power of en-
durance. I refer, of course, to our
thoroughbred horse. The assertion that
the modern thoroughbred is superior
to the modern Arab in the points Just
mentioned may not exactly coincide
with opinions which imply that our

mistake, and that the two centuries

May it not have been because the

Impressed themselves so firmly upon

clashing of types when breeders came
to mate the two? It must be remem-

Speaking of agents and peddlers and
such—one of them called at an East
and home the other day and started
his spiel as follows:
"Madam, I have been requested by
a number of persons to call here and
show you our new patent doorbell.
Everybody says the only reason you
haven't a bell is because you've never
thought of it. They say they knock
and knock and spoil your paint and
their own knuckles and then have to
go away disappointed."
"That may be true—I hadn't
thought of It," 6ald the housewife.

will it cost? Here's the money—give

In the delivery office carefully exam- j
Ined the bill of lading as if he had
never seen one before, and then look- j
ed at me.
"Want a broker for this; don't '
you?" he asked, looking over his .
spectacles.
"Not much; If I can't get this my- [
self, 1 guess nobody else will. They j
said at the oflice you would tell^ue
what to do."
"Who. Me? I have nothing to do j
with it. You had better go back to

was going to ais doom. Just Inside

all the space.

was now a few minutes to 3. He
looked at the slip.
