In the Good Old Days It Was
Sport, Not Commercialism.
Did 1 raise a fuss with the major?
What sort of skate do you take me
for? Next time I met him I told him
I liked tbe roan better than any horse
I ever saw. 'Be Isn't always rooting
In the ground like a pig.' said I. "and
if vou bad told me about bis patent
dirigible neck I'd nave given yon $10
more.' We were sports In those days.
"One time the veterinary surgeon
told me about a floe trotting horse In a
town some distance away which had
heen deprived of its tail by a surgical
oneratloti. I went and looked at the
horse. He was a perrect beauty ana
could trot like an avalanche. But be
had lust a stump of a tall, and tbe
owner was ashamed to drive him, so
1 bought the critter for a song. 1 went
to a lot of trouble having a tail made
for him. It was a beautiful, flowing
tail, a credit to the hairdressers art.
it wns fixed to slin over the horse's
stub tall and was theu fastened to the
crupper of i lie harness, aud a mail
needed good eyes to see that It wiisii i
the real thing.
The major had poor eyes, and when
1 took him for -a drive behind thai
black Holier lie simply hud to he tied
down to the wilt he was so excited.
He said he'd always wanted a horse
.irj. n tall like that. He had my own
weakness. Fie couldn't preiend Indif
ference when he wanted a thing the
worst way, and be wanted that horse
so bad that his hair was falling out.
After a great deal of deliberation I
issued mv ultimatum.
" 'I'll give you the home, harness
and buggy Just as they stand.' said I.
'for your sorrel threo-yeur-olds and
$50.' Either of the sorrels wns worth a
herd of horses like the black.
"It's a trade, cried the major.
"Next morning the major came
nroiind to my bam all smiles. 'Ever
since 1 was a child and qui! playing
.h n rattle.' says he. '1 have wanted
n horse with n detachable tail - a lull
that a man could take off and use as
chin whiskers at a masked hall. I Just
culled to pay yon another ISO cents, so
that wben 1 meet you aner tnis you
can't say 1 took advantage of you In
our trade yesterday.'

Notice of Final Account
A Custom 8omewhat Common Among
the Yellow Races.
A French savant. It, Lannelongue. In
a communication to the Paris Acad
emy of Sciences maintains that among
the yellow races, the Cbluese, the Jap
anese and the Malays, the foot Is used
as an organ of prohenslou. like tbe
hand, to a far greater extent than Is
cpnprallv sutmosed. He says that while
In Tokyo he saw a young man sitting
. . i,i.
In a theater box grasping me ran nu
hla feet lust as though Ihey were bauds.
ever and anon using his right foot to
scratch bis left thigh The fact that
the Japanese usually sit on their heels
at meals and In the house develops
extreme suppleness and mobility in
the feet and toes, and the prehenslve
function is still further encouraged by
the fact that tbe Japanese who adhere
to the ancient customs wear forked
stockings nuii dispense with the Index
ible and constraining European shoe.
Chinese iiosttiicn navigate their boats
lying dewn. steering with their annus
and rowing with their feet The oar
is held between the bl lot aud the
others. The natives frequently use
their feet to collect and to pick up
small objects lying on the grouud, and
sometimes even catch mice with their
toes. M. Lannelongue holds that the
yellow races, who are able to use their
feet somewhat as the elephant uses
his trunk or the monkey his tall, enjoy
a very considerable advantage In the
everlasting struggle for existence over
the less fortunate Caucasians, who are
able to employ their feet only for loco
motion purposes.-Phlladelpula Ledger.
