H. backer of the Chicago Plan com mission In an address this way; "It is proposed first of all to widen and dev. lop existing rectangular streets, and, secondly, to cut diagonal streets to facilitate still more the movement of traffic. The circuit of first Import ance for Immediate relief of the Con gestion in th: heart of the city, and fcne. that will 'be typical of all otheri to be executed as the clty"s growth de man ds, is Michigan avenue, 12th street Michigan avenue 'may be called the base line of traffic of the city. A great development of this avenue 14 propos :d.

Chicago avenue, already 100 feet wide, will, If -well maintained. serve for a long time the traffic which It will ba made to carry. Connecting; as it does, with the proposed , north and south boulevard at Pine street, It will form the fourth side of the rec tangle, constituting the first circuit of Improvement." ...., HOW OLD IS YOUR HORSE. There are four ways to tell the age of a "torse, according to Prof. E. L. Potter of the Oregon agricultural col lege: by his teeth, by his ribs, by the UeBh on his tall, and by the skin on his cheeks. ' In a young horse the cheek skin Is soft and elastic, and files back quick ly when raised; In an old one, It is lifeless and.gofs back but slowly. . Old horses apparently have a wider and more distinct cpace between. their Hbs than young ones. ' And with age the flesh on the tall of a horsa shrinks making the Joints more distinct than they are on a young horse," Judging by the changes in the teeth is a more accurate method. The com ing of the temporary teeth .first, and then the permanent ones; the develop ment to maturity; the change In shape on- account of wear; the coming of the cups In the teeth, and they wear lng away afterward: and the change THE OFFICERS s of this bank will We pleased to talk with you at , ' any time concerning mutual business relations HA HEN the Federal Government, the t J county, the city and a large and growing of list commercial and private depositors entrust tneir funds to this institu- tion to the extent of $800,000.00,' you may be sure that it is a safe one for you to identify yourself with.

"It must be remembered that the permanent teeth, above and below, come In at the same time." says Prof. Potter, "but tnat the cups above do not wear away until all the cups be low are gone. It must also be remem bered that the changes begtn at the center and continue at the rate of one pair a year; that a horse at maturity, which to at five years, has everything that is, all his permanent teuh and all the cups.

The "Key of the Mediterranean" Ha Had a Stormy Hittory., England has been In possession of the rocky promontory of Gibraltar since 1704. From that time to this it has been a crown colony under the ad ministration of a governor. By reason of Its Important strategical position it la called the "key of the Mediterra nean." Gibraltar bns bud a stormy history. In 711 the rock was taken by the Arab chief Tarik. who called It Jebel-al-Tarlk (mil of Tarlk and built a for tress on the promontory. Tart of these ruins are still extant. In 1309 It was taken by the Cantilena, only to be re captured by the Moors in 1333. It was held by them until vti. Following the taking and saokim! of Gibraltar In 1640 by BurbarosHo. extensive military works were built there by order of Charles V. Id 1704 the promontory was cap tured by a comblued force under Sir George Rooke and the Prince of Oesse- fcarmstadt, lighting fo the Archduke Charles of Austria. .The moment It fell Into their hands the British admiral threw off the alliance With fha 1 An.. trians and took complete possession of I me wonts. . British possession since that time has been unbroken, although it was tinder a Spaulsb siege for nearly three years and gbt months, beginning In 17m Twice the garrlsoo was on the point of falXng because of the starva tion of Its defenders.
