Mr Hen lllsnchurd was a small, chubby man, baby-stare ryes and an Infantile smile. Ho called himself s community promoter. This, as must be admitted, was u more taking title than that of land boomer, especially when much of the laud ao boomed was productive of little else than sand- burs, sage brush, cacti, jack-rabbits, and a fair sprinkling of rattlesnakes. That Is by the way, however. If you make Inquiries among hia eastern friends especially In Montague street, Brooklya you will gather some pic- tuesqun estimates of M Blanchard's business abilities Financial persons of Brooklyn pride themselves on being possessed of a certain Yankee shrewd ness which steers them clear of the wiles of the average schemer. Apart from that, no man la consid ered reliable until he has been proper ly Introduce)) by an old Brooklynite. This once done, he Is established tn their confidence. Now. Ben Blanchard managed to make his entry Into Montague street uuder the auspices of a certain Brooklynite of ancient and honorable lineage Through the Introduction thus afforded him. the community promoter mad« a number of acquaintances of a highly beneficial sort. Among the communities which Blanchard had brought Into being were a couple In western Kansas At various points farther wes^ he was In touch with other promoters to whom he Introduced "good things" from the East, receiving In return a percentage of the ensuing plunder. Once a year he was accustomed to Issue Invitations for a western trip to the rich and "easy" people whom he met In the East. The junket was done In One style. A special car with attendants was provided, the food was excellent, at Topeka and th- stopping places beyond, the local boards of trad« did honor to the distinguished visitors, and so did the local news papers to the extent of many columns During the very last trip en gineered by Blanchard I acted as "bls tortan"—to use the Blanchardlan term. In reality, 1 was bls press agent Thus It was that he happened to have a certain experience with railroad su perstition. The party, after visiting Denver and Manitou, was on Its way east. At Pu eblo, one afternoon, there was a change of engines, and. as It subse quently turned out, the engineer had orders to "let her lick" across the pralris so as to show the eastern gen try that there was nothing slow about that particular section. An old-time *dobe house, not far from the depot had excited the Inter est of some of the party, and while awaiting their return the writer walked up the platform, carrying a kodak of goodly proportions. Jim Dell, the en gineer—tall, lank, and sunburnt to the hue of an Indian—was just getting Into the cab. Ills fireman followed, wiping his Angers on a clout of greasy waste. The camera was made ready for action. Dell wheeled sharply as the bellow s- catch of the camera clicked Then he frowned at the Instrument and its owner. "You're sure thlnkln* of gettln' a pic ture of this here machine?" I said that was my plan. "And of me and my pardner?" I nodded. "Well. I'm saying this. I am. The machine can't get away from you. 1 s'pose. But I'll be durned If you get my face or Bill's inside the contrap tion. Why? For reasons—good rea sons!

The fact re mains, however, that less than fifty miles from the starting point the en gine and the car came to a jagged halt As ttie camera registered a record of the wreck, Jim and his helper cursed eastern dudes whose hoodoos worked mischief with western loco motives. It was three hours before Pueblo furnished another engine that, even to the lay eye, looked grouchy and su perannuated. "It's that confounded old highbind er, No. 6."

One hundred years ago the cele brated American privateer "General Armstrong," In command of Capt. Samuel C.

The Brit ish made three attacks on the "General Armstrong" in small boats, and each time were beaten off with heavy loss. Finally the British vessels closed In and began a heavy Are. Finding fur ther resistance against such over whelming odds futile. Captain Reid set a fuse to his magazine and with his crew safely got ashore. This bat tle was the last naval engagement of the war of 1812. In the action the British lost 350 in killed and wounded, while the American loss was but two killed and seven wounded.

The conversation in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other night turned to charitable work, when Con gressman William P. Borland of Mis souri was reminded of an incident along that line. Some time ago Sambo Smith was watching the development of a water melon vine in his garden on the out skirts of a southern city, when the esteemed Washington Snow rambled down the road and became a part of the immediate scenery. "Mlstah Smith," began the esteemed Snow, trailing his way across the gar den, “I hab come to see yo’ on some 'ponhtaut bizness.” “Yes, sah,”. agreeably answered Sambo. "What kin I do fo’ yo'.

Sloping shoulders and sloping pas terns, associated with straight, well- set, strongly muscled legs and dense, tough feet are extremely essential to longevity or hard service. The back should be comparatively straight, strong, short, closely coupled, well muscled and support a deep chest of medium width, good deep -riba and flank. The rump should carry width to the tall, which should set fairly high. The hind legs of the horss should be set well under the body. Strong hocks, well-set and sloping pas terns are of great value.
