"In article 227 of the peace terms
the filled and associated powers pub

HORSES IN ANCIENT BATTLE
Mm to Have Bean Llttls Used Exc.pt
to Carry the Infantry Into
the Fight
In the old days when the Roman
and Greeks fought furious hut ties, the
charioteer drove their inr In all
directum, burled' their Javelin, and
by the din and clatter of horses
and wheels commonly threw the
ranks of the enemy Into disorder,
and. milking their way among the
squadrons of the enemy' cavalry. J
leaped down from their chariot and
f'liurlit on foot. The charioteers then
withdrew, little hv little, from the fight,
imd placed their chariots In such a way
that If they were hard pressed
they could readily retreat to th-lroun
side, Thus In buttle they afforded the
mobility of, .avail)' with the sleiide
tics of Infantry. Oiilly practice en
abled them to pull up (heir horse at
full speed when on a steep slope, or
to run out on the polo and stand on
the yoke, and to get nimbly back Into
the chariot.
With (he Introduction of cavalry
In the later Iron age came larger
horses, but .their nse for this pur
pose seems to have been restricted
fn Isolated arena. There Is no douht
that the west German tribes, as
late as the campaign of Cuesar In
Gaul, used only the shaggy pony. It
Is said In cavalry actions they held It
disgraceful and slothful to use any
kind of saddle, and Instead of charg
ing In squadrons they dismounted and
fought on foot. As far a England la
concerned, the art of riding aeema to
have been Introduced by the Norman.
The Saxons apwar to have been but
Indifferent horsemen.

It la often a subject for discussion
at to which la the wisest animal.
Home say It la the dog and some ara
In fuvor'of the horaa, while scientists
appear to think It Is the elephant
W beg to differ with all then
views. W do not eve agree to the
movement In certain quarter to give
tha palm for wisdom to the fox. To
our mind the wisest animal that lives
Is the rat. And, If It goes to that, we
ara willing to have It further known
that of ajl animal we like the cat
the best.
A cat Is o wise that It succeeds In
not letting us know bow wise It really
Is. If you will be friendly with cnts
and Unit's an easy thing to doyon
will be astounded at their wisdom. And'
you could not Imagine how affectionate
a rat ran also be.
There I an old yellow cat up In the
Verdugn hills that we wouldn't trade

phants outside of Barn urn's circus.

For Success in Business.
Wealth Is, after all, only what Is
produced by us, either by mental or
physical Jnlor. It stands to reason,
therefore, that If a man would become
rich In this world's goods, or in knowl
edge of things or men, he must work
hard and long to acquire such knowl
edge and skill. And he will be reward
ed In proportion to his work. Despite
a lucky atroke occasionally here and
there In a man's life, I am a Arm be
liever In the motto that nothing really
comes by chance to a man which ta of
much value beyond the ordinary.
Succesa has usually been prepared
for, striven for, helped onward by hla
own Innate ability, work, or tact In
ways the exterior world often failed
to recognise. Hard work Is the best
friend any man ever embraced.
I would say to all youthful beginners
In business that business Is like the
land the more you put Into It the
more you will v get out If you put
nothing In, you will get precious little
out; If you tend It In desultory fash
Ion, you caj rmly expect an Indifferent
harvest, If any at all. Exchange,
Where la TeachenT
This Is tho latest breakfast-table
problem. Although the town has fig
ured prominently In European history
at various times for over a century,
Lloyd George had to confess, when It
waa mentioned at the peace confer
ence, that he did not know exactly
where It was situated.
Nor was he alone In bis lack of
knowledge. It Is doubtful If one per
son In fifty would be able to give you
any Information about the town.
And yet It was once the scene of a
great peace conference that of 1779,
when Vergennes, the foreign minister
of France, arranged the pence of
Teschen, thereby avoiding a great Eu
ropean war, and also. In all probabil
ity, securing the Independence of the
United States. .1
Right Pivot
A darky was unloading horses and
when he had the halter hanks of six
horses he started up the road toward
ramp and the stables. Just before en
tering cnnip tjie road turned sharply
to the right; fact, It made a right
angle with Its previous course.
At this point the ditrky with his six
halter hnnks experienced some dltll
culty In getting ull the horses to make
the turn and he was heard to shout;
"Here, what's the matter with you
all? Don't you all know how to make
a turn to da right? Number one pivot 1

NECESSARY TO KEEP BOOKS!
Without Accurate Accounts Ne Form
of. Business Can Be Successfully
Carii.d On,
Accountancy, which la the science
of systematizing business, haa a his
tory that run bark at least 4.0
year. Very early In the development
of nation It was found that In com
merce a well a In the affair of tate,
ysiematic and careful account-keeping
were Indlspenxahle. These sys
tem, were, at first, crude and labori
ous, but they at least kept the finance
of the nation and the mart of trade
from being chaotic.
The Invention of double entry book
keeping early In the fifteenth century
by the merchants and bankers of Ven
ice gave to the commerce of Europe an
Invaluable trade Instrument, and one
without which the great commercial
enterprise of the Inter centuries could
hardly have existed.
And o It hn been on down to the
present time; there ha been a parallel
progress between the accomplishments
of commerce and the science of ac
counting, and It Is known to every man
In business that the former could not
continue without the latter. Even the
most unbusinesslike people know thl
much, and we can hardly Imagine any
one allly enough to atteujpt to carry
on any kind of a business enterprise
without keeping books.
Bookkeeping, a a formal subject of
atudy, Is taught In most of the public
and private school of thl country,
but It I only that form of bookkeeping
that applies to the afair of tbe mer
chant or tbe shopkeeper. The public
hat yet to learn that bookkeeping 1
qelte aa necessary to the prosperity of
the wageworker, the salaried man, the
fanner and the housekeeper as It la to
the shopkeeper, the merchant or the
manufacturer. Exchange.
FLOWERS' HOURS OF SLEEP
That They Differ Is a Proof of tfc:
Adaptability of Everything
In Nature.
That flower sleep H evident to tbe
most casual observer. Tbe beautiful
daisy open at sunrise and close at
sunset whence Its name "day's eye."
Tbe morning glory opens Its flower
with the day. The "four o'clock"
awake at four o'clock In the morning,
but closes It eyes In the middle of tbe
day, and the dandelion la In full bloom
only while there Is strong light The
habit of some flower la certainly curi
ous, and furnishes one of the many
Instance which prove the singular
adaptability of everything In nature.
The reason Is found In the method by
which this class of flowers Is fertilized.
Flower which are fertilized by
ntflit flying Insects derive no advan
tage from being open by day; and, on
the, other hand, those which are fer
tilized by bees wiruld gain nothing by
being open at night. Nay, It would be
a disadvantage, because It would ren
der them liable to be robbed of their
honey and pollen by Insects which are
incapable of fertilizing them. It is
possible, then, thut the closing of flow
ers may huve reference to the habit of
Insects, and It may be observed, also.
In support of this, that wind-fertilized
flowers never sleep.
. Blind Horse.
The manner In which blind horses i
get about without coming to more ;
harm than they do is remarkable. !
They rarely. If ever, hit their heads j
against a fence or stone wall, and !
will sheer off when they come near j
uue. ii appears irom careiui ooser
vatlon that It Is neither shade nor
shelter which warns them of the dan
ger. On an absolutely sunless and
windless day their behavior la the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for they
will poke their heads downward In
search of water fifty yards before they
come to a stream crossing the road
way. It cannot be an abnormally devel
oped sense, of hearing which leads
them to do this, for they will act alike
though the water be a stagnant pool.
Men who have been blind for any
great length of time develop some
what similar Instincts to blind horses, j
"Catch the Dog I"
"Mrs. Howe was always thoughtful
of animals. During the reign at 241
Beacon street of the little fox terrier
Patch, It often fell to her lot to take
him out to walk, and she felt this to
be a grave responsibility.
"One day Patch ran away on Bea
con street, and would not 1?ome when
she called hlra. At this Instant Doctor
Holmes, passing, paused for a friendly
greeting.
"'Mrs. Howe,' he said, 1 trust this
fine morning '
"'Catch the dog!' cried Mrs. Howe.
One author flew one way, one the oth
er; between them Patch was caught
and brought In triumph home." From
Hie Life of Julia Ward Howe, by her
daughters.
Women and Mice.
It Is contended that woman' fear
of mtc nrlses from their being classed
as vermin. The fact that rats carry
disease and plngue Is not disputed.
Mice may not be quite so dangerous.
Their .bites and scratches are trifling.
But they carry disease and dirt, and
a baby sleeping In a cradle, for In
stance, may suffer In consequence.
Mothers have for ages been affected by
this dread, and In seeking to protect
their offspring from contact with mice
have unconsciously, we are told, bred
that feeling of nervousness which has
provided the comic artist with bis
