26 SOME THE fair horsewoman today is quite as fond of the sport as the man, and muoh more imperious. Her horse is a noble creature, worthy of the utmost consideration andnothlngr short of a calamity will keep her from a time spent In his company Guiding his feet over the noiseless roadbfll. her head up and eye alert, her whole body conforming: with the rhythmical movement of the animal beneath her there" is no moment at which a woman appears at so great advantage. If she be a true horsewoman, she is apt to have a good mount, and this combination of horse and woman was cer mutually becoming. A fine saddle horse, like his mistress, is kind. This is a first requisite. A vicious horse, even a sullen horse, never makes a good saddler, for he must' be always watched. Such a horse Instead of joining his mistress in enjojment of the outing and in pleasant contemplation of the ride, is keeping an ee and an ear open for rni6chief. He Is carrying a chip on his shoulder and woe be to the rjder who knocks it off at an unguarded moment. But it is not so with the well-bred horpe; enjoyment is one of his chief character istics, and he would no more think of LETTERS asking for general infor mation will be answered in these columns Letters should be writ ten on one side of the paper, and must be accompanied by the name and address of the writer, not for publication, how ever.

This trait is remarkably developed In the wonderful horse Chester, which is shown in the picture with its owner. Miss Dor"e mus. This noble animal shows intelli gence in etery lino of the body. An air of good breeding he wears as easily and as gracefully as his mistress does her habit. The posture of the head, the prick of the ears, the sensitive lines of tho mouth, the Intelligent gleam of the eye, all betoken understanding and enjoyment as plainly as if expressed by human agency. Chester Is a beautiful horse, and almost a thoroughbred. His record is an enviable one, he having been entered in over 100 contests and having takn over 100 prizes. The money value of the horse I Is enormous. It may be stated here for the uninitiated that saddle, horses are seldom thorough breds. They do not readily lend them selves to saddle habits, and are rarely used, Occasionally some thorough sports man, a man who understands horses per fectly, succeeds in making a satisfactory saddle horse of a thoroughbred. But the ideal saddle horse is a Kentucklan of mixed strain, and next to him comes the Virginia saddle horse. Tho intelligence of one's mounts Is 1 QUESTIONS HND HNSMERS I 11 say five miles.

I want to deed a man 100 acres of land lrf such a way that his wife will have no share of It, nor claim on it. If he wants to sell It then it to be his privilege to do eo. Can that be done, and In what way? LEX. No. Such a deed Is impossible. Perhaps the easiest plan w ould be for the buyer to Incorporate a real estate company and own all the shares except two these two shares to be held by the other directors whom he would select Then "Lex" could sell the land to the company. A corpor ation can buy or sell real estato through Its legal officers and make a good deed. Shares in the corporation are personal property, and these also may be sold with out the wife's knowledge or consent. Cost of incorporation in Oregon is light and the process is very simple. Consult any good lawyer who is familiar with Incorporation laws and practice. Election. Judgrcg. An election board, consisting of three judges and two clerks. Docs not each party have to be represented on the Board? Is it not unlawful for three judges of one political party to serve? F. P.

It Is not strange that women, who have more pa tience than men, are "the most successful at this work, and it Is not only in the circus tha,t the equestrienne and her horse go through pretty capers. In the pictures shewn is one of Mrs. Martinez with her horse kneeling; the graceful posture of the animal Is quite different frota the awkward attitude struck by the circus horse in doing the sa,mc piece of busi ness. Notice the unity of action between rider and horse and how Ms. Martinez braces herself In the saddle. The "horse with its foot up In the air is gong throush what tho horsemen term, "high-school tricks." It was In the act of "high-stepping" when ttte phfttograph caught it.

No. Not even a furrow Is necessary after you notify the she.epm.en wher the lines of your claim are. ' 2. Once is sufficient, and then the owner Is liable for trespass damages. Payment for Papers Xot Ordered. 1. Are the laws regarding payment for periodicals not ordered the same In the State of Washington as in Oregon? M. Underwood, Wash. 1. Practically, yes. The Washington law provides that whenvnuMlctttions are sent without being ordered, they are to be considered gifts. Color of War Vessels. What color is the U. S. steamship Ore gon? ' L. H. M.

To many people, to whom the Texas pony is a distinctive type, the horse with a brand on it is always art Inferior animal. In fact, they tell 30U cery time that a branded horse Is a Western pons'. Such people judge only by a superficial mark, and many persons will be surprised to know that many fine animals are branded. Such & one is Miss May Holllns' mount, with four white feet, shown in the photo. The brand on this horse Is plainly visible high up on the shoulder, near the neck. This Is a blooded animal, well bred. ana1 a very expensive one, too. Miss Hol llns, who is tho daughter of Mr. Frank C Holllns, the banker, and who may have the pick of many other fine saddle horses if he chooses. Is well satined with ed to the wife. If, at her demise, 6he, with out issues, dies intestate, to whom will the whole of the property belong as holr, whether mortgaged or free from debt, either personal or real if husband survives wife? Both homesteads were proved, up on after marriage. J. B. Under the Oregon law the 'property would belong to the husband, subject, of course, to mortgage. If any existed. Concerning Inheritance. 1. A husband and wife In the State of Washington have had children, but all their children died. Now, If the husband should die without a will who would be his heir, his wife or his parents and rela tives? 2. If a -man makes a will In the State of Washington with only one witness be sides the one who writes It will It be le gal? If he wills it all to one heir except one dollar each to all other legal heirs will it be legal? " A. J. 1. In a case like this, one-half of the real estate would go to wife and one-half to the father and mother, or one-half equally to the brothers and sisters. If the parents are dead. Personal property would all go to the wife after the debts were paid. 2. Yes. Yes. Three Clerics Itetinlred.

BRILLIANT EXAMPLES OF . . - A PERFECT SADDLE ANIMALS IN POSE AND ACTION 1 , j her branded mount and does not care to 1 change it for a less strenuously catalogued piece ot horseflesh. In the Northwest, whore nil animals are branded, fine sad dle horses are raised, and these mounts are much In demand among Eastern riders, branded though they be. Sometimes the love of horseflesh runs from father to son, or from mother to daughter, as the thing might be. and this Is the case in the Meyer family. The photograph of little Mls Meyer, taken i at Durlands, suggests Itself as a minia ture of that of her mother taken in tne famous riding academy. In more than one family the attendants at this insti tution have watched the development of tho horsew omen in two generations, and they will attest to their belief in heredity in horsewomanshjp. It It Interesting to note In these pictures of a mother and her daughter and their mounts that the In the case you mention It Is probable that there was a vacancy, and the third clerk was recently appointed for that reason.

"M. Yes. The court has authority to direct a verdict for the plaintiff or the defendant when, as a matter of law, the plaintiff or defendant Is entitled to such verdict.

It Is curious how Important a part color j)laya In the selection of a saddle horse. Perhaps it Is because of some old saying, perhaps because of some fancied unsult ableness. perhaps because of no reason but the gray saddle horse Is tabooed. Gray Is an unpopular color In horseflesh, and many Is the fine horse which, because of Its qualities, should have brought a fancy price, that has been forced down to a low figure on account of its plebeian color.

Did Prince Henry, not knowing the above clause, dra-w the sword from its present, and the chestnuts, both dark and light, are always popular. A good bay is always in demand, and a bay of that peculiar dark color known as blood bay is a great favorite. These colors may be somewhat confusing to the beginner, at first, but they are easily distinguishable to the practiced ee. The fashionable, gait for a saddle horse nowadays Is the trot. An expensive horse must have a fine trot, canter and walk. It matters lit tle whether or not he Is a pacer, and hard ly at all whether he can execute the "single-foot-" The day of the single footer has passed away, and these horses and pacers are used only by old men and the few others who desire a slow, easy gait. The canter and the trot the stren uous trot they are the thing! The proper saddle horse should be fine ly galted, very Intelligent, quick and. nervous, suited In weight to his rider, elastic and easy. His conformation must be perfect; the head small and fine formed, the arched neck cut out and set on the shoulders, the back short and without curve, the rump well rounded, and the tall carefully docked or cut short, the legs and thighs shapely but stout and strong for the saddle horse must be well braced for any shock. The breast must be broad and the ear that delicate index of the finely bred horse must be thin, pointed and sensitive. These features In the saddle horses are the evidences of good breeding. scabbard during his recent visit to Amer ica? C. O. B. Quartered On If.
