To those who have char re of blm, Mr. Ketcbam says, he shows a lovable dis position and aa Interest la them that la truly remarkable. As a rule stallions are rather more Intelligent thaa geld Ings or mares, and but for the fact that they are usually alsgsisa whea drives sloas would be the best road horses, as thsy are not easily frightened. In fact. the average stallion colt when drives on the road will - want - to Investigate a streetcar or automobile instead of ahy ing at it. ,., : . ., Major Dslmar waa kept a stallion un til! 4 years old and la his third rear was already a fast trotter for that age, tak ing a record of 1:1S with such ease that he looked like a I:l horse.

But for a while there waa not mucb Improvement, and when be waa racing as a and 4-rear-eld It took three, man to bitch blm up,, aad even then be waa trying to kick somebody most of the time while his manners la tha. stall ware bad.

But the owner said no. St. Julian had earned him a- lot of money -and he was not going to see him abused. ' So It was arranged that Orrln Hiokok, who drove the horse, sod Bill, who took ears of bin, should accompany the for mer champion to a ranch, where he wss to roam for the reat of his days.

Taking the trotting . champions from the days of Dexter to the present time, there Is not one that could not easily have been made vicious by Improper treatment, aad some ef tbesi were dan- re rous In splto of all precautions.
