Daisy Is twenty-three. Ever since

roaring from New York to Chicago In
less time than It takes Daisy to muke
her little circuit twice a day.
Ilut Daisy disdains the thought that
any motor cnr or alrplune could take
her place. She could utmost deliver
the mall alone.
She is credited by Ben Boughmnn,
her present owner, with having twice
saved his life, when he fulled to see
trains at grade crossings.
Throughout the years Daisy hns
pulled the same tiny and ancient mull
cart with which she started. She has
lost but 18 days at work, and that be
cause she hurt a leg In the line of
duty.
The carrier who trained Daisy Is
long since dead, but the horse passed
to succeeding carriers without a break
In her service record.
Faithfully she plods around her
route, and when she gets home she
refuses to go another step. When her
owner loiters on the homeward trip,
Daisy goes on home to supper und
lets her m aster leg It.
She hns one complex. Circus day

of the parade shouting "Hold your

Bight now Daisy Is on her annual
vueation. Each summer she spends
an outing In a fn/nlllar pasture. But
she'll be back at the old grind In the
fall.
“Pickling” in Paraffin

“Contrariwise," added the one

The bow Is deeply curved Instead

form, and the strings are left very
loose. It resembles the bows shown
In medieval pictures of perform ers on
the ancient Celtic chrottn or crewth,

It Is stated that the new bow makes
possible the rendition of early violin
scores which have hitherto been

they called for the simultaneous
