THE WILDEST HORSES IN NORTH AMERICA ARE THE "RROOKAILS" Range the Four Corners of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. .V ERHAPS the wildest horses In North Amsrlca are the Mhroomtslls.M as the nondescript little pon ies ranging the four corners or Colorado. New Mexico, Arisona Utah are called. ThU section la known aa the Yellow Jacket Break*, and con alats for the most part of a high, roll ing mesa, Intersected bj a network of deep box canon*. Like Mancoa Can on, famona for Its cliff dweller palace and dlatant only seventy or eighty miles, the region once waa denaely peo pled by the prehlatorlc cliff dweller race, sajs the Waahlngton Post. Into anch a rough country one would think no horaeman would venture; yet the whirr of the lariat la sometimes heard In all but the deepest gorges. The broomtatl pony is there, and, nowadays, a horse Is a horse, though the btoomtall is perhaps the meanest specimen of the genus broncho. The wit of the broncho is cnoagb to dazzle a tendet-f oot, but the broomtairs peculiar tactics make him the wonder of the range. It is related that one of tlTe old mares once had ridden her sickly colt near the upper Yellow Jackct Spring while she grazed under the rimrock. A horse hunter suddenly dashed Into the glade, and as Madame Broomtall neither could Oesert her baby nor carry it away with her, she quickly conceived a bit of strat?gy. ?t the first alarm she uttered a shrill snort, which plainly meant, "Keep still, little one." Then she trotted about, tamely sniffing at the in truder until he made a dash at her; whereupon, instead of bounding away with head erect, an easy mark for the lasso, she stopped short with her head between her knees, and kicked earnest ly and hard, as only a broomtall can. No expedient could makt her lift her head t<> a roping position, and she stud iously avoided the spot where her colt was concealed. After a while the cowboy attempted to rope her by the ieet. but she made a cunning pass with her lieels and lamed his mount She seemed to re alize at once that even a sick broomtall might (.ofy a lame pursuer and neighed triumphantly to her baby. Together they disappeared in the timber, and the discomfited horse hunter walked to the nearest camp. A party of reiic hunters recently went on an exploring torr of the Yel low Jacket oliff dwellings, and inci dentally had some ~port with a band of broomt.;ils ranging near the west canon. The discernment of the wild i>ony enables hiui to distinguish be tween horse hunters and the harmless excursionist at a glance, but he cannot tell when the latter will play a trick on him. IJe lias u.astered a few arti fices himself, however, and in this case he came out away ahead of sec ond best. From the '.xpcdltlon camp, perched on the vantage point of a desolate headland, the little hordes were often visible /is they browsed in a nearby draw. One nfterrioou three young men, moved by that cuallt.v which im pels a chase, organized a raid on the wild ponies. The horses they could muster had seen more service on a farm than in the breaks, and the men could neither ride nor rhrow n rope, but. of course, there would be sport in seeing the wild ponies rnn. The amateur horse wranglers made a spirited sweep to windward. That must have pleased the ponies, since, when they have scented the foe at a safe distance, the race Is alawsy theirs. But a broomtairs devious nature will not permit him to run straight away and thus relieve his pursuer of the trouble of a bootless race. The bronchos skillfully maneurred to keep the enemy in view, while tlic.v kept out of sight In the brush. They would run <lown a draw nnd cross over to the next one. which they ascended to n point from which the enemy was in sight They kept up the frame of hide nnd seek until they had satisfied their cu riosity as to the intruders., nnd then boldly dashed across a ridge in plain view of the men. The horsemen gave chase at once. The course was over the broken country that divides the west canon from the main Yellow Jacket, and the ponies had the best of it from the staTt After four or five miles of hard running the men found themselves in a place they hardly knew how to get out of. nnd the ponies had disappeared as if by magic. When the men reached camp, worn out and sore from the scratches they had .received In riding through the brush, they glanced over toward the draw, and there were the Identlcnl wild ponies that had disappeared so mysteriously, quietly feeding within a mile of camp! Nearly every great horse range In the Western States has lind Its asso ciated tales of wonderful racers that j eluded all pursuers, and the Yellow [ Jacket country is no exception to the rule. One of the most successful of the hunters tells of a blue-black horse that he had attempted repeatedly to capture, but which ho believes can run a mile in 2.05 over a course that is far from being an Ideal race track. Ills Judgment may be wide of the mark, but the significant fact that many nimble mares have strayed from the Johnson ranch, where famous Jim l>ougtas and King Faro once held court, lands color to the tales of fleet racers ftep in the fastness of the breaks. The gorges may yet give a record breaker to the turf. Several enterprising young fellows are engaged actively In the brootutnll industry, and each owns c;ulte respec table herds of the little horses, but they do not often attempt the capture of grown ponies. Many of the mares are "lost" animals, bearing brands, and although uo one claims them. It is sal tr to brand the colts and leave the mares on the range as a tource of more Aesirablo lLcreaae. ? The method of the horse hunters to to ride ilaglj or la two* during the branding Meson. Soch colts ss sre captured are brandtd with a Mswlp? on the shouldec" sad released. Later the hunters band aad drlri the colt* to a more accessible range, where they are close herded until weened from the breeks. divided among their captors, and become domesticated?or aa near ly ko as a broncho will erer be. It to commonly nadsrstood that the broomtalls are descended from Ameri can horses that escaped from the set* tlements; but the large number of pin* tos (spotted ponies) found In the herds would seem to Indicate a strong In fus ion of Spanish (mustang) blood. In deed, the Navsjo Indians assert that wild horses hare ranged the regions of the breaks since the days of the "Man wbo-bullt-the-blgh-houses" (cliff dwell ers). And they ought to mow how long their supply of horse steak has beet\ available?but, of course, they don't. Perhaps the ponies are the degener ate offspring of horses thnt escaped from early explorers, mixed at a later date with American strays. At the present time It is thought that the stock Is improving, as a result of the constant infusion of new blood. Their average weight 1s 700 pounds, but they vary from the moat diminutive scrubs to good-sized ssddle horses, and a few of them parried the soldiers of Britain in their struggle with the Boers. CHARITIES IN JAPAN. Institutional (Jar* or AM*-bodied Artvlta ud Dependent Children. The greatest development of Japan In charity has been In the institutional care of able-bodied adult* and of de pendent children. Progress In the care of the former dates back to 1898. when a commission was appointed to consid er the problem in all Its bearings. This commission recommended first, the erection, through funds furnished by the State, of workshops iu which the indigent poor of Tokio could bo put at work and their e.irniugs applied to their support; second, to supplement these workshops, or until they could be erected, by the establishment' of agencies for furnishing drivers of ve hicles, mowers of lawns,etc.. when with simple occupations, the employe to re main under the control of the agen cies and his earnings applied to his support; and third, the support under sanitary conditions of tli?> aged, the cripples, and those incapable of any form of labor, and the rearing of their children at public expense and under public oversight As a result of this plan. It is not unusual to find that workshop Inmates, such as the blind, the paralytica, lbe*luflriii, the high and middle grade Idiots, and persons who have lost one or more limbs become well trained in some particular task and acquire a degree of skill that en ables them to earn ntoiv than Is neces sary for thi'lr support. In the children's institutions boys over seren are placed largely in the linnds of the older, more experienced, and more serious companions. Young girls go to school carrying on their backs infants thnt have been Intrusted to them so as to lighten the tasks of the regular attendants. The attendants are four-fold, those watching over the child's clothing, the food, the cleanli ness of person, and the physical train ing. In the training of institutional children a kindly demeanor is required on the part of the attendants, and in every way there is encouragement of the effort to provide a mother's tender ness and sympathy. Foundlings are boarded out for three years with nurses, who are paid $2 or |S a month. ?Charities. Bncnino Fortnnl In 1084. The Thanksgiving festival became a formal and an annual ^ne la Massa chusetts as long ago as 10S4, and the example of that colony was so?n fol lowed by all the New Kngland colon log. The Puritans 11 thai time regard ed Christmas as a relic of popery, and so they passed laws punishing Its ob servance and accepted Thanksgiving day as the great feast day of the year. In pioneer Thanksgiving times, In Rhode Island and Connecticut, the tur key occupied less prominence on the feast table than did boar meat and venison. When the Governor and Her Majesty's commissioners sat down t3 the festal board In lTl.'l It was an nounced that one of the deer that fig tired In the feast had been shot on ye lord's Day. The pious commissioners refused to eat until the sacrellglous red man that shot the 'leer had re ceived thirty-nine stripes, which, in the language of the day. waa pro nounced "a Just and righteous cc:i tence on ye sinful heathen." Decem ber 18, 1777, Washington proclaimed as a day of Thanksgiving, and again at Valley Forge, on May 7. 1778. Fol lowing Washington's cxnmple, several Presidents Issued general proclama tions 011 special occasions, but It was usually left to the Governor? of the States and Territories to determine whether there should be a day and what that day should be.

A Mt tarns around before It lie* down Mcauw Its Jungle ancestors bad to crush the grats to make a bed. and the Instinct still persists. Or haps nun< hind takes to the woods In summer for the same reason. The groves were man's original abode ns well as God's first temples. But while the longing to get back to nature at this season is nearly universal, the Instinct for en Joying the wilderness Is much less widely distributed. White some persons are ezuberant ly happy at getting away Trom civil ization. others who fancy that they want to leavo the town behind are made perfectly miserable by the lack of their accustomed conveniences. The splash of the water on the boat's sides or hum of the reel to such persona Is no compensation for the lack of Ice. of comfortable beds and of rocking chairs. At Ihe flrst sign of a mosquito they are overcome with annoyance, and sunburn to tliem is an evil quite without recompense. Your true sons of the woods, city bred though he may be. counts all tli<? suffering that belongs to life out of doors as not grievous, bnt joyous. Tho discomforts are not to Ik> compared, in his opinion, to the delights of camp ing and Ashing and hunting (lis en thusiasm Is. Indeed. Inexplicable to the man who. has uot fullcu under the Isarae spell. There Is no t.hing the lover of the woods from the town devotee li.v his appearance. The bookish-looking fel low may' be a mighty fisherman, while the athlete mnj l??. miserable out of reach of a car line. Perhaps the dif ference in temperament may be traccd back to childhood. A person may lie made almost anything If lie Is caught young enough. The physchologist* have a theory that all kinds of Instinct manifest themselves for a time In the growing' child and then disappear un less special attention is given to their development. This may account In part for the di versity of reeling toward nature that exists so unaccountably among men and womeu of otherwise congenial tastes. IJqIcss a person fished with a bent pin as a child lie l?n't likely 1o become enthusiastic over the sport as a man. The woods may lure, but they aren't likely t? captivate unless the de votee early learned their ways.

"I say can you lot me have $10 till pny day?" "No," said the General: "I'll let you have $5; that's what you asked mo for at first."?Philadelphia Ledger. I<rarn!tir to Swim. "There are a few rules which, in learning to swim, a woman especially ought to observe," says Clara Dal tori in Outing. "First, she should never go in tho water for swimming when she is f.i tigucd. Since the late afternoon hours are the popular time for bathing at the seaside resorts, a woman is likely ;<? be fatigued by the golf or bicycle rid ing or walking that have made up her day. and she is then not In tit condi tion for tlie exertion of swimming. "Second, she should never go 1? swimming within two hours after eat ing a heavy meal. This is a rule nev or to be broken. Failure to observe this almost wholly take* away from swlmmin;; the benefits that the er.er else would otherwise give. "Third, she must not stay in the wa ter a minute after she fc.'b fatigue oi chill." Ilorio Sonar. r irons horses nre not tlio only mom l?ors of the equine family wliioli do smart things.

Witt all the wisdom of a human being thf horse moved his head and wide steppoO out of the car's way as the motor whizzed by without loss of time. "That Is the wisest thing I ever saw a horse do." said a man as he watched the horse's action.
