FORT, Real Estate and Fire Insurance OFFICE OVER NATIONAL BANK UnJIVSBULMHUS wbdbv Military Officers Recommand tha Ea- tabliahmant of a Remount Station Naar Newport, Ky.—All the Horses Will Be Trained For Servioe. Officers at Fort Thomas have recom mended the site of the old government rifle range, on the Licking river, back of Newport, Ky., as a deelrable loca tion for one of the six remount sta tions that will shortly be established by the war department to furnish horses for the United States army, says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib une. It is the intention of the war depart ment to raise all horses that are to bo used In the future by the cavalry, ar tillery and infantry divisions of the army as well as mules for the quarter master and commissary departments. At the present time great difficulty is encountered to supply enough good horses for the army. Agents of the war department scour the country regions and buy up all desirable horses. During the recent Japanese war ta!': it was pointed out by army officers that the United States could not prop erly mount the different branches of the service, as there are barely enough desirable horses on the market to sup ply the present standing army of 00.- 1)00. It would be a difficult problem to secure horses for additional troops. At the present time the army buys 17,Odd horses every year. The a vertigo cavalry or artillery horse lasts five years, while those in the infantry branch, whi< h are used by the officers, last about seven years. Every horse used by the army has to be replaced every five years. It is 1 in- intention of the war de partment to divide the country Into geographical sections. Remount sta tions. where horses will be raised and trained for the service, will be cstah- lishcd at tile NewporJ rifle range, which is considered the best point in Kentucky to raise horses; Springfield, o.; Fort Riley, Kan.; the Montana cat tle ranges, in the Fallfornlu foothills and Fort Reno, Okla. The recent establishment of a re mount stati m in Lexington, Ky., by the Dorman government has opened the eyes of army officers to the advan tages of the remount system. It has long been recognized that American horses are the best in the world for army purposes, and It is the hitentiou of the Derman government to intro duce them for use in the kaiser’s army, (iennnn horses will be Import ed Into America and sent to Lexington, where they will bo crossed with Amer ican horses. It is hoped that better horses will be available for use of the German troops. In the geographical divisions of the remount station men will tour tin* ad jacent farming region to buy up the best horses. A horse census will be taken by the government, wh' h wb show how many and what hind <•.' horses can be used by the army in <•::•' • of war. All horses brought to the v.uioa.. remount station* will be trniued service. They will U* put through evolutions that will m,me 1 hem usetm as soon as lh , a■ received at : 1 army post. At the present time • green” horses are .-•■nt to the different posts for <le\ olopincnl. The syste, of remount stations will pul an cud to - hi> practice, which has been lie* > :r ■ >;■ considerable annoy Hive, as n.. n.v of the horses have been found woithleos after efforts to train them. Kver> horse that leaves a re mount sb tion will b.* thoroughly test ed. Farmer, will be encouraged to rai«e horses for *'ie army, as the govern ment v. id purchase horses at all times wl noc.t n...king tin* farmers wait, as i the present custom, until the army needs tin in. The Newport title range is recoin mended be'-m-e Cincinnati is a good horse and mule market, and it is the idea of the government to have agents watch the market for desirable steeds Pmn to Photograph a WhoU City. A piudogr tph! • view of Kansas City is to be lakeu in September from a balloon or an aeroplane. The photo graph will be taken from a point l..'0o feet above Harlem and will include ’the city from Sheffield to Swope park on the soutli and the stockyards and Armotirdale <>n the west, says the Kan sas cjty star. When finished the pho tograph will be about four feet long by a foot and u half wide. A repre sentative of a Chicago firm of pbolog tapbers consulted with V. Connor, weather forecaster, the other morniiq, concerning weather conditions in the early fall, particularly the prevailing winds. The balloon will tie used In the Lord Eldon’s Apology. (Tlt-Blu.) When John Scott (Lord Bldon) wm at the bar he was remarkable for the sang froid with which be treated the judges. On one occasion a junior counsel, on hearing their lorahlps give Judgment against his client, ex claimed that he “was surprised at such a decision.” This wa« con strued Into contempt of court, and he was ordered to attend court the next morning. Fearful of the conse quences, he consulted his friend John Scott, who told him to be perfectly at ease, for he would avert any un pleasant result. Accordingly, when the name of the delinquent was called, John rose and cool ly addressed the assembled tribunal; “I am very sorry, my lords, that my young friend hag so far forgotten him self as to treat your honorable bench with disrespect He Is extremely penitent, and you will kindly ascribe bis unintentional insult to ignorance. You must »©e at once that It did ori ginate In that. He said he was sur prised at the decision of your lord- ships. Now, If he had not been very ignorant of what takes place at this court every day—had he known you but half as long ag I have—he would not be surplsed at anything you did." He Saw the Game. (Smith’s Magazine. The office boy had*buried countless grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousin*, but he felt an enthu siasm for the baseball game that day that would not be downed. Suddenly an idea struck him. Ap proaching the easy boss with an air of familiarity, which had been nur tured by long usage, he asked: “May 1 leave at noon today, sir?” “And why, my boy?” “There is a fancy fair at our church and mother wants me to go this afternoon. She was so anxious that she bought me a ticket, which cost a dollar, as she was sure you would allow me the few hours off. I have to assist at the refreshment stall and it seems a pity to waste”— “But, surely you are above such things as that, which take you away from your work. Wiry not give the ticket to one of your sisters?” “WVdl, you see. sir. that wouldn’t be fair, for I’m the only one of our family who can be depended upon to eat a dollars’ worth, and”— His supreme nerve won the day. Air ”Bonnl« Blue Flag*” Oh! yes. It’s shameful, i'll declare, to make the men all go And leave so many eweethe&rts here, without a single beau. We love to see them brave, it’s true, and would not urge them stay; But what are we poor girls to do when they are all away? Chorus: Hurrah! hurrah! for the Sunny South so dear I Three cheers for the homespun dress the Southern ladles wear. My homespun dress is plain, Iknow; my hat’s palmetto ‘too; But then it shows what Southern girls for Southern right will do. We envy not the Northern girl, her robes of beauty wear. Though diamonds grace her snowy neck, and pearls bedeck her hair. Now Northern goods are out of date, and since old Abe’s blockade, We Southern girls can be content with goods tbat’re Southern made. The Southland is a glorious land, and hers a glorious cause. Then here’s three cheers for Southern righta, and for the Southern boys. We send the bravest of our land to battle with the foe, And we would lend a helping hand; we love the South, you know. Wle send our sweethearts to the war, but dear girls, never mind; Your soldier lover will not forget the girl he left behind. A soldier Is the lad for me, a brave heart I adore; And when the Sunny South is free, and fighting is no more, I I’ll choose me then a lover brave from out that gallant band; I The soldier lad L lovo the best shall have my heart and hand, And now. young men. a word to you: If you would win the fair, Go to the field where honor calls and win your lady there. Remember that our brightest smiles are for the true and brave. And that our tears fall for the one that fills a soldier grave. FOR BALE. FOR BALE—Building lots for •&!•. Mrs A. V. Montgomery.

The late Isidor Wormser. the mil lionaire blanker of New York, laid the foundation of his business suc cess as a clothier in San Francisco. An aged San Franciscan said of him recently: “Mr. Wormse r was a shrew man. If you laid a proposition before him, he saw at a glance whether It was good or bad, true or false, and In an epigrammatic and illuminating way he passed Judgment on it. “For instance: 1 once heard a niau explaining palmistry to Mr. Wormser. The man was an ardent palmist. He insisted that, the lines in (he hand were as trustworthy as the lines In the Bible. He said that the wise everywhere believed in the palmist’s science. “ Now here,’ he went, on, opening his hand, ‘here is the life line. This line indicates Infallibly how long you will llva* “ ’Yes,’ said Mr. Wormser. ‘Isn’t It funny, (though, that the life Insur ance companies pay no attention to itr ” The Thoughtful Landlord.
