There la an old saying among horsemen: “No mouth. »»• horse." and It Is deeply respected in all training stables. A horse with a sore mouth can't eat. and a horse that can’t eat can’t work or race. *• Whoa the youngster bns become “bridle wise" a saddle Is strapped’ on (and he is led about for half an hour twloe a day until he liecomes fully so jeustomed to the innovation. In the meanwhile a small boy has been placed on his back every day for a month or more while the colt Is In the box stall I without bridle or saddle. If he takes 'kindly to this the colt Is led about with ' boy and saddle on his tmek. always in <-ompany of a staid old horse, who i h.es wonders In teaching the young ;-x r tiroper -manners.

Here the old. good-tempered lead | horse is again brought into use, and .he youngster sees how he should be- ( have under the new responsibilities | forced upon him. His tail has already ! ’’oen banged and his coat is made J fcniny and sleek each morning, giving 1 .tim something of the look of the real racing thoroughbred, and as by this ,iime lie is approaching his second THE RIVAL EQUINE CRACKS OF-'37. I * * /a •fotyirAL: 'birthday, the day Is drawing near! when he must sober down and join ; the ranks of the bread -winners. There are alteitt 5(10 horses at jtjs' this age pn t-he metropolitan ‘track) I just now. snd they are giving their ! . trainers a world of trouble. Most of ■ them nre entered in the big two-year I old stakes for the year, but by next . i fall some of them will be earning tjiei | feed in a more humble capacity than racing amid the plaudits of the multi tude; And many of them which now ' give the greatest promise will prev- ' the rankest failures, for the untrh J. ' two-year-old is about the biggest gn ' ble connected with horse racing, p ’ that is saying a good deal. 1 With the older horses the task of •’ I trainer is comparatively easy. He knows their dispositions and the co-. i ditions under which they can race 1 the best advantage. Fie knows i ’ what company they should be enter, 1 I Just wliat weight they can carry, th; ■distance t-hat suits them best, and th" 1 kind of track which will give the’ the most speed. He Is acquainted with their Individual good and bad traits, for the clever horse trainer of to-day does not handle his string of ( charges ns one horse. He has no set system for treating nil alike. Each horse Is studied Individually, and his training regulated accordingly. For Instance, the great horse Clif ford Is at his best when on the “big side.” that Is. when he ca'rrles an abundance of hard, muscular fat. H's old rival, now retired to the stud. Henry of Navarre, was juat the re i perse. He had to be trained down to the finest possible point to do himself ' Clifford always a ' good 250 pounds more than Navarre. The breeding of a horse determines this point very accurately. Clifford is i a grandson of Bonnie Scotland, and all tlie progeny ’of that famous sire were press horses. Navarre has Leam ington blood in him, and all of the horses of that type require hard work to bring them to their best. ' With a batch of untried two-year olds to handle the trainer first studies the pedigree of each and then maps out a course of work, changing it as tlx* horse develops. This plan often , fails, however, for full brothers and sisters of the greatest race horses often turn cut worthless. This was the case with most of Hanover’s kin. and the same can be said of the wonder Klng- , ston and of a host of others.

The dogs sel j (Viihji weigh less than thrive and one [ half pounds, but as they decrease in ; weight they increase In value. A | Yhree-pound spaniel is worth much ; much more than one weighing three and one-half jxvunds, and one weigh-, k Ing two and three-quarters or two and . •iic-half pounds very much more. Ja- ■ panose spaniels have been sold for as - much as SSOO. There are large Japanese spaniels. that are not imported and have no i spedal’value. ..The small dogs are. very rare, and their rarity doubtless j adds considerably to their value, but they are highly prined otherwise.

Y„ April 23.—Mollie I Fancher, the famous invalid, who has I been a medical wonder for the past : I three decades, and who has time after I time refused to make a fortune for | herself out ot her strange affliction.

The needs of Miss Fancher, It is usaid. Imvb becont-e so pressing that she is in dssiger of eviction from the little home to which she has lived the last thirty-one years of her strange life. Nothl*g has Itieen said to her about the benefit; in fact the Straitened ' condition of seer flnaaelal affairs has ( li been kept frail her as much as possi-j] ble. She has always been strongly) ? averse to anything smacking of char->! : Ity, or to money gettsiug by means of* ■ her malady. Twenty years ago, when she was I talked and written a'bout all over tins country and In Etirtroe. T. T. Barnum) saw what a tremendous money maker) she would be, and be sent one of hisj agents to her house with this message:! “You have the power to make.itwo great fortuiaes; o®» for yen and!one for me.” j The proposal of the circns man was| re nffenslw* to her that she lost com- j plete control of her for tho first and last time during her kffliction. and she ordered that Barnurn's agent be thrown out of her house. The accident that injured Miss Fan I cher occurred in June of 18(><’>. when 1 she was in her 17th year. She was stepping off a horse car and her gown caught in one of the hooks on the plat form. The car started suddenly, an' ! she was dragged over the stones a dis ; tance of 200 feet before she was dis covered. She seemed to recover from I her Injuries, but on Feb. 3. 1807,. site ! was seized with frightful spasms and i became paralyzed. While In this state I she fell Into the memorable trance, tr ■ which she lay like one dead for nin«* years. About a year before the street ear accident she fell off her horse while | riding In Prospect Park. and. although I she did not seem to suffer any gr<’i>; I Injury at the time, physicians wli ■ i have attended her say that tin 1 firs: accident unquestionably helped to bring about her curious malady. It was while in the nine years' trance that medical experts in all parts of the world became inter sted in the girl. It was the first ease f Its kind, and the uncanny p . r. which came to her defied all expl-'tia tlon. Scientists studied her. and let'' I bewildered. She displayed wonderful I tuediumistic powers, so strange, n |j deed, that the outside world refrs-I Ito believe them. During these nil. f! years she was blind at times, tin-' deaf and dumb, apd later she lost ti • isense of smell. The one sense of t ti< s never deserted her. and the powers • all the lost senses seemed to cince-- I trate into the one that was left. < t ((her nine years’ trance Miss Finch ' i h-eniembers nothing, but her piiysieia Jand attendants made careful tno'tiu rranda of everything she did. At one time when she had the sens*' 4of speech and touch two photographs !| were handed her by Dr. West, whose ; school she had attended. She was to tally bind at the time, but by nibbing I her knuckles over the pictures she ; Identified one as Dr. West's photo and ' the other as a portrait of Mrs. West. II While in this same condition she could read books by rubbing her lingers ov.*v 'the printed-pages, her sense of touch i being so acute that she could fallow the lines of the printed letters. Os her medlumistic qualities sha ! now never speaks, not even to her in timate friends, because of the doubt I cast upon them by outsiders. That 1 she possesses some strange, occult I power there are many evidences. I Friends who have died or met with accidents at a distance she knows all | about, almost at the Instant of their j occurrence. This has been proven i many times. Receipt of the news I through ordinary channels may not | come for days and weeks afterward, j but all of the details Invariably corro | spond with what she tells. ! For many years her house wax i haunted by numberless superstitious j persons, who were willing to par al | most any sum if she would read their I fortunes. These offers were al wavs ! spurned by Miss Fancher, her aver sfon to making money in this waj being most' intense. Once when sl e was totally blind a wealthy skeptic called at the house and said that he had a thousand-dollar bill in his pocket which he would give Miss Fancher it she would correctly read its number by employing her sense of touch She declined the offer, but Immediate]- after he had left, at her request, her [ physician placed a one-dollar bill . • ' her hand: and she deciphered its num ! ber in less than two minutes One of her strangest gifts v. iie.i her I only power was the sense of touch was I her ability to make wax flowers. .-.She 1 had never been taught the art; jjut’lmr I work was of exceptionally high order, i Tbs Royal— White and Pure us the Driven duovr. rOYM ’ LOl ... |»G wg. &AKIHO POWOER* Absolutely Pure | Hv.' - G POADFR CO., hfw YORK.
