In It hang practically all the Morgan harnesses ex cept, those used by the working farm teams, but the pride of the room Is a round dozen sets of four-ln-hand harness, the finest and handsomest that money can pay for. One man Is kept busy the year round burnish ing and otherwise caring for these har nesses, and he Is as proud of them as hie master possibly can be. First Amerlenn llarnraa lloom. Fine as Mr. Morgan's harness room Is, however, Dr. W. Seward Webb's Is the finer; experts declare it to bp thp finest In America and excelled by only a few In the whole world. It Is one of the chief attractions of Dr. Webb's great farm at Sherburne, VI., and is a really noble apartment In the famous barn. Two men constantly guard and minister to the round hundred sets of four-ln-hand harness kept there. A curious feature of the room is that Its contents Include no sets of har ress that have ever been in service, th sole purpose of the room and all It contains being display and not lisp. Dr. Webb is the most sppctacular of the millionaire horsemen, perhaps, but those who ought to know say that he handles the ribbons awkwardly. He was the first of the American millionaires to breed hack ney horses. He hoped to make money a plenty out of this business, and his example led his other-ln-law, II. McK. Twombly, and several others to Import the high step ping Kngllsh horses for breeding purposes. Dr. Webb has done better at the business than anybody else. He has given a great deal of attention to the crossing of hack neys with trotters and thoroughbreds, but the results, which It was hoped would bring out the best qualities of both strains to the cross, eliminating the weak points al together, were not satisfactory In any mark pet degree. Dr. Webb's farm Is ten times ns big as Morgan's and his horses are about ten times as numerous, but their average of ex- ellence Is not so high. The doctor nwn: the finest herd of mules In the world, there being nearly a hundred of them, not one of which Is under seventeen hands in height. There is a well-defined under standing among the doctor's friends that. while he does not propose the abandon ment of his Vermont farm, he dues Intend to live elsewhere In the winters hereafter, because of the deep snow and the low win ter temperatures. This rumor has it that this plan will be carried Into effect as soon as the doctor can build a suitable hous: for himself near Hyde Park, his brother-in-law's Hudson river country seat. John Jacob Astor, who went into th hackney horse Impeding along with Dr. Webb and Twombly, is said to be no judge of a horse himself, always having his ani mals chosen by some hired person. An acquaintance of Mr. Astor says he never has owned a gocd horse at all, but that is an exaggeration, doubtless. KliiK f Millionaire Horsemen. All things considered, the palm must lv awarded, as every one well understands, to William C. Whitney ns the reigning king of the millionaire horsemen, while his son, Harry Payne Whitney, richly deserves the title of crown prince. Mr. Whitney's Long IslMtid establishment contains ,100 acres. The barns and racing stables, covering five acres snd maintained jointly by himself and his son, are famous s models of their kind. The uteeplechaslnR and other private equine exhibitions of ono sort and another held there every fall are highly popular with those fortunate enough to be invited to them. Mr. Whitney's devotion to th- turf, wMch has recently manifested itself most strongly at Saratoga, Is due mainly to the keen delight he takes In racing as a recreation. Am a horseman pure snd simple Harry Payne Whitney undoubtedly Is the superior of his father, deserving as the elder man Is of reputation In that line. Nor Is this surprising, since at the age the. younger was devoting much of his time to the study of horses and horsemanship William C. was bending his energies chiefly along the lines of the law, politics and public affairs. Young Whitney rides superbly and hW string of "hunters" is famous. "Hurri cane," on which he has had himself photo graphed repeatedly. Is his favorite mount for a stiff "cross-country" canter. Teeth as an Investment "Elk teeth by the bushel are one of the chief assets which John Irfisi'kamp of Blll Ir.gs, Mont., enumerates among his Mg for tune," said R. M. HoHkins, a Hutte man, to a Denver Post reporter. "Losekamp keeps a general store at Bill ings and for many years It was his cus tom to trade supplies of one kind or another for elk teeth, which, by the way. were used for charms and amulets long before the Flks tork them up as the emblems of their order. "The action of the Colorado lodges In Agreeing to wear no more elk teeth be cause the demand for the teeth caused a vholesale slaughter of elk had a marked effect In reducing the price. Other lodges respected the motive, and quite a boycott cn elk teeth was on for a year or more. It sremj, however, they are In demand again. "Losekamp has been selling his at $2 apiece for ordinary teeth and getting fancy prices for the very best His stock Is suffi cient to supply the demand for years, but he makes no effort to sell them, as he wan's to leave them as a part of his estate, be lieving they will Increase In value fasti r than any other kind of property."" Britain's Coronation (Continued from Fourth Tage.) lavish In her generosity, and very Impulsive when her feelings are touched. To the cot tagers around her Norfolk home she hai been for long years a true fairy godmother, especially to the old people and little chil dren. Ever since Bhe came as a bride she has entertained the school children from ' Sandrlngham and the neighboring parlshcf of the king's estate at the hall on her birthday. On these occasions she and th princesses wait on the little guests, and play with them, and often the queen ma have been seen tying up cake In a child' handkerchief for It to carry home. She If a great advocate for technical education Ii the rural districts, and takes a personal in terest In each of the girls and boys attend ing the schools which she has establlshce at Sandrlngham, and which she visits al most daily when at home. Childhood of Monarch (Continued from Sixth Page.) Ing the future king of England, but he re plied: "I don't care for that. Trlnce or no prince, I will have my money." The farmer had a pitchfork In his hands and the boys naturally concluded that the safest thing was to pay, and pay they did I might give a score of stories about thr king's boyhood, but none of them are dif ferent from those told of the average boy all the world over. As far as I can see thf king was a very ordinary baby and by nc means an extraordinary boy. For all hD wonderful education he has done nothing to speak of In literature or statesmanshli and It remains to be seen whether he will be more than ordinary as a king. FRANK G. CARPENTER. Tit for Tat Chicago Journal: Man is so prone to en that he should reflect a little before draw lug attention (o the mistakes of others-. A professor who prided himself on his cor reel English heard his wife remark: "I inti tided to tell Jane to bring a fres1' bucket of water." "You doubtless mean a bucket of fresb water," corrected the professor. "I wisi. you would pay some little attention to you' rhetoric." A few moments later he said: "My dear, that picture would show tc better advantage if you were to hang It over tho clock." "Ah," she- replied, "you doubtless mean if I were to hang it above the clock. If 1 were to hang It over the clock, we could not tell the time. I wish you would be more careful with your rhetoric, my dear." And the learned professor became all at once very Interested In his book.

"Settle It between yourselves, Laura." said Mr. Ferguson, weakly. "I won't have anything to do with It. I'm only the mas ter of the house."

"Yes, Indeed. I er.Joy It so much." "Enjoy what?" "Why, watching my husband trying to straighten them out for me, of course. I get him to do It about once a week."
