Copyright 1313, by Star Company. At the horse shooing Infirmary, esta ; Wished by the Horse Aid society, a whole handful of cruel .corns were ex tracted from one foot of a poor man's suffering animal one day last week. And this was done free of charge. Have you ever known the anguish of walking on a foot, afflicted with one of those pain ful chronic callous ' spots? Of 'having yoiir dhon press down ''upon It with cve,ry ,step? T Ivo iu Imagine what hundreds of wretched horses cn- t.tlura as they are forctjd. by the whip to step on cnor "inous .callouses, with an Iron shoe press ing against them at every movement. The president of the Horso Aid Boclety, Mrs. Jacob Khrllck, a frail little woman', welshlpg less tnan 100 Pound", conceived , the Idea of establishing this horse shoe ing Infirmary on West Eighteenth street. The horse Is pasting-, and In a score of years from now will ba almost a much of a curiosity as the camel or els pliant. But until he has disappeared from the realm of traffic and commerce he has a right to our affectionate care and protection. TTh h6rse has been a powerful factor In our eilllzatlon. Our forest never could have been cleared to make way for TiomVs;-our lumber never could liave been hauled to market; our grains and fruits . and all other products of the soil never could have been made profitable but for the horse. His endurance, ntn tractnblllty. nls patience, his willingness, have been jver ' at man's disposal. And how terribly ban man repaid all these qualities. Tho'cru . city, the selfishness, the" Ingratitude Tjf man toward the horse would fill volumes. ; Henry Bcrgh was the first man in ": America to .awaken the public mind to . the responsibility of man toward tho beasts of burden. A vast number of societies now exist, nil doing good work according to their 5" light, nil helping tho race of man to f higher Ideals, while they help the animals ' to better treatment. Tho Horso Aid Society of New York ivas Incorporated September 2, 1910, with " 'A Spuaro Deal for tho Horse" as Its motto. In Its sturdy campaign In behalf ' of 'the horses of tho poor tho society has . established an Institution where treat ' ment and medicines are given freo of charge. Among these are: Thu Clinic, where not only horses, but ' dogs and rats, are given gratuitous 't tot Ion.

Tho BOcicty has given out 609 blankets, ninetx-two se,ts of chain qhoes, 120 fly. nets, 115 summer bridles, seventy-five chest .protectors, and abqut J300 worth of freo feed. Three boy's clubs, wlh total member ship of 200, act as agents and report cases of cruelty to the society. The society has two physlcjaus who give their services free to families of poor horse owners. Through tho efforts of the president of this society, the Horse Aid society of Indlanapolla has been organized, and fix teen cities have agitated the flro horse pension fund. Tho Horse Aid society teaches eco nomic valuo .of . saving the working horse by giving: it proper stabling,' feeding and harnessing. When this is done, the horso I? beterablojto.do Its work and liver longer, which means dollars and cento to the owner. It Is therefore a charitable, as well as humane and edu cational, association, inasmuch as it benefits the horse. This society does not believe In arrest. ng drivers on charges of crueltv rn tiiM- fortes (the complaint taken In court Is just the same whether the horse was sore or lame of beaten by his driver) be cause hardship Is then the lot of th master as well as the animal, because of tho loss of time and the Imposition of a fine, thus causing additional suffering to to the prisoner's family. And further than this, drivers who are arrested and fined often take out spite by beating their horses when they get them to the stable. Advice to the Lovelorn lly BEATRICE FAIRFAX". N'o. . , .

Apparently 'he doesn't. But give her the benefit of the doubt. There may be reasons why she accepted this invita tion that have nothing to do with the state of her heart.

SEHVISHi When you read fho name of the Km pcror Caracclla you recall, with n shud- der, the long series of cruelties, mur ders and abominations that history haa associated with him, Says the great, historian Gibbon: "Caracalla was the common enemy of mankind!" .Gibbon could, read, in , tho Mnrf'n uosmopoman, tne story or the discoveries recently made Hi Ilome by Prof, Aicssio Vallo he might modify his opinion of Caracalla. At tho . very least ho would be compelled to admit that the emperor whom ho helped to cover with Infamy In tho eyes of the modern world, had an other, and a very unexpected sldo to his nature, a sldo which everybody must admire, In spite of tho brutal and crimi nal instincts with which it was Joined. We all know that Caracalla erected In Rome an enormous bath, palace, now called the Thermae of Caracalla, whose gigantic ruins constitute .one of the sights of the Internal City. Two or three of his successors extended and embellished the work, but to Caracalla belongs . the honor of having conceived It, started It and filled, it with soma of the greatest workri df'art that the world contained, Some of 'these masterpieces were dis covered iu .the ruins of the baths many years ago, . and they now adorn great m'us"eiims, "but Prof. Valle has dug deeper and found that 'tho sub-soll of the lm- Vicnse edifice Is rich In precious marbles, thopossessTon. of any o;ie of which would establish .the fame of a modern museum. The exceeding beauty of these stfOlpturea may be Judged from the pho tographs that accompany Prof, Valle's article. Such a storehouse, a large part Greek Bust of Fifth Centura, Found In the Baths of Caracalla. of which has been burled and forgotten for centuries, furnishes a partial explana tion of tho disappearance of the thousand precious works of the Oreok artlsts; whlch are known to have been brought to Ilomo after Greece had been con quered and looted by tho armies ot Italy. Not only the gold of the ancient world, but nearly all Its' finest works of art were poured into Rome, and liavo been burled In Its majestic ruins. But above all Ills other discoveries Prof. Valle puts that of, n great lbniry" which he has found lit Caracalla's baths. This, he believes, contained many of tho miming treasures of the famous library bf Alexandra, brought to Home by the order of tho emperor himself after ills suppression of u .rebellion in Hnypt. It Is tho first time that archaeologist have unearthed a publlo library uf unolant Itoinu. It gives u new idea of the lm portanc'e of the great thermae In the life of tho Imperial nees. The arrangements for the bathers wero on the most sump tuous scale, hut. In nddltlnu, the great LulMlngs served as club Mount, places of publlo assembly. Turn many halls for Jiolftlcnl plJttors, conservation rooms, art galleries and even libraries. Bust of Emperor Caracalla, Now in National MtiRotim, Home. Not less nstonlBhlng and Interesting are the evidences of engineering skill that Prof. Vnllu's excavations have disclosed. Iinmenxtt galleries extended under tho building, which mensured 1,000 feet in or.o direction and nearly 1,400 In the otlnr. nnd the total length or theno undor ground passages was over two mlloX You will read, with Interest, 11 w dls tnverer's suggestion as to tho use! to which these passages wero put. The arrangements for supplying and disposing of tho water, for lighting th enormous structures, whoso solid walls wero ISO feet In height, and for ventila tion, are such as tho most skillful of modern engineers and builders might envy. Vast quantities of lead pipe em ployed for the conduits were t-vldentty carried away by the barbarians who looted Ilome. Hut I m not writing n summary of Prof. Valle's discoveries; you should read his articles In order to form an opinion of their extent, Interest and Importance. Whan you have done thut your Im agination will form a picture of what this palatial edlfiro must have been when It was crowded with representatives of the" wealth, fashion nnd luxury of Imperial Home, which held the world in Its Irre sistible grasp. Around them were dis played thu most beautiful statues that man has evrr created or looked upon. Thoy walked through halls of marble and alabaster, on tesselated pavements, under Glittering ceilings, fanned by obscqutouM slaves, and never dreaming that such power nd splendor Would, within a few JrenturlM", be burled lit dust, while their vtry names woum be rorRotten, only that of Caracalla, "the ambitious, tho blood, thirsty, the magnificent," remaining. Battle of Buena Vista lly REV. THOMAS 11. GREGORY. February 22 was tho sixty-sixth anni versary of the brittle of Ducna Vista, fought between tho Americans under General Tnylur and tho Mexicans undor Santa Anna. Learning that the greuter part of Taylor's urniy hail been taken from him to uld Scott In Ills siege of Vera Cruz. Santa Anna concluded that ho wiuld attnek the Americans, and. In HiMr weakened tate. annihilate them The attack was promptly made. w th the result that Santa Anna little expected The 5,000 Americans Inflicted upon tho M.CO Mex icans an overwhelming defeat, driving them from the field In litter rout and confuss'on. Tho Mexican deml loft upon the field numbered 667. to say nothing of tho.io that were carried off tho field, and tho 2.CC) or more that were wounded. The American loss In killed and wounded was about tOC. As a result of the victory at Buena lslf. all the northern part of Meotlco pnrped into American powesslon, and "Old 5"ack," having nothing more to do, ars'Kned tho command of his army to General Wool arid returned' to the t'nlted Ftotes, leaving General Scott to finish UP tho business at Vera Crux and the City of Mexico. Apropos of the battle of Bueno Vlota, It may ho said that as It was In that bat tle so It was In every battle of the war. From tho beginning to the end of tho war the Mexicans did not win a solitary victory. The Mexicans showed a splendid cour age! In nearly every Instance thojn greatly outnumbered their adversaries, and In nearly every Instance, again, they had tho advantage of position, still tho Americans Invariably beat them. At Palo Alto 2.000 Amorlcans routed ,000 Mexicans nnd nt Tlesaca de la Palma th oddB wero about the satrie. At Monteroy, Taylor with 6,000 men stormed a place that was defended by a force 12,000 strong. At Buena Vlstn the odds were four to one against the Americans, as they wero also at Sacramento. At Sierra Gordo General Srott, with 8,000 men. fought Santa Anna strongly Intrenched with 13,000, and yet he walked right over him, killing nnd wounding 1,000 of his men, capturing 3,000 and dispersing the restv Finally Scott, with 12,000 men as against SO.OOO of the enemy, won Churubusco. Chapultpeo and the City of Mexico Itself. Thus, In every Instance throughout tho Mexican war, wcrt tho Invaders vie- torlous, and .notwithstanding, the fact that the advantage In numbers and In position was-Invariably with those, whoso country they wero Invading. This Is a decidedly unique fact In thij. history of warfare, -since It would bo dif ficult; If not Impofsible. to find another conflict between two nations In whloh there was not to some extent. at least, a dltrlslon of tho honors of the battlefield. The explanation Is left for the psy chologists, who study the deeper traits of men and nations. Ilrlpf nrclslons.
