Show o The Horseless Age. A Yankee down East thus sizes up the horseless age. "I pity tho man who says the automobile will drive out tho horse. There is all the difference differ-ence In the world between the horse and the machine. The difference between be-tween the living and dead; between tho game, resolute, do-or-dle spirit oi tho horse that compels admiration, and the inanimate machine that does not. Take a clock, that has stopped forever, even a faithful clock, and you can't wring a tear out of the chll dren with a force pump; but they'll cry as If their hearts were broken ovei a St. Bernard that's passed on to the animal heaven. Tho steam engine and the trolley haven't put horses out of commission and tho automobile won't; still, I hope for their sake, that It'll take a few of them out oi the hands of the brutal and ignorant who don't know how to use them."
