IS LOST ART. Diagnosticans assert that love-making is now a lost art; that the ubiquitous Dan has lost his cunning in focusing the shafts from his seductive quiver; that the preparatory seed of connubial bliss has been pulverized under the millstone of commercialism, and that the effusive explosions of the cupidic bomb have been hushed into the stillness of a Soudan Zephyr. No more does the plumed knight enter the tilting ring with the colors of his "Layde Faire" pinioned upon his lance; no more does the gaily bedecked Troubalour sing his plaintive ditty under the casement of the castle keep; no more does the love-sick swain pen sweet sonnets in blood drawn from his brawny arm. Lovemaking today is a commercial proposition, void of any sentimenlal, romantic or spectacular embellishment. Even the stage lover has changed. The Fetcher, the Wallack, the Coghlan have gone, and no successor in evidence. David lielasco's captivating star, Blanche Bates, an actress of infinite discretion and discernment, who has histronically made love under every known national environment, and who in her new play, "Nobody's Widow," gives a delightful explosion of love-making, acknowledges with her characteristic sincerity that the stage is destitute of proficient stage lovers, and that the natural impulses that actuated the stage lover of the past are not allowed to become essential now, with the result that the modern player acts by role and not by innate perception. TO GIVE DANCE. The members of the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity of Muncie, will give their annual Christmas dance Decern-1 ber the twenty-eighth, in the Commercial Club hall. ABOUT GIFTS. Among the first to begin the gift giving for the holidays are the clubs and sororities that celebrate the season at their meeting nearest to Christinas. By common consent, these club organizations exchange gifts in a sensible way. Each member brings to that meeting a single gift. It is made up into a Christmas' package and is usually placed in a receptacle large enough to hold a considerable number. Sometimes the members march about the table on which the gifts stand and at a signal all stop and help themselves to the nearest package. Sometimes the gifts are numbered as they are brought and afterwards slips bearing numbers are distributed, the members taking the package with the duplicate number. These and other ways are employed and each member goes home with a gift and yet no one has been burdened by giving many gifts. The gifts are often accompanied with original verses and the packages are opened and the verses are read at the Christmas meeting or party. Each one, of course, is the best effort of the writer and they furnish much entertainment when read before the company. Indianapolis News. CHRISTMAS MUSIC. The various church choirs of the city are busy practising their Christmas music including songs and cantatas. Several of the choirs will also give 1 little Christmas playlets. The programs for these events will probably be announced later. MEETING POSTPONED. The Spring Grove Sewing Circle will not meet Tuesday afternoon. The meeting has been postponed for two weeks. The hostess will be announced later. Not a Fashion Plato. "I am afraid your clothes are very much out of style," said the sporty youth. "I hop so," replied the conservative father.

Mounts of U. S. Cavalrymen Now Equal Best Chargers of Europe

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. The humiliation which the officers of the United States army suffered at the National Horse show at Madison Square garden, a little more than a year ago, when they saw every ribbon in the charger classes easily won by officers from foreign countries, has been productive in a high degree. As a result of that stinging defeat nearly every prize offered in. similar classes this year was won by an American officer, astride an American mount. This was brought about by the energy of a few private individuals and the co-operation of officers of the United States army and officials of the war department. The American horses had barely been given the gate at the time of their memorable defeat when August Belmont presented the government with his famous stallion, Henry of Navarro, and Octagon with a view to reversing the order of things at the next horse show. The army officers who judged at the show and were forced to send the animals ridden by their fellow officers down to defeat before the braided and giled officers from beyond the sea, because of their manifest inferiority, at once started a movement to improvement the American cavalry horse. In this they had the hearty co-operation of the secretary of war. Not long afterward a group of men headed by Judge William H. Moore of New York raised a subscription fund to purchase mounts to be sent to the International Horse show held in London last June. A large sum of money was raised and a large sum paid for the best hunters, Jumpers and chargers which New York state, Virginia and Kentucky could furnish. Among these animals were the famous Knight of Elway, Chiswell and Tampico, besides a number of horses of lesser fame. As soon as these horses were delivered to the government they wera turned over to the keeping of well recognized stock breeders in Virginia, who bred them to the best mares in the state. This was done under the joint supervision of the department of agriculture and the war department. About a month before the Olympia show in London the first annual National Capital Horse show was held In Washington. The government animals were entered in the charger and jumping classes at the National Capital show and did well. In a number of classes they were defeated by the horses of private owners, notably those of the Blenheim stab'les of .Baltimore, owned by "Walter Abell, but on the whole their showing was creditable. The earliest evidence of the revivified interest in the cavalry horse was manifest when the first annual Military Horse show was held at Fort Myer, Va., in March, 1911. This show was organized chiefly by the officers at Fort Myer, but President Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson evidenced a keen interest in it. It was attended by all the army officers in Washington, besides practically the entire diplomatic corps and mem'bers of congress interested in the cavalry horse improvement. Th class of animals was poor, but -he great amount of interest was considered encouraging. When the time for the National Capital Horse show came around the universal Interest In the development of the army horse had reached such a point that the executive commit Earlham Seal CLASS PINS We've a full new line of gold and silver Earlham seal jewelry in class pins, scarf pins, hat pins, fobs and cuff buttons.

tee of the show was headed by Major Henry T. Allen, . one of the recognized authorities on the subject ia the service, and its membership wa made up of the most prominent horsemen of Virginia. The board of directors of the show was composed of the foremost mea

of the nation. The secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, the attorney general. United States Senators Wetmore of Rhode Island, and Bailey of Texas; Henry Fairfax, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General McGraw and many other prominent men served upon it, while President Taft was the patron of the show. While the show was still in progress Judge iMoore, who acted as one of the judges in the ring, purchased Roustabout, a famous high juniper, owned by Louis Leith of Virginia, au animal of the same strain as Heatherbloom, which held the high jump record lor many years. Immediately upon purchasing Roustabout Judge Moore presented it to the United States to further the development of the cavalry horse. At all the shows of the Virginia circuit last summer special classe were placed on the programs for chargers, and after the return of the government animals from Loudon they did well considering th fields they showed against. They were entered in several of the shows, j winning consistently. ! The movement for the improve-, ment of the American cavalry hors has resulted in the permanent establishment of two important horse shows, the Military Horses how at Fort Myer and the National Capital Horse show at Washington. Both shows bid fair to become internatioaal events. ; At the last session of the Sixtyfirst congress an effort was made to have a special bill introduced providing an appropriation developing - the cavalry horse. The effort failed, being postponed until the press of more important business crowded it out. A bill probably will be introduced and passed at the coming session of congress which will make ample provision for the purpose. Whether this work will be placed under the supervision of the department of agriculture or the war department is at present uncertain. j Barley. j Barley Is supposed to bo a native of ! western Aala, where wild forms still ! exist.
