The first race horses were so small and weak that they were not ridden on horse back. They pulled light vehicles around the course with the drivers standing in them. This was in pre-Christa iaii days. By the time racing be- mime a top sport in Europe, thor- mighbreds had been developed so that they were strong enough to support the weight of a driver on thrir backs. '

,Stenogi-aphers not only read more than their bosses but. many of them know more than their bosses do.

The following assay written by a Prince County school boy gives us the low down on what h& thinks of the Micmac Indians of this Province.

"Indians is folk who lived on this Island before the whites cams. They have a second name which they calls "Micmacs". In- dians don't make much money becauseithey don't care anything about money. They drink a strange drink called "firewatef' and loves it to the yiast drop. which sounds to me like a big lie because my Dad says it's hot stuff, only fit for pigs. Our gov- ernment should put the ones that sell iirewater in jail because when a Micmac gets drunken he gets ugly and wants to scalp every white boy and girl he meets.

"Micmaca is very religious when they is at church. Other times they is not religious at all. They has many kids, and traces of their descent back to the Great Spirit himself. One Indian. named Knockwood, said his forefathers was in the ark with another red- skin named Sark. .

"Indian boys and girls is all brought up in wigwams which are healthy homes because they lets in the air and lets out the files.

"If you wishes to live at peace with an Indian you must not re- fuse to smoke his pipe of pe ce.

"1 have not seen many Ind ns myself, which is pretty well be- cause I am scared stiff of seeing them. If you wants to live a happy life. and wants your name to live after you. don't have noth- ing at all to .do with Indians.''

That's a pretty good essay for a seven-year-old boy even if he did miss some of the facts. And it reminds me of the time when I was about the same age and returning home from Cornwall school all ,by my lonesome. When I came to Keliow'a bridge I saw a couple of Indians climbing the steep hank, their arms full of material for making baskets and

aka handles. Each of tissm can ried in his belt a long knife and a hatchet. Horror of horrors! I iron in my footsteps. My tboushts ran to scalping and other atrocity stories lid heard the older pupils reading about in their history books.

By this time the Mlcrnacs had reached the bridge and cut off as I thought. any attempt I might make to reach the safety of my home. The larger of the two men smiled broadly when he obsdrvedthat I was really scared. Then he said. "Has -your mother any buttermilk?" I said, "Yes. sir. Mother always has buttermllkvin the cellar. Want me-to get - in a - some?” i

"Sure"-he grinned. and the flash of his white teeth made me shiver all over again. "I-tun home as quick as you can and bring us back some buttermilk. That's a good boy." ,

He need not have wasted his breath telling me to run home, for no sooner had I got safely past the bridge than I raced to the home port on winged feet.

"What's all that puffing and blowing about?" said mother as I bounced into the kitchen.

"It's the Indians mother." I sob- bed. "The red men are after me with knives and hatchots and-"

"Nonsense," said mother. "You are having a day dream, child. Those Indians down there by the brook wouldn't harm you. They are only cutting wood for their baskets and axehandles."

"Maybe so." I said. "But you'll never get me to carry them any buttermilk." and she didn't.
