He paid $12,600 at auction for Lottl Dil- lon when she was practically un- tried, and he gave $35,000 for Uhlan before he had attained champion- ship form. He- also gave $61,000 for The Harvester, 2:01, which at that time was the champion trotting stab lion of the world, because he want- ed to show foreign horsemen the finest specimens of the various types this country produced. He made two visits abroad, the first in 190e, when he was asked by the Imperial Trotting Club of Mos- cow to bring his horses to Russia. On this occasion he took Lod Dillion and 'several lesser lights and gave exhibitions with them. On his next visit in 1912 he took The Harvester and Uhlan, both of which amazed the foreigners by their great speed and purity of gait. He also showed their adaptability by exhibitions to saddle .and to double harness. it has always been a matter of regret on the part of Mr. Billings that he was unable to accept the invitation to aStend the Olympic games at Stockholm that year in order to show the throngs in attendance the best specimens of this splendid Am • - I crican family. . I As Russia has lost practically all , of her fine trotters through the mis-' government of the Bolshevists the future horse product of that country is a matter of concern to the rest of the world. Not only were the best specimens of the native stock slaugh- tered for meat or used in the cav- alry until they lost their usefulness but there was a special endeavor on the part of the Reds to destroy all the American sires which had been imported by the Li renal Government and private indivldeals, the native Or- loff mares having been found a fine cross for our stallions. After peace has cstoc to dtussia it is within the reelni of possibility that Mr. Billings, or some other representative horse- man will be moved to go to Russia sod kindle afresh the enthusiasm which must still exist there fur a good horse. Mr. Billings was for a short time interested in the thorough- bred and was the part owner of Omar Khayyam when that good little horse won the Kentucky Derby in 1917.

The law of compensation may or may not have anything to du with it, but the fact remains that conquer- ed nations have frequently left the impress of their languages upon the tongue spoken by the conquerors, for the troops always pick up native idioms and transplant them phon- etically into their own speech. Grad- ually these terms become second nature, and, upon the return of the regiments to their homes, the words are brought along and gradually seep into everyday use --at first as slang and later as accepted parts of the language. "Pajamas'' belongs to this class, for, when the British troops first oc- cupied India, the soldiers noted that the Hindustani were wearing a pe- culiarly comfortable variety of loose clothing, called in the native tongue "poejama," or "leg covering." The F..nglish officers took to wearing these garments during the hours when they were off duty, and it wasn't long before someone discov- ered that they made an excellent sub- stitute for night shirts. Before many years had passed the custom spread to England, and the name of the garments was slightly altered to "py- jama," in which farts it persists to this day—though usage has sanc- tioned the spelling "pajama."
