GENTLE WORDS 70 HORSES.

The ridiculously loud tone Of voice In
which orders are generally given to horses
when the driver desires them to start OF
stop. has often been a subject of surprise
TO me. If horses were next thingt to deaf
there would be an excuse for the shouting
and Yelling so generally indulged, bu
they are not, and therefore need not be
spoken to so loudly and harshly. The ear
Of horse is very sensitive, ana, saw ann,r 81
exceptional cases, it Is possible to controi
his motions by a command given in
moderate tone Of voice, just as readlly'
and indeed. I think. more readily, than
where this rough. rude manner IS used.
A horse is a teacfiable animal, and 10 al
WAYS affected by kind treatment. The fact
Of The matter is, that If kind words and
gentle treatment throughout were given
these animals instead of oaths, curses and
blows. we should find their doc!ity great
" increased. Just imagine if you VIII.
q gee or whoa! uttered in tone suffi-
GENTLY loud to be heard half a mile dis
tant and thus command given to an ami
NAL within five or ten feet of the party
giving it, Wherein consists the necessity
for lip Why not resort to more rational,
and certainly more pleasing means? Why
not speak in moderate tone? This is all
that is required. The horse, If not deaf,
can hear it, and will as readily obey as If
given In laundering tones.
One of the best managed teams have
ever seen, was controlled by the driver
without the indulgence of this usual yell
ing. The driver rarely ever spoke above
his ordinary tone Of voice, and yet bis
horses laid into their work with as much
willingness, and apparently greater earn
estness than ii they had been driven to it
by fearful shoutings and blows. Let me
appeal to the common sense of your read
ers In this particular direction. The horse
is an intelligent animal. None Of the
brute creation more readily appreciate
kind words and kind treatment. Such
facts should be considered always by those
who have the care Of these animals

SEATs.-The Normal School Board
and Faculty are sitting in judgment on
four specimens of school desks, the
makers OF which are competing for the
contract to furnish the Normal. One
is the Emporia desk, made by Mr.. Nc
Donald, and is flrst-class article in
both design and make up. The next
is from another State, and to our lik-
ing not rs good. The third is the lola
desk OF Shomon &c Purcell, and is an
admirable one, beautifully finished.
The last ia from Leavenworth, and is
also excellent. The three Kansas
desks are all flrst-rate, and look very
nearly alike. We could not see but
what the Emporia desk is as good as
the best, though the sample has nee
essarilY been made as rapidly as
possible to get ready for showing.

EDITOR NEWS: Permit me through
your columns Gin behalf of many OF
the citizens of Americas and vicinity,
and mere especially that the rights OF
our fellows may be vindicated), to
make a correction or statement of
facts and explanation respecting the
vote that was cast for blanket, to be
presented to the prettiest baby at the
sociable held ut Americas on the even
ing of the 3Oth ultimo. The two COM
petitors were Charlie James and George
Beard, Charlie receiving az votes,
while George received but co. But for
very trilling cause, far insufficient to
justify the action, 10 votes cast for
Charlie were rejected, which gave the
present in favor of George. To this
move many of the citizens became dis
gusted, and bitterly denounced the
transaction as unjust and partial /;
hence, in order To- show their sympathy
to the wronged, they united their eff
forts, and very quickly raised funds
sufficient to get Charlie a blanket,
| (callcd the citizens blanket,) far sur
passing the one which his competitor
so uniustly received. So little Charlie
yet stands where he should before the
public. A CITIZEN.
