Balky Horses.

Yelling and whipping on the part of the
trainer or driver, over loading, sore shout.
ders or ill-fitting collars-these are the
causes that make horses balk. But if you
have horse or colt that balks, while |
cannot. without personal knowledge of
the subject, tell you what to do, | can
tell you what not to dO-never whip. If
he won't go, let him stand still and think
it over and after few moments ref1ec-
ton, and few losses of his head, he will
very often go on of his own accord. Or,
If this does not answer get out of the
wagon and pat him, and talk to him
kindly. A horse is very susceptible to
kindness; and have known more than
one quite vicious horse gentled into good
behavior by few pats from a lady's
gloved hand on the moist neck and veined
muZzle. Sometimes it is we'll to loosen a
strap or start buckle. l have known
the mere act of unchecking and recheck-
ing the animal to answer the purpose. 1t
took his attention off in another direc-
ton, you see, changed the current of his
thought and broke up his purpose and
determination to resist. For this
same reason, an apple or a bunch of
grapes from the roadside, or handful of
oats or few kernels of corn, will often
accomplish what an hour of beating could
never effect. The truth is, man must
govern himself before he can hope to gov
ern lower animals. A man flushed with
passion, his brain charged with heated
blood, his eyes blazing with rage, is not
in condition to think clearly; and it is
just this thinking clearly that is, above
all else, needed in directing and control
ling horses. Hence it is that contact with
horses, and an actual experience in teach
ing them, is one of the finest disciplines a
man can have. He grows to love the colt
he is teaching; and no nature is utterly
depraved in which is going on the exer-
else Of affection, no matter how humble
the object of it may be. His employment
makes it necessary for him to think; and
this keeps intellect, which might other
wise have no development, alive. The
language of the stable is not, as many pi-
Gus and ignorant people imagine, all slang.
Care and anxiety are felt in the groom's
ROOM and consultations are held upon the
issue of which the health and safety OF
valuable property depend. Plans are
formed, and methods of procedure
adopted, upon which fame and vast sums
OF money come and go. Faults of ma.
ture and errors of education and practice
are corrected; and the trainer discovers
that in schooling Gods creatures he is
being schooled himself. Thus in all
other branches of honorable industry the
horseman discovers that he is the point
from which one current goes forth and
another enters in. He bestows, and he
receives; he educates, and is educated
and the life which so many thoughtless
people despise closes, as in the case o.

DON'T TAMPER WITH A COUGH Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more, but to those
who have paid dearly for experience it is the
diseases-C Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked--so sure as the
rivuet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.

Tho Republicans of Kentucky held their own
well, at the recent election. The Democratic
majority in the State is greatly reduced from the
figure it has sometimes reached, while in sever
al of the Congressional districts, they barely es
capped defeat. In the First district which has
been considered the Gibraltar of Bourbonism,
they have but about 200 majority, and in the
Second, there is a probability that the Demo
cratic candidate has been defeated by an indie
pendent. In the Fourth, the contest between
Proctor Knott, Dem, and Hill Independent, has
been very close, though Knott is probably cleo
ted. In the Ninth District, the Republican can

While the North Western States generally do
well for the Republicans, Wisconsin presents
an exceptionally favorable result. Last year,
in that State, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor was beaten by 1912 majority, and in the
Legislature there was an Opposition majority of
II on Joint ballot. This year, the State goes
Republican by a majority Of 5000, the Legisla-
sure is strongly Republican, and eight Repub-
liean and only two Democratic Congressman are
elected.
This decided revulsion from last year has its
explanation, Of course, and a correspondent Of
the New York Times, writing from Milwaukee,
says
And now it will be asked, now does it hap
pen that amid the disasters which have over
taken the Republican cause generally in these
late elections, Wisconsin alone has actually gone
back on her recent Democratic demon
stration, and wheeled again into line as
staunch Republican State? When her
sisters are falling around her, she,
who had before fallen, is rising again to position
In this last remark is much Of the answer to the
query. That the people are restless in politics
ia evident enough. In virtue OF this restless
ness the people Of Wisconsin last year took this
Democratic chute. The step realized nothing
to their hopes. They have passed year OF dis
appointment, and gone back to their longtime
organization and in this answer to the query
may be inferred the hollowness of the Demo
cratic victories now recorded elsewhere"
Now, may we look for other instances like
Wsconsin-'n fact for general ebb Of the OPP
position tide, by 1876? Undoubtedly, the re-
cent elections were all given away by Republi
can votes, to the Democrats 1t now remain
to be seen whether the Republican party will SO
cure the return of those votes to its own sup
port. We think it will. The correction Of all OF
rors, the conclusive snubbing Of all Brings,
the wedding out of impudent self-seeker
who have fastened upon the party, will pu
the organization in favor again, an
those of its members who, at this election
gave their aid to the Democrats, will, as the
have already done in Wisconsin, march and vot
under the Republican banner. In such caae, "
shall reverse this temporary success Of the OF
position, and prove it merely one Of the man
battles in long campaign. But we shall hot
this without taking every possible measure to pl
rify the party organization. Nothing must
left undone to prove that it is capable of givin
the country pure, honest, honorable govern
