KATE'S EXPLOIT.

Kate Hartly had the name of being the
widest girl in Spring Creek. Yet Kate
was loved and respected by everybody
who knew her, for which fact there were
many reasons IN explanation Her beauty
was a powerful ally, and her father :
wealth was calculated to command respect,
but her true kindness of heart was what
offset her hoydenish disposition.
Yes, Kate was called Wild. She could
outride half the young uen in the neigh
borhood; could bring inamore game with
her fowling piece; and st pistol practice
she was a rival with expsrts.

ADJUSTING HARNESS TO THE Horse.
Every part of the harness should be
buckled up shorter or let out until the
harness fits the horse as nearly as a
pair of boots that are of the proper
size to fit ones feet, The collar should
fit closely, with space enough at the
bottom to admit a mans hand. If too
large, il has the bad effect of drawing
the shoulders together. On no consid.
Grafton should a team or work-horse
be compelled to wear a martingale, as
II draws the head down, and prevents
him from getting into an easy and
natural position. The check-rein may
be used, but only tight enough to keep
the head in a natural position, and
should never be wound around the
names See that the hames are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring tho
draft irons at the proper point on the
sides of the collar. If too low, it not
only interferes with with the action Of
the shoulder, but gives the collar an
uneven bearing. Caution should be
taken that the girth is not too tight
particularly on string teams, for wher
the traces are Strengthened it has tn,
tendency to draw the girth against the
belly and distress the horse.

Mr.. JoHNsoY.-Max Adeler tells the
following heart-rending story:
Mr. Alexader johnson, of Towanda,
is dead. He was billious-Mr. Alex
ander johnson was-and he saw the
following paragraph from the pen of
DR.. Hall:
"lf bilious man wants to get well
and is in no particular hurry, all he
wants to do is to lie down out doors
between two broad boards, and stay
there until he gets ravenously hun
cry"
Mr.. johnson followed this advice,
calmly fell asleep with board on top
of him. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces there would have been no trouble,
but there was a Fat Mans ball in the
beer saloon next door that day, and
the two champion fat men got over
the fence, and sat down with a jerk on
top of Mr.. Alexander Johnson's upper
board without knowing that he was
there. 1t squelched the breath out of
him at the first blow. And the fat
men, they sat there, and discussed pol
itics, and the Alabama claims, and the
weather, and womens' rights, and the
glacial theory, and metaphysics and
they kept on drinking glass after glass
of beer, and getting heavier and heav-
ier, until one of them looked under
the board, and there was Mr.. Alexan-
der johnson as dead as Nebuchadnez-
zer and smashed out so thin that you
could pass him under closed door
without scraping his vest but.
tons. He docs not suffer now from
bile, but Mrs. johnson is roaming over
the country hunting for DR.. Hail.
She will probably make a lasting i'm
pressiou on him if she meets him.
