MANAGING A FESTIVE HoRsE.-
Thousands Of valuable horses are annu-
ally made worthless by improper treat
ment; colt-breakers ruin numbers Of
horses by their stupid brutality. No
man can succeed In training horse to
perfection unless he can command his
temper, that Is the most important
thing OF all; the next thing Is to get the
horse to understand what yon wish to
do, and you must be on good terms to
do this; there must be confidence on
both sides, and fear on neither. A horse
will forgive you II, when he has done
wrong, you correct him fairly and mod
erately, but not II you practice coward
ly cruelty to him in private. Horses
that have been treated in that way until
the groom could not approach them 1t
all will follow me through fire and wa
ter; they are very sensitive to right and
wrong, and can appreciate justice.

A Young Man Takes Poison and Dies
on the Death.Bed Of His AfYianced.

The following is q special dispatch TO
the Cincinnati Commercial from Mavs-
vile, Ohio: Our people, young and
old, were shocked last Friday evening
TO hear that Lou Grossenbach had
taken poison and was dead, at the resi-
dence Of H. j. King, ESQ. The cir

and Lou was so affected BY her death
that he was almost il not completely
crazy for several days, and though he
has never been himself since, il was
thought that he was better and getting
along well, and has been staying in the
drug store for some time. On Friday
afternoon he went to the house Of Mr..
King, and told Mrs. King he had q
headache, and wanted to 90 up stairs
and lie down on Dora's bed. He did
so, and in q very short time Mrs. King
went up to the room and found him
dead.
He left Q letter at his room in the ho-
tel where he boarded, stating that he
had intended to drown his sorrow BY
drinking, but that would not be show
ing respect for the one he loved 50 dear
y, so he adopted this course to end his
sorrow at once. He directed his re-
mains to Be buried by the side Of Miss
King; also left directions for erecting .
Inc monument at his grave and that Of
Miss King.
