In the campaign OF 1884 the two candi-
dates for Governor In n pivotal" West-
ern State arranged for a series OF joint
discussions. Both mon were popular, both
/ of fine appearance and were so we'll
matched In mental force and as orators
that the contest between them promised to
be magnificent one. For several weeks
the scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican cam
didate came up niling. He seemed over
come and spoke laboredly. The noxt day
compelled to ask his opponent for a post
ponement of certain appointments which
was granted. Before the campaign ended
he had abandoned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-
tinued his canvass, seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective with
each succeeding week. He was elected.
One evening in December while entertain-
ing several gentlemen he said:
81 will tell you n campaign secret
which gave me tho election. With the
opening of my campaign l began caring
for my liver. / knew that disordered or
torpid liver meant dullness and possible

his trouble to DO his liver and felt like pre-

The Cows Tail.

The cows tail is mighty engine of
oppression in these fly times to the
mixer. There are many devices, both
patented and applied for, that claim the
exclusive privilege of holding the tail at
a distance from the mixers eyes. The
man who cuts the cows tail off short
up to the rump is human fiend, and
not much can be said in favor of dis
figuring the COW by cutting off the
switch which device after all permits
her TO more freely swing what remains
of her tail. and she will nearly knock
the head off of you without switch to
cushion the blow. A simple plan to
prevent being annoyed by the COW is to
place the switch under the left knee of
the mixer; that is, clasp it between the
calf and thigh of the left leg. At the
same time, it would be humane and
graceful act to have sheet to put over
the COW while you milk her. You do
not begrudge this comfort to the horse,
then why should the COW be neglected.
Her skin is just as thin and flies bite her
much harder than they do the horses.

pressed a willingness to get on rs well
as he could without cook and house
keeper for time, IL thought best
And so he returned home, leaving
both Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons at the
shanty with the injured boy.
The next morning Mr.. Parsons went
to the Landing, riding the horse which
he had left at the shanty the day before
when he went for the doctor, and lead
ing the borrowed one, which ho re-
turned TO its owner. Then taking his
own, he rode to his own home. Here he
remained but few hours and was

bedside of his child.
The doctor came again the next day,
and every day for many days and
weeks; for Johnny was not moved from
the shanty, whose inmates had shown so
much hospitality, for three long months;
and when at last he was taken home
his parents knew that he would never
| again be the healthy, rollcksome boy
he had been, going everywhere about
the house and ranch, and carrying sun
shine wherever he went, but that he
was to be cripple always; the injury
to his back making it impossible that
he should ever stand erect or be able to
walk again.
When 1t became evident that weeks,
and may be months, would elapse be-
fore Johnny could be moved from the
Jones shanty, the girls had been writ

and had come Immediately home and
assumed the care of household affairs
| Occasionally one of them took Mrs.
Parsons place at the bedside of the
sufferer, while the mother returned to
the cottage to see that everything was
going right, or for rest of night or
two.
John Parsons had also remained at
the Jones shanty the greater portion of
the time; for Johnny was fretful in his
sullerings, and no one could lift or turn
him so well as his father, whom quite
rs much rs his mother he wanted con-
stantly near him. And so he had re-
manned, trusting everything on the
ranch to Erastus, and going home only

No one could possibly have shown
more kindness and sympathy than did
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, who were thus
called upon to act the part of good Sa-
maritars to those whom they had never
before seen. They even consented that
their own children should leave them
for II time-when the fever had set in,
and johnny was at the worst, that their
noise might not disturb him, and they
had been taken to the Parsons cottage,
where they remained some weeks and
were cared for by Erastus and the girls.
When the crippled boy was at last
removed to his own home, these kind
people beneath whose roof he had been
so long, would not consent to make
any charge for their trouble or to ac-
cept any pay, except such as was forced
upon them in the way of presents to
Mrs. Jones and the children.

MANAGING HORSES.
An Ordinarily Intelligent Animal Easily
Controlled.

An Ordinarily Inteiiigcnt Animal Easily
Controlled.
"If you wish to drive your horse with
an open bride, have him tried with one
before putting him to your top wagon,
otherwise he may get away with you."
The above floating paragraph may
seem to the writer of it to contain the
essence of wisdom. 1t seems to me,
however, to imply doubt whether the
man is to be the master, or should take
off his hat to his horse with q "What is
your will, sirP" / don't believe that
there is one horse in a thousand that
can not be driven without binders to n
top buggy, provided he is properly
managed from the first. Besides, the use
| of the blind bride does not insure safety.
| A horse that had thus been driven for
| years. and was considered perfectly
safe, being left standing with the buggy,
turning his head and seeing the top,
took fright and ran away. That a
| young horse at first sight should be
frightened by a buggy top is perfectly
natural. 1t might not be prudent to
hitch him in on the instant. But the
| fact that the horse's fear would make
| it unsafe to drive him at nine clock is no
| reason why he should not be driven with
| perfect safety before ten, or at any time
| afterwards. The same may be said of
| carrying an umbrella or rattling
| bucket or firing gun on the horse s
| back. Whatever the sights or sounds
| that frighten the horse now, his fear of
them may be readily removed with n
little patience and kind treatment.
A man rode up to a store and bought
n broom. The horse at sight of the
broom showed signs of fear, and the
man amused himself by thrusting the
broom into the horses face. He then
mounted, and asked by-stander to
hand him the broom. sneering at the
! friendly warning of danger. He took
the broom, and was quickly thrown off
into the mud. Served the fool right,
too. Had he given the horse little time
| to examine the broom, spoken kindly to
the animal, carried the broom gently
over the horse, touching him with it on
both sides, he might have carried the
broom and kept his seat in the saddle.
| To drive the horse with open bride
to top buggy, bring him to the buggy
and introduce him to it in straightfor-
ward manner. Raise and lower the top,
let the horse see it in all positions, smell
of it, lead him into the shafts head fore
most; raise the shafts, and play them
up and down and against the horse's
body; move and shake the buggy; in a
little while you will perceive that his
fear is going. and you can hitch him in
and drive him. The best horsemen,
nowadays, discard binders entirely

thing to stay his Stomach, when Luck
brought him a fine, large Grasshoppcr. He
was about to swallow the Insect when the
Hopper exclaimed:

me when there are plenty of Hares in the
Weeds Just ahead?"
That's so, and how foolish was!" an
swered the Turkey as he let the Hopper go
and set out to find Hares. AT the end of
half an hour he leaned up against a barbed-
