What Bob Burdette Thinks.

Why am ! a woman suifragist
Because ! am. Because n woman
has more good, hard common sense
than man. Because she makes less
buster about her rights, and quietly
maintains them better than a man.
Because she won't give $3.50 for an
article that she knows very we'll she
can get for - cents. Because she
does not stalk loftily away from the
counter without her change if the
robbcr behind it is little reluctant
about counting il out. Because she
is too Independent To pay the land
lord 50 for her dinner and then pay
the head waiter 81 TO send her a
waiter who will bring it to her for
80 cents. Because she will hold her
money tightly in her own good little
right hand for two hours until she
first gets n receipt for it from the
fellow who made her husband pay
the same bill five times last year.
Not any "just give you credit for it"
for her Because one day a Pullman
porter complained to me, NO money
on this trip; too many women
aboard. Don't get nothin out Of a
woman 'ceptin' just her regular fare"
| had Just paid him 20 cents for
backing one of my boots and losing
the other And whom he said that |
saw for myself the heroic frmness
of those women, travelling alone,
paying their fare and refusing to gay
the salaries of the employees of a
corporation. said: These
women have q right to vote. To
vote BY all that is brave and self
reliant and sensible, they have a
right to run the government. -

ond, because lesson learned from
book alone il never fully learned.
Much may be learned without book,
and in the moments when the stl-
dent is accustomed to let his mind
wander vaguely among all kinds of
indefinite subjects, rather than con
fine itself to actual work. There the
student may plan his work so that
one study will serve as a recreation
from the severe strain of another,
and thus without loss of time crafty
that desire for recreation which ex-
lists in every healshy mind.
The second duty which the student
owes To himself is that of cultivat-
ing the power of concentrated atten-
ton. The primary object of educa-
ton is not TO gain 50 many facts, but
to discipline the mind so that it viii
be capable of controlling the entire
man through the cxigcncies of life.
He who lack, the power of attention
at his best makes only a half success.
more properly, the power of conccn-
tration, for it is the concentrated
efforts OF all the faculties of the
mind upon one point--has been a
most marked element in the charac-
ter of all successful men. Uncer-
tainty, indecision, defeat every aim.
The student who has social amuse-
ments or any other detracting object
before his mind while he is studying
fails in attaining the first object in
education. lie spends his tIme use
lessly in reading over and over a
lesson which with controlled effort
would be learned at one reading.
The mind has an exact symbol in
the physical system, and possesses
the same power of contraction and
relaxation of action and rest You
do not expect that an arm will be-
come strong and muscular without
vigorous action, neither will the
brain become powerful and active
without severe discipline.
Habits are strong, and he whose
fibrcs, mental or physical, are neg
lectcd in youth, seems never again
to possess the strength of will to
discipline them. Strength of brain
must be cultivated just as strength
Of body, and with the same concen-
tration and scyerity.-Normm M

TO TELL n HORSES AGE.

At 3 years old the horse should
have the central permanent nippers
growing, the other two pairs wasting,
six grinders in each jaw, above and be-
low, the first and fifth level, the Others
and the sixth protruding. The sharp
edges of the new incisors will be very
evident, compared with the old teeth.
As the permanent nippers wear and
continue to grow n narrow portion OF
the cone-shaped tooth is exposed by the
attrition Of the teeth on each other.
The mark will be wearing ont and tho
crowns of the teeth will be sensibl'
smaller than at 9 years. Between 81 ana
4years the next pair OF nippers will be
changed, the central nippers will have
attained nearly their full growth, vacu
ity will be left where the second stood
and the corner teeth will be diminished
IN breadth, worn down and the mark IL
the center of the tooth will become
faint. The second pair of grinders will
be she'd. At 4 years the central nippers
will lie fully developed, the sharp edge
somewhat worn off, and the mark some
what wider and fainter The next pair
will be up, but they will be small, with
mark deep and extending across them.
The corner nippers will be larger than
the inside ones, but smaller than before
and fiat, and the mark nearly ofrlced.
The sixth grinder will have risen to n
level with the others, and the tushes
will begin to appear. At > years the
horses mouth is almost perfect. The
corner nippers are quite up, the long.
deep mark irregular in the inside and
the other nippers will bear evident
tokens of increased wear The tushe
are nearly grown, the sixth molar il
up and the third molar is wanting
This last circumstance will prevent tn,
deception of attempting to pass lat,
4-yearold as n 5-year-old. At c. the
mark on the central nippers is worp
out. At 7 the mark is worn out in tho
four central nippers and fast wearinl
away in the corner teeth. The tushe,
are rounded at the points and edges,
and beginning to get round inside. AT
S years old the tushes are rounded in
every way; the mark is gone from all
the bottom nippers. There is nothing
remaining in them that can afterward
clearly show the age of horse. After
this the only guides are nippers in the
upper jaw. At 8 years the mark will
be worn from the middle nippers, from
the next pair at 10 years, and from all
the upper nippers at IL We RS. At Q
Y ars the center nippers are round in.
stead of oval. AT 10 years the others be.
gin TO become rounded; at IL years the
pair are much rounded; at 10 years the
corner ones have the same appearance
at IA years the face OF the center nip
pers becomes somewhat triangular; at
IL they are all so.-Sk Louis GioLs.
