 % How would you feel, manY l say. \bly endure this consTi ss...c without much complaint. But then you would begin to kiefA. la short time your neck would begin ttN ache, and your mouth would be filled withEsIood from the fruitlsSs efforts to get the head down. You would be come restless and begin to toss your head just es your horse is doing it now. How would you feel If, while the sun were binding your eyes, with burden to draw or carry, unable to see where to step, you were whipped into run, into ditch or depression in the rough street pavement? Would you feel comfortableS That's why you often see fine horses harnessed to elegant carriages paw vigorously, champ the bit, toss the head, and turn the neck. They want to loosen the check. 1 tONO1 InO hSetAt dAlu BeL a EOoI'
 HOW THE DRIVER TAKES IT.
 "The driver smiles or laughs, or stam- mers something. He thinks am queer fellow, and goes on to explain that he would not mind loosening the check, but the people who employ him were opposed to it, want moro style, and so on
 "'Well. then.' l say, call your peoples rsttention to the fact that the horses are beng tortured by the check rein. Tell then that the horses would be killed in 0 short time because of the silly fashion,
 T thus go on featuring. Often the drivers and coachmen really follow my advice and remedy the thing. But often the people are stubborn and do not care | to listen to what l say.
 "I have discovered that my painting helps ne good deal In my work. l took 1t one Sunday to the Peoples church at McVicker's. There was a long row of carriages with fine horses standing in front of the theatre. The horses were all checked up. l showed the picture to the coaehmen. They laughed and fired at me all kinds of silly remarks. Finally young couple drove up in a carriage to the theatre The horse was restless. showed my picture to the young gentle man and explained to him the reason of the horses reStleSsneSs. The young zen tleman thought he had fool from the insane asylum before him. The uni formed coachmen stood around grinning and awaiting developments.
 Well. l gave them practical lesson right there on the spot. unchecked the horse, and there he stood quietly and comfortably. showing no signs of being unmanageable. The check having been loosened the horse dropped his head. His neck assumed it's natural arched form He at once became an object of admira ton for all the drivers. The young gen tlenan thanked me for my advice, and the lady that was with him thought that my picture was the best scheme devised for the welfare of horses.
 ''lt is only few weeks since began to use my picture, and 1 find it much more eloquent than words. Some time in the near future 1 shall also have other pictures copied and painted I'll show them horse in its natural position; a pair of horses, one checked and another loose; a span of horses. easy and grace ful, because of their not being over checked; and pair of work horses with ? check reins on. The pictures will be more telling than words, and the crusade against the check rein will make rapid prOgreSS. ."-CAicago Tribune.
