basin which papa brought to feed him
in.
s'Dear mer said mamma. THAT
lamb is nuisance! He is worse than
any goat"
..Let the child take comfort with
him." said papa And so Smut stayed,
and grew so fast and so pretty that
his mother was glad to make friends
with him.
One night in early winter Smut was
sleeping on his bed Of hay in the
corner of the stable. dreaming of the
green summer pastures, no doubt.
when light suddenly awakened him.
What bright light it was! 1t was
growing warmer, too. Perhaps sum-
mer was coming back. Old Dobbin
began to prance and snort, and gave
long, wild neigh of terror. while Brin-
die began to low mournfully. and Smut
winked at the strange light. What
was it all aboutp Perhaps Nellie
would know.
So he scrambled out from his warm
nest, pushed the door open, and ran to
the long shed. He scampered across
the shed, but alas, the kitchen door
was fast!
"B-a-a-a-a! B-a-a-a-a!" cried Smut
as he hunted away at the hard.
wooden door with his hard. woolly
head.
'.B-a-a-a-a-a-a!' he cried again. az
loud as he could, for the bright light
was shining out of doors now, and the
clouds of smoke made him sneeze.

Papa ran to open the she'd door, but
what he saw was almost worse than
burglars-it soas fire!
Then there was a great confusion
and shouting and running, while Smut
cuddled with Nellie in her own little
bed
Old Dobbin and Brindle were saved,
the house was saved, but the stable
burned down.
'.And we might have been burned in

.'He's darling. better'n-better'n

BELIEF IN SYMPATHY.
A Doctrine Duly Considered by the PLY

A Doctrine Duly Considered by the PLY
sicians of Past Centuries.
Ancient physicians duly considered
the doctrine of sympathy" in their
treatment of sick persons. Patients
suffering from smallpox were fed on
lentils and rapeseed, the grains of
these plants being supposed to be ''in
affinity with the marks of the disease.
To eat hare was likely to engender a
timid disposition. A diet of the brains
of birds was thought to strengthen the
memory. Some precious stones were
considered to be in mystic sympathy
with their wearers or donors. The
emerald lost its luster If the love OF its
giyer waxed cold. The carbunde
paled in similar manner if its wearer
fell into bad health. 1t was by q
knowledge of the doctrine OF ''sympa-

Hints About Horses.

1t costs more to keep poor horse
than it does to keep a good one.
Change the food for your horses
often enough to- make them relish it..
Improper feeding is the cause of
nine out of ten case of sickness among
horses.
Every time. you worry your horses
you shorten their lives and days of
usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horses
shoulders to gall So do poor, ill-tit-
ting collars.
The temperature of water for horses
is not so much of an object as. the
purity of it. While it is best to have
the water cool. it is more important to
have it free from all impurities.
Mares in foal should have exercise
and moderate work, and under no cir
cumstances should they be subjected to-
harsh treatment, nor should they ever
be allowed to- go where they would be
in danger of being frightened.
The horse which can pillow an acre
while another horse is blowing half an
acre, or that which can carry load of
passengers ten miles while another is
going five, independent of all consider
atoms of amusement, taste, or what is
called fancy, is absolutely worth twice
as much to the owner as the other.
Affection can not be pounded in.
Kind treatment insures the affection
of an animal. while rough treatment is
sure to cause its hatred.
It is alike dangerous to other horses
and men to spare the Hfe of CLAN
dered horse. Chambers is a highly con-
tagious, incurable disease, and, as a
rule fatal in the human subject.
When horses are suffering from the
bites of flies, or stings of other insects,
sponge the parts that can not be pro-
tected by nets with water, in which in
sect powder has been mixedt-a table,
spoonful to two gallons of water.
OF two colts similar in disposition
and sense, one may develop into a
steady and valuable family horse. while
the other may be vicious treacherous
and unsafe-all because of the differ
ence in the men handling them Mod
zeal Classics.

Highland County's Sons Abroad.

1t is with pleasure and pride that we
refer to the notice of speech made by
Capt. F. M. Posegate, OF st. Joseph, Mo-,
formerly Highland boy, and one who
wore the blue in days when men were
needed to stand up for their country's
rights. Again he is being heard from
when true effort is needed. The 81. 10.
seph Daily Herald has the following no.
tice:
"Capt. F. M. Posegate was next intro
duced, and for nearly two hours enter
tanned the people. His speech was con-
ceded on all hands to have been one OF
the very best ever delivered in Holt
county. No mere outline or synopsis
could do it justice. Capt. Posegate ought
to write it out at length and publish it.
The writer has heard many of the most
famous speakers Of the country, but
never from one of them clearer exposi.
tion of the principles OF the two great
parties. Even Democrats present ad.
mitted that it was candid and able
speech, and one worthy OF the man, and
fit to be delivered anywhere and before
any people. There is no mistake that
Capt. Posegate will be a power in the
coming campaign in Northwest Mis-
souri,"
