IN DESTITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES
Mrs. Chas. werden's story of Sickness,
Poverty and Hunger


Poverty and Hunger.
Another case of desntution was learned
of on the hill yesterday, and . TELEGRAN-
HrRALD reporter called at the house NO. 3
Collins place. TO learn the story OF the un-
fortunate family.
la response to tho reporters rap at the
door q womsn something past the meridian
OF life answered and invited him IN. She
told The following story:
My husband. Charles K. Worden, has
been sick tor three years. so that he has not
been able TO do anything for our support.
We lost every thing We had In Bay City,
where We formerly lived. We came to this
city because the doctors told my husband
that be must leave Bay City or he would
never get well. | have worked until am
entirely worn out and can work no longer.
have not gone to bed night for the past
three weeks without being hungry. The
neighhors have helped me all they were
able to. and last Monday they sent me q
basket of wood, q peck of potatoes and
have some bread, but my wood IS all gone
again and | have not q cent 10 buy more
vita.
have son who lived at home in the
Summer and helped rs. but he went away
in August. and | have jus. received letter
from bim, stating that he had his leg
broken when he first left home and has
earned nothing. | have . little daughter
who goes 10 school and another daughter
IS years old who had one of her hands

year ago. She is not able TO use her hand,
IL Is SO crippled. These | have to support
Mr.. Jennings. for whom my daug ghter
Cora works. sent Us = turkey Thanksgiving

The appearance of the room and Of the
uomsn's fearful face seemed to corroborate
her story.
She appears to De q woman of some
education and her whole appearance show
p.AiniV that she has seen better days. Ii
seems 70 be a case where those charitsby
disposed can find deserving sufferers VINO

The riiicu,ou3 loui tone OF voice IN
which orders are generally given to
horses, when the driver desires them o
start CT stop, has often bcca a subject
Of surprise to me. II horses were the
ncxt thIag to deaf there would be an
excuse for the shou,ings and yelIings so
generally INDUCED, but they arc not
and therefore need not bc spoken to
so loudly and harshly. TAe car OF
horse Is very sensitive. and save il cx-
ccpti9aal cases it is possible to co4trol
his motions by a command given in
moderate tone Of voice, just as readily,
and indeed Think moro readily, than
whore this rough, rude manner IS used.
A horse is a teachable animal, and IS
always affected with kind treatment.
The fact Of the matter is that If kind
words and gentle treatment throughout
were given these noble animals, instead
Of oaths, curses and blows, we should
fad their dociIity greatly increased,
Just imagine, il you will, a geeI whoa!
uttered il tone sufficiently loud to
be heard at half mile distanc &c,
and this command given to an
animal within five or ten feet Of the
party giving 1t. Wherein consists the
necessity for it, Why not resort to
more rational, and certainly to more
pleasing means? Why not speak in a
moderate tone2 This is all that is re-
quircd. The horse, if not deaf, can
hear it, and will as readily obey as if
given in laundering tones. One of the
Lest managed teams l have ever seen
the driver rarely ever spoke above his
ordinary tone of voice, and yet his
horses laid i1to their work with as
much willingness and apparently
| greater earnostness than If they had
! been driven to it 10y fearful shoutings.
Let me appeal to the common sense OF
readers. The horse is an intelligent
animal None of tho brute creation
moro readily appreciate kind words and
kind treatment. Such facts should be
considered by those who have the care
OF these animals. : Journal Of the

The impo:ta &c of clover outside its
valus ia the rotation is too generally
underestimate In fact its fertiliMng
quality il renewing the heart Of the
lad is not given its full place in the
relation of the soil. Where the crop is
natural to the soil, and 1t is generally
so on all arabic, well drained land,
clover is one Of the most important in
agriculture. 1t is no less valuable as a
forage crop, In fact it is the most val
liable of any single plant with which
the farm;r has to deal.
For young AID growing hogs it may
lie called inIispensable for pa turc, and
when SO used should be sown pretty
thick with 10 other grass. 1t supplies
every constituent of growth fairly WI,
thou III we do not advise its use as al
exclusive summer dit. Ia the west
especially, a reasonable amount of
soaked Indian corn should be allowed
with the clover d,ily to set the best re-
suits.
As q winter daily food, if properly
cured, and it pays to cure it il the
bet possible manner, the hay is
grecdiiy eaten by tn, swine. Ia this
case it used to be our practice to cut
it up and mix with the daily mu,h OF
the hogs. Il this way the full ru-
triment is conserved, and it also assists
in properly di>tcali1g the stomach.
When clear clover is used as p .sturo
for cattle, or even where clover con
