Getting the Most Out of the Horse,

The art of getting the most out of
horse flesh on the line of march is one
which needs study and practice to every
whit the same extent as do race riding
or the haute ecole, and therefore feats
of endurance should form part of an Of
ficer's education as well as those upon
the tan or between the flags.
To cover many miles with success a
man must, first of all, study his own
condition. and while he makes his
charger fit must not forget TO render
himself so too. He should carefully
watch how his horse takes its food and
vary the amount of it, the time of feed
ing and the nature of forage, so as to
insure that the animal derives the max
imum amount of benefit from the nour-
ishment it takes.
Then he should endeavor by expert
ment to discover the pace which suits
its conformation best and the most ju-
dicious manner of varying it, so us to
afford relief to the muscles and yet get
over the ground.
The particular pace that best suits the
animal having been arrived at, it should
be trained to go at that pace evenly and
methodically and with the regularity of
a machine. And care should be taken
never to stretch the bow TO the utmost.

CAN STILL LOVE.

But life has taught me stcrner things;

'Tis sweeter music with the mournful cadence
Than was the careless, joyful strain.

And thought love was forever dead to the;
My life had early lost loves glorious sunlight
And never iore my heart could happy be.
But time has nught me many tender truths
That life can never wholly be unblest.

Because loved you, dear, the best.
The tender love that bears 80 much for me

My love for you, dear one, has weaker grown
My heart less stanch and leal

Yet, like the bird whose mate Is gone,
still can find tender JOY In loving,

Unconscious Feminine Cruelty.

fare on Broadway car at Cortlandt

The car was packed, the place just two
miles away and the woman New

get on and off, half hundred stops were
to be made and something like a half to
three-quarters of an hour would be con.
sumed before reaching Thirteenth street.

of more than ordinary intelligence in
her face and from her easy self assur.

take care of herself, expected the con.
ductor to remember her request and tc
put her off at the right street.

upon to endure every hour in the day.
