Hints About Driving

When driving, you must watch
the road. Turn out for stones, SO
that the horse shall not stumble
nor the wheels j DIT over them; avoid
the mudboles and places where
the going is bad; let the horse
slackeD speed when tle road be-
comes heavy, and if you want 20
make up time do 1t where the
ground slightly descepds.
It's a common mistake to think
that a horse can haul carriage
easily on the level. Ga such Il
road he has to be pulling every
moment; there is no rest. Whereas
when the road now rises and now
falls the weight Is taken of him at
times, and lie has a chance to re.
cover bis wind and to rest his mus.
Giles. As between a level road in
a valley aud an up and down road
over the hills, the latter Is by far
the easier fJr a horse 10 travel.
When you come to a long level
stretch, let your horse walk a bit
in the middle of it..
Almost everybody knows that
for the first few miles after coming
out of the stable horse should he
driven slowly, and especially if he
has Just been fed. On a journey it
is of the utmost importance to Oh
serve this rule. B9 careful, how
eyer, not to check a young nag too
quickly when lie comes fresh cut
OF the stable. Gave him his head ,
talk to him soothlngly, and present
IL he will come down to moderate
pace. If you pull him up at once,
yoa vex him extremely, so much
so that he is not unlikely to kick

She Will Learn.

A touching story is told Of a
young bride in New York, who
hesltated to go on with the cere-
mony because she did not wish to
VOW obedience to her husband.
The girl was very yO1ug and fool
ish, or she would have known that
no woman nowadays considers
the obedience clause in the cere
mony as anything moro than an
idle an imperative firm. 1t was
only when two or three married
women placed the matter before
her in the proper light that sht
consented to allow the service to
proceed. In six months she will

IF You Burn Yourself.

The pain from slight burns Is
very great. An excellent applica-
ton is a thick paste Of common
baking soda moistened with water,
spread on a piece of linen or cot
ton, and bound on the part, writes
Elizabeth Robinson Scovii in an
article on "What to Do in Emer-
gencies" in the March Ladies
Home Journal. This can lie kept
wet by squeezing water on it from
a sponge or cloth until the smart

A thick coating Of starch can be
used instead of the soda, or wheat

pRorEorBp BY HIS DOGS.

PROTECTED BY HIS DOGS.
The most noted mountaineer in
West Virginia and perhaps in
Kentucky and North Carolina, Jim
Day, has at last been captured
The government officers have been
trying to arrest Day for over 10
years, but failed on every occasion.
Day, who is a full, muscular,
shrewd looking fellow, has been
running Illicit stills for ocer 10
years. During this time lie had
someti mes as many as dozen stills
running at one time.
The stills were located in the
depths ofthe primitive forests or IN
caves in the mountain sides a long
distance from roadways aud trails
TIE stills are always located near
some prominent height or at a
p5int from which a guard or spy,
constantly on the alert, could over
look all approaches and advise his
companions of the vicinity OF Suspl'
cious locking stranger Time and
again revenue officers have at
temped to waylay ard ambush
Day. They found roads and trails
over which it was known he would
be forced to travel, and they then
placed squads in ambush, but al,
though Day had been seen or traced
along the road be always slipped
through their fingers without a
scratch.
! At last the secret of his success
in evading the officers became
known. Day had a number OF
thoroughbred dogs which be had
trained to scent out revenue officers
or strangers and to notify linn OF
their presence long before they
could come in sight. When travel
ing over the routes or trails leading
to and from any of his stills, two
of Days dogs always trotted along
in front several hundred yards,
taking opposite sides OF the road
Two would fall back in tue rear,
and one would advance like a sccC
on each side.
In case of an ambuscade the dogs
in front would scent the presence
of the deputy marshals before they
got within a hundred yards of
them. They would return quickly
to their master and inform him 0v
.helr actions of tue presence Of the
enemy. Day would then take to
woods to the right or left, with a
dog iu advance, and pass around
an am 5uscade without beng seen.
In case pursuers should come up
behind, Days dogs, which had been
trailing along, would quickly hear
or scent them and then would
hurry forward to their master, who,
knowing by their actions how close
the enemy was, could easily evade
them.-.St. Louis Republic.
