Shed Your Horns.
Bnt many Of you have turned your back
ON that supply and confront your trouble,
and VI oysn ,uSk4
stances, asd you arc fighting society, and
you are fighting pursuing world, and
troubles, instead Of driving you into;the
COOL lake Of HEAVENLY comfort, have made
you stop and turn around and lower your
head, and 1t is simply antler against
tooth. do not blame you. Probably I'M
der lhe same circumstance would have
done worse. But you are all wrong. You
need to do as the reindeer does In February
and MasOh-it sheds It's horns. The rab-
binical writer's allude to this resignation Of
antlers by the stag when they say of a man
who ventures his money In risky enter
prises he has Anng 1t on the stag's horns,
and proyerb In the far east tails man
who has foolishly lost his fortune to 20
and find where the dear sheds her horns.
My brother, quit the antagonism of your
circumstances, quit missnthrophy, quilt
complaint, quit pitching into your pnr.
suers; be a. wise as next spring will be
all the deer Of the Adirondacks Shed
your horns.
But very many of you who are wronged
Of the world-and II in any assembly be-
tween here and Golden Gate, San Fran
disco, 1t were asked that all those that
had been so&aetimes badly treated should
raise both their hands and full response
should be/made, there would be twIoe as
many hands lifted az persons press0t-I
say many Of you would declare, 1--WE have
always done the best we could and tried
to be Useful, and why we should become
the victims of malignment or invalidism
or mishap Is inscrutable." Why, do you
know the finer deer and the more ele-
giant Its proportions and the more beauti-
full Its bearing tie more anxious the hunt
ers and the hounds are to capture itP Had
the roebuck q ragged fur and broken hoofs
and an obliterated eye and limping gait
the hunters would have said, "Pshaw,
don't let us waste our ammunition on q
sick deer" And the hounds would have
given few shifts Of the scent, and then
darted of in another direction for better
game. But when they see deer with ant
lers lifted In mighty challenge to earth
and sky, and the sleek hide looks as II it
had been smoothed by invisible hands,
and the fat sides inolose the richest pas
ture that could be nibbled from the banks
Of rills SO clear they seem to have dropped
out Of heaven, and the stamp Of Its foot !
defies the jack shooting lantern and the
rifle, the horn and tho hound, that deer
they will have IL they must needs break
their neck In the rapids. So If there were
no noble stuff In your make up, If you
were bifurcated nothing, II you were
90 undisturbed, but tho fact that the
whole pack Is in full cry after you Is proof
positive that you are splendid game and
worth capturing. Therefore sarcasm draws
On you its finest bead" Therefore the
world goes cunning for you with its best
Maynard breechloader. Highest compli-
ment Is it to your talent, or your virtue,
or your usefulness. You will be assailed
IN proportion to your great achievements
The bost and the mightiest being the
world ever saw had set after him all the
hounds, terrestrial and diabolio. and they
apped his blood after the Calvaresn mas
'acre. Tho World paid nothing to its Re-
leemer but bramble, four spikes and
,ross Many who have done their best to
make the world better have had such a
rough time Of 1t that all their pleasure IL

REFLEX For Trouble.
Yes, for some people in this world there
GEMS no let up. They are pursued from
Qpth TO manhood and from manhood into
Id age. Very distinguished are Lord
tafford's hounds, tho Earl Of Yarbor-
ughs hounds and the Duke Of Rutland's
ounds and Queen Victoria pays SS, 500
Or year to her master Of buckhounds.
Tut all of them put together do not equal
number or speed or power to hunt down
10 great kennel Of hounds Of which sin
nd trouble are owner and master.
But what Is relief for all this pursuit
