1t is wonderfully comforting to under
stand that they are inevitable while the
root-making for second growth goes on.
Sometimes the root-making has curious
physical effects. Women long married who
have never born children often become
mothers round about forty. A case in point
is that of Lily, Duchess of Marlborough,
sometimes Mrs. Hammersley, who at ris-
ing forty bore son and heir to her third
husband, Lord William Beresford and

nerves when they need nothing but pa
tience. Thus they lay the foundation of
sorrow as long as the rest of their lives.
Thus, too, they often abridge the lives

been through a long life to drive horses
of every sort, from The broncho to the
thoroughbred laid down this rule: when

dry, no amount of driving will hurt him."
He went on to explain that at the begin

moderate pace, will bring out The sweat
on your team. The second mile at the
same speed will dry the first sweat. At
about the fourth mile the second sweat
comes out, and will not dry before the end
OF the seventh. After that you may push
your beasts to the very top of their speed
