doctor and have our teeth filled so that
we can.
When you find our blankets blown
off in cold weather, please put them on
again and tuck them under the har-
ness.
Don't keep twitching the reins when
you drive us. You wouldn't like any
body twitching the reins all the time
if the bit were in your mouth.
Don't over-drive US, and then on the
other hand don't let US stand in the
stable all day without exercise. d:
Horses and dogs need exercise every
day, and can't be we'll without it.
You wouldn't like to be tiled up in q
stall all day and not permitted to 60
out.
Please to make it rule that you
will never ride in carriage drawn by
horse with mutilated tail, or poor
looking horse, when you can possibly
help it, and always look at the check
rein. Always select the carriage that
has the best looking horse and tell the
drivers why you do it.
Then when we get run down, we
should like to be sent off in the coun-
try to take little vacation and pick
Jup.
If all the boys and girls, every time
they see poor, miserable-looking
horse, would simply say so the driver
could hear them, four words, l pity
that horse, it would be great benefit
to US.
But above all things, kindly remem-
ber that you can do us world of good
by simply talking to us kindly, telling
us we are good fellows and all that.
All we horses and dogs and birds
and all dumb animals know the tone
of your voices, and we like to be talked
to kindly just as well as you do.
You can make us very happy by
only talking to us kindly.
And when it becomes necessary that
we should die, don't let anybody try
to kill us that don't know how, but
send us to our society for the preven-
tation of the cruelty to animals, that
employs skillfu men to kill all horses
and dogs and cats humanely, and let
them send man to kill us mercifully,
without fore-knowldege and without
pain. Geo. Il. Angel.

Using Ones Leisure,

Hamilton Mabie, in Success.
II IL the use OF the leisure hour that equips
a man TO use wisely what the working hours
bring to him. The working honr develops his
character, II the principles are good, while
they increase his fortune, but they do not
give him broad Views Of life, knowledge and
love of the best things. These are the gifts
and fruits of the leisure hours. for the leisure
hours constitute mans educational oppor.
tunities No man who has few hours every
week which can be used as he pleases should
remain uneducated. Education is not mat
ter of schools, colleges and universities; there
are valuable instru ments and aids TO educa-
ton, but they are not so essential that the
man who cannot command their privileges
needs remain uneducated. Some men are
letter educated ont OF college than In II. All
highly educated men, no matter how liberal
their opportunities may have been, are sci T.
educated. The school and the college teach
men bow 10 study and what tools 10 use, but
when they have done with the school and the
college. they are only in the beginning Of
education.

Taking off His Hat to Nature.

Hamilton w. Mabie repeats story
which shows how one man, at least,
was affected by the beauty ofnature.
One day in the early spring Scotch
man was walking along the side of a
mountain in Skye, when he came to
a hut in which lived an old man he
had known great many years. He
saw the old man with his head bowed,
and his bonnet in his hand. He came
up and said to him after a bit: II
did not speak to you, Sandy, because
/ thought you might be at your pray
ers."
"Well, not exactly that" said the
old man, but | will tell you what l
was doing. Every morning for forty
years have taken off my bonnet here
to the beauty of the world"
Beauty, wherever it is seen, is a re-
Election Of Gods face, the shining of
heavenly light down upon the earth.
Wherever we come upon it, it should
touch our hearts with a spirit OF rever-
emce. God is near; we are standing in
the light of his countenance.

What u Horse Would Say If he Could

Please to take off these close-titting
blinds and give me chance TO use my
eyes like other folks. And then,
here's this check.rein. 1t pulls my
head away up in the air. It hurts my
mouth. 1t sometimes gives me a
| throat disease.
can't see the road so we'll and am
likely to stumble.
can't draw near 80 much as
could with my head down, and I
can't draw near so easy. A tight
check-rein puts me in constant pain.
Please to kindly take off this check
rein or lengthen it out so that l can
put my head down where [ want to
when am going up hill.
And then, there's this matter OF
overlooking.
If I generally draw kindly, but
some day give out and stop, and tell
you as plainly as can that you have
put on too much load, it isn't right to
20 to beating and swearing at me.
1t is much kinder and better to talk
kindly and throw off part of the load
or get another horse, or if the wheel is
in hole ask the people near to take
hold and push.
We horses can't tell our feelings as
you can. Sometimes we are dizzy
sometimes sick.
Sometimes the hostler drives us half
the night, and then turns us out for
days work next morning.
Sometimes he don't get up in time to
give us our break kfast-sometlmes he
forgets to water us.
And then we get old and feeble just
rs men do, and the older we grow, if
we have worked faithfully, the more
kindly we ought to be treated, and it
isn't right when we have given you a
lifetime of faithful service to sell us off
in our old aye for a small sum into the
hands of hard masters.
Two men or boys of the same size
can't do the same work, neither can
two horses.
We ought to have shade in summer,
warm stables and blankets in winter.
Our stOmachs are small and we
ought to be fed and watered often.
We are glad to get slice of bread,
a piece of apple, and dipper of wa
ter.
Always feed us from the palm OF
your hand so that we may not bite
your fingers.
When you put us in strange stables
never trust the hOstler to give us the
oats, but go out and see that he does 1t,
and stay Ey us till we eat them, and
see that he don't forget to water us.
Never put the bits into our mouths
on a cold day until you have llrst
warmed them, so that they won't take
the skin off our tongues and make 1t
painful to eat. You wouldn't like TO
have frosty iron bits put in your
mouth on 4 cold day. ..
Always warm our bits in cold
weather, and when from old aye we
can't chew, please take us to horse

BIBLE SOCIETY.
important Meeting this Evening nj
the Presbyterian Church.

Al its last meeting the Abbeville District
Bible society invited the congregations OF Inc
CITY OF Abbevlle to meet in tho Presbyte terlap
church on Wednesday night. August ., and
to form Bible Society, branch OF the DIS
trIct Society. The district society Is an aux
Hilary of the American Bible Society, was
organized lS23 by lovers of the Bible from all
sections OF the county, then district. Every
wear siuce its organization 1t has reInlttf '
funds TO the American Bible Society TO assist
in the circulation Of the Holy Scriptures at
home and abroad.
II was early conceived that the efficiency OF
the Society would be augmented by the or
ganizatlon OF branch societies IN every sec,
ton OF the County, which should interest all
persons In their vicinity In the cause, sollclt
mem bers and donations and keep deposl
tory of Bibles and Testamentr from which the
destitution In their section aid he supplied.
There nre now seven branch societies In this
county and Greenwood county which are
actively cooperating with the Dstrlct Socle
ty Each year on the last Wednesday of July
the District Society holds It's meeting al Ao-
beville. The branch societies send delegates
TO the meeting and all funds they have col
IL cted from contributions by friends and
members and from sale Of books are paid into
the Treasury of the District Society. The
District Society, after paying lts expenses
either as a donation to assist in the general
distribution OF the Holy Scriptures, or to pur-
chase Books for distribution In our own
county, all such funds deposited Without
Abbbville village has never had a
local or branch society. Such OF It's church
members as felt sufficient interest In the
Cause have become members OF the District
society by paying the annual dues OF s. 10 to
that Society. Very few have felt sufficient
interest in that society to attend Its meetings.
and 1t was thought that. If Abbeville would
organize a Bible Society OF It's own that more
OF the lovers of the Bible would unite In the
effort to extend its circulation by becoming
members ola local society and by contribut-
Ing annually a small amount, say not ex-
ceedIng fifty cents, TO Its Treasury. Hence
the invitation to the meeting on Wednesday,
August s. at $3.50 p. m. All persons are sim
cerey invited to un lite In the formation o: the
Local Bible Society. The ladies as we'll as
the gentlemen are earnestly invited TO join
the Society. Old and young whether church
members or not will be gladly and cordially
received into It's membership. All members
of the branch societies can attend the annual
meetings of the District Society without pay.

Packing for Market.

Growing early fruits and vegetables
for distant markets is long since de
monstrated success in the South. But
after the growing comes the market
ing. That is of vital Importance, and
experience has taught wide-awake
growers to place themselves in the
position of the buyers, thus insuring
full weight and the best condition for
their shipments. The business is
bound to grow, but it will grow the
more rapidly and the more steadily
just in SO far as packages shall meet
the eXigencies in transportation and
the goods reach the market in prime
condition.

BIG STRIKE PROBABLE.
Dredgemen May Tie Up Work on
Great Lakes.

Chicago. April IA strike OF 600
Chicago dredgemen yesterday brought
out the fact that all the great lakes
dredging firms had banded together in
a protective association. The strike
was declared against the Chicago
contractors because of an effort to cut
the wages of the men on Out-of-town
contracts % per cent. below the Chi
cago scale. 1t now threatens TO
spread all over the great lakes, in
volving all big firms comprising the
protective association. The strike
has already tied up nearly 100000
worth of work at many points on Lake
Michigan. Members of the associa-
ton held a conference here yesterday,
but no overtures were made to the
strikers.
