No people on earth have greater nat
ural facilities for beautifying theil
homes than the people of the South
So many indigenous grasses, 90 many
native towering plants, so many
beautiful shade trees, such a long
growing season, all combine to make
the task of embellisbing the home
with natures rarest gifts comparative
ly easy. And there is great profit liz
such work. A home without flowers
or grass or shade or brooks is home
without inspiring attractions. It il
too often a home without happiness
and without profit. The exhuberance
of spirits that finds its outflow in the
planting of shrubs and flowers and the
adornment of same reveals sense fol
all that is beautiful in life and elevated
in morals. The employment of oul
leisure hours show the bent of our in
clinations. Where there are no shade
trees, no parterres of flowers. NO pleas
ure grounds with swings and comfort
able seats, no magazines or newspa
pers to relieve toll or make leisure
hours profitable, what can we expect
the boys on the farm to do? Fol
their pleasures they too often visit the
country store, indulge in coarse jokes
and chaffering nonsense, debase their
sense of duty and diminish every day
their mental horizon and lower their
moral plane.

What a Horse Would Say If Inc COul,

What a Horse Would Say If he Could
Please to take off these close-fitting
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. 1t 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 I can
put my head down where l want to
when am going up hill.
And then, there's this matter OF
overlooking.
If T generally draw kindly, but
some day give out and stop, and tell
you as plainly as l can that you have
put on too much load, it isn't right to
90 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 a
days work next morning.
Sometimes he don't get up in time to
give US our break kfast-sometimes he
forgets to water US.
And then we get old and feeble Just
as 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 age for 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 summe er,
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 it,
and stay by us till we eat them, and
see that he don't forget to water us.
Never put the bits into our mouths
on cold day until you have first
warmed them, so that they won't take
the skin off our tongues and make il
painful to eat. You wouldn't like to
have frosty iron bits put in your
mouth on a cold day.
Always = warm our bits in cold
weather, and when from old age we
can't chew, please take us to horse
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 Oh the
other hand don't let us stand in the
stable all day without exercise.
Horses and dogs need exercise every
day, and can't be we'll without it.
You wouldn't like to he tiled up in a
stall all day and not permitted to 60
out.

dissatisfied, and he went to the mer-

afraid that we would carry him of to
the circus"
at is really strange" another one
added.
Then they all sat down and watched
the elephant for little while and talk-
cd about what would be the best thing
for them to do about him.
''I'll tell you what think" finally
said one Of the men; 'this elephant .B
already circus elephant and he would
not run away from us If he couid.
The best thing to do is to leave him
here and go on after the others. When
we have caught them we can come
back and get him."
So they all went offto catch the other

had they got out Of sight when MI.
