Curing " Kicking Horsr.

A horse that kicks at any time Is a
nuisance, and particularly so if it is in
the habit OF kicking while in the
stable. The Illustration shows a con.
trivance which works well in breaking
up this bad habit. From the rafters of
the barn hang two wires that are thick
and heavy, and to the lower end Of
each attach long block of wood 1t
need not be round. as shown In the
cut but the corners should be
smoothed down so that the horse will
not be injured.
Place these blocks at about the
height where the hoofs would strike.

Poor Willie was so frightened he couldn't even say "Oh. my!" How he wished he had obeyed his mamma and gone into the house. They made him walk to the field. commanded him to lie down; as has head touched the ground the chickens began to pull his hair out; the calf twisted his arms and legs off; the horse picked him up with his teeth and was carrying him to the horse pond when

 ''Too late" said the bull Willie Miffin, you must be silent while we decide how you shall be put to death"
 "Oh, my!" was all Willie could say.
 Now, MT. Rooster" said the bull, what do you recommend as the best way to put this bad boy out of the world?'

 deemed that the child's fast should ex { ceed all previous feats of that kind. Th' old chief bade his son endure his penanc' like q man. At the expiration of twelve
 days he should have food and father'' blessing For eight days the boy bore tho
 tortures of hunger without a murmur auc the old father came to the tent ever,
 morning to look at and encourage his son On the ninth day Iadilla said:
 Father. my dreams forebode evil, May I not break my fast now and at some more favorable time begin new fast?'
 But old White Feather would cot hear of such a thing He told Iadiiia that he
 would by breaking his fast lose all the
 merit he had gained. The father wanted to
 see his son the star among the chieftains
 that go forth to battle. There are yet but
 three days. Be brave he said. The boy
 covered himself up more closely with the robes and suffered in silence for two days
 more. when he again begged for food. Then Whie Feather grew angry and said:
 Would you bring shame upon your old fether when his sun is setting in the west?'
 ''I will not shame my father said the gentle boy. but he knew that he was never to be a great warrior. His guardian spirit had told him that his love and obedience had gained for him a far greater reward that he should not only be happy him self but that he should be permitted to bring happiness to all who saw him or heard his voice..
 'The next morning when the old chief entered the tent with food. what was his to see his son daubing ver- million on his breast and over his shoul- ders as far back as he could reach. Be- fore the very eyes of he grief stricken father the boy was transformed into a beautiful robin redbreast and flew to the top of the lodge.
 Full of repentant agony. old White Feather implored his not to leave him. but Iadla told his father that the Great Spirit had wiled 1t otherwise: had. in fact. given the son of the great chieftain immu- nity from the cares and pains of human life. But said the boy. do not grieve, my father for the loss of the glory you had expected; because I shall always be happy and content. The free woods will be my home and furnish my food. but I shall al- ways be the friend of mankind I shall keep near their dwellings and cheer them with my songs. I shall try to bring the joy and lightness of heart to them that ex- perieDce myself
 Then the boy raised himself on his iit- tie bird feet, spread his bright wings and
 flew away to wonder tree, where he ear oiled forth his praise to the Creator of the universe. And that was the origin of the first robin redbreast"
