Habits. ....... ..

How to Cure Them OF Some Rad
Habits.
A balky horse can be cured when
under the saddle by very simple
method. Turn him around and around
In his tr'.rks a few times and then
suddenly stralghten his head, and no
will willingly. and even gladly, go for
ward. This was the method Of the eel
ebrated John s. Rarey md has never
boen known to fall, says the Washing
ton Star. =.
Tho "tibbler" differs from tho baker.
inasmuch as his so called vice Is caus-
cd by congestion Of tho brain. Tho
horse thus affected is liable to bolt or
run away after ono Of these attacks
and Is a dangerous animal.
Rearing, although commonly termed
a vice, is often caused by too severe a
curb. Sometimes the rearing horse
loses his balance and falls backward.
1t is needless to say that the rider Ia
then lucky II he or she escapes without
serious II not fatal injury. When the
horse rears, loosen the relns and speak
to him in soothing tone, but If he per-
s!sts give him n shurp blow between
the cars with the butt Of the whip.
This will bring him down on all foura
with amazing quickness.
Kicking Is certainly vice. Some
| times, however, 1t Is caused by fear.
| In which case much can DO accom-
plished by gentle management. Ok
actly tho opposite treatment Of the
| rearing animal should be applied to
tho kicker. Hold his head up with
might and main, for the horse cannot
throw out both hind legs at once when
his head ls elevated. Kicking straps
are what the name implies. A strap
| fastened to the shafts over the horses
Group prevents kicking, but this is only
serviccablc when driven in single har-
ness. Shying is a dangerous fault. 1t
cannot properly be termed a vice. as IL
Is generally the result of defective
vision. Gentle treatment, soothing
words and patient persistence in nc
customing the animal to the dreaded
object will often effect cure. To lash
a horse becauae he SHES or is frlBht-
encd only aggravates the evil. He Will
associate the punishment with the
frightful object and will fear It more
and more each time he encounters 1t.

How to Care Iror ChiIdrcn's Hair.

Mothers should teach their girls to

brush every morning and every even

the foundation for future beautiful

children arc allowed to 90 to bed with
their hair in tousled condition, only
to have 1t jerked and tangled hastily
when school time comes round. Such
practice Is disastrous to the nerves
Of sensitive child and ruinous to the
hair. Never allow one child to use tho
others hairbrush.

Rumor Has It That Picleens Limo VIII he

Anderson, Dot. 6.--There is an.
other interesting railroad runner
afloat, and If the things that are
being whispered around ere true
there may be something doing for
Anderson before great while.
The rumor is that the Pickens
railroad, which runs from Easley
to Pickens court house, has re.
Gently changed ownership-or rath.
er that the bonds of the road have
passed into new hands-and that
the newcomers are seriously
thinking of extending the road
from Easley to Anderson.
The people between Easley and
this city are very anxious to secure
a railroad and inaugurated move-
ment looking to that end last sun,-
mer. Their first intention was to
build trolley road, and they of.
fered to furnish the rights of way
and subscribe literally to the stock
of the company to build it.
Just what is back Of the talk
that is now floating around is not
fully known here, but some people
who have been interested IN the
Easley Anderson road from it's in
ceptlon seen very hopeful that
something is about to happen.
A meeting of some of those inter-
ested was held at Piercstown this
week, aud it is said that another
meeting will lie held in this city
next Thursday afternoon.
The bonds Of tho Pickens road,
1t is said, are now owned by Bos.
ton capitalists, and it is said they
have intimated that they would
conslder favorably a proposition
to furnish more money for the pur.
pose of extending the road if a
favorable proposition is made tc
them. The local people are now
moving with a view to getting such
a propagation IN shape.

FULTON MEMORIAL.
spe cIal Day to be Set Aside at James-
town Exposition In Honor of tho
Inventor Of tho Steamboat.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 1O.-Bellev-
ing that it is especially appropriate
that the name of Robert Fulton |
should be honored at the James,
town Ter. tennial Exposition to |
be held at Hampton Roads near
Norfolk in 1907, the authorities Of
that great celebration have decided |
to set aside day to be known as
Robert Fulton Day. The New
York state commissioners have ap-
pointed Hugh Gordon Miller, now
of New York, but formerly of this
state, representative to arrange
with the authorities for the special
honors which will be paid to the
memory of Robert Fulton at the
Exposition. He will appoint such
committees as may be necessary.
A movement is now on foot in
New York city to have a gigantic
monument erected in some part Of
tho city commemmorating Fulton's
name. 1t is proposed to build this
memorial at a cost of more than
$500, 900. It will serve not only
as a monument to the man who in
t. oduced steam navigation but also
az q tomb. Cornelius Vanderbilt
is the president and Mark Twain
the first vlce.president of the asso-
citation which has been organized
to erect the monument.
Those at the head of the moye-
mnet desire to raise the money
necessary to erect the monument
by public subscription aud are
making vigorous efforts to popu-
larise the movement. The officiul
name Of the organization is the
Fulton Monument Association and
it has it's headquarters in Park
Row, New York. A number of
designs bnve been submitted to the
association for it's approval. The
one which has 80 far secured most
approval from the committee was
submitted by the sculptor, Leopold
Bracony, and shows on its base in
bass relief the industries that have
developed through the help Of
steam navigation. 1t further sym-
bolizes the manner in which the
8 teamboat has brought together
the tour corners Of the earth. The
monument is surmounted by 9
statute of Robert Fulton contem
plating a model Of his first steam
boat, the Clermont' 1t is proposed
to mount the statute on a hollow
haft, inside Of which will be :
winding stair.
Among the famous persons aseo
