Good Things to Learn.

Learn to laugh A good laugh is bet
ter than medicine.
Learn how to tell story. A well
told story is as welcome as a sunbeam
in sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you cam
not see any good in this world, keep the
bad to yourself
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business. Very important point.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with u
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.

"Gold Standard is the unsoundest horse
that ever raced" remarked Mr.. Castle
as he opened the stall, then kneeling
on the straw showed the bad legs. He
was born with two bone spavins, and
another came to him latter, yet in spite
of it all he has been trotter. He is
getting to the age now that he will try
when he wants to and only then. On a
day he feels like racing he is as hard
as ever to beat, but on other days he
will break and act up fearfully. But
it's just like an old person getting
cranky, there's mighty little difference
between horse and man in some
things"
