building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected, Mr.. Sipes con-
trlbuting the greater portion Of the
fund, as before. This time the de-
mand was almost unanimous that 1t be
insured. but Mr.. Sipes again objected,
on the same ground.
''If 1t burns down again, brethren"
he said, "I'll agree to rebuild it my

Again he carried MS point In less
than month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and although
strenuous efforts We're made to save
1t, the loss was almost total.
There must be some reason for this
brethren said Brother Sipes. 81 am
going to find out what it Is"
Thereupon he employed a force Of
men to sink a shaft on the site of the
twice destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein of iron ore was found,
and the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to buy
land In another locality and build
again.

1t would be impossible to estimate
the suffering that horses undergo from
high checking and from the weight Of
metal brought to bear on their frail
pnderjaws.
The modern fashionable bit weighs
two and half pounds The weight of
that bit rests on the lower jaw, where
the bone Is the frailest In the whole

teeth to prevent the big, heavy bit from
bruising the tender jawbone. At that
point there Is only a tusk | have seen
that lone tooth so sore and tender from
where the heavy bits hit it that the
horse could hardly be brldled at ali.
Besides this two-and- -half-pound
bit, there Is another bit in the horses

fastened. The latest fashionable check
works on pulley. Then, with a mar
tingale fastened to the noseband and

the seat Of the carriage may have his
tongue hanging out without showing
bad form, still for the hot, prancing
horse to do 1t Is simply intolerable.
II you want to imagine something of
the agony Of the modern fashionable
carriage horse, go to any swell harness
store and lift the head stall with the
bits In place. And any horse will go
better with a plain snaffle bit. Its
weight IS one tenth that of the other,
and the horse obeys the rein quicker.
But the objection to the snatfle bit Is
that horse will act naturally; he will
look around and enjoy his work, If be
can. The bit doesn't hurt him, and he
does not appear excited.
But the trouble with drivers of "sty-
