If you viii! stop to notice the char
acter Of the bits used on the horses
you will get another view Of the cruei-
ty done to our faithful servants. And
X you could make an examination Of
these bits and headgear, you would be
more astonished than ever.
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
underjaws.
The modern fashionable bit weighs
two and a half pounds. The weight of
that bit rests on the lower jaw, where
the bone is the frailest In the whole
anatomy of the horse. There are no
teeth to prevent the big, heavy bit from
bruising the tender jawbone At that
point there Is only tusk. l have seen
that lone tooth so sore and tender from
where the heavy bits hit it that the
horse could hardly be bridled at ALL
Besides this two-and-a half-pound
bit, there is another bit in the horses
mouth. one to which the checkrein is
fastened. The latest fashionable check
works on pulley. Then, with a mar
tingale fastened to the noseband and
bellyband, the horse can't even toss his
head higher, if it was physical posi-
bility. to get the temporary rest that
that would afford him.
But we seem to be gettins worse 10

This last effort of fashion, of course
is to keep the horses tongue from loll-

tongue out to try some change to re-

no insurance. In a few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected, Mr.. Sipes con-
tributing 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
SELF
Again he carried his point. In less
than a month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and although
strenuous efforts were made to save
it, the loss was almost total
There must be some reason for this,
brethren" said Brother Sipes. II 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.

Sipes, "it pays to trust the Lord. He's

value In a tour OF the United States.
Though our cities lack the historic in
terest that attaches to those of the old
world, they present the most striking
evidence OF a wonderful progress in
which the whole country shares When
they are revisited after an interval of
ten or even of five years the changes
tell not only of a rapid growth but OF
very substantial gains. This is spe-
cially notable in the cities Of the wild
West, which have nothing about them
to suggest wildness. They abound in
rostly and handsome residences that
would excite admiration anywhere,
and have great office buildings and de-
partment stores that would do credit
to Chicago, New York or the capitals
Of Europe The supply Of fine bust
ness blocks seems, indeed, at first
glance to be out of proportion to the
needs of the inhabitants, but the build
Ing keeps going on to prove that the

There is no question that the guam
tiV of sleep required steadily dfmin-
ishes from infancy to old age This is
q rather interesting exception to the
general rule that, as in so many mat
tiers, old age returns to the needs Of
infancy. AS regards sleep. old age
is more remote in its needs from in
fancy than is any other period of life.
If elderly people obtain good sleep dur
ing the first few hours, and if they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
so many OF us curiously lose, their
case IS not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours of
sleep, by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu-
lar phrase beauty sleep is we'll war
ranted. 1t is the early (the deepest)
hours Of sleep that make for health
and beauty.

the seat Of the carriage may have his
tongue hanging out without showing
bad form, still for the hot, prancing
horse to do it is simply intolerable!
If 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 snaff1e bit. It's
weight is one-tenth that Of the other,
and the horse obeys the rein quicker.
But the objection to the snat1e bit Is
that horse will act naturally; he will
look around and enjoy his work, II he
can. The bit doesn't hurt him, and he
does not appear excited.
But the trouble with drivers Of "sty-
lish" horses is that they do not under
stand how these things decreed by
fashion torture the horses. I believe
I know human beings as well as I
know horses, though men and women
are the harder to understand. l have
no doubt If this matter could be seen
in its proper light we would not be
content to ride behind horses with
manned tails and half broken jaws to
attract attention without hiring man
with a megaphone. Mankind Is vain,
but not Intentionally cruel.-Homer
