Attempted Burglary.
Mason. Monday May

Mason, Monday May 9th,
An attempt was made at an
early hour this morning to burg
larize the Mason State Bank at
Mason. The burglars were
frightened away however by the
occupants of the building, with
out even having gained an en-
trance.
The rooms over the bank are
occupied by D. w. Kuhn. Henry
and O. M. Axnes. At about 2
O'Clock, Mr.. Kuhn was awakened
by the noise made by the burg
lar trying to effect an entrance
thru window i'm mediately oun-
der his room and surmising
what was up, Immediately
aroused the other occupants.
The burglar in taking out the
window light, bungled in some
manner and dropped it on the
ground outside, then realizing
that an alarm had been made took
to his heels. The night was quite
dark and objects could not be
distinguished at any great dis
tance. hence pursuit was useless.
Only one of the burglars was
seen but it is thought that there
was at least one accomplice.
The Mason State Bank is in
sured against robbery hold.ups
or burglary of any kind with the
Maryland Casualty Co., and this
Company offers a standing re-
ward of One Hundred Dollars
for the apprehension and con-
viction of each one of the per-
sons burglarizing or robbing the
bank or attempting to do so.

the cattle to go from one pasture to the
other at will is credited by an eX
change to a writer in the Farmer. AS
shown in the sketch, the opening in
the fence may be as wide as desired.
Two by twelve inch plank are nailed
to the fence posts about four or six
inches from the ground, and two extra
posts are set out from the fence about
a foot The plank is nailed to the in
side of these posts, and this plank
should be about four feet longer than
the one fastened to the fence so as to
go by the opening at each end about
two feet. The hogs cannot jump the
two planks, and small hogs that go
between them cannot jump over, as
they are lengthwise Of the opening.
The cattle will readily step over. The
same plan may be used for sheep, only
three planks may be necessary to re-
tain them, although the writer uses
only two for them also.

CARRIAGE HORSES.
Development Of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.

Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.
Since the Inauguration of work for
the development from American ma
terial of a carriage horse which would
breed true to type has come move
ment to establish classes for such
horses at the national and state fairs.
The sentiment for This has grown rap
IDLY during the past year, and such
classes have been added to the pre-
MUM lists of fairs in Iowa and Ken
lucky, states from which large num-
bers Of American carriage horses are
marketed. On their own initiative the
Iowa state fair held at Des Moines.
the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
Ky, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season of 1907.
A uniform classification has been
made, possible by cooperative ar
rangement between the national bu-
reau of animal industry and the Ameri-
can Association Of Trotting Horse
Breeders. The classification was work
ed out by the committee on heavy har-
ness horses of the association.
A cordial reception of the classical
ton by the horse press and managers
of fairs is reported. Among the earli-
est to ADOPT the classification for 1907
were the interstate fair held in Kan
sas City and the Kansas state fair
held in Hutchinson.
Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
The adoption Of the classification by
state fairs is especially urged by those
Interested in it for the reason that the
state fairs are in the closest touch
with farmers, that the farmers are the
breeders of most of the carriage horses
sold on the American markets and that
the value Of the American horse for
carriage purposes is rarely appreciated
by the farmers who breed them. Hun
dreds of horses are sold annually by
farmers at really insignificant prices
which after some months Of finishing
and handling are sold as carriage
horses at prices up into the thousands.
Furthermore, there Is continual sale
Of stations to supply this trade. These
horses are usually of only moderate
value as speed producers, but are Of
excellent carriage type. If kept entire
and properly mated they could be Of
irestimable value as foundation sireS
Of the American carriage horse.
When the farmers appreciate the in
trinsic value Of the native light horse
for carriage purposes and recognize
the worth of the stallion with good
conformation and quality. but only
moderate speed, as a sire OF carriage
horses the problem Of fixing the type
will be one of early solution.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Don't Develop the Mind at the Expense
of the Body.

OF Lne 6ooy.
The man or woman who woulu train
the mental faculties without ans refer

or she may be engaged. The mind
may be ever so we'll trained and stored
with knowledge Of the books, bat un

of pain that serves as a limitation upo.i

grow up into manhood or wonanhood
with an inferior education than with
q better education of the mind and o

The fact that so many men in this
country who have succeeded in bust
ness and in professional and public
life have been the sons of farmers,
whose early life has been spent out OF
doors, has been subject Of remark.
May 1t not be accounted for on the
ground that in their boyhood their

which to do the work they have so
successfully performed? This is not

Origin of Kissing the Book.

The exact origin of kissing the
book in English courts, though
modern, is obscure. 1t is not, l
should say, a matter of legal obliga-
ton, but seems to be merely GUS
tom dating from the middle or end
of the eighteenth century. If wit
ness claims to follow the law accord
ing to Coke and to take his "cor-
poral oath" by touching the book,
who shall refuse him his right?
The kissing" act seems akin in
deed to what the Clancy" call some
what unpleasantly saliva custom,
which in modern life exists in very
few forms, though many Of the low
er classes still spit on a coin for
luck.--Cornhill Magazine.
