GOOD HoRsEMANsHIP.
An Old Hunters Illustration Of the
Gift Of Hands"


Gift Of "Hands."
Your heart and your head keep up.
Your hands and your knees keep down.
Your knees keep close to your horses
sides
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit of advice for the would
be horseman Is quoted by a writer in
Baily's Magazine and declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
subject Of what he calls 'tthe divine
gift of hands" in riding. This old
hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces of twine to the back of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on it's
fore or hind legs, according to his own
position
Then when balanced he would keep
it, so to speak, on the swing by gently
manipulating the twine or reins he
held in his hand. A rough pull would.
Of course, have upset the chair one
way, whereas the fact of not checking
1t in its movements at all would have
caused a total loss of control over it
In the opposite direction.
"And that" when the exhibition was
concluded he would add, "is hands,
gentlemen"
Jogging to the covert, continues the
writer, you may notice one fine horse,
the owner fully equipped. throwing its
head up and down like pump handle,
another sweating profusely. although
the pace has not exceeded five miles
an hour since it left the stable, and
third snorting and prancing about all
over the place.
Why is this so? Simply because the
rider of neither of them is possessed
with the divine gift of hands"

"Spoken English Very Good"

From an advertisement of a Danish
hotel: "The hotels charmingly situa-
ton, surrounded of nice garden the
good cuisine, the kindly accommoda-
ton with moderate charge and good
conveyances, with easy occasion for
salmon and trout fishing, the ascend
ing of the surrounding mountains has
done this place well-known and praised
of all travellers. n. B.-The landlord
is spoken English very good" Lahore

a Riot of Color.

From the land of the MoroS soldier
writes: ga Moro matron passed our

Cab Hire

The price that one pays for a taxi
today is just little different from
what was paid for, say, the hire of a
sedan chair in days of old In the do
mestic accounts of Mistress Nell

Mrs. Knights and to Mrs. CasseIrs
and to Mrs. Churchill's and to Mrs.
Knights, shillings. For chairing you

OLD SETTLERS LEAVE,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Beauchamp For
Idaho.

James w. Beauchamp and wife, af-
ter residence of nearly half a CEN
tury in Taylor county, have decided to
cast their lot in another cline and
have departed with their ''Lares ct
penales" for Twin Falls, Idaho, where
they will make their future home
In 1858 Mr. Beauchamp's parents
settled in Ross township, and Jim,
who was then wee laddie, came with
them. 1t was there he grew to man
hood and was married to Miss Alice
January, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Huston January, who for years were
among the best known residents of
the county.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Beauchamp moved to Hopkins where
Mr.. Beauchamp engaged in the mer-
camille business. A few years later
they returned to Iowa, and Mr.. Beau
champ taught school for eight success
sive and successful terms. They then
removed to Bedford where they have
since made their home
NJ Beauchamp served as county au-
ditOr four years, '95, '96, '97 and '9S.
Later he was elected city clerk and
served in that capacity until he re-
signed to leave for the west.
Mr.. Beauchamp takes an active in
terest in church work, and better
citizen in every way no town ever
boasted of. He is not of the particu-
larly aggressive type, but he is always
active in promoting any enterprise
that might rebound to the welfare Of
the community, and loyal supporter
Of any movement for better govern
ment and cleaner citizenship. In bus
mess affairs his integrity is pro-
nounced, and his honesty incorrupt-
IDLE. Jim Beauchamp is man with
no round corners-he is square"
from the ground up, and his neighbors
in his new home will never regret CIV
ing him their entire confidence.
Mr.. Beauchamp's two sons, Ray and
Homer, have finished their college
course, and are now located at Twin
Falls. 1t is this fact that has induced
him to move there. He has purchased
a farm and stocked it, and it is the in
tention of himself and sons to rest"
on the farm. The Times joins le
gion of friends in wishing them pros

lican.
