The DayOf Judgment

M ost of the densely ignorant in
habitants of the earth believe the end
of the old "apple" will be accom-
pIished by fire. The forest fires have
caused intense alarm, not only among
beasts and birds, but among people
of all classes. The oldest men IN the
country can not remember such n
visitation as that which we have had
for over a month. Our old friend, }
w Edmonds, says that IN 1891, when
these fires ragged in Georgia, the
darkies all put on their nightgowns
in the daytime, over their clothes,
thinking that the day of judgment
was at hand, and it was best to have
on their ascension robes.'
The day of Judgment has been
heralded many times. In 1888 the
darkness of Eiebus settled over the
land at midday and the stars began
to fall. Not only the superstitions
darkies, but the Ignorant whites and
educated whites as we'll, went out
into the public highways tn pray for
salvation. But in all my experience
in the south never saw darby in a
nightgown. Edmonds must be dream
ing. The little ''shirt-tail niggers"
have advanced amazingly, but they
don't wear nightgowns. Only the
male Hottentot understands the art
of grading himself In nightie. as
for ascension robes,'' a sheet 10 the
correct style. In cases of panic over
the end of the world. people don't
think of nighties. If distractions to
come by fire what's the use of clothes
of any kind. New York Press.

Talk To Your Horse

Some man, unknown to the writer
hereof, has given to the world say
ing that sticks: "Talksto your COW as
you would to a lady" There is a
world of common sense IN 1t. There
is more; there is good sound religion
in it. What else IS it but the language
of the Bible applied to animals: "a
soft answer turneth away wrath. " A
pleasant word to horse in time of
trouble has prevented many dis
aster where the horse has learned that
pleasant words mean a guaranty that
danger from punishment is not immi-
nent.
One morning big, muscular groom
said to his employer: 81 can't exeI
else that horse any more. He will
bolt and run at anything he sees. -
The owner, a small man and ill at
the time, asked that the horse be
hooked up. Stepping into the Garri-
age he drove couple of miles. and
then asked the groom ito station
along the road such objects as the
horse was afraid of. This was done
and the horse was driven by them
quietly, back and forth, with loose
lines Shaping on his back. The
whole secret was in a voice that in
spired confidence. The man had been
frightened at everything he saw that
he supposed the horse would fear.
The fear went to the horse like al
electric message. Then came parish
