JUST PLAY.

Alice had Teddy bear and go
cert and doll-oh, many dolls!-
and long list of othe- playthings.
Poor, pale faced little Kitty looked
down longingly upon her from the
upper veranda.
II wish she would come up and
play with mel" sighed Kitty.
Perhaps she would if you asked
her." said Kitty's mother, encourag-
ingly
So Kitty leaned over the railing
and called down in very coaxing
voice:
Please come up here and play
with me. ]" Alice looked up.
Wont your" said Kitty. "I'm
lonesome. And I'm sick"
A frown puckered Alice's forehead
and cloud came over her face. She
shook her head
",Thered be so much to move. And
! like this place. I'd rather play by
myself"
"she's meant" said Kitty to her
mother.
And Bobby Hatfield, who had
stood on the steps of the lower porch
and heard, said to himself:
@She's mean! She ought to be
ashamed to behave like that to such
a poor weak little girl"
Bobby was going to the beach. He
had his pail and his spade. And be-
sides them he had hope. He hoped
that the same nice man that had
helped him build tower yesterday
would help him build him bigger
tower to-day.
Bobby put his foot down on the
next ssssp and there he stopped.
Pooh! What could I do?" he
asked himself. "What good would
spade and pail be for playthings
on an upper veranda?"
Then, anyway, Bobby knew that it
would spoil the hope entirely. OF
course boy would rather play with
a big brown man than a pale, thin
girl who was two whole months
younger than he was.
alice ought to CO." scowled Bob
by. "She could just as well as not. !"
Suddenly he started down the steps
on run. He went to the beach and
gathered shells. When his pail was
full, voice behind him said:
How is it, partner? Are we
building more towers to-day"
Very slowly Bobby turned around.
I His face was very sober.
"No, sir. Thank you. / guess /
can't he said, "I've got to play
with little girl that's sick"
Bobby ran back faster than ever.
He was afraid to stop. He wished
that he had told the brown man that
he was sorry; it was not very pSXte
not TO tell him that he was sorry.
But he was afraid to go back.
l can't help Alice's meanness, but
can help mine" he painted. "But
maybe couldn't if went back"
Here / ami" he announced, when
he had reached the upper porch.
Kitty Frightened rather uncertain
ly.
"I've come to play with you.' said
Bobby.
Then she frightened very certain

time. Kitty was fine, for a girl, at
playing games. Really. Bobby
thought that If she had been boy
she would have been fine at it.
When it was lunch time two men
stood in the hall and saw them. One
of the two was Kitty's father. The
other was the big brown man.
1T takes very lsmall things to
make children happy" said Kitty's
father
Sometimes" said the big brown
man; but he said it. without speak
ing, to himself. Sometimes 1t takes
unseltishness, and that is about the
largest thing there is"
The big brown man was going
boating that afternoon, and he want
ed company.-Sally Campbell, IN

King Christian of Denmark once

which moved him more than did most
matters of state Indeed, he declared
afterward that it was great matter
of state. I'VE must not alone build
for the coming generation" he said.
'but we must build the coming gener-
alton" The letter was in boyish
scrawl and read as follows:
Dear King-We are four boys at
Fiakkebjerb School and the master
whips us daily with a piece of steel
rope he found in the harbor. If he
doesn't stop there will be fire."
The name of the teacher being CIV

he took the next train for Flakkeb-
jerb and examined the class in the
teachers absence. The children, UNI
awed by the presence of the cruel
teacher, told their grievance to the
kindly old King. who promised inn
mediate relief closed the school for
the day and ordered that the boys be
treated to chocolate and cakes at his
expense. ito remember him by"
But he did more than that. On
returning to Copenhagen he dismissed
the cruel teacher without pension, at
the same time giving general warn
ing to all teachers to be chary of corr
poral punishment. IF boys cannot
be trained without cruel beatings, !"
this wise King said, then there must
be something the matter with those
who train them. The coming gener-
alton must not be made rufiians by
ruffianly teachers. New York Press.

SHUTE TO DEHORN CATTLE.
Without Fear of Injury to
Man or Beast.

James NJ Wilson, M. S. A, director
If the South Dakota Experiment sta
ton at Brookings, in response to re-
quest for a description of a cattle de-
aorning shute, answered as follows:
l have helped dehorn good many
cattle. My brother and l worked out
plans for a dehorning rack one day,
which were satisfactory. 1t was so
much of a success that other people
copied it. It held the cattle while we
cut off the horns and that was all we
desired. / cannot give you the exact
dimensions of this dehorning rack but
can give you about the dimensions.
1t was eight feet long and about two
feet six inches wide inside. The up
rights on the sides consisted OF
three 2x6 and the planks nailed on the
inside were nailed on the edge of these
upright 2X6. These uprights were
about five feet long. For three feet
from the bottom these planks were
nailed close in order to keep their
feet out when they began kicking. AT
the lower end of these uprights space
Of six inches was left and in front
crOsspiece of Axe was used on which
to nail the floor. These sides were
bolted to this crosspiece in front at
the bottom and also spiked having the
crosspiece flush with the bottom in

SUMMER CARE OF HORSES.

A great many horses are laid up
This can be remedied in a very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main part
of the harness and it should be of the
very best kind and fit the animals
neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
we'll washed and brushed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught and
held on the moist and sweaty Shout
ders and collar, there to form hard
Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any are found
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away.
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with a mixture of warm wa
ter, salt and soda.
Hot water is one of the best-known
natural agents for relieving soreness
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure of the animal body. Salt
and soda are healing and disinfecting
agents.
A little alum and fannie acid, the
juice from the bark or leaves of oak
or willow trees, will heal and tough
en- the skin and should be applied
with warm water.
