That's the caress He Likes Best, But
Most People Don't Know 1t.
"Not many people know how to
pet a horse-that is, from q horses
standpoint" said the driver of one
of the big trucks that brings rolls
of paper to The Sun Office.
Every nice looking sleek horse
comes In for a good deal OF petting,"
he went on, as one of the big grays
rubbed his muzzle anxiously against
the truckman's sleeve. Hitch fine
horse close to the curb and you'll find
that half the men, women and chill
dren passing along will stop for a
minute and give him an affectionate
pat or two.
That is especially true along Park
row during the noon hour. The trou-
bic is that they don't pat him in
the right place.
"If you want to make horse think
he is going to the equine paradise rub
him over his eyes. Next to that form
Of endearment horse likes to be
rubbed right up between the ears. In
petting horses most people neglect
those nerve centres, and stroke the
horses nose.
while q well behaved horse will
accept the nasal caress complacently,
he would much prefer that NICE sooth.
ing touch applied to the eyelids. Once
in while a person comes along who
really does not know how to pet horse
and is surprised when horse throws
back his ears and acts peevish; but
let q person come along who was
brought up in the country and knows
the horses and his peculiar ways and
he will pet the animal by rubbing
him between the ears, directly over
the eyes."-New York Sun.

The Old Gate Made of Tickets.

There was moonlight in the garden
and the chirr and chirp Of eric.
kets;
There was scent of pink and peony
and deep syringa tickets.
When a-down the pathway whitley
Where the FREELY glimmered bright
ly,
She came stepping, oh, so lightly!
To the old gate made Of pickets.
There were dew and musk and muir
muir, and a voice that hummed
low snatches
OF song, while there she hurried,
through the moonlight's silvery
patches,
To the rose-grown gate, above her
And her softly-singing lover,
With it's blossom-tangled cover
And its weight and wooden latches.
Whom she met there, whom she kiss
ed there. mid the moonlight
and the roses.
With his arms who there enclosed
her. as tigerlily closes
Some white moth that frailly set
ties
On its gold and crimson petals,
Where the garden runs to nettles-
No one knows now or supposes.
~
Years have passed since that last
meeting; loves have come and
loves departed.
Still the garden blooms unchanging,
there is nothing broken-hearted.
In its beauty, where the hours
Lounge with sun and moon and
showers,
Mid the perfume and the flowers,
AS in days when these two parted.
Yet the garden and the flowers and
the cheerily chirring .'rickets
And the moonlight and the fragrance,
and the wind that waves the
thickets-
They remember what was spoken,
And the rose that was a token,
And the gentle heart there broken
BY the old gate made Of picke.s.

Lansing offered him s1o IS take
load of household goods 10 the III
ter city. He loaded the lares an.
penates on a hayrack sleigh and start
ed out
The first day he made over hal
the distance and stayed with a farm
err all night Came a thaw and the
next day Ockerman had to zigzag al
overlook him he turned into the barn
his runners. Finally he reached
Lansing. There he found that the
wrong address had been given hin
by the mover. He was several hours
discovering where the goods belonged
so the third day rolled around be
fore he started back.
Stopping for neighborly chat with
a man whom he met on the road ter
miles this side OF Lansing an oppor
tunity to do a little horse trading
arose. Ockerman, after two hours
bargaining, sold his sleigh for So
cash and traded one Of his fine horses
for another horse and a COW. Driving
his. live stock before him he continu
ed his Journey on foot. When nigh
overlook him he turned into the barn
yard of a comfortable farmhouse, surs
of a welcome. At supper he learned
that there was to be a dance at the
place that night but that the fiddler
had disappointed. Fortunately Mr.
Ockerman is good violinist and Of
fered his services. He did so we'll a,
the dance that the next morning
the farmer presented him with an
old buggy with which to continue his
journey.
A few miles further on he got
chance to sell the horse which had
belonged to the team, and as the OF.
fer was advantageous he promptly
closed it.
Ockerman had left Owosso with a
team Of horses and a sleigh. He re-
turned with a horse, COW, buggy
and 5000 in cash.-Detroit News.

said that there was a class of men

"The most fertile source of breed

Among other causes of the growth
Of these classes he mentioned exces-

Some of the farmers on the
south side seem to think that
the wheat was more badly inJur-
ed by the severe winds of two
weeks ago than was at first
thought. One man in particular,
who has a section of land in the
Seward neighborhood, says that
with the most favorable weather
from now on, he does not look 70
more than a half crop, and there
are others who estimate the da'
age done to be at least thirty
per cent. However, most Of the
farmers, especially those on the
hard land, think that but CON-
paratively little damage was
done. We are not getting pes
simistic over the matter, but
are simply giving the different re
ports as they have come to us.
