PLEA FOR THE HORSE.

With the approach of the hot months it would be well
to consider the horse mans most faithful friend and
most patient servant
The automobile is coming to free him, but the enamel
patton is not yet. The inhuman treatment of these ami
mails, everywhere and especially acute in
mer will cease when longer have for the horse
when kind invention has substituted tame lightning for
his power.
Drivers and owners of horses should remember that
these creatures subject to the of physical
suffering They complain, and they
work for their food.
When the horse is born into the whirrng world he has
before him long road, marked unceasng toll. He is
valued for the labor there is in his muscles the strength
in his snews the power in his chest-and he will have to
work till one day he lies down and dies.
Have you thought of the situation of horse
what he endures at the hands of men!
The manager OF big laundry concern told us that he
longer tried to purchase good horses because the
drivers would msreat them and make plugs Of them
anyway
That is terrible Indictment.
We know of case where man starved the team he
was driving and sold the feed for couple of drinks.
We know of case where man worked team all day,
fed them and then rented them out to work all night and
kept it up till the horses skeletons.
Think it over.
Are you humane in your treatment of the animals you
drive?
Do you use whip because you have it handy?
Are you one of the unthnking who start horse with
blow instead of using your voice.
Do you overload, and when you strike hill fog the
team TILL in snortng and writing desperation half mad
from fear they pull the load to the point YOU desire9
Do you allow horse to stand the sunny side of the
street, Do you stand there hot days?
DO you allow horse to stand for hours with feed bag
on his nose on breathless day? Tie cloth your
face and see how it feels!
Do you give your horse cool bath in summer?
You know how good it feels when you battle!
The patient horse takes what he gets the beating and
starvngs. He is entirely dependent your of
decency, your kindness of heart your fair treatment.
The best drivers in the world will tell you that every
ounce OF energy horse is capable of be gotten out of
him without the of whip He's willing that he
will work for to the death at the sound of your voice
Ii you worked for your board you would ask be fed
regularly to be gwen enough wacr, to be granted
sonabe hours of rest to have sickness respected and
prompt attention given you.
Don't feel that this little talk is an interference with
your business In the hearts of most there is keen
sense of Justice
/ All ask is that you be just to the faithful friends
who you well.

THIS BURGLAR HAS
PAIR OF WINGS

Ever carry money in your sock?
If you do, take hunch-keep
your hand on it. and if there's an
air hole big as lead pencil in your
house set man trap by it-don't
even trust keyhole. 1t might
even be well to tie your coin to
your false teeth at nights, just to
be safe.
Why? Because about the class
lest burglar that ever invaded
peaceable territory is in town. He
evidently crawled through the key
hole or up the bare brick walls of
the Metropolitan hotel last night
to diminish the financial funds of
o. W. Iverson and Ben Langan-
berry The truth is he wrecked
Langanbery's bank, though no one
heard the explosion.
Now, Langanbery and Iverson
are newcomers to the city, but
they had heard much of the heart
less work of the thugs and bur
glars and concluded right on the
start to play safe in the City Beau
tiful. I.anganbery rolled $170 in
one of his new brown socks and
when he tied knot in the top of
the sock his bank was closed-the
vaults were locked.
He thrust the whole wad down
into his trouser pocket and slept
with his best ear on the pocket
that contained his bank, but just
the same, Raffles, or whoever it Is,
got the whole thing. His sock, all
united and empty, lay there beside
his bed with his checkered trou-
sers this morning, but that was
all Iverson was cleaned, too
They got Is cents and watch
from him. The door was still bolt
ed, but a window opening on an
enclosed court was up enough tc
admit a mosquito.

Boys, learn to swim!

Boys, learn to swim!
OF course, it is scarcely neces-
sary to tell a real boy to learn, for
there is something in boy nature
that leads him to the water about
the time he escapes from his moth
ers apron strings, and he learns to
swim as mater of evolution.
But, boys, learn to swim cor
rectly. Once mastered, the art is
never forgotten. And you never
can tell when the knowledge will
be of value.
Experts always advise beginners
to wade into the water until it
reaches their armpits, then face
the shore and try to get to land
Confidence in your ability to
keep your head above water is half
the battle. Don't do this by throw
ing your head back so it rests on
the spinal column, but hold your
self naturally and easily.
When facing the shore, fall for
| ward gently in the water, with
your hands under your chin,
thumbs touching, elbows pointing
outward, just below the surface
Give slight push with your feet,
at the same time moving both
hands outward and downward,
backs together, fingers close, with
sufficient force to keep your head
above When both hands are fully
extended, sweep them at full
length back until they touch your
legs. Then bring your hands to-
| gether under your chin again, for
another stroke. Thisi the arm
movement in the breast stroke.
AS for the use of the legs, well,
use them like a frog. A frog swims
by drawing his knees up on each
side and pushing them backward
as if he were kicking something.
That's just what he is doing. kick
| ing the water. At the end of the
kick his legs are together, toes
pointed downward
Don't draw your knees up under
you. Spread your legs apart-like
one of those Jack on a string
things-with the knees on each
side. When kicking, strike with
the soles of the feet and push the
water from you. Finish with your
feet far apart, and then draw them
together in a straight line, toes
downward.
| The kick should be made just as
| your hands are extended for the
stroke. Do not hurry to make the
next kick or the next stroke. Take
your time. A strong, even kicl
and stroke will carry you through
the water for some distance. One
fault with even good swimmers is
that they hurry the kick and lose
speed. Not till your speed begins
to slacken is it necessary to make
/ another stroke or second kick.

ONE VOTE
CAPITOL WAS SAVED THROUGH
SENTIMENT OF MAN WHO
BUILT THE hISTORiS STRUC-
TURE

The state capitol almost went to
Virginia City once, lacking but one
vote.
The capitol removal furry recalls
several instances when people
thought Carson City was about to
rose il. When Senator Powning was
alive he made periodical grand
stand plays about removing the cap
itol to Reno. He never had the
slightest intention of doing it. but he
knew that 1t gave him prestige in
Reno and votes When he ran again.
One night Joe Goodman. Rollin
Daggett and Jonas Seeley got on a
big bat and left Virginia City in a
hack without knowing whether they
would land in Eureka or Reno, when
they woke up. The driver though;
they asked him to go to Carson City
and he headed in that direction.
Early in the morning the hack
reached Carson City and the three
men getting out at once began a
campaign of education. They an
nOunced that they came to move the
capitol to Virginia City. They flood
ed main street with wine and soon
had most of the members of the leg
islature drunk. A bill to move the
capitol to Virginia City passed the
house with whOOp. 1t came with
in one vote of winning in the SEN
ate.
Senator Curry who built the CAPT
tOl had promised to vote for it and
the next night while walking with
Joe Goodman near Clark's hill ha
burst out crying and told Goodman
that he could not vote to move it for
sentimental reasons. Goodman re-
leased him from his promise and the
capitol remained in Carson City.
