Hose Talk.

A half. broken horse is worse
than one not broken at all and is
a dangerous animal.
Feeding a horse corn one day,
oats the next and something else
the next is a good way to quick
ly invite indigestion.
To successfully train and man.
ner colt we must early gain it's
confidence and can only do that
by kindness. Then patient per-
sistence along definite lines will
accomplish the desired result.
When your bedroom is too
warm all night for you to get
any good sleep, how much do
you feel like work next morning?
Just so with your horse. Let
him sleep in pure, cool air and
profit thereby.
A press dispatch reports that
the record breaking price Of $780,
600 was paid in London for the
thoroughbred mare, Flare, the
property of the late Daniel Coop
er. The previous high price for
mares was $62, 500 paid for La
Flech.
The satisfaction Of knowing
that your good and faithful horse
is as comfortable as you can
make him while laboring in the
broiIing hot sun will fully COM
penSate a humane man for the
little trouble such horse comfort
entails upon him.
Many a vicious horse has been
started on his bad career by not
being properly handled when
young. Even though a colt is
naturally of a bad disposition he
can be easily managed while I'M
der six months old. When he
once is taught that man is his
kind master the first step in his
training has been successfully
accomplished.

Reduced Freight to State Fair.

The Kentucky State Fair Man
agement announces that it has
secured positive reduction in the
switching charges into the Ken
lucky State Fair grounds on all
kinds of freight, including live
stock, from $500 per car in and
$500 per car out, to $50 per
car in and $500 per car out.
They believe that in a short time
they will be able to induce the
railroads to absorb all the switch
ing charges and, in fact, have
the promise of some of the rail-
roads to do so and are anxious
that all exhibitors know that
they will not have to pay such a
nigh rate, even if they have to
pay anything, as they paid last
year.

the News. There is not much
going on here now. Business is
dull, but will soon open up when
they begin to gather the cotton
crop which will be right away.
The cotton crop is fairly good.
Feed crops are cut little short
on account of too much dry
weather, but guess people will
make enough to do them, as a
failure on feed in this country is
unknown. 1t has been awfully
hot here for the last week or so,
registering 10 and 112 in the
shade. No deaths on account of
heat. Guess | suffer worse than
any one, as l am the latest man
in town. / am going to take a
trip to Elpaso, Texas, and the
City of Old Mexico, in October;
will tell you about it when / get
back. Hoping you all had a big
time at the Fair, will ring off for
this time. Maybe this will es-
cape the waste Nasket; will try
to do better next time. Success

quite a number entered the race.
The piano was awarded, but one
of the contestants became dis
satisfied with the result hence
the suit. Whether there is mer-
it or not in the suit, the result
will be detrimental to the good
name of the publisher and his
paper. 1t has been thought by
many publishers that any sort of
contests are of but little lasting
good to a paper, but on the con-
trary, the most satisfactory way
to build up a paying subscription
list is strictly on merit. Make
the paper so interesting and val
liable to subscribers that they
will pay for it because it is a
necessary adjunct to their daily
avocations. The press associa-
tons of the country are giving
contests" and "side-lines"
careful consideration of late, and
the agitation of these trouble
some subjects can but result good
to the fraternity. If the Western
Publisher may be permitted to
volunteer a little advice to pub
fishers, we should say, taboo the
contest, cut ont the side-line,
and stick to your job.

What is the good of spying

fool of another is fool himself.
Don't get into the habit oflaugh-

when my mirth is another mans
misery. Before man cracks a
Joke he should consider how he
would like. it himself; for many
who give rough blows have very
thin skins Give only what you

like it, yet nothing is more just.

Christmas Shopping

1t may safely be assumed that
pure thoughlessness and careless.
ness are Mt the root of the ante
Christmas congestion In the shops.
The average person dNes not stop
to consider the load of misery with
which he burdens hard working
salesgirIs and other employees Of
the shops, even to the least, simply
because he delays making his pur.
ohases until the last few days
before the 25th day of December.
1t is through no lack Of considera
tion for the comfort and feeling of
these public servents, perhaps, that
most persons commonly procrastin-
nate In this important matter.
The average person just doesn't
think; he forgets until the 21st or
22nd or even until the 24th, then
rushes aimlessly about gets mixed
up in a swarm of others who
have been equally helpless, and
finally energies, entirely dissatis
fed with his selections.
Common humanity demands that
the Golden Rule be applied to
Christmas shopping. There is also
a deal of common sense in it. Not
only does the late shopper ibHict
immeasurable distress on others,
by reasons of the strain of long
hours and tedious service, but he
also deprives himself of the peace of
mind which arises from performing
this shopping duty weeks in ad
vance,as we'll as the opportunity Of
selecting his gifts before the stocks
are sadly depleted. The spirit of
Christmas is also opposed to this
reckless, haphazard, last minute
buying. There can be no peace on
earth for those who suffer as the
result of it.

heavy loaded did not make the
distance in 80 short a time coming
back. "Doc" says they killed 1O3
of the finest cotton tails that grow

great success was due to the fine
hunting dogs they took with them,
which are always found on the

Harmon for President

Governor R. B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, in an interview given out
at Richmond. Va. declares that, in
his judgement, Governor Harmon
of Ohio will be the next Democratic
nominee for president. Governor
Glenn says:
"I think Governor Harmon is
the best man for the place, and l
know from experience, for l came
in contact with him as attorney
general of the United States when
| was federal district attorney in
in my state. He is an exceptionally
able man, and his election as gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket in a
state which had one of it's own sons
as the Rel ublican presidential can
didate, was remarkable political
feat.
Everywhere l have been in my
tour of the country I have found
Harmon mentioned as the leading
candidate.
81 am of the opinion that the
south should demand that the next
vice presidential candidate of the
Democratic party be southern
man. We do the voting and we
ought to be represented on the
ticket. | take no stock in the old
argument that the placing of a
southern man on the ticket would
lose it votes in the northern states,
"The war is over, aud the people
of the north, | believe, will support
southern man as readily as any
other. ! haze been in 81 states of
the Union in the past few months
and | have found no sentiment
worth notice against the southern
men in national politics. "
