Abuse of the Horse.

Do not shout in your horses ears. An able scientist Is authority for the statement that a horses ears are ex- tremely sensitive.
 He says shouting at a horse is unneces- sary And If persisted in it will spoil the animal for intelligent direction.
 The more one speaks loudly and harsh ly to the horse the more does the animal expect such outbursts and will make an extra effort only when the driver makes an extra use of his voice.
 The low word spoken positively. but in kindness, Is all sufficient.
 One may make an intelligent, faithful companion of his horse or he may make his horse a driven slave, a nervous, sul- len brute.
 The writer was pleased the other day to witness the tact and kindness of coal teamster The team was good one, and the wagon was heavily loaded. Paus- ing for while at the bottom of long hill, the driver spoke to his horses In a low. encouraging tone. The team re- sponded to its utmost. At intervals the driver "chucked' the wheels, giving the animals a breathing spell and friendly pat.
 That teamster and his team were chums and coworkers. They under stood each other. The horses were in telligent and so was the driver. He had only to suggest to the animals what he wanted done, and they gave every fiber of their strength to his pur- pose.
 Kentucky gentleman who owns a "big string'' of thorough breds and has won many races permits no unkfnd word to be spoken to his horses either at his ranch or on the race course.
 The driver who yells at his horse as if the animal were deaf Is poor horseman. The driver who loudly curses his team is tyrant. The driver who jerks the reins or beats his horse is brutal.
 He that abuses one of Gods best gifts is not worthy to be master, much less owner, of a horse.
 One sometimes could wish the doc- Urine of the transmigration of souls might be true and that the brutal driver might be changed into horse. compelled to wear an iron bit in his tender mouth. his delicate ears as sailed by torrent of abuse, and feel upon his back the sting of the cruel lash. That would be the irony of fate.
 Exceeding frmness combined with exceeding Kindness will conquer and control any intelligent horse.

HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN 4. NYH Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

i divorce laws, which the Indians cherish as means of culture and uplift.
 A correspondent tells of Sioux buck who walked into a lawyers office at Chamb erlain demanding a divorce. He wore a huge sonbrero, greasy and dirty, with a pair of oyeralls Tapping about the ankles and blue oh ecked cotton jumper soiled by weeks of wear.
 The Sioux. unable to speak English, made known his desires through an in terpreter. He said his squaw had six husbands previously to marrying him.
 The lawyer filed an application for divorce on the plea of 'incompatibil- ity
 Eagle Boy hoped the lawyer would hur- ry, as he had already selected a new wife-the squaW of another Indian who had applied for a divorce When he got tired of the new wife. he volunteered the informatiop, he would get another in the same manner.
 The smiles of Eagle Boy plainly indi- cated that he thought the whole proee- dure a lot of good fun. Formerly when an Indian grew tried of his squaw he sold her to some one else for a pony or a blanket or bag of flour. Now he is civilized. He con- suits a divorce lawyer-and sells her just the same.
 Tho marriage custom is also changed. The buck selects his wife according to tribal precedent, but immediately starts with her for the nearest justice of the peace or missionary and gets the sanction of the law. Marriage or divorce 1t is all the same to the discriminating aborgne.
 Lo the poor Indian. is up to date.
 The tribes it is said, point with pride to young braves who have had four or five wives and been freed from them by law.
 And why not?
 The smart set of the east find the Da- kota divorce statutes convenient to them and travel long distances to avail them selves The Dakota Indian is fortunate in having the courts close at hand. And Is not "ineompatibilty' as trying in a tepee as in brownstone front on Fifth avenue?
 If the white man makes a mockery of marriage, what can he expect from half tame savage?
