The Horses Prayer.

To thee, my master, offer my
prayer: Feed me, water and care for
me, and when the days work is done,
provide me with shelter, clean, dry
bed, and stall wide enough for me
to lie down in comfort.
Always be kind to me. Talk to
me. Your voice often means as much
to me as the reins. Pet me some
times, that may serve you the more
gladly and learn to love you. Do
not jerk the reins, and do not whip
me when going up hill. Never strike,
beat or kick me when I do not un-
derstand what you want, but give
me a chance to understand you.
Watch me and if I fail to do your
bidding, see if something is not
wrong with my harness or feet.
Do not check me so that cannot
have the free use of my head. If you
insist that 1 wear binders, so that
/ cannot see behind me as it was
intended I should, l pray you to be
careful that the binders stand we'll
out from my eyes.
Do not overload me, or hitch me
where water will drop on me. Keep
me we'll shod. Examine my teeth
when I do not eat; I may have an
liberated tooth, and that, you know,
is very painful. Do not tie my head
in an unnatural position, or take
away my best defense against flies
and mosquitoes by cutting off my
tail.
I cannot tell you when I am
thirsty, so give me cool, clear water
often. Save me by all means in your
power from that fatal disease-the
glanders. I cannot tell in words
when I am sick; so watch me, that
by signs you may know my condition.
Give me all possible shelter from the
hot sun, and put blanket on me, not
when I am working, but when 1 am
standing in the cold. Never put
frosty bit in my mouth; first warm
it by holding it moment in your
hands.
I try to carry you and your burdens
without murmur, and wait patiently
for you long hours of the day or night.
Without the power to choose my
shoes or path, sometimes fall on the
hard pavements, which have often
prayed might not be of wood, but of
such nature as to give me safe
and sure footing. Remember that l
must be ready at any moment to lose
my life in your service.
And finally, o my master, when my
useful strength is gone, do not turn
me out to starve or freeze, or sell me
to some cruel owner, to be slowly
tortured or starved to death; but do
thou, my master, take my life in the
kindest way and your God will reward
you here and hereafter. You will
not consider me irreverent if I ask
this in the name of Him who was
born in a stable. Amen.-Chicago

~LUMBIA.AUGUSTA
Trolley Line to be Built in the Near

extension of the Aiken-Augusta troll.
ley line to Columbia. James U
Jackson, of Augusta, who has been
here for several days with the OBJ
ject of closing the negotiations and
making the necessary payments
said last night that, in the absence
of G. A. Guignard of the bridge COM
pany, in Sumter, he did not wish to
give the public statement. The
substantial facts, however, became
known yesterday, and there is not
the slightest doubt that the purchase
has for it's principal and immediate
object the building of the electric
railway from Aiken to Columbia
connecting at Aiken with the line to
Augusta, Mr.. Jackson being the
president of the company owning the
latter line.
The purchase price for all the
properties is to be sum somewhat
in excess of 100000, and the area
of land included is little more than
1000 acres. Mr.. Jackson, it is be-
lieved, represents the E. H. Harri-
man estate interests.
1t was said yesterday when the
new owners of the bridge prepare to
convert the old bridge to trolley pur-
poses they will propose to the city of
Columbia, on terms to be arranged
later, that a new bridge be construct
ed with passage ways for automobiles
and horse-drawn vehicles. This ar
rangement would probably carry with
it concessions on the part of the city
to the electric railway company in re-
spect to facilities that the latter
would need in the city. Of course,
these details have not yet been con-
sidered and what is said of them is
for the most part conjectural. 1t is
only certain that the purchase of the
bridge and other properties is ready
for consummation to-day and that
Mr., Jackson is here for that purpose,
prepared to make payment.
The distance as the crow flies be-
tween Aiken and Columbia is almost
fifty miles and the distance by
trolley from Aiken to Augusta is
about twenty-five. The line to Co.
lumbia will probably be about IS or
80 miles in length.
What. the building of the line will
mean to Columbia and the rich and
prosperous section of country be-
tween Columbia and Aiken affords a
fruitful topic for the play of the i'm
agination, but the development that
viii follow from it is not to be east
ly exaggerated. The farms along the
line will be placed within an hour or
at most 2 hours of 2 large urban
markets for the sale and shipment
by steam of their produce and the
whole belt that the line will pene-
trate will take on new and larger
commercial life. The plan has been
under discussion for years, Mr.. Jack
sons activities having been enlisted
in it from the first, and the compile
ton of this successful step, which
seems to guarantee its early con-
summation, must be matter of i'm
mense qualification to him as well
as to the communities to be benefited
by t.-Columbia State.

ITS HARD Being

BIENNIAL REPORT MADE
Can't Get Lodging in Hotels, Says
Game Warden Lincoln, If he
Reveals His
Identity.
BIENNIAL REPORT MADE

Being deputy fish and game war
den Is one state job which is not a
snap" according to State Fish and
Game Warden George A. Lincoln, in
his biennial report filed yesterday with
Governor Carroll.
He sets forth in his report that in
several counties In the state a game
warden dare not reveal his identity
else the hotels and restaurants will
not house and feed him, attacks being
feared from persons antagonistic to
the wardens.
He then recites for the enlighten.
ment of the governor that one deputy
warden in trying to arrest a man was
beaten over the head with a broom.
stick welded by the mans wife.
Other deputies had bricks SHE'D at
them, one or two were made targets
for bullets fired from ambush, and
others had to engage in knock-down-
drag-out fight to perform the duties
assigned to them by law. In fact,
Warden Lincoln says, the life of a
deputy game warden in some sections
of the state, is strenuous one
Warden Lincoln made several rec.
concentrations for new laws in his re-
port. One which he advocates is that
minors be prohibited from hunting.
He asserts that too many songsters
and harmless birds are killed every
year by boys with small caliber guns.
AS to the financial condition of the
department, he states that it is excel
lent, the new hunters license law,
which created a fund of $10S,S77, being
the cause for it.
During the periood covered by the
report 449 prosecutions for alleged
violations of the state laws were in
stituted by the department and fines
of $10,617.12 collected. Thirty-eight
Jail sentences We're imposed on viola
tors and thirty-fiye persons were freed
OF charges. The total value of seines,
hoop nets, trot lines, traps, dip nets,
spears and boats destroyed by the de-
partment was $4,000.

SCENE IS A NEW ONE
RehearsaIs Are Being Attended by
Large Numbers for Premier
Burnt Cork
Show

For the past two weeks rehearsals
have been held in st. Peters hall in
order to drill all OF those who are
going to take part in the home talent
minstrel which is to be given in that
hall in the near future.
From the present indications there
will be twenty persons who will par
ticipate in the event and they have
been closely chosen from the best
talent in the city, including singers,
comedians, and clog dancers.
The setting this year will be differ
ent from that of previous perform
ances. 1t will be staged like the old
time minstrels in the form of circle
and not as the lawn scene which has
been given for several seasons past.
To arrange successful home talent
minstrel is no easy task as 1t must
be considered that the majority of the
participants are people who are en-
ployed and to get them assembled to
rehearse in order to master their
parts is easier said than done.
But so far all Of the rehearsals
have been attended by large num-
bers and apparently the participants
are highly enthused as to the out
come of the first minstrel Of the sea-
son. The exact date Of the show will
be announced later in this paper.
The following Is the list of those
who will take part and their posi-
tons:
Interlocutor-Edw S. Lotion.
End Men.
Walter Nodler ........ John BRASIL
