THINK oE HE BRUTE.

During these cold winter days, do
not think of your own comfort alone.
Remember your horse, your dog, or
other domestic animal in your care,
says the Milwaukee Journal. DO not
put a frozen bit into your horses
mouth See that your pet has warm,
dry bed and a comfortable place IN
which TO live IN blanketing your
horse. see that the blanket is securely
fastened SO that the first gust Of wind
does not take il under his feet Do
not drive at full speed immediately
after having given him water. Your
dog cannot find enough water to drink
while all is ice and snow outside. See
that he has water where he can get II
when he likes. Winter rabies is some
times the result Of long continued
thirst Whatever animal you have in
your care, attend to its comfort.
The vicious horse is most frequently
made so by a vicious master. II you
yourself are kind, if you trace the his
tory of the horse you will find that
someone has been unkind and unreal
sonable with him. And vicious horse
can by course of kindness, be made
gentle. This has been proven, FOR eX-

There is lesson for everyone in

Because of the care he has exercised,

Physical culture doesn't necessarily
signify gymnasium, severe training or

Why, oh. why. will women keep for
years impossible things. that no one

Old Magazines and newspapers. brio

purpose in life except to make still
heavier the twice-yearly houseclean-

One wonders sometimes II the own
ers are simply too stingy to give away
the givable things and throw the. rest
into the dust heap. But no; they are
only the victims of that procrastination
that cannot bear to do the most neces-
sary thing now and lets matters slide
for years and years instead.
