There are three methods OF teaching
a horse to leap-coaXing, lunging and
| driving. In the coaNing method the
young horse is turned into small
paddock having low hedge or hurdle
| across the center. In plain view of
the pupil rider on veteran jumper
should take him over the hurdle sew
| eral times.
The trainer then goes to the opposite
Side with Il measure OF corn or oats
| and calls the horse, shaking up the
grain and pouring it with his hand

boundary will soon be cleared, und
when a few mouthfuls have been eat
en- the station OF the instructor should
be at the other side OF the hurdle and
the lesson repeated. IL this be done
daily the hurdle may be gradually
heightened.
The habit or jumping Is thus ac-
CURED without those risks which at

and whip and spur distract the at

= washington, June 1.-The River
and Harbor bill is still in conference
and with little or no prospect Of an
early agreement because eight or ten
Senate Amendments are out Of line
With the Act Of 1902, which requires
favorable report from\ the Board
| Of Army Engineers. The projects In
controversy have either been adYers-
ely reported upon or not reported at
all. Among the eight or ten Senate
Amendments which are proving
stumbling blocks for the conferees
of the Senate and House, the ones
that stand out most strongly are the
Beaumont and Orange Improvement
Of the Neches and Sabine Rivers;
| Lake Contrary on the Missouri River

after Congress has ordered the sur
Vey Of a project, the local or dis
trict Engineer reports upon the adj

to the Division Engineer who ap-
proves or modifies it in accordance
with his judgment. From the

immediate improvement Of other
projects in the same locality are not
as important, an appropriation is

by the Army Board. If the Engine-
ers report is unfavorable, the Eivers
and Harbors committee refuses to-
have anything to do with the project.
SO, too, if the project has not been
reported upon by the Engineers.
All the items in controversy in the

House conferees for the reason that
the Engineers have either reported

have been turned down by the

Richard Coniston was in love with
a picture. He who had travelled
thrice around the world and seen the
famous beauties of many lands was
irresistibly attracted by a wholesome
American girl outlined on calendar
The picture was evidently from a
photograph. The girl stood in the
foreground. slenderly graceful and
vigorous, smile on her winsome
face. She was poised in the act of
swinging golf club on little white
ball In the background was a fine
old gentleman with snowy side
whiskers, two or three caddies and
some lookers-on.
Coniston, young and rich, had set
tied down on his big estate, deter
mined to wander no more; but two
months Of staring at THE Golf Cir"
as he called her, had aroused the old
restlessness. He felt that at least he
must see her.
At the bottom of the calendar was
the name of a publishing house 10
Gated in Chicago. In small letters
was also the copyright imprint of the
calendar manufacturers. They were
in New York. Chicago was nearest
to Coniston, though still a long dis
lance away. He packed his bag one
morning, after wrapping up the cal.
endar very carefully and slowing 1t
therein, and left for Chicago.
