TRAINING Horses.

1t is claimed by those who have
trained many horses that, taking the
colt when training first begins, they
can be trained to walk over four miles
an hour. The walking gait is the
most important one to the farm and
road horse. The mistake with manv
IN training young horses Is that thew
are too soon put to trotting, which ia
a gait they more readily learn than
fast walking.

TOO MUCH m DEBT

The morning paper and those few
who back II still cling 10 the ancient
ways. That the municipal question
no longer allows sensible peUple TO
support that old aldermanic method
OF ruling a city is well known. and is
accepting here in Guthrie for aid
time sake only When the morning
orsen Of aldermanic governments
claims we can not or should not
change the plan because we already
owe the limit, II surely leaves, even
its accustomed place and forces many
tc vote yea or nave on matters in
which they Were not greatly concern
cd But &c have even a decrepit or
weak person tell You that there can
be no betterment there is no better
way and that the debts of the past
are TO De the milestone which stops
growth SORT of makes one feel like
making some little protest on the
case But the little or much good
bal can be written into a book abou,
Guthrie should not cause even the
poorest sort OF friend TO believe we
owe 100 much TO get out of debt.
If we are 50 bad as the proponents
oi aldermanic government say. how
win we ever gel out? Surely we are
not so bad as 10 be bankrupt.
