HORSESHOE AND oooc LUCK.
Story of Old German Myth Which
Still Prevails.


Still Prevails.
"In the olden times. in little village
of Germany, a blacksmith was hard at
work. The sound of the anvil attract
ed the attention Of the devil. He saw
that the smith was making horse shoes
ana thought IL would be n good idea
to get his own hoofs shod. SO the
devil struck a bargain and put up his
foot. The smithy saw with whom he
was dealing and nailed Oh a red hot
shot Griving th6,nails square into the
shoof Of the deYil.f The devil then paid
and left.slbut.,the honestvahlacksmit
threw tho money into the fire, firmly
believing it would bring him bad luck.
Meanwhile the devil walked some dis
tarcc AMI hogan to suffer the greatest
torture from the shoes. The more he
kicked and danced and swore the
worse the things hurt him. Finally
after he haG gone through the most
awful agony, he tore them off and
threw them away. From that time
forward, whencver he saw horse
shoe he would run away feverishy,
anxious to be out of sight of the things
that had tortured him So"

this story today, and one can scarcely

Advice for Worker.

Advice by an energetic, efficient
business man to a man now going
back to work after a tired out spell:
Take things easier and get more
fresh air. No worry. Do the most i'm
portant thing first and then the next:
generally the things you don't do
aren't worth doing. What you think
you ought to do you want to do up to
the handle and do it quick and then
forget it.
Don't putter. The way to get
along. in my judgment, is to work up
to the limit for certain limited num-
Der of hours and then stop. A man
can get further in the long run walk
ing three and half miles an hour for
eight hours out of each "a than he
can going two miles an hour for 16
hours in "a. The first way he can
keep going and improve the last way
he will deteriorate and finally have to

(By j. D. DUM1RE.)
The horse for the farmer is the

can be raised by the common farmer
with little trouble and expense. He is
in reach of almost every farmer in the
country. 1t is profitable business on
the farm to raise few good colts.
say good colts, for it is just as easy to
raise good ones as poor ones.
1t is just as easy to raise good
horses as good cattle or good sheep or
good hogs. 1t does not pay to raise
poor ones-leave that for the other
fellow. The farmers that raise good
stock of any kind are the men that Sc
lect good sires. The men that have
good herds and good f1ocks are the
men that select pure-blood sires from
one or the other of the several pure
breeds and stick to the breed of their
choice, If in cattle it is Shorthorns in
few years his herd is all the same
type and color.
If it is Angus or Herefords, the re-
suits are the same. If this is true of
cattle and sheep, it is certainly true
Of the horse. Fellow farmers, select a
sire from one of the pure breeds Of
draft hOrSes-Percheron, Shire or Bel
giant matters but little which
breed.
1t is only matter Of choice to the
breeder himself Be sure that the sire
is good individual. Breed just such
mares as you have. The better the
dam the better the result Always
breed their produce to pure-bred sire
Of the same breed.
In a short time your mares are all
alike and of the same type and dispo-
sition, all bearing a family resem-
blance. You will not have the DISPOSE
ton of a broncho in one and the trot-
ting horse in the other, but you will
have a class of horses that are easily
handled, easily fitted for the market
and an everyday market at home and
abroad.
You need not spend any extra ume
and expense in looking after buyers;
the buyers are always looking after
this kind. If they get wire-cut or

keep.
Never allow the colt to follow the
dam when in harness at work. as the
colt will do much better if left in the

CHINA is MAKING PROGRESS
Part Played by America in Country's
Advancement Acknowledged
With Gratitude.

His imperial highness, Prince Tsai-
Tao of China, in the course of a
speech he delivered at the twelfth an
nual dinner of the American Asiatic
association at Delmonico's in New
York, said:
1T is an encouraging sign of the
times that Americans are taking a
much greater interest in what is go
ing on in China than they did a little
while ago. The free interchange of
views on questions of public interest
cannot but be advantageous to both
countries. On the other hand, we also
wish to know more about other coun-
tries. Our officials and merchants are
beginning to travel more and more to
foreign lands in search of information
and opportunities. This thirst for for
eign ideas is having its effect upon
the whole country. China is now
passing through a great crisis in her
history. The old order of things is
fast giving place to the new. What
we need most now is men--men able
to do the work that has to be done.
Though we have established
schools and colleges in all parts OF
lAAO AAP4A 0o 1oOI cS VIC SclA1 II VIII
be some decades yet before we can
hope to have such schools and col
leges as you have in this country.
Still, we have made beginning. In
the meantime we intend to send a
steady stream of students to your
country. Thanks to the generosity of
the American government, in remit
ting a portion of the Boxer indemnity,
China is able now to send 100 students
to this country each year for the first
four years and so thereafter. There
will soon be 40 government students
in this country. These students on
their return to their own country can
not but give a good account of them
selves.
ct is my sincere hope that they
will do their part in guiding the af-
fairs of their country in the path Of
progress and reform and in binding
China and the United States together
with a strong tie of friendship and
good feeling"

Cows and horses that are kept busy
fighting flies require more food to keep
them in condition, and, indeed, it is
impossible to keep them in proper
condition.
Advantage should be taken of the
fact that flies constantly tend to seek
the light places. A stable need not be
absolutely dark in order to prevent an
annoyance from f1es, and in fact it is
not thought best to keep the stables

GETTING MAD.

1t very often happens that a person
will get mad in arguing a matter or
when some one differs with him. One
commits a great mistake when he acts
thus. He weakens himself and
strengthens his adversary. Anger
diminishes the force of an argument
AS soon as one gets mad in arguing a
point, ne should stop talking or change
his temper. Anger stands in the way
of truth. 1t contracts ones view. 1t
spoils knowledge. Real wisdom, &C
cording to the Scriptures. is first
pure. and then peaceable, gentle and
easy to be entreated." says Ohio State
Journal. There is no room for anger
in wisdom, and certainly. when man
is engaged in differing with his neigh
Dor, 1t is best to be wise. Men some
times can't bear to be disputed. AS
soon as one differs. they summon up
their ire, shake their fists, and rush
down on a man like clatter of tongs.
1t does no good. It confirms the ad-
versary in his view and the rancor
reacts upon those who indulge in 1t.
Observe when you have had an argu-
ment with a man, and got mad. how
afterward you regret it; how really it
seemed a little devil had intruded IT.
self upon your talk and left its tracks
in your heart! And then, what lack
of pleasure there is in getting mad!
The only argument that is pleasant
and effective is that which is pure,
peaceable and gentle.
