LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature Of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
Of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when 1t was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there IL no hint Of such
foreboding until We reach the mid

there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread.

which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend US to laugh
on occasion, why did he endow u!
with the capacity to laugh, with 1

II We are good judges OF human ma

biographers. we should feel very much
inclined to lay SO bill to 10c piece
that the willy Richard who once
made himself hoarse shouting "A
Horse. a Horse, my Kingdom for a
Horse" wanted a good one.
Richard had just killed five Rich
monds. or thought he had. and was
looking for another when his horse
was killed under him. and when he
uttered his memorable words. Yes
he wanted horse and he wanted one
badly enough. but, he wanted a coed

A good horse was what he wanted.
good horses are what We all want. and
1t is only the large breeder who can
really tell us. how many bad horses
be breeds, for one good one that he
sells This is In large measure due
TO haphazard methods in breeding;
breeders are not careful enough in
the selection of their parent stock. nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the peculiarities and characteristics OF
the families from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed. and in the
| thoroughbred in this country. nothing
but this element has been considered:
the result is too well known TO be re-
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no
body seems to try to remedy the de-
fects that this near sightedness has
produced There is not one trotting
horse In a thousand whose anatomical
formation. physical and constitutional
soundness, will permit him to become
a 2:1O trotter. nor is there one race
horse in the same number that can
gallop a mile in first class company
with any chance of winning. for the
same reason.
Breeders no not give sufficient care
To individuality. size, bone, substance
and soundness; they never think OF
temper or temperament and only con
