Obituary

The Grim Master of death has
again invaded ranks, this time
coming to the home of r. S. Rich
ard. and taking with him brother
Richal DIS uncle Wise, as he was
most generally known. Uncle
Wise was born in 1884 and de-
parted this life November 18th.
1918. Being 70 years at the time
of his death. Nine Of his twelve
children survive. Death is a
most serious thing and it is i'm
possible to explain or express in
words what a most serious thing
it is. Those who have thought
and said most about it in time of
health have found dying to be a
far more serious matter than they
could before conceived. The liv-
ing know that they must die; and
yet how few lay it to heart. How
few they are who so number
their days as to apply our hearts
unto wisdom"
Uncle Wilse's illness was not
sudden but lingering he knew
that he must die and told all of
his friends he wanted them to
meet him in heaven. Weep not
dear friends for your loved ones,
when we know they are happy
and safe.
We know there are ties to bind
us but when the Lord calls those
ties must be broken but can be
linked sweeter, if we only will
try.

PrOgreSSives Satisfied

While the Progressives failed
TO hold the Roosevelt vote in
Tuesdays elections, which even
the most sanguine leaders of that
party did not expect to do, there
is encouragement for them in
the results. In Massachusetts
The Bull Moose gubernatorial can
didate ran second to the demo-
cratic nominee, 5000 votes ahead
of Gardner. who ran on the Re-
publican ticket. In New York
twenty Progressives were elected
to the legislature, and in many
large cities mayoralty candidates
of the third party were success
full.
The decree of comfort to which
the Bull Moosers are entitled
from study Of the election re-
turns depends largely upon the
point of view. If comparisons
are made with the vote given to
Roosevelt last year, the Progress
ives are losing ground and the
Republicans gaining. If on the
other hand, the Bull Mouse vote
is considered independent Of the
1912 election, it must be regard
ed as highly creditable to year
old political party. And since
the progressive leaders are pleas
ed, it is apparent that they are
taking the latter view -Yew Pine
Independent.

wild, green colt is as strong as a
bull when thus cornered. a man tries
to throw a moose over the terrified
animals head. he misses. the colt
springs to the far side of the stall
rears and attempts to break over the
partition; back he is forced by a fell
low with the handle Of a pitchfork or
some other equally serviceable wea-
pom.
Again they try the moose, and this
time successfully. The sweating
plunging young animal is now drawn
up to the partition by three husky
farm laborers. bride is placed on
his head, the doors are opened and
with bound the colt plunges out.
Men are hanging to the end of the
long rope, an end OF which is run
through the bit.
The colt reaches the END Of its
tether with jerk which nearly dislo-
Gates his jaw; he is brought suddenly
to stop. when one OF the men walks
up to him.
The colt backs, the three fellows at
the end of the rope jerk and swing
on it until the colt comes to a stand
still, with eyes staring and the sweat
running out of every pore.
Now he is forced to move. Away
he springs, to be jerked back sudden
ly. In the course Of an hour the men
and the victim are equally worn out
and the colt, having received his first
lesson is put back in the stable with
the bride on and the rope dragging to
be left in this way until another day,
when the same idiotic performance
will be repeated
So much for this kind of halter
breaking. There should really be no
kind of halter-breaking except the
sort that takes place when the colt is

Twenty-odd years ago the writer
met a New York horse dealer; this
same dealer came to Virginia and
bought farm. He wanted to raise
colts In addition to small farming.

slept there at night.
Very soon the colts were perfectly
halter-broken (long before they were
weaned) and in being halter-b broken
they were taught one OF the most i'm
portant things In horse breaking,
namely, to stand tied when hitched.
This one quality is about half of the
education Of horse. and without 1t
no horse is properly broken.
The dams OF these colts were
worked regularly on the farm, earning
their own living and at the same time
making something for their owner.
When old enough to eat solid food
they were fed each day and later on
turned out to pasture, but still were
given some extra feed and their mo-
Tiers milk until ready to wean. when
they were put out in a good grazing
