How to Ride Horseback Even if You

In riding sit erect and don't SLOUGH
along. Don't try to be cowboy If you
are not We have the real simon pure
cowpunchers and broncho busters, also
we have the tinhorn variety Of the
same species. Steer clear Of the latter;
also be careful not to get into this
category yourself.
Remember that a horse Is only flesh
and blood and not an auto. He gets
tired and thirsty, and for goodness sake
treat him accordingly. Because he La
a livery horse and you are paying his
hire treat him white just the same.
Remember that some one else rode him
yesterday and another will probably
do so tomorrow. Give your horse the
same kind of a deal you yourself would
demand If you were in it's place; even
a broncho has "feelin's'' and will appre-
ciate your observation-disclosures.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every day and don't know thu reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left.
This is indeed a pity, says a
specialist because badness usually
comes from carelessuess and anyone
who gives the scalp little attention
should always have an abundance OF
good healthy hair. Dust and dirt
help to cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for
breeding.
The treatment is very simple:
Shampoo at least once in ten days
and destroy the dandruff germs by
applying frequently Partisan Sage, a
delightfully."- efficient preparation that
F. D. Pierce is now recommending as
the surest treatment to stop falling
hair, to remove dandruff and to re
fresh and invigorate the hair roots
The cost of generous bottle o.
Partisan Sage is very little and drug
gists everywhere have been auth r
lied to offer it with guarantee of per
feet satisfaction or money returned

it in a tired kind Of way. He had
served nearly ten months of a four
year sentence. He had expected to
stay only about three months at the
longest. When a man with a. many
friends on the outside as Jimmy VAL
entine had Is received In the ''stir' it Is
hardly worth while to cut his hair.
"Now, Valentine" said the warden,
you'll go out in the morning. Brace
up and make a man Of yourself. You're
not a bad fellow at heart. Stop crack
ing safes and live straight"
'Mew said Jimmy in surprise.
why, I never cracked a safe In my
life"
"Oh, no." laughed the warden. "Of
course not. Let's see, now. How was
it you happened to get sent up on that
Springfield job? Was it because you
wouldn't prove an alibi for fear of
compromising somebody in extremely
high toned society? Or was it simply
a case Of a mean old jury that had it
in for you? It's always one or the
"Me?" said Jimmy, still blankly vir-
tuous. "Why, warden, never was in
Springfield in my lifer'
''Take him back, Cronin," smiled the
warden, "and fix him up with outgo-
ing clothes. Unlock him at in the
morning, and let him come to the bull
pen. Better think over my advice, Val
entine"
At a quarter past on the next
morning Jimmy stood in the warden's
outer office He had on a suit of the
villainously fitting, readymade clothes
and a pair Of the stiff, squeaky shoes

charged compulsory guests.
| The clerk handed him a railroad
ticket and the five dollar bill with
which the law expected him to reha-
bilitate himself into good citizenship
and prosperity. The warden gave him
cigar and shook hands. Valentine,
9762, was chronicled on the books
"Pardoned by governor" and Mr.
James Valentine walked out into the
sunshine.
Disregarding the song of the BIRDS
the waving green trees and the smell
Of the flowers, Jimmy headed straight
for a restaurant. There he tasted the
first sweet joys Of liberty in the shape
Of a broiled chicken and a bottle of
white wine, followed by a cigar q
grade better than the one the warden
had given him. From there he proceed
ed leisurely to the depot. He tossed q
quarter into the hat of a blind man
sitting by the door and boarded his
train. Three hours set him down in 6
little town near the state line. He
went to the cafe of one Mike Dollar
and shook hands with Mike, who was
alone behind the bar.

TACT AID A SPEECH.

Why Disrasi Changed His Mind About
Speaking In French.
In Lord Redesdale's memoirs" there
are some stories Of Lord Beaconsfield.
The following is particularly character
istic:
'sThere was one amusing incident in
connection with the Berlin congress.
One day it was announced that on the
morrow Lord Beaconsfeld was to ad-
dress the assembled statesmen and
that he would speak In French. Lord
Odo Russell, who was a master Of
tongues, heard this with no little alarm,
for it was well known that Lord Rea-
consfeld's French was very much Of
the stratford- type. Lord
Odo, always clever, went to him and
sdroitly turned the conversation on to
ths next days conference. Lord Bea-
consheld announced his intention Of
speaking.
"Tn what language do you propose
to speakT asked Lord Odo.
In French was tho answer.
"T am afraid that win be q very
great disappointment to the colleagues,
said Lord Odo. You see, they know
that they have here IN you the greatest
living master Of English oratory, and
Of course they are longing to hear you.
'The great man smiled his pleasure
and the speech was delivered in Eng
lish. Lord Odo was wont to declare
that he never knew whether Lord Bea.
consf1eld took the hint or accented the
compliment"

INDIVIDUAL GROWTH.

1t cannot be too often repeat
ed that the ends of society are
not realized when there are
great aggregate results, magnif-
cent public works, great accu-
mutations of wealth and of the
means of sensual and sensitive
enjoyment, with the degradation
or without the growth Of indi-
viduals, and that all changes in
the form of institutions and the
directions Of active industry
must be futile which do not orig
mate in or draw after them an
improvement in the character Of
individuals. But it Is self evil
dent that society can furnish a
free arena for individual growth
only as the principles of justice
and benevolence are recognized.
