CAUGHT A QUEER AILMENT.
Pioneer Blacksmith Has Arm
Trouble Caused by Horse

About the oldest affliction we have
heard of for many moons is that
which is causing considerable annoy
ance to Dow Batten, pioneer horse
sheer and blacksmith of Knoxville.
Dow is not seriously afflicted nor
is the disease loathsome or re-
Ipulsive nature-it is simply burn
ing skin-contracting malady, affect
ing the undersides of both arms, said
to be due to rubbing his skin against
that Of sweaty horses.
Horse-shoers have a great banker
ing for the short-sleeHed shirts. Such
are as much the emblem Of the order
as is the fringed leather apron. The
shirt being absent brings the mans
bare skin in direct contact with that
of the horses upon which he works.
Mr.. Batten has been in the business
/ AZ years straight and as result
has arms upon which the under
sides have the appearance of having
been scalded. The skin is sleek, hair
less and without pores, and, Dow
says, that the ''scalded" patches itch
smart and burn in most exasperat-
ing manner. He has consulted ply
sicians and surgeons, even the spe'
cialists, and the concensus of opinion
is that the trouble is "horse sweat
malady without a remedy"-Knox'
vile. Journal.

Binder Burns in Field Near PostvilI,

Monday forenoon of this week Ar
be Behrens was burning some weeds
that he had cut in a swath around
his grain field east of town. When
Arbe went to dinner the fire was APP
parently out, save a few patches
where it was smoldering, and there
seemed to be no probability of il
breaking out again. However, a nice
little breeze evidently came along
and tickled it under the chin and
coaxed into burning again, with the
result that the self-binder, which
had been left in the field all ready
to hook onto was totally destroyed

We Are All Spoiled :
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

1 overheard the conversation Of two
this is what one of them said: 1--WE are
all spoiled-in some way or other"
I am quite sure that you will agree
with the gentleman who made that re-
mark. We are all spoiled. But 1 am
glad that we are! For, if we were not,
we would have a world of sour faces
and sick souls walking around living
on bread and milk"-simply because
that would suggest the easiest mode
of existence.
And who could build cities and
shape nations on diet of bread and
milk? ?"
There is only one way to spoil a
human being-and that is to pamper
him. You cannot do it by "petting"
him. For the humanity in the hearts
of men and women-where their baby
life is-callS for just that.
Do not feel afraid to spoil the one
who serves you, or does you kindness
by withholding praise from him-for
fear of spelling him. You will spoil
him-if you do not give him his due
in love and praise.
For it is a quality and fact of human
nature that people like to be spoiled.
Give and spread your love and re-
them live longer-and better. And
rpoil people while yet the time is ripe
and ready. Every harvest has its
passing day.
Don't you like to be spoiled? And
aren't you considerable like everybody
else? Then do not forget the Golden
