PUT ON THE BRAKES. Slow Up. or Before Yon Know It Yon Mar Be OS the Track. Tlic limited goes sixty miles an hour. In the smoker men Joke and play cards and tell risque stories. The day coach es are crowded and comfortless. The heavy sleepers as they sway to and fro make only a gentle rocking for the people who chat and read and nap. Crash! Engine and cars and flesh and blood are ground up together in a shapeless, horrid mass. Off the track! So goes humanity’s train. Here is a boy who got to running on a fast schedule. He began by pilfering from his father's till. As he grew older he made faster time. Down grade he goes, and soon comes the crash. News boys cry a murder and a suicide. The crowd halts for a moment. His friends murmur, “I never thought he was so bad!” A young man is off the track! A young girl thinks her mother is too slow for these record breaking times. Mother is "old fashioned." The girl goes to places her mother has warned her she should not frequent. The bloom is brushed from the fruit. • * • One day a brazen, drunken crea ture, cursing and shrieking, is loaded into the patrol wagon. A woman is off the track! A man gets in a hurry to be rich. His father went slowly, carefully, suc cessfully. But father's methods will not do. What’s tho use of moiling and toiling when a quicker way may well do the business? So-and-so has spec ulated successfully. Surely I am as shrewd as lie. • * * A pistol shot. A man is off the track! Our age is a rapid one. Business and society go at a sixty mile clip. Bather than bo sidetracked for a time men will drive their trains into the ditch. Many of them run wild. There are frequent collisions and wrecks innu merable by getting off the trnck. Look out, thriving but venturesome merchant and reckless young woman and gay young man! The race is not to the swift alone. Put on the brakes. Slow up, or before you know it you will be off the track.—Milwaukee Jour nal. THINK OVER THESE. Why ore all cowpaths crooked? How old must a grapevine be before It begins to bear? What wood will bear the greatest weight before breaking? Can you tell why leaves turn upside down Just before a rain? You can see any day a white horse, but did you ever see a white colt? Why does a horse eat grass back ward and a cow forward? Why does a hop vine wind one way and a bean vine the other? Where should a chimney be the lar ger, at the top or bottom, and why? How many different kinds of trees grow in your neighborhood and what are they good for? Can yon tell why a horse when teth ered with a rope always unravels it, while a cow always twists It into a kinky knot?—Wesleyan Advocate. Escaped the “Mialit Have Been." “Yes," said the gentle optimist, “I confess I am superstitious enough to wear a lucky Btone." “And do you really think it gives you luck?” “Oh, I am quite sure of it” “Did you have it with you yester day?” "Certainly.” “And in spite of it yon lost a five dol lar gold piece, tore your coat by catch ing it on a nail, sprained your ankle and failed to close the business deal of which you expected so much.” “True,” replied the gentle optimist, “but think of what might have hap pened to me if I hadn't had my lucky stone.”—New York Press. Colchester's Thank salving Pies. Many funny stories are told of the early Thanksgiving days. The town of Colchester, for instance, calmly Ignored the day appointed by the governor and held its own Thanksgiving a week lat er, when the sloop from New York bringing a hogshead of molasses for pies had arrived. In Revolutionary times Thanksgiving was not forgotten. The council of Massachusetts recom mended that Nov. 16, 1776, be set aside for “acknowledgments for mercies en joyed.” In the next year Samuel Ad ams recommended a form of Thanks giving proclamation to the Continental congress.

TEACHING THE HORSE. VV 111 learn Anything III* Maaclea Can Perform. Expert horsemen believe that a horse can be taught to do anything that It Is possible for an animal so formed and to be utterly fearless. Thus we know of horses rushing Into battle with a fearlessness that Is magnificent, al though In the beginning of their lives they may have been foolishly timid, shying nt everything unusual that hap pened to be seen in their travels. In order to teach a horse fearlessness be must be accustomed to all sorts of lights and sounds. He must come to know that because something that he sees or hears is unusual it does not fol low that It is harmful, for it is the un usual things that frighten him. The horse Is an animal of one idea at a time and is not able to discriminate, so say the men who have made a study of the horse. While he will travel along quietly close by the roar of a train, he may tremble at the flutter of a piece of loose paper flying In the wind. It is not the frightfulness of the object that seems to alarm him, but the unfamil iarity of it. Horse trainers say that the mistakes made in "breaking” and training a colt is that it is too often done in the seclusion of some country road Instead of amid the sights and sounds that the animal must necessari ly become familiar with later. As soon as the horse becomes famil iar with anything and has learned to believe that it will not hurt him he will stand quietly or trot along peace fully, even though all sorts of noises and queer sights are about him. Thus the artillery horse will stand amid the roar of cannons, being used to the noise and not knowing that the sound predicts anguish and death. It is well to accustom a horse to unusual sounds as soon as possible after he is trained for riding or driving. It renders him safe and docile, even though be be a spirited animal. A certain trainer of horses said that an ideal school for horses would contain thrashing ma chines, pile drivers, steam drills, elec tric, steam and elevated cars, a band of martial music and a gang of quarry men blasting rock. A horse that was drilled among such a bedlam as this would indeed prove immune to strange noises. The gentle family horse, petted by man and child, is not always train ed to all this, yet he often makes a use ful and faithful animal, loved by his owner and evidently making some re turn of affection.—Detroit Tribune.
