LXPRfcSSJPACKAGES Below Are a Number of Suggestions, How to Ship Christmas Packages. IS VERY IMPORTANT —— ■ I ■ ■ That You be Acquainted in This Line as it Will Mean Much to You. Do you expect to send your mother, sweetheart, or friend a Christmas Pt esent this year? If so, and you find it necessary to patronize some express company, It wiuld be well to bear in mind the following suggestions submitted by an expressman: First: Ship your package early, by the 18th if possible. The express company will give you a small label to paste on the package, reading: “Don't open until Christmas.' This will insure the package reaching its destination befpre Christmas and give the additional pleasure to the recipient of the gift or having it Christinas morning. Second. Use wooden boxes for ; packing. Glass or fragile articles 1 should be well protected. It may cost a few cents more, but the danger of loss or damage is very much reduced. True if the shipment is lost or dam- ’ aged, the express company will pay for it, but that will give your friend 1 no pleasure. Third. Write the address in full, state, county, city, street and number, 1 on the box or package with ink. or 1 crayon. Tags are frequently torn off and lost. 1 Fourth.

more than nothing; improperly broken, it is worth still less. It is harder to break a horse that nas been tampered with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the hand of man. Often it Is impossible to rid an individual of faults thrust upon it, when a youngster, by an educator who has not had the necessary experience. Many times horses have thus been spoiled for life. 1 P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer ' > and educator, is a man thoroughly ex-! pes’ienced and equipped for this un- j dertaking. Horses placed in his charge can be placed there with the fullest confidence that they will receive the careful and skillful attention, made possible by years of experience. Now is the time to have : colts broken. Don't wait till warm w’eather, as you can now get them' , handled with more attention. Masterson is also a developer of j speed, and has met with splendid! success in this line. Tn fact, this is' his main business, of which the breaking and educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has j taught Masterson that horses trained i for speed should be started early in t the year. When a horse goes a “good | corking mile” every muscle and fibre in its make-up is put to the most ' tense exertion. For this much power of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a good supply of systematic jogging is unavoidably necessary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pas- , ture because they xvere put to the ! test of their speed and endurance be- j j fore thay had sufficient preparation. : The horse should be built up in the , winter in order to develop speed in 1 the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will bo met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaiginiug is the prospect well win- ' tered. Masterson is well equipped for ' such wintering.
