5 HORSES AND DRIVERS ALIKE Their Respective Callings Seem tc Bear Out to Perfection Harmony in Appearance. Ever notice how the horse rescrnbl?! '•> the driver—or the driver the horse 1 I inquires the Columbus (O.) Dispatch. • Here stands an old horse hitched to a scavenger’s wagon. The driver, the i wagon and the horse all resemble I each other. The wheels of the wagon do not “track." They wobble around y 1 making serpentine tracks, and creak ami groan as they rumble along. The horse has a spavin on one leg and a ' misshapen hoof on one foot and a few r i white patches on his back where, the i harness in other days has made sores i And there is the driver, poking about ! 1 in the barrels in the alleys, unkempt, I wobbly in his gait, uncertain upon his feet, dejection in his features —for all I the world like the horse and wagon. . | Here comes a fellow down the street r 1 driving a high-headed horse, with I shiny harness. It seems out of date ~ of course, for’ the motor car has ren 1 dcred obsolete the best of horses and ’ j the finest of carriages. But the driver : is of the same stripe—a smooth-enough II looking fellow, well groomed and bar t bered to perfection and clothed in flashy apparel. But he, .Joo, seems a bit out of date; at least he carries you back to the "sporty" days of the ’ past. He and the buggy and the horse ’ resemble each other as nearly as the t scavenger and his outfit resemble each other. There goes an ice wagon—a pair oi . ponderous Norman horses, with strength In every feature. And on the seat of the wagon sits a man of strength, with good, Strong arms and robust body, resembling the stability . of the wagon and the team. You can go through the whole list and" you will fihd the resemblance oi driver and team and vehicle. We won der if it will come to be the case with the motor cars when we have a motorized world. Wo half suspect it will. THINK MUCH OF ENVIRONMENT Breeders of Black Cattle Will Have Nothing of Light Color About Their Establishments. The breeders of the Polled Angus —a particular race of black cattle in Scotland —who make a great point of keeping up the perfect uniformity of their blackness, getting rid of every individual that has even a single white foot, take care to have everything black about their farmsteads. All I the buildings are black, the horses are ; black, the dogs are black, the fowls i are black. No breeder will have anything colored or white about his place. Though no account can be given of | the physiological action which makes [ these precautions effective (as they ! are asserted to be) in securing the desired results, yet some scientists are strongly inclined to think that some influence of this kind is concerned in producing many singular correspondences between the surface aspect of fishes and crustacda inhabiting shallow waters and the character of the bottoms on which they live. Putting the Baby to Sleep. In the mutter of sleep, babies are inclined to bo contrary. You must first form the time-honored habit of walking the floor with him. Care must be taken not to walk on a highly polished hardwood floor, for if you should happen to drop him he is likely to scratch up the nice, smooth surface. Pick out a room with a rug or a carpet in it, preferably one where your wife has been sewing during the day. In this way the pleasure of the walk will be increased by the delightful pastime of picking pins out of the soles of your feet ever and anon, and the baby will have further opportunity of increasing his vocabulary. If you object to walking the floor and are willing to stoop to deception you might hire somebody to drive a heavy cart up and down on the cobblestones in front of the house. The ; baby will think it is the milkman on his morning rounds, and, satisfied that he has kept you awake all night, he will go to sleep with a clear conscience. However, he will never have ; the same confidence in you after he grows up and learns how you have deceived him. Had to Have "Owl Car.” A conductor on the Cottage Grove line insists that the following incident really occurred on New Year’s morning: ! The car was proceeding at about ten ' o’clock in the morning, when a tipsy j individual who had been celebrating j I the arrival of the year throughout I 1 the night stepped on to the track and , 1 hailed the motorman, saying: "Shay, I i m’ fren’, is zish Cottage Grove owl. j car?” | I On being assured that it was a Cot- j tage Grove car, but not an owl, he j waddled unsteadily back to his seat I on the curb, exclaiming: “Gp along, then; I’m waiting for an I owl car.” —Chicago News. — Circumstances Alter Cases. "Pa, were you ever caught, smoking when you were a boy?” asked Tommy j Slathers, who had been invited to the i woodshed for a private interview with' his father. “Why— er—yes,” answered Mr. . Slathers. . “Did your father punish you?” ; “No, he didn’t.” "Then I hope you won’t be hard on me because you have caught me smoking.” I

gj OBITUARY. John W. Hornada was born In Clinc ton count-, Ohio. June 8. 1873, and departed this life April 5, 181<J, at his homo tn Linn Grove, Ind., at the age of 42 years, 9 months and 27 days. , On Novtimbnr 28, 189 G, ho was united in marriage to Miss Libbie Hall, who a with four children survive him. The c children are Cleo, Irvin, Serenu and e Lauren, who will miss the kindly adi monition and advice of a loving farther. On< brother und.one sister al .o It ‘ survive him; one brother and both E i parents pre* tiding him Into the spirit a i world. Brother Hornada was a mem- ’ ber of no church, a worshiper of no p , creed, but a man who always lived t in that upright way and’, manner taught him by Quaker parents, that a he was regarded as a man of his word j whose honor was unquestioned, and whose Ufa was so lived that a host t of friends are left to mourn his tie--3 parture. He was raised in the faith 1 of the Quaker and on several occaBions during the last few weeks pre- ' ceding his death expressed his wil- } lingneas to die and asked his family , and friends to promise to meet him , in heaven, evidence that he had quietj ly made his peace with God before s being called home. For about twenty e years of’his life 7<lr. Hornada taught 2 school—an honorable vocation— in 3 which he was successful. In his last E illness, which extended over a period of about twelve weeks, he was a pa- * tient sufferer, offering no word of I complaint at the most severe pain and ‘ misery, which his disease inflicted j upon him. His demise is felt all the j more keenly owing to his intense devotion to his companion and children [ who were always foremost in his II mind. o , I HERE is a rei .edy that win cure most all skin an* - scalp troubles.
