"THE EVENING STORY One of World-Famous Works of Literature Breaking in a Horse. Beaut; % 1 18 o to ‘be spoken or told by the horse.) , & crupper, and a breaching, and stand still while they are put on; to_have a cart or a chaise (car-| riage) fixed behind him, so that he | cannot walk or trot without dragging it after him, and he must go fast or slow, just as the driver wishes. K He must never start at what he sees, nor speak to other horses, nor bite, nor kick, nor have any will of his own; but always do his master’s will, even though he may be very tired or hungry; but the worst of all is, when the harness | is once on he may neither jump for | Joy nor lie down for weariness. So you #ee this breaking-in is a great thing. T had, of course’ long been used to a halter and a headstall and to be led | about in the fields and lanes quietly, | but now I was to have a bit and bridle; | my master gave me some oats, as usual, | and after a good deal of coaxing he got | the bit into my mouth and the bridle fixed, but it was a nasty thing! Those who 'have never had a bit in their | mouths cannot think how bad it feels; | & great piece of cold hard steel as thick | as a man’s finger to be pushed into one’s mouth, between one’s teeth and over one’s tongue, with the ends com- ing out at the corner of your mouth and held fast there by straps over your head, under your throat, round your nose and under your chin, so that no way in the world can you get rid of the nasty hard thing. It is very bad! Yes, very bad! At least. I thought so; but I knew my mother always wore one when she went out and all horses did when they were grown up; and so. what | with the nice oats and what with my | master’s pats, kind words and gentle ways, I got to wear my bit and bridle. Next came the saddle, but that was not half so bad. My master put it on my back very gently, while old Daniel held my head. He then made the girths fast under my body, patting and talk- ing to me all the time; then I had a few oats, then a little leading about, and this he did every day till I began to look for the oat and the saddle. At length, one morning my master got on my back and rode me round the meadow on the soft grass. It certainly did feel ; but I must say I felt rather proud to carry my master. and as he continued to ride me a little every day I soon became accustomed to it. ‘The next unpleasant business was putting on the iron shoes. That, too, ‘was very hard at first. My master went with me to the smith's forge to see that I was not hurt or got any fright. The blacksmith took my feet in his hand, one after the other, and cit away some of the hoof. It did not pain me. so I stood still on three legs till he had done them all. Then he took a piece of iron the shape of my foot and clapped it on and drove some nails through the shoe quite into my hoof, so that the shoe was firmly on. My feet felt very stiff and heavy, but in time I got used to it. And now, having got so far, my mas- | & ter went on to break me to harness. There were more new things to wear. First, a stiff heavv collar gst on my neck and a bridle with great side- pleces against my eyes, called blinkers, , of course, I could -not kick such a good master, and so in tlmedl o night to a neighboring farmer’s, who had a meadow which was skirted on one by the railway. Here were some and cows and I was turned in them. I shall never forget the first train that went by. I was feeding wauletly separa the the railway, when I sound at & distance, lew whence it came— with a rush and a clatter and a puffing How ]ong' will this energy under the strain of a COUGH? +..it seems unbelievable that these husky youngsters should be so easily exhausted by a brief attack of coughing! YET every mother knows that eoughing uses up her children’s energy more quickly than all the wigorous games they play! Just waatch a child under the strain of # wracking cough. The little body seems to be torn apart with every spasm. Breath leaves them—their eyes droop. They become differ- ent beings—limp and exhausted. Don't let a child suffer with 8 cough. It not only weakens them, but leaves them suscep- tible to more serious sickness. out of smoke—a long black train of something flew by and was gone almost before I could draw my breath. turned and galloped to the farther side of the meadow as fast as I could go, and there I stood s! with aston- ishment and fear. In the course of the | day many other trains went by, some | more slowly. These drew up at the sta- .| tion close by, and sometimes made an awful shriek and groan before they stopped. I thought it very dreadful, but the cows went on eating very quietly and hardly raised their heads as the black frightful thing came puffing and grinding past. For the first few days I could not feed in peace; but as I found that this ter- rible creattire never came into the field, or did me any harm, I began to disre- gard it, and very soon I cared as little about the passing of & train as the cows and sheep did. Since then I have seen man much alarmed and restive at horses e sight or sound of a steam engine; but, thanks to my good master's care, I am as fear- less at railway stations as in my own stable. Now if any one wants to break in a young horse—well, that is the. way. My master often drove me in double- harness with my mother, because she was steady and could teach me how to go better than a strange horse. She told me the better I behaved the better Two Rooms, Kitch- en, Bath and Recep- tion Room.

It helped her so won- derfully that I have used it ever since for all her upsets or colds. It has kept her strong, energetic, rug- ged.” Children suffer when bowels aren’t regular. Breath becomes fetid; tongue coated; eves dull. When these symptoms are neglected, bil- iousness, feverishness, lack of appe- tite invariably follow. The first dose of California Fig Syrup relieves these symptoms and activates sluggish bowels. Successive doses help tone and strengthen weak bowels; improve appetite; encourage digestion and assimilation. Try it with a bilious, headachy, constipated child and see how it helps. The pure vegetable product, en- dorsed by doctors for 50 years, al- ways bears the name California. So look for it when buying.

It is entirely free from harmful drugs and relieves coughs in a natural way, quickly and safely. It clears the throat by loosening the phlegm—soothes the throat irritation and quiets the cough withoutupsetting thestomach.
