SPURS AND WHIPS.
-Let's take a rest ffoWl the spurs
arid whips.
Let's have few entertainments
without the spurring and whipping
of horses to make them buck and to
unnatural antics.
Buffalo Bill had his day, but that
was some time ago.
There is hardly such a thing as a
real wild west cowboy in existence
today. Like the American Indian
thev are a dying race. The cowboy of
olden times who was loth to shoot out
lights and throw billiard balls through
windows every time he came to town
htm been transformed into a manly
eet of men who mostly own cattle of
their own, write a good hand, come
to the different towns dressed in con
ventional attire, visit the shows and
amusement jAiAes without their
spurs hhd try not to attract 'spec-i
ial attention. : - y.
The noble horse is with s -jilist "as
he will always be with m, the
outlaw horse is a rarity wow. Most of
the antics cut on brodhft 'are forced
by the steel spur plwnged deep in his
side or the sting of the whip used by
the rider. And occasionally what is
known as "high life" is resorted to,
which is anything but commendable or
fair to the horse.
A good sportsman would ntft think
of shooting a "bird sitting and the
same rule should hold good with the
horse as to bucking.
Yes, let's lay aside the spurs and
whips and talk 'the breeding of horses
for a wnfle "with 'the hope that the
greatest ah'ittial Jriend to man may
get a Tittle better deal than he has
' heretofore 'received.
HOLDS UP CASHIER.
tffnftequence, poor rWfults follow. of the Annual School Meeting Day;
I find that sfiflfte districts have took time to look over their property ;
much better sfools than others, al- suggest improvements, and plan for
though they pend but little, il any
more, moafcy. It. is not all a ques
tion of expenditure; it is a question
of looking after things and having the
rijM kind of co-operation. Members
of the School Board of the state re
ceive no pay, and are very seldom
thanked for what they do.
A few schools last year made wnch
the future. In each of thosd districts
conditions improved at once. I am
