JOSEPH LANGELLIER, Editor ftPub'r. CYRUS, TREGO COUNTY, KANSAS. said that bad boys do not whistle; they THE FARMER'S WIFE. "The great secret in training horses," said Prof. George Bartholomew to a newspaper man, "is to make haste slowly, and at all times to use persuasion and firmness in preference to compulsion or force.

Nothing can be more absurd than the ideas I find generally pertaining in regard to this, that to make a horse understand anything it must be beaten into him. The thing to do in training a horse is to go about it naturally, to reason with him always deliberately and kindly, and make him understand that you are his friend. I never have found that coaxing and invariably kind treatment spoilt a horse. On the other hand, the same as with are secreuve ana quieu There is a story of a woman who was left alone in a temporary home on thoi prairie with her little family while her husband went to a distant town after provisions. She describes in heroic verse her fear of the red man and how she sat late at night by her window and was terrified by the approach of footsteps.

Then I knelt until lata In the evening, And scarcely an inch had I stirred, When su idenlv tar in tho distance A sound as of whistling I heard. I started updreadfully trigh'ened For fear 'twas an Indian's call, And then very soon I remembered The red man ne'er at all." It was a neighbor's boy coming to protect her who had whistled to let her know of his approach, and she concludes by saying: man, none of the best horses will yield to beating. In all or anv of the difficult for a few days you have the anomaly of unbrokenday in midwinter. "Then come3 the south wind, and often rain, and the great event of the year takes place the ire on the great rivers breaks up, and the blanket of snow melts away. The black earth absorbs the heat of the never-sett'ng sun; quietly butswiitly, vegetable life awakes from its long sleep, and for three months a hot summer produces a brilliant Alpine flora, like an English flower-garden run wild, and a profusion of Alpine fruit, diversified only by storms from the north, which sometimes for a day or two bring cold and rain down from the arctic ice.

But wonderful as is the transformation in the aspect of the vegetable world in these regions, the change' in animal life is far more sudden and more strik ing. The breaking-up of the ice on the great rivers is, of course, the sensational event of the season. It is probably the grandest exhibition of stupendous power to be seen in the world. Storms at sea and hurricanes on land are grand enough in their way; but the power displayed seems to te an angry power, which has to work itself into a passion to display its greatness. The silent upheaval of a gigantic river four miles wide, and the smash-up of the six-feet-thick ice upon it at the rate of twenty square miles an hour, is to my mind more majestic display of power; but for all that, the arrival of migratory birds, so suddenly and in such countless num-: bers, appeals more forcibly to the imagination, perhaps because it is more mysterious." Chambers' Journal.

There is an hour that Is to nio The sweetest of the day, Although it comes when winds are chili And skies are dull and gray; 'Tis whon the day's hard work is done, And br ght the tire doth glow, And my husband to his humble home Comes trudging through the snow. Why do 1 hold this hour the best Of all the twenty-four? Because he's all the world to me, My good man at the door; And whether rain or hail may fall, Or winds of winter blow, Yet I am sure my husband will Come trudginj through the snow. The room is tily, fresh and clean, The baby's face is briyht; What mutter If outside there be 1 he da'k und stormy night? The kettle dimmers on the stove, And well my heart doth know Mv husband soon will to home Come trudging through the snow. A good ten years ago he led Me hither as hi3 bride, And ever since, ihrong'a joy and woe, We've struggled side by sine. However hard the diiy may be, To me things brighter grow When comes the hour tint brings him home, A-trudging through the snow.

Yes, often I've said so in earnest, And now what I've said I repeat, That unless the- e's a boy theru a-whistliug Tho music will not be complete." Boys sent out after dark are said to performances of my own horses, it is impossible for me to force the animals to do anything by and I never resort to it. My rule always is to combine kindness with firmness, and to teach them slowly, and doin this I experience but little trouble.

1 count the military drill, as performed here at the Windsor Theater, the best feature in my exhibition. The scene in the last act of my exhibition, where the horses rush up and fire off the cannons, holding the short lanyard strap between their teeth, is another very difficult operation, and requires a great amount Xit careful teaching. I began at first by teaching them to become accustomed to handling substances with their teeth, without allowing them to destroy the articles. All my horses will do this. Afterwards I taught them to fire off a small cap by pulling at a strap placed between their teeth, and later to fire a blank cartridge, until finally they became so accustomed to it that it was a simple step farther to the present per whistle to keep their courage up.

They also whistle as a signal to other boys, and now a popular genius has developed the use of it as a profession. "For heaven's sake dry up that whistle and I'll come to you, my lad; whistle and I'll come to you, my lad.

Some years ago at a Boston theater, during one of the tedious waits when the orchestra has finished its selection and everybody had expressed criticism on the play, there came one of those dead lulls during which live minutes seems an age, and just at that moment some one in the second gallery began to whistle'" Home, Sweet Homo." The low, clear notes were a musical as the strains of a llute, and they pierced the air, with their homesick melody and touched ever heart. All heads turned to look up, but it was imposible to distinguish the whistler of the sweet strains among the very ordinary looking people there, until a policeman appeared and churlishly silenced him, and then it was seen to be a sickly-looking, poorly-dressed man who had entranced every ear with his plaintive, tender melody "and left a memory, in every heart' Nowadays whistling is almost one of the lost arts.

When it is considered that the teeth are remarkably sensitive conductors of sound, and tho immediate vibration which occurs to the animal's head on the instant the shot is fired and before it is possible to release the strap, the extreme difficulty attending its successful teaching can be better conceived. If a horse is veiy nervous and easily subject to alarm, the best method always is to treat him gently and with the greatest consideration. Find out the reasons or objects which effect to frighten him, and make him immediately familiar with them. Show him that none of them will hurt him.

Among the first lessons which a colt learns from its dam is that of fear of certain objects, and the effect is always lasting. In training horses it is necessary as far a possible to uproot th inherited fear, and to make it plain to them that you intend always to befriend them. As all the runaways among horses are caused through fear, so the majority might easily be prevented if only the simplest natural precautions were taken. The fact is, people generally who have the care of horses show remarkable carelessness, acting sometimes Without the slightest reason or consideration. A person will drive up the street and stop at some place, getting out of his vehicle, and either leave his horse altogether unhitched or very insecurely fastened, and will afterwards express surprise that his action has resulted in a runaway.
