An Achievement.
Judge Thatcher of Mississippi was an
obstinate bachelor and rather prided
himself upon having resisted the
charms of lovely woman when on all
sub's his friends had falleu victims to
the Insidious arrows of fate. He was
a solemn looking utuu, but with plenty
of dry humor lu his nature. He had a ’
pleasant home, over which his relatives
sometimes presided. Upon oue ocea- i
slon a lady called on some charitable
errand, and. the servants being out for
the moment, the judge answered tho
bell. The caller, who was a stranger,
asked for the "madam."
In a grave and deliberate voice the
judge replied, “There is uo madam."
The stranger instantly detected a sor-!
row and spoke with sympathy in look j
uud voice: "Alas, I see! Pardou m^—
n bereavement.”
This was too much for the bachelor!

could not be worsted of his years of I

Healthy horses require no medicine,
but there are so many intestinal para
sites and so many kinds of worms that
affect horses that constant supervision
pays. Almost all young horses are bet

springtime. Many horsemen like to
give a little worm medicine, and each
titan has hts favorite. A good many
worm medicines are harmless, uud If
administered to a healthy colt will do
uo harm. Usually a keen borsemau
knows whether worm remedies are nec
essary or not, but in case of doubt It Is
a little safer to give the medicine, pro
vided the medicine Is really harmless.
Some medicines are harmless and some
are not. Stimulants are not necessary.
