The Horse’s Prayer
TO THEE, MASTER. I otter ray
prayer: Free, water and care for me:
and'when the day's work is done, pro
vide me with shelter and a clean dry
bed. Always lie kind to me. I*et
me sometimes, that I may serve you
the more gladly and learn to love you.
:J)o not. jerk the reins, and do not
whip mo when going up hill. Never
strike, beat nor kick me when I do
not understand you. Watch me. and
if I fail to do your bidding see if
something is not wrong with my har
ness or feet.
Do not overlook me, or liiteli mt
Where water will drip on me. Keep
me well shod. Examine my teeth
when I do not eat; I may have an
ulcerated tooth, and that, you know,
is very painful. Do not tie nor cheek
my head in an unnatural position no:
take away my best defense against
flies and mosquitoes by cutting off
my mane or tail.
I cannot tell you when I am thirsty;
so give me clean cool water often. I
cannot tell you in words when 1 am
sick- so watch me, and by signs you
may know' my condition. Hive me all
possible shelter from the hot sun;
end put a blanket on mo. not when
I am working, but when l am stand
ing in the cold. Never put a frosty
bit in my mouth; first warm it by
holding it a moment in your hands.
I try to carry you and your bur-

dens without a murmur, and wait pa
tiently lor you long hours of the day
or night. Without the power to
vhoose my shoes or path, I sometimes
fall on the hard pavement and 1 must
be ready at any moment to lose my
lift* in vour service
And, finally, (), MY MASTER, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze, nor
sell me to some human brute, to be
slowly tortured and starved to death;
hut do Thou, My Master, take my life
in the kindest way, and your (lod will
reward you HERE and HEREAFTER.
Amen.
SOUTH FEEDS THE GOOD OF NEW
LAW.
Louis ft. Farley, head of a Montgomery
national bank, a former president of the
Alabama bankers’ Association and a pe
culiarh keen observer of finaneial af
fairs, deelares:
"The Smith is already feeling the good
of the new currency measure. Money is
getting freer eaeh day. and business in
terests large and small,, are sensing the
wave of prosperity that is sure to come.
When the regional banks are establish
ed, there can be no better security for
financial interests. The banks will be
protected in so thorough a manner that
panics will be unheard of. 1 do not be
iicve that under the new law we shall
ever again have a financial stringency,
much less a calamity. The vast re
sources of the South assure her immun
ity from financial troubles, now that wo
all hut have ouY regional banks. As an
example of improved conditions, 1 can
say that paper is being met more
promptly now than in the last several
years. Improvement has come gradually,
but there Is no mistaking its presence.*
