Although the attendance was not large as at the Township Conven tions of last year, yet in each in- sti-nce |t was characterized by earnestness, intelligence and respon siveness. Never before have we felt so encouraged over the future of our county organized work. These in stitutes have revealed thiX the schools of our county are ready for larger things and determined to werk for them. Too much, cannot be written in praise of Miss Van diver’s work. At every- meetit-g de spite the fact that the sessions were long and strenuous, she held her audience as “in a spell” and all were thoroughly regretful when the hour brought her message to a clos, We ave so encouraged with the personnel! of the new township of ficers.

' Bugher, first Deputy Police Commissioner of the Metropolis) To Thee, nuj Master, l offer mij 1 trailer: Feed me. water and care for me, and when the day’s work i» done provide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie d<»w ;i in comfort. Talk to me. Your voice ofeen means as much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that 1 may serve you more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, n* -I<lo not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or k. 1 me when 1 do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me. and if I fail to do -oar bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness *• f<-t?t. Examine my teeth when » Jo noteat. 1 may have an ulcer ated tooth, and that, you know, i? very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural position, or take a*ay mv best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cutting of my» tail. And finally, O my Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some 'Tuel owner to be slowly tortured and starved to death; hut do Thou, my Master, take my life in the kindest way and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not considertne irreverent if 1 ask you this in the name of Him who was bom in a stable. Amen. o My Further Appeal. Remember, 0 my Master, that my strength and the service I can give you depends upon the feed and care you give me. Give me good, wholesome food in required quantities, and keep me clean, then I can serve you to the last ounce of my strength. Do not harness me to a poorly constructed, heavy-pulling- wagon—it will exhaust my strength without profitable sot vke to you. Use wisdom in your selection of the wagon I am to draw— S t it be one of those easy-running wagons—THE WHITE ICKORY WAGON. I can pull twice as much load with the same exertion, and it will take leas feed to keep me in condition, 411 of which means dollars to you. The WHITE HICKORY WAGON is built on scientific prin ciples and will reserve my vitality and keep me fresh and strong for the next day’s work. Therefore, my good Master, heed my advice.
