BV RES. S. C. ZERFASS Does every man need a monument? No! In good, old Lancaster county, men have loved to serve, to sympathize and to sacrifice, so that their names are writteh in the hearts of their fellowmen. Not because of his distinguished looking physical self, nor any probability of being a phenomenal personage; the writer refers the readers to Harrison Zartman Enck.

Novices will be given lessons two or three times a week, In the evening. Instructors agree that ten lessons Is a pretty good course but that much depends upon the person riding.

Some persons are afraid of a horse and are timid about getting near one. but these usually lose their diffidence after the first lesson. A novice should take his first lessons on a quiet horse and then on one with more temper and mettle. A rider can learn nothing of the tricks of riding until he learns control.

An outfit costs money but so does a fishing or a hunting outfit.

But horses can be hired at a nominal rate and virtually the only cost Is that of clothes. But no price is too great for the benefit derived- There Is nothing in the world equal to the exhilaration and stimulus one gets from an hour in the saddle. Whether It Is a brisk canter early In the morning or a dawdling ride In the woods on a hot afternoon, it takes all the sluggishness out of a man and defies him to stay In a bad humor. All foctor advocate riding as a healthful pastime. They prescribe riding as a means of reducing, to get the muscles In shape.

He Is a true pal. other reasons are assigned for the Increase of Interest in the sport of equine riding. Some say It Is now the style, others proclaim it to be merely a fad. But one of the best reasons Is that people are beginning to love the sport. At any rate a great many people are doing it more and more every day.

Major Richardtfon pointed out that riding is one of the best methods in the world to reduce weight, develop coifldence, a sure eye and a steady hand. There are not so many pounds lost in riding as there Is flabby muscle tightened and superfluous flesh hardened- If one rides regularly, he stated, he or she will not grow stout, providing steady riding Is employed.
