We conld foil him nv his 0ait

We could tell him by his gait,
when he SCOT gait agoing" that he
was tramp. He had the regular,
indescribable shuttle, mixed of hope
and despair and pair of rundown
shoes. He had just been treated TO
free dinner and free cigar, and
felt little bigger than life. He had
genius, evidently. His eye was full,
in fact the Orbs of vision visibly
bulged and the whole region round
about was bulbous. And he was a
reporter. He had written for the
Chicago Times. Did we remember
an account of the tramps in Iowa?
We did, and expressed our admira-
ton. That piece of special work he
claimed as his, and no doubt he
could have written it. He had done
other pieces of special work. He
thought he could "write up Platte
county in the interests of emigra-
ton, and sell two thousand papers
and he would work on commits
ion." The scheme looked plausible
TO him, but the JOURNAL force
had its hands full just now of regular
work and didn't feel justified in in
vesting in the enterprise. The
English Reporter then went his
way, not rejoicing, neither, that we
know, sorrowing, to any great ex-
tent. Departing, he went out of
memory, until a telegram from
Jackson, from our good friend, Jno.
Strasser, reaches us: "EDglishman

course we answered John by light
ming, and we hope that no friend of
the JOURNAL has been deceived by
the peripatetic reporter.

Pulling Rack.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 2lst, 1879

COLUMBUS, Jan. 2lst, 1879.
ED. JOURNAL A correspondent
through your columns asks how to
cure a horse of pulling on the hal
ter. The best method that | have
tried is as follows: Put on a very
strong halter with rope-stall pass
the rope over the rail of the manger
and back towards the horse on the
under side of the rail so that it will
run freely; put a common strap
hopple on one hind ankle and tie
the rope in the ring of the hopple so
that the horse can have about the
usual room when tied. Let him
wear this a week, and he IS cured;
if a very old animal it will come
back sometimes, particularly if you
change stables, but any ordinary
horse will never pull again; of
course, this would do no good on a
perfectly wild horse, until they get
over the first fright and come TO
their senses. A strong surcingle
put on so as to hold up the rope will
keep it out of the dirt, but is not
absolutely necessary the expense is
small, and the satisfaction Of walk
ing up to your horses head giving
him jerk, saying, "why don't you
pull back" then seeing him meekly
lean towards the manger, more than
repays the outlay,-for of all the
pull-backs extant, the most ridicu-
lous, inconvenienu, aggravating G pull
backs is the horse pull-back.
