Brooks of Missouri. the prohibition

God lets me live 1 shall never tell lie
during this campaign. for there is no

One thing have never been able
able to understand, says writer in
an exchange, and that is the subject
of bucking horses. l have given the
question some study, and find only in
the western part of the United States,
South America and in Australia do
horses indulge in this most unpleas-
ant performance. This would not be
strange if it was confined to horses
raised in these countries, but it seems
to be in the climate, as the progeny
of the western ponies, if taken east,
never buck, and a colt of higher
bred eastern horse if born out on the
plains will buck the first time a sad
die is put on his back, thing that
other colts from the same mare born
in the east never does.
Both the Kentucky and Irish horse
has a trick of bounding into the air
and alighting with stiff legs, which is
sometimes called buck-julnping. But
this in no way resembles the plunging
buck of the plains. | never saw any
one who could account for the change
of habit in colts born in the west, but
every man who has ever had any.
thing to do with horses in that sec
ton of the country is perfectly famil-
lar with the fact.
