Horss,nan.hip of Mexican Hoys.

Workmanship of Mexican Boys.
One Of the finest and most inspirit-
ing sights of small town life in
Mexico is the horsemanship of the
boys from 8 to 17--perfect young
Centaurs, as much at home in the sad
die as Arabs. How they go thunder
ing through the streets, what marvel
ously short turns they make, and how
instantaneously they come to short,
sharp stop in headlong gallop!
These country towns of Mexico are the
nurseries, SO to speak, of the national
cavalry, an arm uf the service in which
Mexico excels. The finest sight in the
world, one on which the gods must
look down approvingly, is high
spirited lad astride o good horse. A
Mexican boy takes to the back Of @
horse as Cape Cod boy does to a boat.
At no age is rider holder than in that
enchanted period of existence lying
between childhood and manhood.
A Mexican lad, in default Of sac
die, will enjoy himself hugely bare
back. He early learns to use the rope
or RATA, and, beginning with lassoing
dogs and pigs, he advances to mules
and COWS, and ti.ally essays the roping
of lively bull. So expert do they
become that in war they frequently
drag their enemies from their saddles
by q skillful cast Of the rope. Some of
my Younger friends here seem to me
to live on horseback. They come home
at roontime to snatch bite, as most
Boys will, but off they are again on
their tireless horses. They have the
good fortune to live in country which
enjoys climate which makes out-of-
door life possible all the year round,
and the country lad, continually on
horseback, grows up straight, robust
and daring.-Boston Herald MeGtcG,t
