good horse should go. Many famed
horse trainers were hired to cure the
horse OF this disgraceful trick, but

horse Of his bad habit.

CAD tricks.

GERS and retainers, went TO witness
the tanning. The tricky horse was
handsomely caparisoned, but the fakir
made his appearance in his everyday
dilapidated clothes, that were dirty,
as usual for he had no others. By
his side walked a ragged boy, carry.
Ing bag with something in IL. The
fakir said few words to the boy, and
then leaped upon the horses back
with the agility of a monkey. The
horse Immediately began running
backward. Everybody was wonder
ing what the fakir could do, when
suddenly the boy thrust his hand into
the bag and brought out wild, vi
cious-looking rooster, with spurs
three inches in length. Duck as a
flash the boy fastened the fowl TO the
horses tail and then the fun began.
The rooster put in some fine work
with his spurs and cackled and
screeched as loud as he could. The
horse was evidently surprised. First
he stopped and then tried to catch
the rooster, as kitten does its tail,
by turning round and round. The
fakir held on like leech.
Finding this did not succeed the
horse started on n run straight ahead,
just as would dog with a tin can
attached to his caudal appendage.
The stallion had been conquered.
That one lesson was sufficient, and he
never tried to run backward again..
