~ seems to be an understood thing that
you should offer a great deal less than the
osner OF morse asks for him and that you
should always get him for less than his original
price. An ordinary horse sale in the country
involves An amount Of Dragging, talking and
lying that is q credit to the talent Of the rural
population. In the city it is bad enough, but
1t Is not circumstance to the tall talk, mis-
leading and bluffng tina. goes on in the coun-
try And then . remarkable thing about it is
that the successful buffer is proud as a peacock
at his success in taking somebody IN. And the
man who is taken in never prosecutes the seller
for cheating at all, but he wisely keeps his
mouth shut and In his turn endeavors to part
with his bad bargain and take some other per-
son In. 1t has been said that the most honest
man in the world WILL il he acquires a setter
dog, become mendacious at once. but il is
much more true that no man on earth can be
trusted in the matter of horse sale. There is
a case OF man who once trusted his own son.
His son offered to sell him a horse. The father
knew the animal we'll and closed the bargain
The son then told the old man he would find
the horse in a certain pasture field, and the
father did find him there--dead Tho old man
learned lesson.
NOT AN EQUESTRIAN CABINET.
President Harrison's cabinet are not horse
men. Secretary Tracy used to be a breeder Of
rare trotting stock. but he gave it up when he
became Secretary Of the Navy. and none OF the
others care particularly about horses. The
Postmaster General has several fine carriage
horses and SO has Secretary Elkins, but none
OF them ride. In this they are acontrast to the
Cleveland cabinet Mr. Bayard, Secretary
Fairchild. Secretary Whitney, and Secretary
Lamar were all horsemen. Mr.. Whitney had
two or three uncommonly fine saddle horses,
and he used to jump and hunt with the best Of
the young men. and Mr.. Farchild also was a
good jumper. Secretary Lamar rode more
sedately than his younger colleagues.
The truth IS that this subject Of statesmen on
horseback is almost inexhaustibe to an old
resident of Washington. From the father of
his country, who laid out the city, down TO the
men of the present day, all have ridden horse
back in the beautiful country around Washing
ton Some of our Presidents rode when they
were inaugurated, but this is q custom that has
gone out of date. 1t may be taken up again :.
however, and there can be no doubt that il the
President is a good-looking man he looks bet
ter in the saddle than anywhere else.
