But even for this most annoying trick
the horse is pot to blame. but a. a general
rule, his trainer, though driving in a team
will often make one side Of horses mouth
less sensitive than the other, for which
reason, particularly If the animal Is a sad
dler as well, IL is desirable to shift sides
occasionally rather than always drive it
on the same SIDE. Sometimes wound In
the corner of the mouth will leave a scar
that renders that side of the mouth more
tender than the other. in which case good
results are often obtained by protecting
the eud OF the bit that presses against the
sensitive side.
Like pulling, however. this effect is more
often the fault of early training than of
after methods pursued with the horse. If
any one doubts this, study should be
made of some OF the various devices In
the way of breakiDR-bits for colts. There

Ever since noon on Friday, when the

LICHTENSTEIN'S REVENGE.
He VIII Extract Substantial Damages
From the Bank.

Edward II. Lich enstein, the Kearny.
street jeweler. has filed suit in the Superior
Court against the Bank of California and
Thomas Brown, the cashier thereof. to re-
cover $4,000 for false arrest.
Lichtenstein was victimiZed on Novem-
Der ii last by gentleTanly looking stran-
ger who bought some goods at his store
and graciously handed his clerk bogus
check for $50 in payment therefor. Lich-
tensteiu's clerk accepted the check and
gave change. Lichtenstein was out at the
time, and on his return became suspicious
of the check lransac ion and resolved to
present it at once for payment at the Bank
of California, on which Institution the
check was drawn.
No sooner. however. had the unfortunate
Lich enstein handed In the check than, o.
he asserts, he was bounced upon by Cash
Ter Brown, who seized him and handed
him over to a common policeman on
charge of forgery. He was dragged off to
the City Hail. where Chief Crowley at first
ordered a charge OF forgery placed against
him, but afterward rescinded the order
and Lichsten stein was ordered to 20.
Lichtenstein is justly indignant at his
treatment. and is firmly resolved to make
the Bank of California answer for 1t. He
places the value of his temporary degra-
d ation at $4,000 which be hopes to extract
from the bank by legal process.

crowded streets of a city, where il is often
necessary to pull horse suddenly to q
slower pace in order to avoid unexpected
distractions or the uncertain maneuvers
OF that class of Iimid pedestrians who
stand and dodge back and forth in front
OF an approaching horse, leaving the rider
or driver In doubt as to what they intend
TO do. If the animal is not readily respon-
sive to guidance aud control by the reins
serious accidents often occur thus.
A snug cbeckrein will render the pulling

when a sudden stop must be made, and.
as usually happens, the animal has not
been trained to stop short at the word

comes necessary. Such is the "horse-con-
trolier," which acts by pressing down on
the cartilage of the nose when the reins
are pulled upon. AS a horse cannot
breathe through his mouth, this operates
to cut off his wind, and he stops perforce.
Another similar trick to pulling, and
which owes its existence. usually, to faulty
training, Is that Of pulling upon one rein.
OF ali tricks horse can have this is,
perhai s, The most exasperating. 1t is
surprising how even the most inveterate
lover Of the species can come to hate a
horse that does it. You can tolerate a

arms ache and he goes stavlng ahead when
you desire to drive along in more lesurely
fashion; but the horse that constantly
sheers off to right or left unless driven
with one rein tighter than the other, is a
creature to be despised and rejected of
men and dreaded by women.
