An Incident which Indicates That Some
Horses Have n Much Sense n Some Men.
An old white horse attached TO an empty
express wagon baked at the cor
ner Of Twenty-sixth street and Broadway
the other day and for three-quarters Of
an hour successfully resisted every at
tempt TO make him move on. The driver
belaborcd him with whip, tugged at the
reins and yelled, but to 40 purpose. Then
a crowd gathered and began 10 give advice
freely. one man seized the horse by the
ears, another grasped the bride and be-
gan to pull. while two or three others
braced themselves against the animals
headquarters and tried TO push him for
ward. The creature didn't move foot.
one wise fellow blindfOlded the horse
with the drivers coat. after which he
declared the animal would move right
along, but the plan was dismal failure.
Another insisted that If a plug of tobacco
were forced into the creatures mouth
he would be all right, saying which he
thrust big piece Of navy twist between
the horses jaws. The stubborn beast
shook the dose from his mouth and re-
manned immovabie. Meanwhile the crowd
continued 10 grow, and every newcomer
had a plan of his own for solving the
problem, which by this time had eifectu-
ally stopped the movement of vehicles
I'm Broadway for two or three blocks in
either direction. The horse was apparent
ly there TO stay. The driver was in de-
spair. The four or five policemen who
had been drawn 10 the scene by tho
gathering crowd looked sheepish and puZ-
zled. A lady who had watched the scene
from the window OF a neighboring cafe
finally turned TO the gentleman accom-
panying her ana said; Go and start that
horse. These men never can do IT. They
don't understand. How shall you do il?
Simply take a halter, walk up 10 the
horse quietly and hitch IL 10 his bit ring.
Take the other end in your hand. speak
10 the horse gently but firmly. and lead
him away" The gentleman went out
and borrowed a hitching strap from
hacbman, and the crowd ieered him as he
approached the baking horse lie at
tached the strap 10 the bit ring as d.
rected patted the animal kindly on the
neck and took the end OF the halter In
his hand. With word OF command he
started TO lead the way. and the horse
followed as promptly and obediently as
II that were exactly wat he had been
waiting for all the while. The crowd
stood back i'm wonderment and admira-
ton. Some of the superstitious ones de-
cIared that the animal had been hypne-
tized.
"There is no trick about IT," explained
the little woman iaughingiy to her friends
as the gentleman reioined the party In
the cafe. with all those half-witted men
fooling around him the horse probably
felt that he knew as much as they did.
What he needed was neither beating nor
yelling, but the presence OF master.
To a horse as 10 other animals the hitch
ing strap. rope or chain is the token Of his
own subsection The sight OF 1t Will sub

j. A. johnson chaperoned the last de-
tachment, on the Omaha, which got
under way at $40.
The crowd of journalistic tourists was
so large that arrangements could not be
made with any one road to carry the
whole party. Nevertheless, every one
of the travellers started Off in joyous anti
cipation of a pleasant and profitable trip.
