HABITS OF HORSES.
bome Queer Tales Heard by a Reporter
ir n Street Car Barn.

ir n Street Car Barn.
Did you know, boys, that you can
teach an intelligent colt or horse to do
almost anything by patiently making
him go through the performance many
times, day after day? That is the way
the circus trick horses and ponies are
taught. After colt is once trained to
perform variety of tricks he becomes
very valuable. Circus shows will buy
such horses at big prices. A few years
ago a boy in western Pennsylvania
trained colt to perform as he had
seen horses perform in shows, and
when the next circus came around the
proprietor gave him $500 for the ami
NAL. The New York Times gives an
account of a street car horse named
Charley, on the Central Cross-town
road in that city. Bill Smead had
driven Charley for long time, but
Bill was discharged one day and new
driver took charge of the horse. The
account says:
All went we'll until the corner Of
Broadway and Seventeenth street had
been reached. Then Charley stopped,
turned about, faced the driver, elevated
his upper lip and opened his jaws. The
man dropped the lines in horror. Re-
inforced by the conductor he tried to
get Charley to ''tend to business but
the beast was obdurate and had to be
taken to the barn, the incident causing
some little blockade of travel. The
next day the horse went out under
fracb on
repeated his previous antics. You
fellers dunno how to drive a hoss,
that's all, remarked Bill, who put in
his leisure loafng near the barns
''1f you can make him go you can
have your place back" responded an
official, who overheard the criticism.
Hitch him up" said Bill, ''and I'll
do the trip on schedule time, you bet. -
While waiting for the car to come
out Bin went into a neighboring gro
cory for moment. Returning, he
took the lines, and the outfit went gayly
on the cross-town trip, one of the pas
sengers being company detective who
was curious to see how Bill would do it.
AS usual, at Broadway and Seven
teenth streets, Charley whirled about
and laughed with equine joy in the
face of his old comrade.
They didn't treat you right, did
they, Charley?" said Bill. "But it's all
o. X. now.''
And thereat he pulled from his
pocket two Jumps of sugar. These the
horse eagerly seized, and, turning in
his traces, resumed the pull toward the
North river. 1t developed that for
over eighteen months the animal had
been fed with sugar by his driver
whenever they reached the spot indi-
Gated on the west bound trips.
Another horse, an iron gray, makes
three regular trips without protest, and
cheerfully pulls the biggest sort Of
loads But he absolutely refuses to do
any more. He has been whipped,
coaxcd, urged, petted and sworn at, but
without avail. So much work for SO
much hay and oats and water is his
motto. He is so firm in his resistance
to what he thinks the tyranny of cap
ital over labor that the boys at the
stable call him Gompers.

ailleras. On the 9th of September we
teft the village of Cerrito, on the west
ern side, accompanied by five stout
ourros and a couple of lusty-lunged
nuleteers. Their lungs were the only
active organs they possessed. Jose
was lazy, but Isaza, a typical specimen
Of the Mozo, could scarcely keep up
with the burros.
The grant lay at the source of the
Saldana river and our object was to
work the rich auriferous sands that
Leon had reason to suppose existed
there.
On the fifth day we had reached the
San Augustln pass and camped there
for the night, high among the clouds
and snow. The next morning we be-
gan the descent at an early hour. Com
ing to a sharp turn in the narrow
mountain trail, where the space was
scarcely wide enough for a burro to
glue his feet, the active services of
1saza were required.
That leisurely gent was far behind
and'very hesitat ting in his march, con-
tinually muttering ''El Teredo'' in al
most abject fear.
Ell Teredo was noted renegade and
bandalero who had taken refuge in the
mountains, where he soon acquired
some power over the uncivilized Yutua
Indians, who lived there in all their
aboriginal primitiveness. These re
quired little persuasion to accompany
him on his depredatory excursions in
to the sparsely settled surrounding
country. The natives, with their usual
failing, shrouded him in a hazy mys-
terry in which he appeared almost SUI
perhuman.
A couple Of energetic kicks some
what enlivened Isaza, and the mules
were safely ''steered" along the ledge,
where a misstep would have precipl-
tated the unfortunate down the sheer
precipice for hundred feet or more.
Continuing to wind our way along the
steep and rocky path we were soon
surprised to find, at some distance,
evidences of the very recent passage

The Business Carnival.

The business carnival last night,
which was given under the auspices
of the ladies of the Presbyterian
church, proved profitable to them
and to the business men represented
in the spectacular procession, and
pleasant to all in attendance. With
scarcely an exception every business
enterprise was represented by some
young lady or gentleman, arrayed
in a manner appropriate to the line
of trade being set forth, and each
one carrying besides a banner with
the firms name as the legend in
scribed thereon. The costumes
were unique and amusing, The
grand pageant brought every pdrtic-
ipant in plain view of everybody and
all had opportunity to note the
striking character of the costumes.
Refreshments were served. The en-
tertainment was the first of the kind
ever given here and everybody was
pleased.

which some of the famous flyers OF

Thursday night. When Clarence
Hare entered the Jail that evening to

son hid in the corridor. The door
from the corridor into the jailer' s
residence was left open after the off
Ger had seen, as he supposed, the
prisoners go into their cages. AS he
was locking the meta compartments
johnson quietly went out the unfas-
tened corridor door and made. his
way to the street And that is
the last of johnson, so far as those
in authority know This is the first
escape from Jail here in many years.
No great effort will be made to re
capture johnson. The philosopic
way of looking at it is that the coun-
ty is we'll rid Of him.
