KNOWS HIS MASTERS MIND.
One Who Understands Horses Gives
Them Credit for Mind Reading.

Ono Who Understands Horses Gives
Them Credit for Mind Reading.
"Horses are almost as supcrstitious
as men. but, unlike men, they can be
reasoned with and made broad minded,
liberal, free-thinking philosophers. The
horse Is the nOblcst animal that walks
the earth. lie has most of the good
traits of the human race. with some of
the bad ones" 1t was Prof. Bartholo.
new who spoke in this exalted strain
about the horse.
when a youth l was a cowboy and
one of the rough riders of the West.
Like other cowboys, l delighted In a
bucking broncho, but I soon learned
that the widest horse can be tanned in
an hour so that he will follow his rider
about and let himself be ridden without
a struggle. | have tanned hundreds of
horses fresh from the prairics, and
never failed to make Il complete con-
quest In a short time. ! treat horses
as intelligent beings. and after man.
ncr ask them II they can do things.
Often they refuse, and again they say
as plainly as If they used words: why,
yes. can do that and they do 1t.
IL train my horses IN classes. I
take a dozen and ask each to do Ger.
tain thing. Some will start blindly,
while others will step up brlskly and
say. Yes. can do that Then I ask
them to do something else, and then
those who are quickest at first will
halt, while those who made no re.
sponse before are anxious to do tho
thing. Thus soon learn the class Of
work each Is especially fitted for and
develop them along their special lines.
In this way they are just like men.
Now. ! have tried numerous ways to
mako a living outside Of horses. but
always fail and drift back to my hobby
"ltOrscs are like men In the amount
OF courage they can muster up. II
want horse to do extra long jumps
select II crcaturG that Is finely built and
has all the physical qualities, but per.
haES he Is coward and afraid to leap

Live and Learn.

The Washington Star has heard of
Il young lady who went into the country
full OF II disposition to be interested In
rural sights and sounds.
ON the second day she saw n farmer
walking slowly between the rows of
his garden and picking something into
Il tin dish She went near, but could
not solve the mystery.
excuse my ignorance she said, po-
litely, "but ! can't see any fruit on
these vines"
"NO?" answered the farmer.
"NO, / don't see anything but leaves
ana flowers. What are You picking ?"
"'Tater bugs" said the farmer.

"But my names Binks," protested

the chief. "Go through him Bill and

There is no need of spinning out the

was all very unfortunate. He came

the neighbors don't understand 1t vet.
They shake their heads and say:
"It's very strange IL he's so innocent
why he was locked up. When the DO.

"Fm not sorry a Bit" said Mrs. u.
