C Its broken per year.

C Its broken per year. The record is re-
markable, not only fer its size, but in
itself. the simple fact of its having been
50 carefully kept during all the years. -
Mr.. Stevens can often be seen about
our streets riding gig, with some more
or less risky colt in the harness. He is
seldom thrown, and evidently understands
colt training, to be able to go SO long with
out having had his neck broken.
His attitude is familiar one, as he sits
comfortably on his seat, his right foot in
varibly dangling while his left foot
steadies him, unless, as often occurs in
some serious case, he has to plant both on
the footboard before him.
His method is TO take colt green, and
first put the bits on him, and let him
dance about as much as he wishes Later,
when the colt has become sufficiently sub
dued, he is induced to stand within the
thills, and, finally, to do IA little of the
dragging which is to eventually become
his destined work upon earth.
To cure his cults of car fright Mr..
Stevens drives from side street in be
hind departing car. The colt is at first
distracted, and dances, but seeing that the
car departs, becomes treasured, and
gradually learns not to care whether there
Is a car near, or not.
Mr., Stevens is about so years of age, and
still derives great pleasure from his work

cartel thrown down TO the boycotted Sam
Yups an extra number of police were on
the festive scene to nip any rioting IN the
bud.
AS it began to grow dark, dense crowd
assembled outside the new headquarters,
which were brilliantly illuminated and
adorned with brand-new yellow flag. AS
many of the See Yup dignitaries as could
not crowd into the balconies sat in state
within, under the chandeliers, happy in
Knowing that they were the observed OF
all beholders. Just before 6 o'clock the
frecracker display began, with such deaf
ening force that the Chinese who were
standing under the balconies fed to a re-
spectful distance, when the crowd grew
denser-indeed for about half an hour a
strong-minded, able-bodied man would
have found it impossible to force his way
up or down Clay street in that vicinity. 1t
was as much as the cars could do to force
their way through.
But the prosecuted Sam Yups did not
make any counter demonstration. They
sat pensively in their stores and let the
See Yups and their highbinder friends
make ali the noise they pleased.
