He feared no bucking broncho that went

He had tanned the brute for pleasure and
could do the same again.
He had steered the porderous mail-coach
where the rocky passes sweep
In mystifyinS zig-zags close to chasms
broad and deep.
And some times he had ridden, in an eco
nomic stress
Out In 'front.' upon the pilot Of the cannon

His reckless hungering for speed oft
tempted him to seek
The JOY of toboggan down the nearest
mountain peak.
But success must have It's limit. Ere his
mad career was through,
He boasted once too often and he met his
Waterloo.
He thought no pace too devious or swift for
