A Mild Asarnered Man's Simple Method of
 Curing Ba1lxiness.
 A5 least 20 minutes had been expend- cd in fruitless efforts to make the stub born horse move. Hitehed to bulky delivery wagon, he stood directly in tho pathway of traffic at the crowded corner of Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street. The animal was large, apparently we'll fed and not overworked. There were no evidences of disability 1t was simply Q ease of baIk.
 The driver had exhausted his persua. si7e powers and sat quietly on his seat, the half dozen men who had been tugs ging a5 the wheels of the wagon had de. sisted from their intellectual exertions, the knowing individual who sought to coax the animal with a whiep of hay had throw down the untempting bait in disgust, and the daft fellow who es. sayed to twist tho horse's tail had man. aged to get away without being kicked, when q mild hammered gentleman, silk hated ana kid gloved, came upon the soeEe
 Qaietly pushing aside the impatient atraob car driver, who wanted to build 8 fire under fbo animal, tho gentleman gently s5yoked the horse's neck with one gloged hand, whilo with the other he picked up the baked ereature's right foot, bending 1t bp1fs and holding it firmly.
 Kodding to the driver. he said. "Now 90 ahead. ''
 The driver f1ourished bis whip and said e 'langl' Tho horse instinotively started, and, finding that its powers of iooomotion were gone, became restive. fhe gentleman then released the im- priaoned foot. which tho animal imme. diately put into action by trotting rap idly down the street.
 After brushing few particles of dirt from his glove tho mild hammered man passed on his way, and the congestion in the street enjoyed speedy relief. = Now York Times.
