Me-, and for the last five years a con-
slant resident of this place, tells of his
different experiences, particularly with
balky horses. and claims that he can
cure the worst case.
81 have owned and used many
horses" says johnson. among which
were several balky ones. once owned
team, the best one ! ever had, that
would not work. One morning when
we were going out in the field with
heavy load we came to Il steep pitch III
the road, the nigh horse, AS usual,
fiared up and then the other. We tried
to start them by coaxing and by using
the lash but it was no use, they re-
fused to move. At last l became in
furiated and would have killed the
horses with good WILL but it was of
no avail. l left the team standing
there that morning, went back to
the house and decided to leave them
there, when thought struck me that
proved successful.
81 took wide board, and, making
it into the shape of paddle, proceeded
to the field. Once more we tried the
horses, but it was no use, they were
determined not to move. Taking the
weapon which had made struck first
one horse, then the other n few blows,
and to my great surprise they started
at a rapid rate. After that | always
kept the paddle shaped weapon in my
wagon and when they refused duty |
merely had to show it to them. l have
tried this same rule on many other
horses and l never knew it to fail. "
''What is your theory? 1t certainly
cannot be the hardness of the blow"
"My theory is that the animals are
started from fright, caused by the jar

French comic papers are having a
gay time trying to decide upon the
patron saint of cycling. There is
st. Catherine, who was broken ON
the wheel and who is the patron saint
of elderly unmarried ladies. But she
would hardly do, as wheels of today
are to bring life, not death to the
women, and besides, as she is the es-
pecial defender of ancient spinsters,
this would naturally prohibit her from
securing the alteration of all wheel
women. So probably st. German, who
came from across the western sea rid
ing cart wheel, to rid Normandy of
fearful dragon that devastated all
the land, will carry off the palm. The
old dragon died Immediately upon
seeing the man upon wheel just as
the terrible monsters of ill-health,
restlessness and prudishness vanish
from woman's life when she begins
to ride wheel. Surely st. German
deserves to be elected the patron
saint of our noble pastime. Bicycling

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As result lie has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most VIC
ious dog cannot Withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved so much Of success as q
means of defense as we'll rs fun-mak
