STARTING A eALKY HORSE.
The singular Experience of stephen Gar
ziebank of Centre, VI.

Il met In Broadway yesterday morn
ing" said Colonel Calliper, my old
friend Stephen Gazzlebank OF Stork-
VILE Center. VT. and Stephen and ] had
a good laugh over his experience with
the balky horse. As a matter Of fact,
that was a sort OF a joke on stephen,
but that didn't lessen his enjoyment Il
il. because Stephen is one Of those hap
Ply men who can enjoy a joke even when
IL is one on themselves. This horse OF
Stephens was a good enough horse In all
but his baking. and so stephen man
aged to get along with him. He didn't
want to sell him, because he didn't want
to sell anybody a balky horse, and then
/ don't know as he could have sold him.
because everybody in Storkville Center
knew the horse perfectly. So stephen
used To drive him and when he baked.
why, stephen would either wait for him
to go on or he'd do the best he could in
one way to get the horse started.
But finally stephen made up his
mind To try to cure the horse Of the
habit entirely. because il was nothing
but a habit He wasn't a bad or vicious
horse and Stephen thought II he could
once get him TO understand that III he
baked a force greater than his own
would be brought promptly To bear on
him the minute he stopped. he'd stop
stopping n keep going like other
horses.
What stephen SET out 70 do was to
move him by the explosion OF gunpow-
der. He had a very powerful set OF haT-
ness made that would STAN "a heavy
strain, and running back from IL. one
on each side. something like n pair OF
short shafts. he had two short. stout
sticks that, about two feet back OF the
horse. were set INTO a solid block Of
which Stephen called The resist
nnna hlanL GeaH a.. e. 80
plode a suitable charge Of powder
against the resistance block. which
would be thus thrown forward, carry
ing with IL. OF course, the side arms
attached to the harness. and thus push
the horse suddenly and irresistibly for
ward. The effect o be the same as
though 40 men could have somehow
pushed on the wagon all at once. only
here the powder would be applied not
only effectively put instan;aneously.
n would. moreover. be completely un-
der the control of one man, the driver
namely, Stephen.
stephen carried undo his wagon a
six-foot length cut on the end OF a CO
wide timber. and when the eNploder was
used the rear end of this timber was
dropped 10 the ground. and the timber
was so adjusted that the front end was
brought near TO the face Of the resist
ance block. With the timber thus
placed. the rear end firmly set In the
ground. the force Of the explosion could
be exerted in only one direction. and
that was forward. OF course. there was
more or less waste Of the force. all
around sidewise. but stephen expert
mented until he had got a powder
charge more than sufficient To nov
the horse. with this waste taken into ac-
count.
