THE ROUNDER.

A horse is a noble animal. That is no
news to any kid who ever went to school,
but no man can appreciate its full mean
ing until he has gone through the ex-
perience the Rounder did the other day.
One of those locoed bow-legged cow
punchers rode into town and tied his
horse to hitching post and clattered
into a saloon to get a drink. The
Rounder happened along and stopped
to pass the tine OF day with the
desperate looking cayuse. The animal
opened one eye and winked. Thus en-
couraged the Rounder approached and
putting out his hand said poor little
horse, has the brute been riding him to
death?" The animal hung his head and
a tear stole silently down his long lose
and he heaved great sigh. just then
the puncher came out and taking in the
affecting scene, says, "Hello rags!'' want
to have a rider" The horse looked up
and nearly nodded his head toward the
Rounder. Thus encouraged ne answered
yes and climbed into the saddle He
shook the the reins and said "git up
but the pony was tired. Kick him in
ribs" yelled the puncher. This was
gently done and the reins jerked some

more. The horse looked around and
seeing nothing unusual there, thought
it must be on his belly, SO he stuck his
head between his front legs to look. His
ear caught on the ground and his hind
quarters flew up before he thought of
himself. This threw the Rounder out
OF the saddle onto the animals neck
and set him back in the saddle; the horse
rea red up in front and then to make
sure he was there jumped straight up
and came down stiff legged. Then the
gang began to holler and the horse
turned around to see them. TO do this
he again got up in the air SO as rot to
jar the rider with his footsteps. The
gang was laughing and that riled the
cayuse. He made for them with fire in
his eye. He went with long~bounds and
had he got there the fate of those boys
that poked fun at the oald headed man
in the bible would not have been in it..
But the Rounder could not hang on
very well and he had to stop several
times, jump sldewise or elevate one end
or the other to get him back into place.
When he came up to the hitching post
he thought ne might not be able to jump
/ over it SO proceeded to go under. Here
his ears again interfered and again his
latter half flew up. This time the
Rounder was landed square astride the
hitching pole, which he grabbed with
both hands and continued to shout
"whoa" at the top of his voice. The
horse Strengthened around and stood
gazing at him for moment and ther
opened his mouth and laughed and al
the galoots around there followed his ex
ample Since that time the Roundel
has sworn that henceforth he'll ride in
4 chaies, or else he'll walk By.

800 cars of horses have been taken out
