periencc: The stage driver found out
that lie was seriously afraid of snakes
and Immediately proceeded to make his
hair stand on end.
"Nenomous reptiles? You bet. don't
know what reptiles is, but them snakes
you can just bet your life is venomous
Why, one day was comm down here

an he misses the horses"
"That WAS lucky. But you-you"-
Lucky? You bet your life 1t was

somersaults. But tie most practical
and thorough manner is to fastcn n
cord around the body of Tie animal
close to the forelcgs, and two people
should hold the ends of the cord on
either side of the unfortunate dog.
third party armed with stout
rope takes Il position Immediately in
front of the canine acrobat and with n
measured and mastery stroke tlogs the
floor at close quarters to the dogs
nose.
At each stroke of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog spring backward the rope pass
ing under its body is jerScd upward.
and, although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault is ac-
quired in course of time. An intelli-
gent dog soon sickens of this order of
things and throws somersaults with
out the assistance OF ropes.
