Still Finds Life Worth Living.

Two years ago a wealthy New
Yorker was injured while swimming
and it was thought that he would never
get over the effects of the accident.
But by modern miracle of surgery
he recovered after lying for months
between life and death.
He is still confined to his bed and
will never again be able to stand Oh
his feet. The greatest luxury that he
has enjoyed since his accident came
the other day when he was allowed to
smoke cigar.
When it became certain that he
would live the question Of the place of
residence was the most important AS

Handling a Kicker.

A writer in the National Stockman
gives this method OF handling a kick
ing horse: Put on him a strong surcin-
gle and crupper, Have one ring where
the check hook comes and one eight
inches lower on the right side. Now
run strap from the lower ring to the
crupper about where the hip strap
passes through. Now take a five
eighths inch rope fifteen feet long,
fasten it to the ring at the check and
then hook through the ring in the hal.
ter and back through the lower ring in
the surcingle. Strap up his left fore
foot. This should be done in a straw
yard. Now you have him ready Take
your rope and go ahead of him a few
feet, a little to the right, and begin to
pull, Hold him steady and let him
fight this hard but keep drawing his
head to his side, and he will go down
to the ground. Now you have him
where you want him. Keep him there
until he gives up, if it takes all day.
Show him you can handle him.

GAMBLERS

Flung on The whirling cosmic wheel,
This great green sphere spins out the
game
Through alternating night and fame,
Reckless OF what the players feel
Eager, each change of luel, they mark,
With curse or prayer, OF grin or smile,
And win or lose a little while.
And then 60 back into the dark
And some lose all, dead broke and blank;
Most hedge, some plunge TO make or
break
And some win wild on every stake,
But none viii ever break the bank
by their drawn brows and quivering lips,
As their stacks slowly grow or shrink,
The looker-on might almost think
They played for money, not for chips
And one vague dread without a name,
Shadows on everybody here
BY what back stairs can we get clear,
Should the powers come to raid the game2
