cow-ponies you might az wen go home
ana take q rest for he's gOin' TO Keep
you guessin' as to where he'll be stand
In the next moment
well, II you're lucky enough TO fool
him you get around, on what you'd
call his left side, and about as quick
as you can say Jack Robinson you
put your foot into that stlrrup and get
into the saddle. There's a case where
10 hesitate Is fatal, for II
you ever miss your fOotin',
well, you're good for holdln'
down a nice little white cot for a few
'sun-ups,' After you get into the sad
die, hold tight and don't let the beast
get the idea into his head that he's the
master. or you're a goner, Then leave
the rest to him. II you can only Keep
your nerve with you for about three
minutes you've got the ouss broken In
TO the cayuse stage, that Ia for Few
minutes. Then you want to give him
length OF rope for short time and go
through the game again, inside OF a
few trials the bronoho viii be az meek
as lamb, that Is, from our point OF
view or course, you know that there
are fractions lambs.
That's about all, pardner, there Is TO
breakln broncho; YOU see there's
more In lookin' at one beln' broken
than tellln' about how It's done"
you speak as though one of those
bronchos had human intelligence" said
the reporter,
well by gosh, they have" added
Franz starting at the remark why,
II you were to be with them out on the
plains you'd mighty soon find out that
anne OF EN- can do all but talk. Why,
one Of EN- can tell the moment you APP
preach EN- whether you can ride or not,
or II you're afraid OF EN-. And as to
schemes to get rid of you why, they
think Of schemes that you and ] would
never dream they could. You take, for
instance, one of them Texas cow-po-
MES. Why, one Of those ousses'll let
you get into the saddle as If they were
honored and tickled to death TO have
you there and the moment they spot a
tree they II take TO II on the run, ana
| the first thing you know they'll make q
run under low limb and II you're not
onto the game youll find yourself lay
in hat on your back on the ground
while the pony viii be givin' you the
horse laugh, maxim for the tall timber.
That Is, Of course, II you don't get hit
hard enough 20 let you lie there until
you either die or some one finds you.
zone Of them animals can tell an In
| dian a mile away, and the way they
fight shy OF the reds would make you
smile. You see, there's reason for
this. A cowboy breaks pony for the
same reason a father breaks a bad boy.
| It's got TO be done for the ad'sgood, and
he alnt gon' to do him any real harm
II he can get results by kindness; but
an Indian--why, they just delight In
half KILN a poor broncho. Why, them
fellers when you've got 'em broke are
| like q brother to YOU. On the plains
they're the best friend you've got, and
there's not one thing they won't do TO
| help you out, and no complalnin' from
'em, either.
II res amber one time out West a
tenderfoot was tryin' TO break cow
pony Wen Of course, he'd read book
on how to break horses, and because
| he couldn't get the results the book
| promised he had 'greaser' lasso the
| animal about the neck and hind foot;
then he threw him and pegged him, and
began to beat the poor beast to death
| In anger.
Another trick forgot to tell you
about them ponies Is their fayorit'
method OF brushin' up against walls sc
as 10 break your leg You see, IN,
beast don't know you're his friend wher
you're breakin' him, but once that HI
finds that you mean well by hm-well
there amt no such thing goin' TO hap
| pen.
AS TO your question as TO what IA
the best style OF rdin', well, that's a
matter Of saddle, but you take Col
Cody, who knows az much about rldin
as any person on this little ball Of mud
| Well, you'll notice he sits his saddle
as closely as you would chair; as
| say. it's a matter of taste. But as e
who are the greatest riders In the
world, we'll you can put bet down FOL
me that they're West"
Franz then turned to take his hand
In breaking a few more ponies while
the reporter refused 10 accept the invl.
