He towns an Auto.

Richard Golden, the star of Henry
w. Savage's s'King Dodo" company, is
the owner of an automobile, with
which, he gaily announced at the
beginning of the season, he proposed
to travel from city to city along the
line of the "Dodo" route. But the
machine has turned out to be as
refractory as most of it's kind and
has passed much of it's time either
in the repair shop or in express cars
in the process of being forwarded to
the comedian, who has in this way
found his auto source of mingled
annoyance and expense. A few days
ago when something went wrong with
the works" Mr.. Golden was lying
ON his back in the dusty roadway
underneath, trying to repair the
damage, when stranger drove up
and inquired what was the matter.
The comedian crawled out from his
undignified position, and the stranger
recognized him.
Hanged if it isn't "King Dodo," he
exclaimed.
cit is," responded Golden, rue
fully, "only that when think of all
I've spent on that bunch of mistakes,
want to change the spelling to
king Dough-dough."

grip of the horn of the Mexican saddle,

next instant was flying over his head.
My only emotion was one of surprise.
the thing was so unexpected | had
fancied myself a fair rider, having had
experience of farmers colts of divers
kinds. but this was something quite
new. The half breed stood looking on,
mildly interested: Jack was smiling,
but the boy was grinning with delight
"Fll take the little beast" said Jack.
But the grinning boy braced me up and
replied as carelessly as my shaking
voice would allow:
"Oh, l guess I'll manage him." and
once more got into position. But no
sooner had | got into the saddle than
the pony sprang straight up into the
air and lit with his back curved into a
bow, his four legs gathered together
and SO absolutely rigid that the shock
made my teeth rattle. 1t was my first
experience of "bucking." Then the lit
tie brute went seriously to work to get
rid of the rustling, tapping thing on
his back He would back steadily for
some seconds, then, with two or three
forward plunges, he would stop as if
shot and spring straight into the upper
air, lighting with back curved and legs
rigid as iron. Then he would walk on
his hind legs for a few steps, then
throw himself with amazing rapidity
to one side and again proceed to buck
with vicious diligence.
"Stick to himr yelled Jack through
shouts of laughter. You'll make him
sick before longp'
/ remember thinking that unless his
insides were somewhat more delicately
organized than his external appearance
would lead one to suppose the chances
were that the little brute would be the
last to succumb to sickness. To make
matters worse, wilder jump than
ordinary threw my cape up over my
head, so that | was in complete dark
ness. And now he had me at his mercy,
and he knew no pity. He kicked and
plunged and reared and bucked, now
on his front legs now on his hind legs
often on his knees, while in darkness
could only cling to the horn of the sad
die

that penetrated the folds of my envel-
oping cape, l found that the horn had
slipped to his side, so the next time he
came to his knees l threw myself off.

encomiums of the pony gathered that

were some piece of mechanism that
