erings'' which give such permanence
and gcniality to the Scottish "plow-
mans whisper never seem TO have ex-
lsted in the sister island Irish "whis
perers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with them
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous ''whisperer" of
modern tiises was James Sullivan OF
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to sullivan which he did not
permanently tame. Ordinarily restiv.
animals he would master in few min
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour. during
which time he shut the stable door an0
the signal When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side playing with him
as a child does with "A puppy. There
was no tying up Of the foreleg or any
other visible means of coercion How
bis ascendency was obtained no one
could tell.
successor Of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous
and WAS often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence But
O'Hara treated his questioners as Sam.
son did the Phlistines deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an.
swers. AT one time. for instance. he
said the secret lay in rocking" the
horse-putting one hand firmly on his
cr11pper, and with the other grasping
his shoulde" and then swaying him to
and fro, gently at first and gradually
increasing the motion TIL you throw
him. At another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear.
Both these are we'll known Jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse they
say. will be wholly subdued by being
thrown twice or thrice, and II you can
get vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that
time forward. AS to the idea that the
''whisperer" works by kindness, 1t
stands to reason that that method sup.
poses the entire education Of the ami
NAL to be in your hands. II you have
only half an hour to do your work in
