age case will prove efficient if applied
intelligently.
How to Pull on the Lines.
If you are driving get we'll over the
horse to pull on the lipes-to pit your
strength and ingenuity against his
strength alone. Most persons lean
away back the moment a horse starts
running. Don't. You place yourself
at disadvantage by getting farther
away from the horses mouth, the full
srum, as it were.
Instead, lean we'll forward, and
bracing yourself firmly on your feet,
grasp the lines as far over the horses
loins as you can without endangering
your balance. You will find that you
can get we'll out over the horse and
still run no risk of being drawn over
the dashboard. This position will
give you easy control of the lines and
you win be able to feed them out
and pull them in quickly at will.
Do not pull steadily on the reins.
Give and take with the horse. A
steady pull will break down q very
strong wrist in a very little while.
Your object is to nurse your wrist
strength. 1t is all important to make
it last until you have tired out the
horse, or got the better of him by
pull and you throw away your
strength, for 1t cannot stop horse.
A steady pull soon hardens and
numbs a horses mouth, just as con-
tinuous pain deadens. But a give-and-
take pull is akin to the jumping tooth
ache in effect. Because there is an IN
terval between jumps, the ache never
deadens. So with the give-and-take
pull. Every other moment or so, the
horse, after one painful sensation in
his mouth has passed and given place
to quiet, suddenly feels the bit cut
ting into the tender flesh again. And
Just as dripping water wears away a
stone. so this ever recurring pain will
gradually have its effect-will bring
the horse back to its senses and
usually under control.
see-sawfng.
See-sawing often works wonders.
Many a horse, in running away, liter
ally gets the bits in his teeth: hence
the expression. A little see-sa wing will
compel him to loosen his hold on the
metal. Then, by further vigorous see
saving send the metal cutting viciously
into the flesh, first on one side of the
mouth. then on the other; and be sure
that you give a loose rein on the side
on which you are not supposed to pull
In this way you also conserve your
wrist strength.
Besides tending to stop the horse
through pain, see-sawing jerks him
more or less out of his course by send
ing his head suddenly from side TO
side.

When Mr.. Masqueray, whose repu-
tation as a designer is international
took up the work, he found that moth
ing had been determined on except that
in general way the main buildings
should be located on three avenues haV-
ing the same axis. With this knowl-
edge in hand. he went out to the site
selected for the fair. He found wooded
hills standing where several of the
buildings now are, valleys where road
ways run, and a crooked and erratic
stream. called the Des Peres, now dry
as 2 hone. now with fourteen feet OF
rushing water. winding in and about
the grounds. But towering above ev-
erything else was the ridge on which
FESTIVAL Hall and the Colonnade and
Terrace OF States now stand.
The architect must seize on the piV-
otal point. as well as the general. Mr..
Masqueray saw in the hill architectural
victory and straightway he planned to
make it the great focal point of the en-

either end of the hill, equi- distant

But why do we want them there

Still the axis was not complete; be-

here was the proper place to call the
worlds attention to the states and
territories embraced within the bounds
of the Louisiana Purchase. He got
down the map and found that there
were fourteen, seven for each hiatus
and he was saved. If there had
been thirteen or fifteen, there would
| have been no balance, and probably
no Terrace of States.
He went to the authorities again.
Let us put UP an imposing colon

requires not a little strength. 1t is an
effectual way of stopping runaway.
To throw a horse, drop one line, CEN
ter all your strength on the other, aud,
having grasped it as close to his mouth
as you safely can, give it sharp, nard
pull-your very hardest. And here's
hoping that his head all suddenly comes
back sidewise and next Instant he falls
on his knees or completely between the
shafts. During the respite, If no one
runs up to your assistance, your wife or
child can clear the buggy with safety
while you are still pulling hard on the
line. Or, If you are alone, all you need
to do is to leap clear of the standing
vehicle, which. mark you. is a far diff
ferent proposition than that of Jump
ing from a moving one,
For Saving, throwing-in fact,
for the better control of a horse at all
times--I would advise a four-ring snaf-
fle bit. When the horse behaves HIM
self, the bit is comfortable. When he
gets ugly. 1t can be made an exquisite
instrument of torture.
Some horses are known among horse
men as pullers. When under control
they tax a strong mans wrists. Run
ming away, they are the despair Of
strong men. If you find that you have
q puller, your play is not to pit your
pulling powers against his, but to throw
him.
Running the Horse Into Something.
If your horse is running away on a
country road, where you will have a
comparatively clear course hold that
under ordinary circumstances you
should let him run for 1t and tire
himself out, which he will eventually.
OF course, you can hasten this eventu-
atty by judicious pulling. There will
be very little danger of the vehicle
turning over on the average country
road, for the bends are not sharp
enough.
In the city, on the other hand, if
you find that see-sawing is Of no avail
and you cannot throw him, run the
beast into something. Try to make
that something heavy, like the rear
end of truck or stone wall, or a
sturdy tree. The only thing you will
be likely to hurt Is the horse. The
truck surely wifi not be injured, and
you won't, for the horse will get all
the force of the compact and act as a
buffer for you. At most, you may get
a jolt.
If you pursue this policy the chances
of your horse claiming victims in the
crowded streets will be lessened for
by running into something you nat
urally shorten his career.
It will frequently be hard for even a
cool head to choose between one or
more courses to follow with a run
away A case in point is that Of an
American who found his horse run
ming away down steep hill In Venez-
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-06-19

Some forty years ago, when first 1
began to handle horses, 1 asked my
father:
What shall I do if a horse starts to
run away?"
Sit tight, keep your mouth shut, and
trust in the Lord" was his laconic re-
Spouse.
Prolonged experience has taught me
that there is no better general rule for
application in runaway of any de-
scription.
To sit tight is of prime Importance.
The man who jumps from his saddle
or from a vehicle is very little the bet
ter side of an idiot. A runaway horse
gets over ground at about the speed
of an accommodation train; and how
many men would think of risking life
and limb in a leap from train? The
average man, in jumping from troll
ley car after il has slowed down and
before it has stopped, is put to some
difficulty to retain his footing. What
hope, then, would he have of maintain
ing his equilibrium after leaping from
madly careening buggy or runabout,
or q back of a flying horse?
Suppose he does alight on his feet.
next instant he will be rolling heels
over head along the street, to be pick
ed UP unconscious and bleeding, WITH
a broken leg and fractured skull,
some moments later by passersby, for
his momentum will be such that he
will strike the ground with terrific
force and only a miracle will save him
serious, If not fatal, injury.
Ny two-score years of observation
have taught me this one fact above all
others-that four out of every five per-
sons who are either seriously injured
or killed in runaways have brought
calamity upon themselves by failing to
sit tight. And believe your memory
will bear me out in this statement, for
I daresay it wII-recall for your bene-
fit the accounts ofNfatal runaways you
have read from time to time, and bring
out my point with startling clearness.
Never jump.
Therefore. say to the man. never
jump! You are safer on the horse OF
in the buggy where your only danger
is that it may turn over with you.
But that Is to be feared far less than
the consequences OF escaping. In the
first place, 1t happens infrequently. In
the second. IL IL does turn over, your
fall viii not be so great as II you had
jumped, and. II you are cool and quick

A Fish Tint Blows Himself Up Into
Round Ball.

A Fish Tint Blows Himself Up Into
Round Ball.
The funniest little fellow in salt
water is the puffer or swell fish. Fish
erman call him the blowhsh.
When he is swimming around at
ease, with nothing to alarm him, he
looks queer enough, for the skin Of
his abdomen is all loose and wrinkled,
and he has such funny little tail
and such ridiculous little fms and
such a big. three cornered head that
he looks entirely absurd. His mouth
instead Of being big and gaping as
most fish mouths are, is only a tiny
round hole at the end OF a pointed
eonical snout. Out of this circular
mouth protFude big teeth, like those
of a rabbit
He would be about as homely fish
as could be made If IL were not for
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver coloring that play all over him.
But queer as he looks when he is at
ease, It is only when he is frightened
or excited that he becomes really
funny. If he Is hooked, for instance,
he comes TO the surface grinding
those protruding teeth so that the
sound can be heard good many feet
away. And then, as soon as the hand
touches him, he begin to grunt
swells up a bit, till within a few mo-
ments he has pulled himself so full
OF air that he is quite round and firm,
like a bail. So thoroughly does he
distend himself with afr that when
the fishermen hurl him at the water
with all their force, as they often do,
he will bounce just like rubber ball
II he is dropped into the water
after blowing himself full OF air, he
floats on II az lightly as thistledown,
and he will stay that way until he has
assured himself that danger has gone
by. He does the same when he is
pursued BY other fsh. And as he
fioats almost entirely out Of water,
with only little BIT % his bard, spiny
body sunk under the surface. very few

more. Your one play is to see-saw
furiously in an effort to make him
raise his head to its normal position
Formerly the one great fear of the
rider was that he might be dragged.
There is little danger of such a thing
nowadays. Women's riding habits are
now purposely made of cloth that will
tear under the least strain; and If
your stirrup is large enough your foot
cannot possibly become fastened in
it. See to it that the stirrups are
amply loose all around your feet and
you need give them no further
thought.
Precautions Against Runnways.
In the case Of a riding horse the best
precaution against runaway is not to
mount beast that is a thoroughbred.
Such a horse Is bred for one thing-and
one thing only--to run. 1t will usually
run whenever it hears another horse
coming UP behind or sees one a little
In advance. A three quarter or half
thoroughbred gives as much pleasure,
has as much style and is infinitely safer.
A woman or child especially should be
allowed to ride no other.
This rule also holds good with driv-
ing horse; and an additional precaution
is not to drive horse that you know
has run away. and never drive again
one that has run away with you. What
a horse has done once ii will probably
do again, particularly when 1t comes
to running away.
