BY P. E. STAFFORD,
Horseman for Forty Years.

Some forty years ago, when first
began to handle horses, asked my
father:
what shall 1 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 vehicle is very little the bet
ter side of an idiot. A runaway horse
gets over the 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 a trolley
car after it has slowed down and before
It has stopped, is put to some difficulty
TO retain his footing. What hope then,
would he have of maintaining his equi-
iibriim after leaping from madly ca
reening buggy or runabout. or the back
of flying horse?
Suppose he does alight on his feet
The chances are 90 out of 100 that the
next instant he will be rolling heels
over head along the street, to be picked
up unconscious and bleeding, with
broken leg and fractured skull, some
moments later by passeFsby, for his mo-
mentum will be such that he will strike
the ground with terrible force and only
a miracle will save him serious, if not
fatal, injury.
My twoscore years of observation
have taught me this one fact above all
others-that four our of every FIVE per-
sons who are either seriously injured
or killed in runaways have brought Gala
nifty upon themselves by failing to sit
tight. And | believe your memory will
bear me out in this statement, for I
daresay it will recall for your benefit
the accounts of fatal runaways you have
read from time to time, and bring out
my point with startling ciearness.
Therefore, l say to the man, never
jump You are safer on the horse or
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 jumping. In the first
place. it happens infrequently. In the
second, if it does turn over, your fall
will not be so great as if you had jump
ed, and, if you are cool and quick, you
can certainly grab hold of something,
thus preventing your being hurled
through the air, Or breaking your fall.
Then, too, with the vehicle overturned
