A Balky Horse
METHODS EMPLOYED TO MAKE
STOPPING EQUINE FOR
GET II

The other afternoon the particular
attention OF carload OF home-goers
was called to the actions of a balliy
horse on King street, and to the more
balky actions of its drivers, who hap
pened to be Il Chinarnan.
While II Is true that n balky horse
is one of the most detestable things
that draws the breath of life, still the
beating of him with IA whip or club
does not tend to relieve the situa-
ton.
One method that has been used sue
cessfully TO start Il balky horse is to
pick up one of his front feet and
hammer on the shoe with rock,
This operation diverts his attention
from his balliy condition. and the
chances are that he will forget about
It and move on the the word of COM
mand.
Another trick that has been tried
to change the mind of balky horse
Is to fuss" with the harness. espc-
tiully the bride.
The balky horse is generally caus,
ed by the balky man, and the pull
back horse by Il fool-man around the
horses head. A horseman suggests
the following method OF treatment In
handling a pull-back horse: Pass
the end OF the tie-rope or halter over
munger and tic to one fo@e-foot sc
that the pull is equal on head and
foot, This will prove temporary
remedy, but the only real cure I,
kind treatment which will win the
confidence and respect of the ami
mails, Some men are tending horse,
who are not fit to drive pigs.

ed cable this morning saying that the
Emperor of China is dead. No details

a heir presumptive according to two
imperial edicts issued after the an
nouncement OF the death of the en-

1t is reported the Emperor's nephew
Prince Pu vi, three year old son of
his brother, Prince Chun, was secret
ly crowned emperor. The report can

cession of vi because it gives her an
opportunity of continuing her grip on
the throne Prince Pu I4un is also
mentioned for the throne. Undoubt-
edly he is the favorite of the foreign
residents of the empire on account OF
his acquaintance with the Occidental
European customs Pu Lun was Chi
