BAD HABITS OF COLTS
Trick Once Learned Becomes
Harder to Break Each Day.
Example Cited of City Man Who At
tempted to Approach Head of Young
Animal of Extremely Nerv-
Gus Disposition.
(By J. NJ. BELLY

Nbl u. MI oGLAN-(
The secret of breaking a colt prop
erly is to keep him from learning bad
habits, not curing him of them after
they have been acquired, although the
latter must be done If he has acquired
them, providing you want a we'll
broken horse.
A bad trick once learned soon be-
comes a set habit, becoming harder
to cure each day if not stopped in the
earliest stages,
Let me cite an example: A neigh
Dor of mine has a very fine colt that
he put in the hands of a trainer to
break to light harness, double and
single, and also the saddle.
The trainer knew his business and
in a months time the colt was fairly
steady in harness and under the
saddle, but, being of a nervous dispo
sition and rather suspicious of human
beings, had to be handled very care
fully.
He was especially wher
anyone approached his head, whether
he was tied in Ills stall or to a hitch
ing post, and inclined to run bach
against the halter or bride II ap
preached too hurriedly.
The trainer-a real horseman-wht
noticed all peculiarities of the man!
different horses he handled from tim'
to time, was extremely careful not t.
excite this particular colt and Ger
tainly not when he was tied.
Consequently, the colt, although
showing signs of nervousness at times
never attempted to really pull bacl
and break away.
The trainer left, after his work wa
done, and soon afterward a city cousin
. good fellow, but no horseman, pai'
my neighbor a visit and he was give
the colt to ride.
Now, although the city man was n
horseman in the strict acceptance o
the word, yet he was devoted to horse

TOO ROUGH FOR HIM
SOUTHERN NEGRO QUITS THE

Hanging and Fire in Jail Altogether
Too Realistic for Darkey Who

A negro in a southern county seat

day of the hanging came and Rastus
was taken to the scaffold in the court
house yard. The hood was slipped
over his head and the moose adjusted.
Just as the sheriff was about to
spring the trap a cry of "FTre!" was
heard, and smoke was seen coming
from the courthouse windows. The
officials and spectators, forgetting
their task, rushed to help fight thu
blaze. Anyway, Rastus was tied and
could not escape without aid.
During the fire another negro wan.
dered into the courthouse yard and
passed the scaffold. He thought he
recognized a familiar form standing
