Why does a man seated neal the
neck of a horse travel faster than one
seated hear his tail? For it has been
proved In very striking fashion that
he does. But why? The reason is
really very simple, and yet when little
Tod Sloane, the jockey, came forward
with practical proof nobody seemed to
be able to explain it. A horse to move
forward at all must thrust at the earth,
and the chief force of this forward
thrust mi from his hind legs. II
the chief weight is just yer or close
to the %thrusting power, naturally it d.
minishes it's efficiency; instead OF
thrnsting the horse forward a portion
Of 1t is wasted In lifting the weight of
the jockey at every stride. - Strand

60 NE or my favorite buffalo hunt
a " ing horses vas a small o a
W. OF large Indian pony which 1
got from a Ute Indian. AS
this horse came from Utah, | named
him Brigham. after the prophet. Dur.
ing the construction of the Kansas Pa
ciic railroad, now the Union Pacific, in
1867 the construction of the end of the
track got into the great buffalo coun-
try, and at that time the I~ndians-the
Sioux, Cheyennes, Comanches and Arap-
ahoes-were all on the warpath. 1t
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
meat-that Is, the buffalo, deer and an
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the buffaloes so that they
could have fresh meat to eat. This
was a little more difficult job than
they thought. as the Indians were con-
testing every mile of railroad that was
being built into their country. Besides
having military escorts to guard the
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing of the road carried a rife with him
as well as a pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on t."
ground neal him. as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction of that road in
1867 was nearly a continuous fight,
and 1t was dangerous for a man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring it into camp so that
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two Of these men were
killed by Indians while doing SO, and
the others gave up the job.
At that time | was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan, and had quite q
reputation as a buffalo hunter. Some
one old the main contractor that If he
could get me l would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. OF
course l could not accept, although he
made me a very tempting financial
offer, without permission of the mill
tary department commander, General
Sheridan.
The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, aud after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
scented that it would solve one of the
main labor problems in the great work
of constructing the great transconti-
mental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave of absence for the
purpose was given me with the un-
~derstanding that in cas- of an impor-
tant outbreak l should resume the du-
ties of my position. AS rowing In
dams generally followed the herds of
buffaloes, l was really in a certain
sense performing scouting duty also.
l started in killing buffaloes for the
Union Pacific railroad. l had a wag-
on with four mules, n driver and
two butchers, all brave. well armed
men, myself riding my horse Brigham.
