A Crafty Broncho.

THE broncho is rat Of horse"
with eve nook a hammer neck
a short hin and an easy. looping gait
He is supposed To have descended
chiefly from Spanish horses brought
to this country in the seventeenth
century. Privations and cold have
reduced him in size, stripped him of
all purely ornamental parts and quail
tiles. and developed his capa city for
endurance.
Bronchos are commonly intelligent,
but they are also apt to be vicious.
In fact, the breaking which they
tised upon many generations Of their
ancestors. could hardly fail to leave
them vicious. The wild west shows
have made the buck jumping of a
broncho familiar to people almost
everywhere.
Nor Is il easy to make them go in
harness. There was once hitched to
light roadcart belonging TO a west
erner a pony that had been ridden
for some years. Many precautions
were taken in the way of straps and
ropes. so that kicking was rendered
impossible. Finally. when all was
ready, the owner mounted the cart
and drove quietly out of his YARD.
A neighbor watched him as far
down the road as he could see, and
no old horse could have gone more
steadily or better than this broncho.
But, as it soon appeared. he was only
biding his opportunity. When he
came to bridge over a river, which
he had often crossed, the pony, with
out the least warning. jumped the
rail, taking man and cart along with
him, and dropped the whole thing in
the flood.
1t was in the spring, and ice was
running. but with some difficulty the
horse, as we'll as the man. was res
cued-and this was his last appear
ance in harness

addition for other expenditures, the
amount depending, of course, on the
age of the individual. Such Il plan
would treat all alike. whether the
parents were rich or poor. But We
are discussing a practical situation.
and boys Of well-to-do families will
always have more money to spend
than boys of families who are not SO
aHlucmt. believe. therefore, that
allowances should be determined on
the basis of social demands.
How early should we begin with
an allowance? Psychological tests
give us the information that only a
few boys and girls under six years
of age can name the pieces Of money
up to and including half dollar.
Surely. then. IL children do not han
die enough money UP to six years of
age to make them familiar with the
names Of the coins, it would be rather
absurd to give allowances be-
fore this age. Between six and eight
is good time to begin, because saving
through the school bank is intro
duced to the child during his early
school years.
Should girls receive the same al
Iowance as boys? l should say the
girls and boys should receive the
same allowances up to that period
in a boys life when his expenditures
are necessarily larger than those OF
his sister.
And while we are on the matter Of
allowances, let me say that there
ought to be plan whereby each
member of the family makes con-
tribut'~--, in work for which there

THATS what the headmaster of a
i big school thinks about the
question of allowances. And here's
the opinion of an earnest mother in
a small home:
Dear Miss Robinson:
'In answer to your s. .. s. con
corning allowances for children. ]
would state yes. by all means. even
if it isn't large. In our case We
didn't have much to give. but started
the boys. from about ten years of
age. at so cents a week. When they
started high school they were given
IS cents and the last two years of
high 81 per week. They had extra
money for lunch and other school ex-
penses, but you would be surprised
to see how they saved some 1t and by
Christmas had enough to buy gifts
for all and even put some in the bank.
1t makes them happy and independ-
ent. Any money they earned during
that time went for extra clothes they
could not have otherwise. 1 would
deprive myself, If necessary, to give
them an allowance. / think it is
very important: it makes them freer
in every way, and you can leave your
purse around the house without miss
ing a quarter, dime or nickel out of

Dear Elsie Robinson:
I'm not sure but that the ills of
the allowance system outweigh the
benefits of Willie's learning to use
money properly co. keeping his own
