trying to make him do anything just

FROM then on he was just as bad
this Spring as he was good the
Spring before All that could be got
of him was buck, fight, sulk and STAN

anything else, and after he put a
couple of boys in the hospital and come
near getting me, he was put in the

1 wasn't surprised to see him turn
out that way. If anything, I kind OF
expected it. For even though I've
seen a few what never bucked on first

Pretty soon an opening shows up,

that critter was stepped on from there
and put out before she knowed it. She

over. Flint quits him and when the

In bucking or running he'd make
you wonder if he was horse flesh or
dynamite. Just an ordinary horse to
look at, though-chunky short back
and short ankles, but with a deep
chest and a head that promised lot
either way he went.
That day run him in, throwed him
and slipped the hackamore on his
head, a name for him came to me just
as natural as though I'd been think

the jug, he had plenty of kick" in
him.
From the first Saddling he didn't
disappoint me none, for he went after
me and sure made me ride. In order
to stay 1 had to postpone tanning him
for a spell, and thought l was doing
real well to be able to do that much.
1t was just my luck that none of the
boys was around TO see me put up
such a ride on such a horse. I told
'em about it, but to the way 1t struck
me that was mighty tame compared
to how it really was, and the next
day when some of them boys happened
around just as / was climbing Brown
jug again the little son of gun just
crowhopped around and acted like he
loved me and my rigging most to
death.
He bucked at every setting each
day after that for about 10 days.
Then one day as l was going through
the corral gate to give him his daily
airing" he went to pieces" right
there at the gate. and where it was
slick with ice he fell hard md flat on

port (street car and omnibus) labor
union started a novel strike to get
the party into the spotlight and annoy
everybody.
It is called the "slow-step" strike,
and it is entirely Communist, for the
other unions have not been observ

Chauffeur and conductor have to
agree. They start a little late, make
necessary stops a little long, neglect
to gain time. make no effort to re-
move obstacles or Instructions and
wait patiently TO be the last when a
"snarl' in traffic breaks up. And
so on.
Everybody on "slow-step" car

afraid of being fined at the factory.
Shopgirls worry over possible loss of
jobs. Employees fret. Even people of
comparative leisure hate to be slow

On one car a passenger had an
idea. 1t is spreading. When asked to
pay his fare he slowly counted out
the change, hunting through various
pockets for the sum.
Other passengers amused themselves
with variations. Some handed out big
bills and fought and argued when the
conductor refused to make change.
Some were conversing earnestly when
asked to pay-to finally look up, with
vacant interest: Pardon, what does
monsieur reQuire?"
Some had forgotten their purse and
tremendously begged a loan of 5 cents
in turn from each and every fellow
passenger. These, seeking vainly for
change or hesitating with pretended
suspicion, finally refused the loans

dose of their own medicine.
More and more passengers combine
against impeding Communist en-

the car to stop-and, then, each pas

other asked, Please. stop it for met
One passenger said: II will pay

worry about it-he1l get him.
I'm at the ranch near three weeks
and coming along pretty fair with the
new bunch, when the wagons begin
pulling in. Brown jug came in with
one of the remudas and was looking
fine. Flint couldn't get to me quick
enough to tell me what a great little
horse he was and how near he could
come to being human.
Never kettled Cbucked). once" he
says, land I never saw horse getting
so much fun out of beating a critter
at her own game as he does. He sure
camps on their hooks from start to
finish"
A FEW days later had chance to
watch him at work. Flint was
a-talking away to him. and that little
son of a gun of a horse seemed to un-
derstand everything he said and talk
right back with them ears and eyes of
his. / was getting jealous Of what
Flint could do with Brown jug, and it
set me down peg to see that he sure
had me beat in teaching him some
thing. 1 was all right when it come
to starting a colt and taking the rough
off him, but after that 1 sure had to
take a back seat from Flint.
Two outfits was to start out soon
for other directions and on other
ranges 1 went along with the first.
The broncs I'd just started a few
weeks before was in the remuda and
on the trail of eddication to the ways
of the critter, the same as the bunch
I'd took along early that Spring.
In this new string of broncs / was
putting through the ropes there was
another special little horse what prom
ised to come up along with Brown
jug as a cowhorse. But | was kinda
worried. He was too good, never
bucked once and seemed to try too
hard to learn. His kind of a horse
was hard for me to make out, cause
they was few. l always felt they was
waiting for a chance to get you, and
get you good whenever that chance
showed up.

ing he might explode and tear up the

could most always talk him out of it.

THERE was IL broncs in my string.

grounds. Their teaching came right
along with the cattle, and the average
of them colts was coming fine, but
Brown jug was ahead of 'em all, and
naturally / helped him all the more.
He'd bucked only once since i tied
him down, and that second time he
didn't get to buck like he wanted to
then. He'd only made half dozen
jumps when / reached down on one
rein, pulled his head up and jerked
his feet out from under him. laying
him down again just when he wanted
to be in action the most.
That fixed him for good, and I fig
gered If he'd ever buck again it'd be
when he got cold and wanted to warm
up, or when somebody'd tickle him
with TIE spur at the wrong time.
Well, IL he did it'd only show he had
feelings and the kind of spirit that
makes the cowhorse.
1t was a couple of weeks since
Brown Jug'd bucked last. 1t was out
of his system by now, and 1 was be-
ginning to take a lot of interest in the
ways of handling the critter. I kept
him in my string long as 1 could.
