The world's best horseback rider is said to be ex-Lieut. Pietro Hu- denko, once of the imperial Russian hussars and now a waiter at the An- glo-American club of Belgrade, Jugo- Slavia. He claims never to have failed to break and tame the wildest horse. He says he does not use strength and agil- fty, but mesmerism. He takes a wild horse, slips a halter on its head, pusses a rope twice through its mouth, jumps on its back without u saddle, gets a knee grip and lets the horse rear, buck or'run’at will. -After the horse is tired he pets it, whispers strange words into its ear, words known to a few Cos- sacks of the Caspian steppes, and then, never again, will that horse bite or Kick or disobey a man. Pietro soon is to become trainer and horsebreaker for King Alexander. F rr-ner’s Wife Finds Astonishing Relief “For ten long years I had suffer- ed with my stomach.
