THE SUNDAY CALL. ¢ The necessary materials for the tricks in these columns are found in every fun-loving home, or may easily be pro- cured at the expense of a few cents.

Have somebody select a card from an ordinary pack and, after looking at it, place it on top of the pack. Place the pack in a pasteboard box . just large enough to hold it; put the cover over it. A few moments later the box is opened, the pack is taken out and lald aside; a sealed envelope is shown to the audience, gle ones, three lots of | of three, separately | each containing | and, when opened, the card selected by the partner is pulled out of it. The small pasteboard box must be made in such a way that it can just hold the whole pack of cards, as shown in A. Inside the cover paste a small piece of wax, to which the uppermost card stick when the cover'is put on the by When the box is opened again, this card must be removed secretly an dden in the palm of the hand. The envelope is empty. Place the card behind it, while you cut the envelope open and pre- tend you pull the card out..

Why, vou'd stand more show of bustin’ up an | automobile and gettin’ out with your hide ‘whole, “I don’t look much like a cowboy, do I?” he said, taking off his derby hat and looking at the creases in the trousers of his black business suit. “But it's all the | clothes.

But I can ‘bust’ a ‘bronc,’ and | don’t you forget it; and if it is a ‘bustin’ | receipt you are after, why, you can have X it “The plains horse first learns what & rope is when it is one year old.

As soon as they let the youngster get'up it runs off to its mammy, and for two years has nothing to do but run around and kick up its heels. e “Most ponies are broken in when three- year-olds. We cut 'em out twenty or thir- ty at a time. Each cowboy ropes bis horse, and then the fun begins. The ser- vices of a helper or two are necessary to get the thirty-five pound saddle in place, and it would take a dozen if the horse was not blindfolded. It takes only a second to slip a ‘haccomo,’ or horsehair halter, over the beast’s head, and then comes the task of getting into the saddle. A good ‘bronco buster’ gets his leg over before the horse knows that anything is doin’. Then the helpers turn the horse loose, and he starts buckin' without wait- ing to think about it. He pitches and jumps and tries to turn bnckfllgl, for all the world like a small boat in a big storm. Then he will take a turn at pawing the gounfl and kicking with his front feet. erhaps. he will jump into the air and come down on the solld ground with all four legs rigid. The whole business simply means that he wants to get you off his back.” ‘““And were you ever thrown?’ the re- porter asked. ““Was I ever throwed?” replied the cow- boy. “Well, I guess, yes. The hair that grows on a horse's back falls off at times, to say nothing of a man. The best of cow- punchers git throwed once in a while. There’'s more than one way of stickin' to a bucking horse, however, Some keep thelr keats by grippin’ the saddle with the krees, others depend on their spurs, and | then again there are punchers who hold i | on by the reins. A good cowpuncher don't have any set rule. He just rides loose like |, and is ready for anything that comes, even to gettin' throwed once in a spell. ‘‘Speakin’ of gettin’ throwed reminds me | of poor ‘Charley’ Wilson and his fatal ex- | perfence with a man killin’ ‘bronc’ out on Captain King's ranch, Santa Aertrules, | Tex. He was breakin' in a raw-boned ! eritter that was about as wild as any I ever see. He had been ridin’ the beast a couple of hours when he came past the corral on the jump. ‘“Wantin’ to show off before the bo: he dug his spurs into the big Dbay shoulders, and in about a second he was out of the saddle. He would have been all right if he hadn't caught his foot in the stirrup. That settled it for him. The horse saw him hangin' there, and rushed off into the brush, kickin' at his poor @ silrlvieledieilsfefedufalfeledelodulelnil @ inches long.

We stick them, as the wheel of the windmlill, on a thinner plece of straw (4 Inches long) In such a way that the split and bent two purts form a wheel with éight spokes. fter this we bulld a framework of straw, as shown In our illustration. In the middle of this frame- work we insert the wheel, after plércing the sides of the frame with a penknife, Behind the wheal we Insert a bar of straw to strengthen the frame and stick the blowing-tube through it and the base of the frame.

We picked his body up in pieces, here and there, where the wild critter had dragged him. Then we gave him the best sort of a funeral we could. “The horse became an outlaw and we hunted him for weeks before we discov- ered him in the midst of the herd. Poor ‘Wilson's saddle, or rather what was left of it, was hangin’ under the brute's belly, and ‘the girths had made such a sore place on his back that we had to shoat him. It don't pay to show off when you're breakin’ broncos. I used to do ft, but no more for ‘Jack.’ “I helped break my first horse when I was 9 years old, and I've been breaking them ever since. I don’t mind breaking real wild, horses, but deliver me from the kind that have been spolled—that is, horses that have mastered some man. I'd rather break six wild horses than one that has been spolled.” Franz says that a real cowboy will be & relic in a dozen years. He expects to live long enough to be known as a llv‘lni member of an extinct ‘“profession. Barbed wire fences sounded the death note of the Western puncher.
