Hence we should avoid riding even the worst puller continuously on the curb, the action of which we should alternate from time to time with that of the snaffle, so as to preserve the sensibility of the jaw. It is evident that the sensibility of the mouth is the means by which we are enabled to remain in touch with the forehand of the horse.
Had the talk suddenly swung over to amateur theatricals? Lady Cynthia was a terrible puller of legs. "Did you ever hear of Madge Carlyle?" she asked, "or was she before your time?" "I have heard of her." She was a famous London cocotte in the days when mashers wore whiskers and "Champagne Charlie" was sung.
But the difficulties began when he came up with the hunt; for the horse in question is a desperate puller, very awkward to manage in old enclosures, and not at all accustomed to hunt with any regular pack, least of all with her Majesty's hounds. The consequence was what might have been expected.
Very much the same situation is seen in national politics. The party is controlled by a "boss," and at the present this personage is a millionaire, named Hanna, said to be an honest, upright man, with a genius for political diplomacy, a puller of wires, a maker of Presidents, having virtually placed President McKinley where he is. This man I met. Many of the politicians called him "Uncle Mark."
When finally I located Bunch and told him the bitter truth he acted like a zee-zee boy in a Wheel House. Laugh! Say! he just threw out his chest and cackled a solo that fairly bit its way through my anatomy. Every once in a white he'd give me the red-faced glare and snicker, "Oh, you mark! You Cincherine! You to the seltzer bottle fizz! fizz! The only and original Wheeze Puller, not!
He could obtain a right of way order from the train dispatcher on that grade, sometimes of an hour's duration. He often snaked a load of gondolas or cattle cars up the grade, relieving both the puller and pusher steam locomotive. By this time the H. & P. A. system had stopped using the Jandel machines on any grades. They had proved their lack of power for such work.
The desire which a puller has to get away would probably only occur in the early part of the day when the starting rush is made, but if it were successful he would bolt among a lot of horses and be almost certain to cause an accident. A cavesson nose-band properly put on, will shut the mouth of a puller which wants to keep it open, and will thus help the rider to control him.
His strong character still spoke in his face, and he looked like one who, though conquered, was not subdued. Doctor Puller approached the couch and gently touched the arrow, but it produced such a spasm that he did not repeat the experiment. The eyes of Spikeman were fastened on the countenance of the surgeon, and read therein his doom. "There is no hope?" he gasped.
Thus there are few men without a visible motive, which all can see, and an invisible one which, however, pulls then just as the puller pleases. Berlin pulls now, and the duke's glory and the good of Europe must be sacrificed to policy." "But will the king suffer this? Will the emperor stand by and see this done?" "They are both zealous for the liberation of the unfortunate royal family.
You'll have to draw the curtain. No show is complete without a quick curtain at the end. How can we have curtain calls without a curtain? Anyway, we don't need three rocking chairs, two are plenty." So Oh-Pshaw good-naturedly shifted her role from rocking chair to curtain puller. "Next scene, home of Betsy Ross," proclaimed Nyoda.
