But until Mr Rarey went to first principles

But until Mr. Rarey went to first principles, and taught the reason why there were horses that could not be brought to bear the beating of a drum, the rustling of an umbrella, or the flapping of a riding-habit against their legs and all attempts to compel them by force to submit to these objects of their terror failed and made them furious. Mr. Rarey, in his lectures, often told a story of a horse which shied at buffalo-robes the owner tied him up fast and laid a robe on him the poor animal died instantly with fright. And yet nothing can be more simple.
