Show The Point of View. Many of the differences among men are due to the of point view from each man's eyes. Some years ago Zinc Barnes with a company com-pany of other young men went north from Reno, Nev., prospecting. All were mounted ' on little mustangs except Zinc, who rode a tall, rangy but lazy mule. Their destination was some unexplored county on the border ' of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Cal-ifornia. Arriving there, they were suddenly confronted con-fronted by a band of hostile Modocks. All turned and fled, but the mule of Zinc's was in no hurry, and was not disposed to be hurried. The horsemen sped away while Zinc frantically called to them to halt, exclaiming ex-claiming that there were but a few Indians which they could easily whip. At last an arrow aimed at Barns struck his mule in the rear. The mule at this turned his head and got a sight or scent of the Indians, and then with a great burst of speed rushed away, passing the little mustangs mus-tangs easily. As he sped by, Zinc called out lustily: "Come on, you sons of guns, there's a million of Indians." It was just the difference dif-ference in Zinc's point of view that caused him to change his mind. |
