were very cheap. What was to be done!
The official members concluded to get up
a subscription paper, and try to raise
money enough to get Mr.. Everhart a
horse. Accordingly subscription paper
was drawn up in due form, and a number
Of names put down, with the several

was raising rapidly in his profession. =
They presented the paper to him, and
politely asked him to subscribe something
He took the paper and read it, with the
names and amounts each one had sub

said. "No, not one cent will subscribe
on that paper. Do you expect TO raise
