tells the following good story;
An old family horse that has been run
ming a, will through the streets and COM
mons lost one of his shoes. when with the
intelligence OF human being, he walked
up to the blacksmith shop where he had
been >hod Tor the last twenty years, and
,o the best OF his ability asked the smith
TO shoe him, 10y raising his foot and
stamping the ground. The smith being
busy. drove him away several times
during the day, and thought nothing Of
il. The following morning on going 10
the shop he found the old horse at the
door; again he drove him off, but the
horse came back. and, entering the shop,
walked up TO the anvil, and there raised
his foot, thus attracting the particular
notice of the smith, who examined the
foot. aud, finding il worn OFF to the
quick. kindly picked up an old horse
shoe. and fitting it TO his foot, nailed il
on; when the grateful animal, frisking
his tail by way of thanks, trotled off con-
lcntcdly."
