Timing a Fast Horse.

GriswOld, tho Fat Coutributor' tells
/ the following horse story;
A friend of ours, who owns a fine
farm near Camp DenisOn-JOhnw we will
call him-is fond of horses, and has a
private racetrack where he puts his fast
nags through a course of equine sprouts.
Those residing in the vicinity who have
fast nags, frequently resort to this rage
track for the purpose of testing the
speed of their horses, Now, John is a
bit Of Wag, and numerous are the
joke e has played of upon his friends
in timing their horses with his patent
stOp-watch. Every man likes to think
he has fast horse, and when told that
horse has made q mile i'm $50, when he
he had no idea that he could yet below
the fifties, he naturally feels elated don't
you ESPECIALLY when so grave and
earnest'a man as our friend John holds
the watch, and that watch is known the
country round for its reliability.
If anybody else were to time the
speed of the nags, they might question
its authenticity, but JOhn-nO one
thought of questioning him or his pat
ent watch. One day last Fall, a neigh
boring farmer, who couldn't sleep yery
well nights, because he had got Ii into
his head that colt he owned was fast.
brought the said colt to Johns race
track to try him. John very accom-
mOdatingly held his patent watch
while the owner of the colt drove around
the track.
"Iwo-thirty-eightn yelled John as the
colt passed the mile pole.
WHAT'S that " shouted the man in as
punishment
'FWo minutes and thirty-eights seconds
exactly replied John, without moving
a muscle.
This was so much better than the
colt proprietor had anticipated that he
couldn't believe it possible, and said
so.
Hold the watch yourself them said |
John somewhat grutily, If you can't
believe me-
Oh replied the man fastening to |

Tho Dutehman's Claor

In the small village Of h, in tn,
State of PensyIvania, there lived a
Dutchman who was famous for mi,
knowledge Of making cider and was
equally famous for keeping it, and as yet
uo person but himself and family had
been permitted to taste the good stuff.
At last one ofhis neighbors said he Was
bound to taste it, Accordingly he went
to the Dutchmau's house and entered
into conversation with him concerning
his crops, etc, and by degrees led him
to speak of his cider. He then said to
him in a very soft tone!
Il understand you make very good ci-
der
Yaw,' replied the Dutchman. Hans
my boy, go and bring mug Of the Oh
der
Hans soon returned with mug brim-
ming full, and handed it to the Dutch
man, who drained to the bottom at one
draughti then turning to his astonished
visitor, said;
Derc, now, II you thinks dat ish not
good cider, yOW sh'isf schDlCH Of the nlvg.'
