The young folks were enthusiastic
patrons of that little theater in Boston
where, for more than hundred after
moons and evenings, the Professor,
rs he was called, showed OFT his four
footed pupils. One afternoon he set
apart for u free entertainment OF as
many poor children as the house would
hold, who went under the charge d the
truant officers and had an ovcrwhclm-
| ing good time.
There wcps sixteen of the animals,
counting donkey, grays, bays. chest
nut-colored beauties. and one who
looked buff in the gas-light nsrecall-
ing them. ! can not say that there, was a
white-footed one. WHAT consequence
about white feet, you ask! Perhaps you
know that they make that Of some ac-
count In the horse bazaars OF the East.
The Turks say ''two white fore feet arc
lucky; one white fore and hind foot ARE
unlucky;'i and they had a rhyme that
runs; l#H.4
One white foot, buy a horse,
T rwo white ,.,.,, iert, try horse, -, III.

1t is perhaps needless and an insult
| to their intelligence for me to say that
they all know their own names as we'll
as YOU know yours. They know, too,
their numbers when they are acting rs
soldiers formed In line waiting orders;
the Professor passes along and checking
them OF with his foretinger numbers
them, then falling back, calls out for
certain ones to form into platoons. and
they make no mistake. Their ears are
alert, their senses sharp, their memory

They came around from the stable
an hour before the performances and
went up the stairs by which the audi
ence went; and a crowd used to gather
every afternoon and evening to see that
remarkable and free feat.
