Bowser is ONLY a horse; but he knows
how to behave when he wears his sun
day suit. This is nor than some
children know. There are little ones
who make mud-pios when they have on
their bet clothes. BOwser neye- does.
Bowser drags n cart on weekdays,
or Sunday he goes TO church with =
buggy. When John puts the heavy
harness upon Bowser. the horse goes to
the cart and backs in. When he j.,
dressed in the nice buggv-harness. he
steps off proudly and gets into the
shafts of the buggy. tie does this all
alone. He never makes n mistake.
One day Bowscr had a set of new
shoes. When the blacksmith put them
on. he drove n nail into one of Bowsers
feet John did not notice it till they
were almost home When he saw that
Bowser limped a little. he said: Il mus,
lead the poor fellow back. when | get
him cut Of the cart"
They reached home. and John took
off Bowser's harness. As soon a he
was free. the horse turned about and
trotted of When John called him. be
did not mind. He ent straight pack
to the blacksmith.
Hello. Bowserl' cried the black
smith.
The poor horse said nothing. bu, he
walked up to the man and he'd out his
aching foot.
Then the blacksmith put the shoe on
all right. and he patted Bowser kindly.
and said: You know a great deal for
n horse."-Our Late ones.

formed Young Mems club" and IA Me-
chanics' club" how would it do to organize
