One dsy last month, Dave Tucker went
to the railroad station to get some corn and
bacon that had been shipped to him, and
on the trip had the misfortune to get his
horse injured in one of his feet, which
caused him to travel slowly and to limp
considerably. This in itself annoyed Dave
greatly, but to add to his annoyance every
one he met would speak to him and ask
what was the matter with his horse, where
upon the horse would stop, and with diff
c1lty could be induced to startagain. Dave
met great many people, with the same re-
suit except that each time he got little
uad6er. To every one he would assign e
different reason for his horses lameness.
Finally ne met an old lady who accosted
him with the usual saiutation, mister, your
horse is lame" TIE horse, &c n2ore, stopped
and rested on three feet. ''Yes, maam, l
am aware of that fact" "Well, what's the
matter with him?" ''The fast train ran over
him a little while ago, and came near kill
ing him. LAS massy, an It didn't Kill
i'm; be you tenin' me the truth, for I take
YOU to be that ar preacher that came to see
me some time ago." This was too much for
Dave. He owned up to handling the truth
carelessly, but denied identity with the
preacher. After half hours further con-
sultation, he prevailed on MS old horse to
move on and in due time reached home.
