Every Body Gave 1t Except Two Sailors,
and They Moved tho Cart.
The other day when horse drawing
a cart full of coal got stalled on West
street, the public was promptly on hand
with advice.

of an express wagon.
Take him by the head." added a
truckman.
Light bonfire under him!" called a
man from the sidewalk.
Cant you see he is stuck on the CEN
ter?" queried man who was proba bly,
an engineer.
IF that was my hoss," said man
with bundle of clothes under his arm.
''I'd tie a cloth over his eyes. I've seen
it tried hundred times, and it makes
'em pull their best"
Don't believe it," said a man with q
cane. 1--WE owned horses all my life,
and I've had some bad ones among 'em.
The only thing to do is to blow into his
right ear"
you mean the left" said q small
man with very thin voice.
mo, don't! I mean the right ear.
I've tried it often enough, guess"
A crowd of fifty people had gathered,
and now the driver got down and looked
the group over. One wheel was down
in rut. He stood looking at it, his
hand on the horses hip, and every body
around him rendering advice, when a
couple of sailors came along, and one Of
them called out:
AYE! mate, mate, but here's craft
on reef"
'Over with her.. them
Both seized the wheel for lift, the
driver clucked for the horse to 60
ahead, and away went the load as easy
ss you please. They were the only two
out of the whole crowd who had not adj
vised the driver how to do it.-N. Y.
