: Feed the colt all the oats he wants
to eat. The last two hundred pounds
on the horse brings more money than
any other five hundred. and the only
way to get the extra weight is to iecd
the colt literally.
The latest scheme in the ringing

the public 10 forget him, ship him off
10 new section of country and start
! him IN the slow classes, but under
his correct name.

inuocuous desuetude.
That tireless genius, w. c. Jones,
seems TO take everything easy. He ia
about the least excited man on the

town. Tonight when he gets home !
one would think he'd never heard of !
