Bless Our Home and then fret and
fume and make the home as nearly an
inferno as you can. There is nothing !

medicine, together with a long glass
tube, and instructed him to blow the
powder down the horses throat. He
soon came back, however, in a dishev-

What's the matter, Pat?" "Oi went |
TO give the horse his medicine, an |
shure, he blew first"
