For a man nearly ninety years old
). G. Durham made very quick journey
from his home to the creamery on Sun
day morning. 1t seems that he drove his
horse TO the front of bis house to load his
milk to bring to the creamery and then
stepped into the house for something.
When he came out again his horse was
missing. Supposing that he had gone
towards the creamery he started in pur-
suit but was surprised not to find hide or
hair OF him. Pretty soon, however, his
hired man came down with the team, hav-
ing found il just around MIR. Dunhams
house in the garden. Moral: Always look
before you run. ......
