This Story OF the Lame Horse and tn.
Young Doctor.
Zone reads so many stories about ami
nal intelligence that it would be hazard
Gus for doubter to express his disbs-
lief in almost any gathering Of men at
the present day." remarked DR.. W. W.
Watkins. "A little instance came
within my own observation number
Of years ago when was studying med
icine and which convinced me that the
memb, ) of the horse family at least
ought to be credited with the possession
Of very considerable quantity of rea-
soning power. 1t was the custom for
the students at the medical institution
at which | pursued my studies to wear
small badge upon their coats to dis
tingush them from others at the col
lege. A horse belonging to the estab-
lishment was used great deal about
the medical department, and the ami
NAL seemed to have special preference
for the embryo doctors more than for
any other people about the establish
ment.
lone day, while number of us were
gathered in little knot upon small
campus in the rear of the college, the
animal in question, which used to nip
the grass in the location, came toward
the group limping very badly. He came
to stop dozen or more feet from the
crowd and, carefully surveying the lot
of us, finally made up his mind as to
what he wanted to do and without any
hesitation limped directly to my side,
whinnied, stuck his nose against my
body and held up his left foreleg. Look
ing down, discovered n large nail i'm
bedded in the frog of his hoof. This
had evidently caused the lameness. l
then realized the interesting fact that
the animal desired attendance. ex-
tracted the nail with some difficulty,
and the horse whimpered with relief
and walked away. Rather curious as to
why the beast had picked me out to at
tend to his wound, glanced at the
boys and found the solution to the prob
lem. Not one of the group had his med
ical badge upon his coat but myself
