Pretty story of Jenny Lind.

Here is n pretty story of Jenny Lind:
One day she was riding in the country
with some friends. \ bird of brilliant
plumage perched on a tree near by as
they drove slowly along and triled out
such complication of sweet notes az as
tonished her.
The coach stopped. and. reaching out,
she gave one of her finest roulades. The
beautiful creature perched his head on
one side and listened deferentially, and
then as il to excel his famous rival, rails
ed his graceful throat and sang n song of
ripping melody that made Jenny raptur-
ously clap her hands in ecstasy. Then.
quickly. as though she were before Sc
verely critical audience, she gave some
Tyrolean mountain strains that set the
echoes flying, whereupon little birdie took
it up and sang and trilled till Jenny, in
happy delight, acknowledged that the
pretty woodland warbler decidedly out
caroled the Swedish nightingale-Sa

well, the business amt generally

horse colorer is the whole thing IN rae

A ringer you know, is a good horse
made to appear like an old skate, so
that he can be entered in the slower
races.
"This professional colorer is nothing
more nor less than a ringer preparer,'
and he's got the slickest methods you
can imagine. He can take bay mare
into his barn and within "a hours
bring her out as white as snow or jet

fashioned way of coloring horses was
done by liberal use of paint, but I've
known it to go pretty hard with own
ers when their colored horses happen

he uses some kind of chemicals and

he can bring back the original color Of
the horse. He charges $25 trans
