The peculiar simplicity of the French
peasant is illustrated by two incidents.
A peasant went to his postoffice and Of
fered for the mail letter which was
over the weight specified for single
stamp.
This is too heavy" said the post
master. You will have to put an
other stamp on it."
"Wh-wh-why," said the peasant,
with wide-open eyes, "w-w-will an
other stamp make it any lighter?"
Another peasant, presiding over the
municipal council of his village, gave
the assembly lecture on the lack OF
necessity for any more bodybuilding.
CAS- for the roads which are now
bad" he said, lit is of no use to repair
them, for nobody travels over them;
and as for those which are good, why
do anything to them until they get
bad?"

American Horses in London.

Few of the million passengers or
more who make their daily journey in

the horses which draw them are nearly
always Americans or Canadian. Great

horses. The truth is, since the coach
ing era came to an end, the British
farmer has neglected the harness
horse in favor OF the hunter, and still
prefers to rear something that can
gallop and jump"
