A good joke is told ON certain
minister of the gospel who likes
to trade horses by way of recrea-
ton. By some means the preach
er came into possession of horse
that wouldn't pull at all when he
came to hill. The parson found
a purchaser, who inquired particu-
larly as to age, condition and quail
tiles of the parsons steed. At last
he asked if he was tried puller.
1t would do your soul good to see
him pull" was the enthusiastic
reply. The trade was made, and
in few days the owner came back
and claimed the parson had mis-
represented the qualities of the
animal. II told you it would do
your soul good to see him pull ;"
The purchaser saw the point and
dropped the subject.
