The Horse who Asserted himself.

l.
There was once q horse who had great
ideas about Progress. He was a young
horse, and perhaps that WAS the reason
why he not only loved these ideas. but
insisted on carrying them out e thought
that horses should assert thensl Ives, and
stand up for their rights. and 'Iot allow
mankind TO run over them.
When it was pointed out that In this
world everything either runs or is run,
and that Man would never allow q horse
TO run him. be replied that that was
Mans affair He tried his new ideas
once or twice. but was s0othed By the
butI end OF q whip until be felt that the
time was not quite ripe. The idea that
he himself was not. never occurred 10

Mother 1t is all very well to assert
yourself, but that kind Of assertion is
sometimes disprOved-
But the young horse Iranced gayly out
on the highway and proceeded to act like
an au omobiIe- He began at the beginning,
and I'D all of the things which he had
noticed the automobile doing.
First he tried to climb z tree but the
branches did not seem to pc the right

was better, but when he caught his front

So he asserted himself and went and
tried to climb into the automobile. The
machine picked him up and tossed him
twenty feet into a field by the side OF the
road; and for a space all was blank

efficiently to take an interest in the
