Wound the Horse Vp.

A local Chinaman has runaway horse, which he drives to light spring wagon. The other day he drove up to a gate and was in quandary as to how he was going to get out and open the gate without leaving his horse alone. At last happy idea came trekking up over his que and he tied the reins to the front wheel of the wagon. With a pleasant smile he opened the gate, and forgetting the lines tied to the wheel, started to lead the horse through. In explaining his troubles later he said: "Me alice same big chlump. Wheel wind lem horse up alice same top. Pullem horse topside down. Hellee, he kickem feet, bloke wagon, smashee, bang. Putty soon he come tOpside up gin. Run, smashee, smashee.
