Old Daniel, the gray horse who has |
done most of L. ). Billings work for |
two decades, and whose appearance was
familiar to a good part of the people of
the village, was peacefully laid 20 rest |
Monday. Just how old he was is not
known, but Mr. Billings says he was
over thirty. and that he has himself own
ed him over twenty years. Even on the |
way TO execution he capered so that he
broke his halter and got loose, so 1t may |
be seen that he was not very intirm, but
he couldn't eat hay. Except for that he
would probably still have long life be
fore him, for his owner says old Daniel-I
was the best horse he ever saw, without
an exception.
A reversion to former type is mani
fest in a style of skate which is in the
market this fall. Ii is nothing more nor
less than the old-fashioned rocker
skate, made of rounding blade set in
wooden block, fastened solidly at the
heel by screw and at the ball of the
foot By straps. When the writer of this
paragraph learned to skate, along about
oh, well, never mind the exact date,
twas quite a while ago,-thiS style OF
skate was in general use, but was being
rapidly displaced by the club skates OF
one kind or another, made all of steel
and iron and fastening to the sole of the
boot by some kind of more or less in
Simultaneous fastening. When the boys
got to the shore of the pond, the fellow
with the club skates would have them
on and be once around the pond while
the boy with the old-fashioned skates
was getting the screw-hole cleared out in
his left heel. Though such a skate takes
longer to put on, there is no question
that when II is once on it is easier TO
skate on and less liable to accident than
the Climb skate.
