SLEIGH RIDE Fur A HORSE
Problem of Getting Down Icy Hill
Solved by Maine Man.

The people along the st. CroiX river
are telling how John Brown Of st.
Stephen recently gave his horse a light
ming ride down an icy hill, says Ban
gor (Me.) dispatch to the Johnstown
! pa Democrat.
Brown lives on one of the ridges
back Of the town, and the other morn
ing when he had urgent business in ST
Stephen he found to his surprise that
the SNOW had vanished during the
night. The business would not wait
and so Brown started with his smooth
shod nag and was dragged along in a
low bodied sled over alternate patches
Of bare ground and ice.
All went we'll until he reached the
top of Weston's hill, very steep in
cline three-quarters of a mile long.
CHANGING down the icy toboggan chute,
Brown decided that it would be dan
gerous to attempt the descent with his
smooth shod horse, and he stood irreso-
lutte until suddenly a bright thought
struck him.
BY dint of a little coaXing and prod
ding he managed to get the morse on
board the sled, and then before the
amazed nag could back out he gave the
sled a push, jumped on behind, and
away they went like a comet down the
hill. The horse stood perfectly still,
with his feet braced, as If he under
stood what was going on.
People along the road rushed out to
see the sight, and they expected every
minute to see the outfit go to smash.
But Brown knew thing or two about
steering, the horse never once moved
from his rigid position on the sled, and
finally they reached the foot of the bill
and went shooting along quarter of a
mile farther on the level road, stopping
at the door of q blacksmith's shop.
There the horse was sharp shod, and
the journey to st. Stephen was re-
sumed with the horse in the shafts and
Brown III the seat. Today Brown is
regarded as a man Of nerve, while his
nag has the distinction of being the
only horse Whereabouts that ever got a
sleigh ride down hill. ........

charitable lumber had been furnished
as provided in a contract. The lawyer
on the opposing side was very vocif-
erous man, who shouted when he talked
and who was also much given to
pounding the table with his fists.

present representative on the cross ex-
animation.
"Why, lumber that can be sold at
profit" replied the wise Fordney.
The lawyer pounded on the table, en-
gagged in more loud talk and finally
went at Mr.. Fordney again.
