David Harum outdone. ! listened re-
Gently to series Of horse trades, which
were q little ahead of "David and the
deakin's." As there appears no idea
kin" among the victims it might not fit
the boards as we'll. / relate 1t as 1t was
told to me, but later learn have but
1.-THE of the story.
Warren is quite a man to shift the
equine species, consequently a jockey
appears, as jockeys will, and after pre-
liminaries were gone through with, then
came the usual question in horse lore,
"How will you shift them?" Well, they
shifted. Something happened and he
shifted with his son-in-law, Walter, who
is an adept in the business. Walter
disposed of the animal in Boston.
Not long after, Walter was coming
from down country in the evening, met
a man and traded horses. Stopping
with his father-in-law, Warren, in the
morning, in looking over the property,
why" says Warren, "this is the kicker
that we had" Perhaps the reader may
be acquainted with the sensations such a
disclosure is liable to develop.
But something must be done. Another
turned and sold the horse back to Wal
ter for $40. Mont gave Walter an old
COW and $3.50 for the animal. Mont
disposed of the same to Fred for good
cow. Fred rendered one high-heeled
entertainment, then presented the horse
to Mont Stree gratis for nothing pro-
viding he would close his eyes. Hence
Mont has horse beef on hand and jockeys
breathe easier.

man of the executive committee of the
State Grange. who conducted the work
in very pleasing manner. About IS
