they then disa ppeared. The farmers thought
it was nothing strange that the chickens
should go west to hatch their young. and are

RAISING A STREET BLOCKADE.
One Stubborn Horse No Match for 1000
HORSEPOWER Trolley Car.


HORSEPOWER Trolley Car.
1t Is familiar sight now, the starting up
OF q stalled truck by a trolley car pushing
II; but 1t seems TO interest people just as
much as il did when 1t was new.
Here. for instance, was q two-ho truck
with a heavy load halted on the slope IN
Fulton street, between Church street and
West Broadway. Good team. and able
to haul the load. but the nigh horse had
got tired half way up the slope and decided
to take a rest; and, Of course. that tied w
the whole business. In bad place, to-
on that hill.
The man with the driver got down and
touched up the stubborn nigh horse WIN
the whip, but that only made him more
stubborn, and incidentally made hm KICK
out sideways in an obviously ear1eet en-
deavor to injure the man with the~hlp.
, Outfit still stalled; and a diver with
big two-horse express Wagon comes up

of the stalled team will pull The "a horse

this respect the cat il vastly superior to tho

He has proof Of his philosophy
