Of horses. one Of which was a young
mare and she never started of without
dancing around on her hind legs. II
demonstrated with by a gentle touch of
the whip she would give spiteful kicks
at the world in general. II was simply
impossible TO get the mare TO get down
TO her work until she was entirely ready.
Il asked the stage driver why he
didn't give her a little hickory tea and
he replied:
'Cap'n, no use TO whip the darn crit
