HORSE RODE TO FUNERAL,
ironic End to Career Of Hardworked
London Animal,


Here is true and pathetic story
OF a bus horse. 1t was told to me n
day or two ago by medical friend of
mine who has an extensive and me-
culiar practice in the south of London.
One Sunday morning, during the hot.
test days, he was asked to come round
to an omnibus yard as quickly as pos
sible. 1t seemed that one of the
horses, driven to desperation by the
heat, had insisted on climbing into the
bus, instead of taking its proper DO.
sition alongside the pole. The stable.
men had endeavored to get the animal
out OF the bus, but the poor horse.
during the course of the struggle, had
plunged its head through one of the
windows and cut its neck. The doc.
tor, unfortunately, arrived too late to
be OF service, with the consequence
that the horse bled to death. And
here comes the ironic sequel of the
grim little tragedy. Even when the
horse was dead the men we're unable
to remove the body from the inside
OF the omnibus, and thus IL happened
that they were compelled to harness
TWO other horses to the vehicle and
drag the corpse to the nearest car

better to die gloriously that to live

in grace, and through all these years,

Some Old Houses.


One such a place in Keene is the
old Barstow house, for years the resi-
dence of the Rev. DIR. u. S. Barstow,
who, as pastor of the Congregational
church for more than half century,
was famous for his good citizenship
and strict orthodoxy, especially the
latter. On the other side of the de-
numinational fence there has always
been as strenuous a contingent of
Unitarians, so that in days gone by
Keene has always found a tonic for
its otherwise tranquil existence.
Democrat and Republican have al.
ways striven for innings in their pc.
litical wrangles, which must have
given zest to that old forensic union.
But the old Barstow house, now
the home of Mrs. X. S. Perkins. has
associations still farther back. in rev.
dictionary days, when 1t housed a
memorable contingent of the CONT
