woman who is fond of horses has gone into
the livery business and Is making money at it.
Her patrons prefer her gentle, refined manners
to those of the average iveryman, and 1t is a
pleasure to many of them to know that her
horses are never ovelworked or abused in any

that the most careful mother Is glad to have
her son employed In them; and as all boys love
horses there Is an unlimited number of them to
be had for the asking. The woman began by
driving her friends to the trains. and when they
began to pay her It occurred to her that the
thing that pleasure to her might also be
made source of profit.
