An Amusing Story Of Horse, a Colt and
Pawn.

An amusing Incident occurred recently In
the pasture ON the Morse place, the chief
actors being Two horses, colt and fawn,
II so happened that Frank and Mr., d, had
each put q lhreeyearold into the above
mentioned pasture and, In due course Of
time. Mr., B,'s mare was seen with little
colt. shortly afterwards d fawn was seen
following the other horse. Several neigh
bors saw Il from distance and some even
went 50 far as to drive near the pasture In
the hope OF seeing IL. Now IL happened
thar damsel went out 10 see and saw
colt. This she reported TO the men in
question but knowing she was not country
bred, they were sure she did not know
colt when she saw one-and laughed her TO
seorn. Finally Mr.. u. became excited and
concluded that II she was right his mare
must have had twins and he had taken but
one to the barn. II took some time for
him to see that even In Vermont colt
could not live week ON q diet OF hot air,
Frank was equally sure that there was no
colt belonging TO his mare, The damsel
however, was persistent and at length the
men repaired to the pasture to prove TO her
the enormity OF her error, There they
found that they were right as to coler but
that the fawn had rapidly evolved into
colt, an unmistakable colt, and claimed the
three.year.old for its dam. The neighbors
have smiled some but that only aids their
digestion.
