About two weeks ago the doctor
went into the market for horse and
came out with a fine black colt. well
pred and lively as a clicket-in fact
TOO blamed lively as he found ont
later. Friends of the doctor have
gradually seen less and less of him
and have missed his genial company
ever since he bought the colt but
looked upon it as a natural conse-
suence and what might and as same

doctor could take over his horse
with Perfect immunity. Before Civ

red to the trainer that 1t wiuld be
well TO show the doctor just what ne
had accomplished in order that he
might not think that his efforts and
his time had been spent in vain. So
before handing the ribbons over yes
terday he took the doctor out for a
drive.
The doctor said he took him all
over town. up alleys and down lanes
and past every conceivable place
where a horse might shy. Gaping the
climax with his grand stand play on
Main street. The doctor said he
thought Eastman was just pulling up
to the curb when he started for the
sidewalk although he was saying TO
him, Now I'll just show ydu | can
drive him anywhere"
Doc. said he got the horse off the
sidewalk as soon as he could and told
Eastman he didn't want to be shown
any more, that the horse was all
right for him just as he was.
