HORSE WENT TO CHURCH,
instinct Baae Him Respond TO Call G.
the Bell.


r. II. u. Smith Of Monterey. Cal, has
remarkable bay horse, Muggins.
which appears to have more religious
instinct than the majority of animals.
Tho horse has been used by Mr.. Smith
for the last 25 years to draw the fami.
ly to the village church. In the last
20 years there have been only two
Sundays on which Muggins didn't
have TO carry some member OF the
family TO church. The second occa.
sion was few Sundays ago. A year
ago the horse was turned into the
yard for little Sunday recreation and
nothing more was thought OF Muggins
until The far distant toll of the church
bell was heard. Then the horse
prlcked mp his ears, and realizing that
he was late, started OF at a quick
pace for the church He went directly
under the shed and took his accus.
toned place, where,he remained until
II was time to go home.
4 couple 'cfawceks ago the horse
made Ills second appearance at the
church alone. Mr.. Smith had placed
Mugglns IN a stall and had left the
stable door slightly ajar, The old
bell tolled exceptionally loud and long,
and Muggins could not resist the call
in some manner he slipped his haltes
and made his way from the stable
to the church, where he remained
until the seryice was over. The par
son patted the horse affectionately as
he trotted up to The door, and then
be started on his homeward journey.
