talking before his proud parents took
him to be christened Though limit

two choice words picked up from his
father. OF course, he looked like a

II you would see a horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such a
track as you see at the old-time
country fair. Here comes an awk-
ward flea-bitten gray which never
went under ESQ in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched UP sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again. without cutting him free with
jackknife. A farmer with a
gray beard and twinkling eye OBJ

Waaner as a Curative AGENT.

Vernon Lee has told somewhere the
story of the marvellous effects of Wag-

hypnotism; the sound seems almost to

into kind of dream in which only the
sense of hearing exists.
