A Generous Horse.

The following incident. given by a
writer in the st. Louis Republic, indi-
Gates that it is possible for horse to
be "a perfect gentleman" Two fine
looking horses attached to single bug
gies were hitched near the entrance to
the st. Louis Merchants Exchange.
They were hitched several feet apart,
but the hitchlng straps allowed them
sufficient liberty of movement to get
their heads together If they SO de-
sired.
The owner of one of them had taken
the opportunity of prolonged sssPs to
give the horse a feed of oats. which
was placed on the edge of the side
walk in bag.
He was contentedly munching his
oats when his attention was attracted
by the actions of the other horse,
which was evidently very hungry. He
eyed the plentiful supply of oats visit
fully and neighed In an inslnuating
manner.
The horse with the feed pricked up
his ears politely and replied with a
neigh, which must have been, In horse
language, an Invitation to the other
fellow to help himself.
Evidently he accepted It, for he
moved along in the direction of the
bag as far as the hstching strap would
permit. But the strap was not long
enough, and his hungry mouth well
about a yard short Of the bag.
The host noticed and seemed to ap-
preciate this difficulty. Fortunately
there was some leeway to his strap.
So he moved slowly along the curb,
pushing the bag with his nose until his
guest was able to reach it. Then, after
friendly nose-rub of salutation, the
two horses contentedly finished the
oats together.
