FAT ROLL IN HORSES FEED.
But Animal Dr. Not Like the Flavor
Of the Bills. ......

Waterbury. Conn, Sept. 10.-Over
on East Mountain they are smiling ut
Robert Mccormick, the North Main
street coal dealer. He recently sold a
house and got $780, all in bills. He
got it at night. Going home he de-
cided that it would be safer in the
barn than in the house, so he put the
roll of bills in sack of feed.
In the morning he fed his horse out
of the same sack. AT breakfast he
was telling the family about selling
the property when Mrs. Mccormack
suddenly asked him: What did you
do with the money? '':'+t
That started him for the barn at a
quick step, where he found that he
had given the $1,000 roll to the horse
for breakfast and that the intelligent
animal had tried to eat it, but finding
it lacking in flavor had nosed it along
the manager while cleaning up his feed.
The money was intact
Mccormack seems careless with his
coin. Not long ago he left an old coat
$35, and negro came
along and took the coat.
