Disposition Of the
Animal.

Mansfield, o., March y..-Despite
the fact that Peter Mackey, Gallon
missionary had dedicated to the
Lord a horse presented to him by
Reuben Greenfield a Richland coun-
ty farmer, Mickey was compelled
TO return the animal to Mrs Green
field who claimed it belonged to
her.
Greenfield met Mackey at a
Mansfield church, both being mem
bers of new "holincss club.
Mackey told Greenfield or the good
work he was doing among the sin
ners OF Crawford county and hint
ed that he was in need OF good
horse to carry on the work The
farmer offered to provide the nee
cssary morse, Dut NmcKey ncsitated,
Saying that the transaction must
first be approved by the Lord A
week later he went to the Green
field home. said the gift had re-
ceivcd the Lord S sanction. and
Greenfield gave him the horse.
Greenield's wife then went into
court and said it was her horse
and that she had not been suni-
ciently saturated with the dedication
idea to stand by the gift. The
matter was compromised by Mac.

that It was New Years Eve, and we

mighty clumsy at 1t. | remember Ira
Gregory broke one of Mrs. Landis'
best dishes just as he called number
thirteen and the poor boy was so
ashamed and embarrassed he got red
as a beet. He offered to pay Mrs.
lands for it, but Mrs. lands, bless
her heart, was such a lovable, kind
hearted woman, and turned IT, off so
nicely by saying she was sure the
plate was cracked already, and that
she ought to have given them good
plate to play with, anyway which
made Ira feel 50 good he was the life
of the evening after that.
"And then we pared apples, and
threw the peels over our shoulders

Did Jimmie Jones ever get
there?' ln.ereaJcdly asked the gen
tleman.

Jimmie" said Grandma. "Its so sell
dom that you meet anyone who un-
derstands the pleasures of the past,
and who cares to listen to them be-

having such Il one to listen is apt
to make one forget almost any

Grandma. He rode out from town,

answer, continued: "Why, the last

visitor.
You have that wrong" Grand
ma hastened to correct. "I'll tell YOU
how that was. In the first place,
IL wasn't what you would call the
country in those days, for there was
made road clear out to the Lands
lane, and 1t was his arm, not his
leg.
You know, sir 1t didn't use to
snow as much down that way as It
sidered quite big treat, to be made

snow came that time, and the wealth

square. one OF the boys In the front
sled had a stage horn, and he blew
IL all the way to Landis'. Jimmie
Jones couldn't go out with us; he
had to stay, he said, till store closed.
But he would ride out later on horse
