the colt itself, If able to stand, is
worth 5000"
This, it is presumed, was the
clincher. The Reverend pur-
chased the mare and brought her
to his farm, back of Baird's fur
mace, He felt that he had made
an elegant purchase, had got o
good bargain, and wasn't satisfied
until he had told q few of his very
personal friends what real gen
uine bargain he had got, caution
ing them to say nothing, "that
the mare had been bred to one of
Hartman's thoroughbreds, unbe-
knowns to him." and he wouldn t
have it found out for the world.
The friends became just about as
anxious as he was, and anxiously
awaited the foaling hour.
One morning his estimable wife,
so it is said, saw something caper-
ing around the mare, but the dis
tance was so great she couldn' t
tell what it looked like. Present.
ly the Reverend gentleman came
into the house and his wife said,
"Jim, / believe that mare has a
colt, l saw something scampering
around her. You had better go
out and see."
But "Jlm" had been there and
had nothing to say. She tried a
time or two to get him to make
some reply, but Ire said nothing.
His wife thought it was rather
curious, so she put Oh her bonnet
and went out to see for herself,
and 10, and behold you, that thor
oughbr ed colt was A MULE! and
further deponent saith not.
