The boys of q Towson family drive
sturdy little donkey that has hide insensible
to the lash of whip, but the rattle of tin
can close to him will make him get up and
hustle at a lively rate. We don't know how
the boys discovered this weakness in the de-
mure looking little animal, but they did, and
now they always carry an old tin in the cart
with them. When they want the donkey to
increase his speed they just rattle the can and
he takes off at lively gait.
