Of course there are numerous single

and riding horses are, praise be, once
again in high favor. But the single
driving horse is passing, too. and there
is a bright side as we'll as a dark to

IQl horses are IN almost every case pen
stoned, for no one more than a physician
knows how much of success in the past
has depended upon the beast OF burden.
The handsome team Of bays driven for
so many years by DIT w. F. Beer has
been replaced by an automobile, and the
horses themselves have been separated.
One was sold for use as a single driving
horse and is well cared for. while the
other, now growing old. is kept on
farm and used occasionally till such
time as he is no longer Of use, when
his days will be ended there in peace.
Almost all the doctors have followed
this plan, most of them having learned
through long years Of faithful service
the value Of tire horse. and in their cases
at least the horse has been given I'D
for mis- own good. Unlike the peopIe
who used horses for pleasure only and
who now use the automobile for the
same purpose. these men have realized
what was due from the master to the
servant and they have done well by the
servant.
One of the handsome and well known
teams was that owned by George Y.
Wallace. a lover Of horses always. These
