OLD D0BBIN HOLDS HIS OWN,
From Trenton True American

[From Trenton True Americana n
.sAt Westyille, New Jersey, few
days ago there was horse sale. The
first pair of horses offered sold for
$3.50. Several single horses sold for
$500 each. Every horse, and there
was big bunch of them, was dispos-
ed of, and hundreds of buyers were
present, ''in the market" for good
the town without securing what they
wanted.
Here is an object lesson that goes
to show that the horse is about as
useful to mankind as ever. Fifty years
ago it was common belief that the
locomotive, then in course of its great
est development, would eventually
supplant the horse. The locomotive
supplanted the stage coach, but the
horse remained.
Then came the electric trolley car
and again the equine dynasty was
threatened. The horse car disappear
ed, but the horse was put to another
uses. The bicycle rage next swept
over the country and again certain
pessimists imagined that the horse
was doomed to extinction. The only
appreciate effect of the two wheel
ed vehicle on the work of the horse
was to relieve him of the saddle, so
that in later years we seldom see a
man or woman on horseback.
And now comes the automobile
into general use, and once more it
seems that Old Dobbin's reign is
nearing an end Autos for pleasure,
autos for business, autos for rapid
transit, autos for moving heavy loads,
autos for quick delivery, autos for the
police, autos for the fire-fighters and
even autos for the farms-what re-
mains for the poor horse to do?
but don't worry. Even if the
horse becomes a luxury instead of a
necessity the world loves him too well
to wholly dispense with his services.
Horse and man have travelled the
worlds highway together since the
beginning of time The former has
been an essential part of mans affairs
in peace and war, in love and adven-
ture, in his struggles for life and his
pursuits of life's Injuries. 1t will
take dozens of generations to destroy
mans affection for the noblest of
beasts.
Moreover, when the business of
manufacturing autos is finally reduced
to science, when the patents have all
expired, when the novelty has worn
off and when fashion has set its heart
on some newer fad, then we may ex-
pect to see the salable value of tie
horse and auto equalized We may
expect to see the auto settle down to
its proper level as mere bit of cheap
common, greasy, Gathering, dust-dis-
turbing machinery, sustained by few
romantic traditions ard weighted
down with the odium of having MAIN
ed or murdered many master and
of having brought into the world
about as much of pain as pleasure
THE time will come when auto
sales will not be half so successful as
was the horse sale at Westville few
days ago.
There are dozen such sales in this
county every year, and another at
Westville next month.
