TEAM BREAKS INTO RIVER
Ice Too Thin to Support Horses and
They Get Frosty
Bath

While one of August Platt's teams
was being driven over the river near
the ice house, the thin ice gave way,
giving the team most uncomfortable
ducking. Another team had to be at
tached before the horses could be res
cued. They came out of the water
very cold, but not really harmed.
Mr.. Platt reports that the ice is still
only about eight inches thick and
must be 10 or Is inches in thickness
before the ice harvest can begin. He
intends putting up about the same
amount as last year, which was about
1000 cords.

No Holidays.

It has been a busy time for the
officials. The superintendent, assist
ant superintendent and other officials
have found it impossible to enjoy a few
hours at home during the Santa Claus
period. Even if there we're guests, it
was necessary to eat and hurry away
to the pressing duties.
With the trainmen it has been a
busy time, too. The firemen find that
shoveling tons of coal is not like sitting
in a swivel office chair and to climb
along the top of a freight train in a
zero wind is like ascending to the
much discovered north pole.

A Plea for a Delivery Horse.

If a horse could speak and tell after
his days work how he had been used
and what had been done to him, he
could sometimes tell wonderful stories.
A horse is only horse but is subject
to rheumatism and pains just as well
as man. The horse has feeling and at
times is sick, but he can not speak,
Therefore he must suffer. If a forget
full master will forget to feed or water
him at the regular time, he can not
speak and complain, but will be hitch
ed up and must go just the same If
horse will stumble in bad going, pos
sibly the cause being not feeling well,
or being hungry or dry his master will
jerk him by the lines so his mouth
will bleed and then whip him and
swear at him, but he can not speak
and talk back, therefore he will have
to suffer.
If a horse will kick at swapping
cur of dog, which is the only way to
defend himself, or bite at lest of
fly, which is biting him on the side, he
will very often be whipped or jerked
severely for so doing, but he can not
speak therefore he must suffer. Great
and wise horse! Men say that horse
is very sensitive, proud and intelli-
gent, willing animal, also very kind.
It has been seen that great places and
sores, where the skin had been rubbed
off, had been caused by having poor
harness or a negligent master, and
when the time comes to put on the
harness he will shy off, but what will
be the consequence; some swearing and
the whip, but the horse can't speak.
There are times, possibly. when a per-
son will order small package of some
kind from the store who could just as
we'll as not take it along home, but
will say, "You may send it up" The
delivery boy hears the whole transac-
ton, and If he has any grit or gall in
him, it is aroused. He gets warm in
the collar, and he takes the package,
puts it in the wagon or sleigh, jumps
in and puts the whip to the poor, tired
horse and makes double fast time over
poor roads. Tne poor horse can not
speak, therefore he must pull that wag-
on, possibly weighing 700 or 800 pounds
with boy of 100 pounds and probably
few more school children, around
six or eight blocks in order to deliver
an yeast cake or half pound of tea.
If the horse limps, through poor shoe
ing or with nail in his foot, the whip
is the common remedy. After all the
days tortures for the horse, when put
up in the evening his master should
forget to feed or water him and proper
ly bed him, the horse can not speak,
therefore must suffer.
/ don't mean to say to my customers
that they must ask thelboy i'll for cup
of coffee or ask him to put up the
horse and feed him, but just kindly
ask him to be kind to the horse. l
| have plead for the kind delivery boy
| and my boys, who have stood by me
| have all been promoted. The boy can
stump his job" if he thinks he is not
| used right, but the horse must suffer.
If was a horse, which / am thankful
that am not, L would kick that cruel
master into the center of the Gulf Of
| Mexico.
I plead for boy and horse.
