The old, old horse fell slowly in the
street
No plungtng drop no sudden slip and
fall,
No wild attempt to stop its sliding feet,
But just patient sinking, that was all.
An old, old horse-a bony, toil-worn beast
That had no soul. that had no hopeful
Dreams
That knew not when the light Of lie had
ceased
To lure it on with ever-hckle CLEANS.
A common brute-yet one day it had
Across the pasture lands with graceful
stride,
Or some proud masters word 1t had
obeyed
While nervous ripples shook its glossy
hide.
Too fine a head 1t had for us to think
That it had always piodded alley ways
And fed on curses with its food and drink
And never heard word OF cheer or
praise.
And even brutal blows and starving years
Had failed to break the curving OF its
Or rob the thoroughbred poise of its
ears
Life had not yet made of 1t all a wreck.
But how it fell all slowly In the street
And never once attempted more to rise;
Its heart gave up in one last broken
beat.
Deaths mercy drew the veil upon its
eyes.
Dead in the harness-and the needless
crowd
Went on; the city's noise dscordant
rose
But never more should 1t hear curses
loud
Or finch beneath repeated cutting
blows.

was all;
A worn-out horse. worked down to bone

With no more living spirit left within.
They. too, fall in the harness; and we
pass
Unheeding through the hurried crowd
ed ways;
It's but one less in all the toiling mass
That keeps the world awhirl through
out our days.
And pity Is so brief-and comes so late!
There is so much that lures us on ahead
We have no time to sense the others

The fact that many Americans are
active-minded and interested in many

especially intolerant of bores. 1t may
be said. indeed, that this intolerance

He escapes from their presence at the
first opportunity; he evades and
avoids them; he is busy when he sees
them coming. and he has urgent en-
