Mr.. T. s.. 1Dutt, OF this vicinity, it is

two ribs. 1t is believed that he will
be able to go about shortly.
Mr.. Joe Keyser of Mulat who run
q hack between here and Pace, was
returning here last Monday, when
about mile away he. stopped his
team and alighted to remove some
poles, lying partly in the road. He
just dropped the lines, never dreaming
that his horses would move, since he
considered them gentle; but as he
threw one pole into the bushes, the
horses became frightened, or pretended
so, and sprang away down the road
with John Gilpin speed, nor ceased
their flight until hundred yards from
home the tongue of the hack struck
a telegraph pole and snapped short
off. This slight damage pacified the
parting team which now walked
quietly up to the yard fence and
waited patiently for Joe to come up
and give them his blessing. But Joe,
although he had tramped through the
slush nearly mile, was SO well sat
isf1ed with the small damage done, that
he did not utter one solitary bad
word-that is that anybody heard;
what he thought is his own affair.
The moral to this is: Don't ever leave
your perfectly docile team unhitched
trusting to its gentleness to stand
quite still until you move it.
