An interesting outfit went through the
village few days since. A motor truck
was carrying on its platform arace horse
safely Grated, while the sulky, tied on
behind, trailed the truck. OF course q
race horse is only delicate toy made OF
flesh and blood, and its proper use is not
to furnish transportation, even for its
own body, over the country, still the
thing somehow looked almost like an
embodied sarcasm.
