JOHN HENRY GOES
SLEIGHRIDING.

~ AY! isn't it great to get all
wrapped up in fur robes
~ in fine old sleigh and let
a fine old horse drag you over
the fine old snow on fine old
country road?
Answer: 1t is.
It's great if all the ingredi-
ents are properly proportioned,
but nine times out of ten some-
thing goes wrong with the horse
or the sleigh or the snow or the
road and you find yourself four
miles from nowhere, sitting on
an ice hummock and screaming
for transportation, while the
harsh winds of winter are biting
their initials on your southern
exposure.
Peaches and | went to visit
Uncle Peter and Aunt Martha
up state, and when friend wife
found the ground covered with
snow, right away she, began to
sit up and beg for a sleigh ride.
She said that the sweet jingle
iangle of the bells would bring
rest to her nerves after a season
of trying to cross the streets in
New York without being struck
by taXicab, so Uncle Peter told
me where to find livery stable
and off ! hiked.
Anyone who has ever lived in
a semi-rural town will doubt
less recall what handsome speci-
mems Of equine perfection may
be found in the local livery sta
ble-not.
The liveryman in the town
where Uncle Peter lives is
named Henlopen Laffenwell,
land he looks the part.
| Judged from the excited
manner in which he grabbed my
deposit money that he had a
note falling due next day.
Then Henlopen shut his eyes,

out to argue with him.
Just when | had picked out a
good sized hunk of ice which
was to be my argument, Lohen-
grin came out of his trance and
started off, but Peaches forgot
her instructions and spoke
above whisper and he stopped
again.
Then | took the reins, cracked
the whip, shouted few para

away we rushed like the wind
when it isn't blowing hard.
The hours flew by and we
must have gone at least half a
mile, when another Kerosene
Wagon came bouncing toward
, us from the opposite direction.
In it was quite a happy party
Of ladies and gentlemen, who
were laughing and chatting
about some people they had just
run over.
Lohengrln saw them coming
and stopped still in the middle
of the road. Then he hung his
head as low as he could, and |

supplied with hands he would
have put them over his ears.

hilled by us at the rate of about
a 800 fine, while the lady pas
sengers in the cabin de luxe
stood up and began to hand out
medals to each other because
they didn't run us down.
Ten minutes later Lohengrin
came to and looked over his
shoulder at us with a smile as
serene as the morning and once
more resumed his mad career
onward, ever onward.
We were now about two miles
from home, and suddenly we
came across a big red touring
car which stood in front Of a
roadhouse, sneezing inwardly
and sobbing with all its CORFU
gated heart.
Lohengrin saw the machine
before we did,
