A Baking Horse

Mr.. Editor: I once owned a

about it filed the eye of all who

was baking. This habit often
hindered me from going or &C
complishing what I desired.

rs beauty, size, age, ETC., l
could not think of him as | really
wanted to think. Neither would
he sell or trade for what he
would have brought had he not
had the habit Of baking. This
horse often gave serious trouble
and caused great dissatisfaction.
Sometimes I think this is true
