NOT LIKE NEW EXPERIENCE
Butcher Had Suffered Before From
the Franks INDUCED in by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricities Of Yankee char
acter are innumerable. and they are
almost always amusing. In Maine
town a gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn when
the horse of the village butcher-a
rather frisky animal-came dashing
madly over terrace from the street,
flinging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with a shoulder of beef
on top of him, and big block of ice
thumped with good deal of force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
1T and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. AS
soon as he could be restored to con-
seriousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move. found
he could not. gave sickly smile, and
then said, jalntily:
"Oh, it's nothing! don't mind. I'm
used to it."
