LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH.

We happened to hold converse with a
horse sheer the other day He is n vet =
eran who can remember the day when
he not only had to forge his own shoes,
but even the nails that tackled them on
He says that horses are like little boys
Some of them are intensely proud of n
new pair of shoes. He mentioned one
mare that tries to turn in at the shop
door every time she passes. She is so
fond Of the feel of new shoes that she
fairly Frances when she leaves the shop
Then he told about the old doctor's old
mare that would come by herself to the
shop whenever she was loose. Il always
had to pick up her shoes and look at
them said the smith 'If happened to
be busy she would hang around for an
hour and wait for me to examine her
feet. If any work was needed | did it,
and charged it up to the doctor. If her
shoes were all right | would give them n
few taps with the hammer. and then the
old girl was satisfied" The smith shinks
that mares are prouder than geldngs Of
a new pair of shoes. He attributes this
to natural feminine good sense. rather
than vanity We don't vouch for the
truth of his anecdotes. but We will say
is is hard to find a more interesting man
than this blacksmith-or any blacksmith
