DON'T FORGET THE HORSE!
There Was Another Hero in Wild Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere,
 Reminds Writer.

Paul RevereS name was made i'm mortal when he rode from Boston to Lexington and Concord, warning the patriots along the way of the British approach, and his fame has been se- curely enshrined in the hearts of all Americans.
 Historians have honored themselves in honoring him. Poets have found in spiration in praising him. He is an idol of childhood, an example in the prime. of manhood and solacing mem ory of old age.
 How few characters loom up like great peaks above the mountain ranges of time
 And Paul Revere was one of these. He was one of the precious few great enough to grasp an opportunity to do an incalculable good to mankind.
 But while we give deserved glory to Paul Revere, let us no longer forget that there was another hero in that wild midnight ride, says a writer in the Christian Herald.
 There was the horse.
 Any other horse might have done as we'll" you think? Well, so might any other man have done as well, perhaps. So might we flippantly disparage any hero
 But the fact remains that it was Paul Rever's horse that did it. And the harder work fell on the horse. But for the true horses faithfulness, Paul Re we're would have been failure.
