THE PRAYER
 OF A HORSE
By Laurence E. Cash.

O MAN, my Lord and Master, hear Thou my prayer:
 Water me, feed me, keep me clean and work me in reason. O Lord, when my days work be done give me shel- ter from rain, wind and cold and a clean, dry bed in a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. Do not tie my head in unnatural pc sition or cut off my tail, which is my only defense against flies. Do not, O Man, drive me rapidly down hill. O Lord, do be merciful and consider ate of me in hot weather, and do not kick, strike or otherwise abuse me when 1 do not understand your de SireS. Prod Ine not with mercileSS spurs. Teach Thou me to understand Thy desires Speak gently unto me, O Lord, Thy voice means more to sense of humor. Play with me, and pet me, O Man. and I will gladly lend myself to Thee in willing service.
 Have mercy on me. O Master, when have collie, and do give me one spoon full of Di-Col-Q. It will relieve me me with Di-Col-Q. And, O Master, when I be galled, have sores on shoulders or back, wire cuts, scratches, mango or swellings, apply Thou Di- Colo to mine affected parts and I will praise Thee for relief from mine oAIiiNbioAS- 1Cl-SOl-Nl WILL 0uaDl0 me to do Thy bidding with delight.
 O Man, Di-Col-Q is just as good for similar human ills.
 Remember, O Lord, Di-Col-Q is made in mercy by New York Drug Concern 4O1 Lafayette Street, New York City. Praise Thou this firm for their allevi- ation of beastly ills.
 O Master, when I fail to eat exam inc my mouth for the cause Do not work me when can not eat Be mer- ciful unto me O Man. and I will serve Thee and Thy family many years with glad heart
 Finally, Lord, when my youthful beauty and strength be gone, and my days of service ended. neither turn me out to starve and freeze, nor sell me to some cruel man to be tortured. O Man, if Thou be financially unable to care for me in my old days, take Thou my life in the kindest way
 Hear and answer my prayer, O my Lord. and YOUR God will reward you both here and in the hereafter.
 With all reverence I so pray unto Thee in the name of Him, who was born in manger.-AMEN.
