REFUSED TO HURT BABIES
Two Stories That Prove Gentieness of

Were Concerned.

Are horses peculiarly gentle with
babies? 1t seems fair question. Ger

Our neighbor, says our contributor,
had field one corner of which came
up to his dooryard. One day while he
was blowing he stopped when he
reached the corner and, leaving the
horses standing in the furroW, went
to the pump for a drink. AS soon as
he returned he took up the pillow
handles and spoke to the horses. They
did not move. He spoke again, sharply.
Still they did not move. Astonished
and vexed, he struck them with the
whip. Still they stood immovable :;
and then he realized that something
must be wrong. He went to their
heads, and there in the furrow in front
of them he saw his toddling baby boy
The two-year old daughter of a
friend of mine In Denver had an eX-
perience a good deal more astonishing
than that of the baby boys. The little
girl managed to stray away from in
front of the house where she had been
playing. There was long search in
which the police and the fire depart
ment joined; but it was unsuccessful.
Finally, in livery stable two miles
away some men who were working
there thought they heard little COO
ing voice. They were Mortified, for 1t
seemed to come from the stall of an
exceedingly vicious horse that even
the grooms approached cautiously and
with dread. The men looked into
the stall and saw the baby patting the
horses hind leg and calling him nice
