 This Horse Has His Day
 The advice so often given motor. ists in trouble to 'Sell It and Buy Horse' has always been considered rather a crude sort of humor bui the fact remains that there are oc- casions on which even an automo- bile operator may welcome the ap- proach Of an equine. Such an in stance was observed yesterday in the Forestville section of the city. light truck of rather ancient vintage became stalled and all efforts on the part of the owner to get 1t started proved unavailing. After a consid- erable length of time. the horse. at tached to light delivery wagon, en- tered the picture and was immedi- ately drafted into service. When last seen it was jogging along unconcern- edly towing both his own wagon and the disabled truck.
