They Say You Can Tell How Old a Horse Is by His Teeth, but This Old Codger Never Cracked a Smile. mi )- -vT. have been anxious for a long time to visit my folks in Xiles, Mich. So we packed up and went to Wawasee Lake and when her family seen us comeing they forced a smile. WELL the time past quick down there as it is the biggest lake in Ind. and over your head in some places and every day I went fishing up to the time I finely caught the fish and after that I played golf as they have a 9 hole course that a old man and a horse takes Care of it and the horse also acts as a roving hazard when he isn't busy mowing the fair way with his teeth and they say you can tell how old a horse is by looking at his teeth but this old codger never cracks a smile so all as you can do is guess, but judging by the fair way I would say he was about 2 wks. of age. One day they was a bird from Ft. Wayne playing the course and he was sore because you half to plav all vour brassey shots with a niblick ami he was on the 3d. hole which runs along the B. and O. from GaTy to Fostoria and it looked like he would get on what they call the green with his 12th. and maybe sink his putt for a eagle 13 and just then the old man and Rover popped up from nowheres and he asked them if you played winter golf on this course. Well the horse didn't pay no tension but the old man said he guest not as it gets pretty cold down here. Well, I been staying at nty aunt in law in Goshen since the world serious and they 'keep a chicken and believe me I am never late for breakfast though I sometimes sot up til 8:30 playing halma but now I guess I better bet-ter cut this letter short as if the genial editor prints this letter in toto to use the Latin, I am afraid he won't have no rm. left for the doad people and gags so I will save the rest of the uews for tho next time.
