Show ALMOST HUMAN. 1 We take the following from the Massachusetts t Ploughman: Farmer William 1L Ellis of Bloomingburg, X. Y., owns a little white mare called Whitefoot. Every school-day morning Whitefoot hauls Mr. Ellis' two little girls in a wagon to the school house, k f a mile from home, and after leaving the cliildren I, there the little marc turns round and trqfs back to her master's house without any driver." When the school closing hour approaches, Mr. Ellis hitches Whitefoot up and Marts, her off alone for the school house and in due time she comes back with the little girls'.. She is so careful and "expert in passing vehicles oil the road tliat she never has a coll lsion or damages her harness. - On Sunday night last Mr. Ellis' hired man drove Whitefoot oyer to Middleton on" his way to Xcw Aork. Before embarking Nou the cars here he attached at-tached a piece of paper to the wagon seat containing con-taining this notice: "Don't ston this. marq. She belongs to William IL Ellis, Bloomingburg, and will go home all right," and then", turning the mare's head homeward, he let her go. Sure, enough, she covered the distance,, a Iwig nine milese, in safety, and at a pace that brought her home in about an hour. -- - |
