Show Slow Horses. It was during mess hour at a sawmill saw-mill camp that the slowness of horses came up for discussion. "There's Kelly's old gray; you couldn't whip her Into a trot," said one. "Johnson's black mure- will beat that; sho refuses to help herself to the barley at night, for most times she Isn't through eating her dlnnor," said another "Old Water's splndle-shank tnkes tho prize," put In n third; "Bhe's double-Jointed In the knees she walks bplh ways at once." 'I stood out on the road," drolled Shopard, coming In late for his dinner, "for twenty minutes talking to Myers; and all that tlmo his bay mare never stoppod." San Francisco Chronicle. |
