The other day cheap skate pestered
nie a whole afteruoou talking iibont
buying a horse. He tried out nil the
nags In the barn and finally decided
tliat the glass eyed bay would suit
biUL. And be actually wanted a writ
ten guarantee tnnt the horse, was
sound! A written guarantee! No, gen
tlemen, I am not Joking. That bald
beaded travesty on a man actuully
asked for such a document. I regarded
It as an Insult, and after I had rebuked
him they hnd to pour four buckets of
water over him before he recovered. .
"In the good old days horse trading
was a game, not a commercial transac
tion. If a man wasn't willing to take
the chances when he went trading lie
was advised to try some other line of
business. Many and ninny a time I
j fiad the harpoon administered to me.
One day Major Chnrlle Slaughter
drove to my barn.
" 'I have quite a neat package of
horseflesh here,' said the major, 'and
I have a sort of presentiment that he
can travel a few lines when the wind
Is blowing In the right direction.'
"His horse was a handsome roan, a
regular peacock for style, with his
head away up in the air so you'd ncd
a stepladder to see if he had a star
on his forehead. And the way he hit
the road was a sin. Talk about galted
horses! That roan handled bis legs
as though he bad taken sparring les
sons. Now, my, weak point In the
horse business Is that when I want
a certain nag the worst way I can't
conceal the fact. I Just can't sleep or
eat my victuals until that horse is In
my. barn with a new . halter on him.
The major was wise to my weakness.
" 'It's no use, Jake,' says the major.
'Thin hoss Isn't on my swapping list.
Every roan hair ou him Just suits me,
and I'd be a chump to let him go.' .
"Well, of course I got the roiiu nil
right. The major was Just blu!lliijr.
And I gave him the biggest trnde you
ever heard of gave him a matched
team mid several bills for that gnu- j
gang roan. Alia wuen l toon tlie'i'o.'iii
to the water trough for n drink I found
that l;c e. til'u't lower his bead. He
had to curry it about ten feet In the air
nil the time, owing to some Injury In
his neck. He hnd to ent his flaked 'rice
off u shelf and drink from a jjardon
hose, tuid it man needed an aeroplane
to put a brlte on hlni.
"i)ld I raise a fuss wllb the majr?
What snrt of skate do you tnl;e me
for? Nest '.line I met him I told him
I liked the roan better than any horse
I ever saw. 'lie bsu't always rooting
In the ground like a pig.' said I. 'and
If you had told me about bis patent
dirigible neck I'd have given you $10
more.' We were sports In those days.
"One time the veterinary surgeon
told me about a fine trotting horse In a
town some distance away which bad
been deprived of Its tail by n surgical
operation. 1. went and looked at the
horse. lie was a perfect beauty nnd
could trot like nu nvahinche. But he
bad just a stump of a tall, and the
owner was ashamed to drive him, sa
I bought the critter for a song. " 1 weut

for him. It was a beautiful, flowing
tall, a credit to the) hairdresser's nrt.

stUD tall nnd was then fastenen to the
crupper of the harness, and a man
needed good eyes to see that it wasn't
the real thing.
'The major had poor eyes, and when
took him for a drive behind that
blnck trotter he simply had to be tied
down to the seat he was so excited,
lie said he'd Always wanted a horse
with a tall like that. lie had my own
weakness. He couldn't pretend indif
ference when ho wanted a thhig the
worst way, and he wonted that horse
so bad that his hair was falling out.
After a great deal of deliberation I
issued ray ultimatum.
"Til give you the horse, harness
and buggy Just as tbey stand,' said I,
for your sorrel three-year-olds and
$50.' Either of the sorrels was worth a
herd of horses like the black.
" 'It's a trade,' cried the major.
"Next morning the major came
around tp my barn all smiles. 'Ever
Blnce I was a child and quit playing
with n rattle,' says he. 'I have wanted
a horse with a detachable tall a tall
that a man could take off nnd use as
chin whiskers at a masked ball. I just
called to pay you another 50 cents, so
that when I meet you after this yon
can't say I took advantage of you In
our trade yesterday.'
Oh, there were real sport in those
day."--Walt Mason In Chicago Nws.

Humorous Hits That Have Helped to

A publisher once gave the follow
ing: "Woman, the fairesi work In all
creation. The edition Is large, aud uo
man should be without a copy."
This is fairly seconded by a youth
who, giving his distant sweetheart,
said, "Delectable dear, so sweet that
honey would blush In her presence and
treacle stand appalled."
Further. In regard to the fair sex,
we have: "Woman she needs no eu
logy. She speaks for herself." "Wo
man, the bitter half of man."
In regard to matrimony some bach
elor once gave, "Slarrlage. the gate
through which the happy lover leaves
hla enchanted ground and returns to
earth."
At the marriage of a deaf and dumb
couple some wit wished them "un
speakable bliss."
At a supper given to a writer' of

very good health. May he live to be
