I do not mean the pets of the equine species, ridden by generals, pollcemea, or weight reducers in Central park, but the horse in its natural state, attached to a wagon or truck. You find them down on West street, around the market section, pulling milk wagons, and com lug across the bridges from Long Island truck farms, or, in summer, dragging a wagon full of bright and potted plants. I can remember when there were ordinances providing that, if any horse showed alarm at an automobile, the owner of the gas-buggy must pull to the side of the road and stop his motor. And it was no light thing to stop a motor In those days of cranking. The chances were good that It might require an hour to get It started again. But now the horses do not mind machines. They have become resigned. "r Pfcoee Richmond 16 Dr, JOHN DtJCET £ VETERINARIAN TB and Blood Testing WtCEMOND.

To these boxes he 'attached empty tin cans. Thus customers at the unoccupied station could help themselves and drop the money in the can, cafeteria, fashion. A lone horse 'and wagon was stopped by the traffic light beside one of the boxes on which the apples were plied. The apple seller was on the opposite corner, completely shut off by the moving traffic. The horse readied out and helped Itself to apples, neglecting to put any money in the tin can. The driver was Improving the short rest by reading a tabloid. Only the apple seller saw what was going on and there was nothing be could do about It. , . It was at a corner of ElglWy-fltst street that I saw another horse waiting for the light to change. It was in the front rank of halted traffic and a teacher was crossing the street with a horde of small pupils. When the driver, a countryman, saw some of the city children look at the horgg a bit apprehensively--they probably never had been that close to a horse before --he Immediately grew important. "Go right ahead, lady," he called. "Go right along, children. It's all right. Cross right over.

A boy In his late teens sat on the bench, his head thrown back, his eyes half closed, long sweeping'lashes against white cheeks. He leaned forward, his head bent a trifle, and the notes pealed forth like bells; then, dexterously his hands flashed the length of the keyboard, tested there a second, and with a final throw of his handsome head, he crashed Into a resounding finale and his wrists went limp as his hands dropped into his lap. A wild burst of applause from his classmates followed. Mr. Leavitt laid his hand on the boy's shoulder. "A wonderful gift, my boy. You are blessed Indeed and Harhurst is proud of you."
