PATRIOTIC BLACKSMITH.
The following story was recently related by a blacksmith of Bulls ; -—On Monday I was one of many to bid farewell at (freatford to the Bulls boys who were leaving for the front. At that send-off there were brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and wives of those gallant fellows, and I need hardly add there was also a moist eye. On arriving back at the shop there was a young man with a horse to shoe. This man was single, with no dependents, and looked physically fit and eligible. The farewell and the rather bad war news that’morning had left an impression, and to shoe that horse for profit was treacherous to that impression. I told this man I could not shoe his horse and why.”
