DOBBIN COMING BACK.
It looked as though the horse was doomed, the way the motor business boomed, and Dobbin, steed of sterling worth, prepared to tumble oil' the earth. Town dwellers tried to give away the surry ami the nne-hoss shay, and every other wheeled machine that wasn’t run by gasoline. And any man who drove a. boss was looked on as a iotal loss; we wouldn’t bow to such a dul), or have him at the Country Club; bis wife no longer we’d invite, when we had tea or euchre fight. But we begin to realise that he who drives a horse is wise, for no horseowner e'er is seen lo fill his steed with gasoline. A. horse eats hay, and hay is idicap; oae halo in luxury will keep a charger for throe days or live, no odds how hard a. man may drive. But it you Jill your min with hay and fry to rim, the ihiiig ilml way, it will mb wag its tail and ears, or go a fool in forty years. The owner of a car, alas, must blow bis substance in for gas, and as the sparkling Juice lie pours, the tierce old price still higher soars.
