and I pick up the card marked "o" or naught. Well, Master told 

 me to do that just to make the people laugh. I don't see anything 

 funny about it. But then I'm only a horse and I can't understand 

 everything that's humorous and funny. But just as sure as I am a 

 hidy I have seen thousands of men that I admired and thought were 

 fine-looking gentlemen whom I said were "not good-looking" just 

 because it \vas all in the play. 



CHAPTER XIII. 



.//; IiidlspHtahle Uitness. 



My Dear Reader, — As a fitting finale to this pleasing brochure 

 I wish to write that I have read carefully every word Princess 

 Trixie has said through the happy interpretation of Mr. Geo. L. 

 Hutchin, who is sponsor for this most interesting w-ork, and I wish 

 to add that I believe every word is given just as Princess Trixie 

 tells me many times a day. I know her better, perhaps, than any 

 living soul, and am able to speak wath authority of her merits. 

 Beyond cavil Princess Trixie possesses a knowledge that is almost 

 human. Her understanding is beyond comprehension, as no other 

 subject of the animal kingdom can perform her wondrous problems. 

 She does her work unaided and she executes it thoroughly. Her 

 talent and genius are marvels of art in equine culture. Her style 

 of work is far different from that of the so-called "trained" horses. 

 She acts by her own will and understanding. 



Princess Trixie has done more for the cause of humane treat- 

 ment of animals than any man or animal in the world has done. 

 She is an honorary' member of every Humane Society in Europe 

 and America. She dearly loves little children and is ver}' fond of 

 wom/en. Bej'ond peradventure Princess Trixie possesses a knowl- 

 edge that surpasses all other animals. She is endowed with gifts 

 that are intended for the betterment of all animals. Her acts and 

 deeds show us the dumb brute's power of understanding and we 

 are able to realize that the human family has greatly misjudged, 

 misunderstood and mistreated that noble animal, man's best friend, 

 the horse.
