THE horse's rescue. Ill 



Eeader, this has been going on in this way for many 

 years. I will say right here that I never received but 

 five dollars in forty-one years aside from the price of

 creator made them, before man tried to improve on 

 them. They stand with their forward legs back of 

 straight; heads up, neck arched, head in, with mouth 

 closed; weight equalized on center of all four feet;
