Valued at $100,000- 

 His New Owner. 



First Exhibited. 



While at the Nashville Exposition, Mr. A. R. Rogers, a business 

 man of New York, saw for the first time this marvellous, intelligent 

 animal. Being very greatly interested in humane societies, and a great 

 lover of horses in particular, he purchased from Dr. Key for $10,000 

 this beautiful animal, but Dr. Key put in the contract a clause to this 

 effect: I am always to be Jim Key's groom and teacher," for he would 

 not part with his pet. So North went Jim and Dr. Key to Mr. Rogers' 

 beautiful country home in the Oranges, a suburb of New York, and 

 here for a year Jim was given his finishing touches before he was ever 

 put on public exhibition. Since that time many oflfers have been made 

 to buy Jim, one party offering $60,000, but Jim Key is not for sale at 

 any price, for not only does he earn more money than any other horse, 

 but he is a missionary. 



Teaches People to be Kind to Animals. 



Last year at his performances over 185,000 boys and girls promised 

 him to always be kind to animals, and thousands of adults after seeing 

 his remarkable performance have gone away with the same resolve in 

 their hearts.
