JIM KEYS liLlL])lN-(; AT THE EXPORT EXPOSITION, PHILADELPHIA. 



R 



How was Beautiful Jim Key taught ? How did his teacher, 

 Dr. Key, come to notice the extra intelhgence this horse 

 possessed? What breed is he? And a dozen similar ques- 

 tions are asked so often, that the writer has tried to give 

 in the following pages, the answers to them all. The 

 beautiful and touching story is related, of the devotion of 

 the typical old Uncle Tom, "Dr. VVm. Key," to his master during 

 the civil war, and the romantic story of the stealing from 

 Sheik Ahemid, in Arabia, of the famous Lauretta, known 

 as the Mother of Horses, and who was the dam of Beautiful 

 Jim Key. 



The illustrations cover Beautiful Jim Key's principal acts.
