His Horse Is Better
We are pleased to learn that Mr. Moore’s horse which has not
eaten anything for more than a week was able to take food yesterday morning and
that has been mighty pleasing to Mr. Moore, who feels toward that horse as one
of the family for he has driven him on the route to Saratoga which is Route 4
from Wilson for 13 years. This was not as nice as a Christmas to the old
gentleman who has served his people faithfully all these years, as it might
have been, for this is the first time he says he was not remembered at all by
some one on his route. In other words it shows that sometimes we are more
generous in adversity than in plenty, for a fellow feeling makes us wondrous
kind.
