n HORSE SENSE n
Q Bv "H. S., the Motion Picture Man." £J
q I was out in the West, taking pictures last year, t-r
w Among some old farmers quite funny and queer. *-,
JlJ When I'd got all the horses, the sheep and the barn, fe»
J-l I sat down and listened to this interesting yarn: *-A
Y~t "I wuz plowin' fer ole farmer Hoskins one day, >*-,
!~* When suthin' I done caused ole Hoskins ter say, ^~
'Why Simson, yer orter know'd better o' course;
0 Yer dont seem ter hev as much sense as a horse.' 0
0 It made me so mad that I nigh pulled his hair, 0
But I laid down my lines and I quit 'im right there.
0 That 'hoss sense' remark made me feel sore, an' blue; 0
0 Till one clay it struck me as bein' durn true; 0
Fer, they say that man's work is from sun unto sun,
j_. While the work 'o his better-half's never quite done. w
y But the hoss goes to rest in his stall in the stable, fc;
0 Afore you set down to yer own supper table. ^4
>-, An' then he dont hev ter worry at all
jl} About his_ bed bein' made in his stall ; *_,
>-*■ An' his meals brot to him three times a day, !~z,
0 Fer which he dont hev a durn cent to pay; J-l
0 Ev'ry day reg'lar, a groom comes aroun' 0
0 With brush an' curry-comb, an' sleeks him down. 0
He goes out in peace to the pasture to graze, 0 An' he dont hev to worry 'bout a family t' raise.
0 It costs him nothin' fer the shoes on his feet, 0
An' all he hez ter do is ter gad roun' the street; 0 w So I hev concluded that a hoss hez good sense,
ti When he dont run away 'er jump over the fence. w
J-l An' while the ole hoss has no money ter spend, jrz
0 He's got iest as much as we hev in the end. J-J
o n
Y~t An' last, but not least, he escapes the most cruel,
pj Cuz he hez no soul out of which ter make fuel. Z2
0 But it's lots of relief fer a feller ter know, ^
0 That, fer all the hard work he hez done here below, 0
0 An' the kind lovin' faith what he hez in the Lord, 0
0 There'll sure come a time fer his golden reward. 0
w An' mind what I tell yer, it'll soon come true:
H The ole hoss'll soon hev nothin' ter do ; w
y Fer all the carriages that's now on wheels, JiJ
0 Will soon be turned inter autermobiles !" J-l
