The Herse-liar.

A horse li:«r i» a maa who hab had a horse whieh eonU go in 2;20. He hasn't got hira now. but that do«-sn t nmke anv ditfer- j enee. He has driven that horse in a race with an express traiu and taken first n)oney. And he also had a running horse whieh made a dash of 25 miles on a bet of $5.000. He hasn t tbe horse or the money at tlie present time, bnt Le ean give you the names of dozen leading bank presidents and justices who saw that dash. The horse liar doesn't stop at lyiug about his owu horse, bat Le is ready to put in his best licks about animals he never saw. He is in the confidence of the owners of all the celebrated equines. In his own opuiou such a track is short, and such a track is long. He doesn’t believe Rarus was mneh of a horse, aud he feels that he could drive Goldsmith Maid in three seconds faster than she recorded. He is the identical man who first saw speetl in Flora Temple, and if he had wanted to be mean about it Le eoukl have bought her for $10 and an old plow. and made $5,000 out of the trade. He knows all about spavins, ringbones, poll evil, pink eye, and glanders. and he has a sure cure for eaeh oue. His seat is on the head 'of the second cracker barrel from the stove, eaeh evening through the winter, and when he comes across somo one who had invested $15 and a acrosscut saw in an old plug of a horse, to use in a cider mill, he is in his glory. He knows all about that horse, been an awful good stepiier; saw him run away onee and kill to women; Kurey tried to tame him, but had to give it up. reckon he eouhl go oat now and give raost of the boys dust; and so on until the groce- rubs his sleepy eyes and regretfully says; “Oome. you liars, it's time to loek up aml go home.’’ —Detriot Free Press.
