A FAMOUS STORY.
f*
The Horse Swappers at Depicted ,
in Georgia Scene*.
HOW BLOSSOM WAS FOOLED
When He Swapped Bullet and
Gave Three Dollars to Boot
tor Another KB, the
"Critter "
In the "Georgia Sooncs" is tho typioal
pioturo of horso swapping in tho
olden days, whioh may prove interesting
to tho prcsont generation.
It is tho story of how Yollow Biost>om
bantered l'otor Kctoh and watt
properly caught. Yellow Blossom bolievcd
that ho was just a "lectio bit" of
tho best man at a horso swap that "ovor
trod in shoo leather." After dosorib
icg Bullet, Blossom s horse, and Kit,
the "orittcr" owned by l'ctor Kotoh, at
iotoo length, tho story prooocds as follows:
"I toll you, roan," proceeded Yellow
Blossom, "he is tho best live hors that
evor trod tho grit of Georgia Bob Smart
knows the horso. Como hero. B?b,
and mount this horse and show Bullets
motions." Hero Bullot bristled up
and looked as if ho had boon hunting
Bob all day long and had just found
him. Bob sprang on his hack. "Boo
oo-oc!" said Bob with a fluttering noise
of tho lips, uod away wont Bullet
as if in a quarter race with all his boau
ties spread in handsomo Htylo.
"Now fetch him bask," said Blossom
Bullet turned and oamu in pretty much
as ho went out
"Now, t'ot h:m by," Bullet reduced
his tail to customary, sidled to tho
right and left fairly, and exhibited a*
loast throo varieties of trot in tho shoit
spaco of fifty yards.
"Make him pace." Boh commerced
twitohingtho hridlo, and kicking at the
same timo. TheBO inconsistent m )vo
mcnls obviously aud most taturaUy
uisooncertcd Uullot, for it was iruj?ohm
bio for him to lcara from tho method
whether ho wkh to proceed or stand
Btill. Ho started to trot and was told
that wouldn't do. Ho attempted a eau
tor, and wan chocked again, ilo atop'
pod and wbh urged to go on. Mullet
now rushed into tho wide field of ex
poriuiont, and Atruok put on a gait of
his own that oouiplotely turned the
tables on his rider and certainly deserved
a patent. It seemed to have dorived
its eloiuonts from tho jig, tho
miBuet and the cotilliou. If it wss not
a paoo in it. no man would v< nto
oall it anything else; so it passed otl
to tho satisfaction of tho ownor.
''Walk him!" Bullot was now at
homo again, and ho walked as if money
was staked on him.
Tho straDgor whoso name 1 aftorwardB
learned was Meter Kotoh, having
examined Bullet to his heart's oontont,
ordered his son Neddy to go and bring
up Kit. Neddy soon appeared upon
Kit a woll formed Borrol of ihc middlo
size, and in good order. Hiu tout
onBemblofl threw Bullot entirely in the
shade, though a glanoo was sufficient to
satisfy any one that Bullet had tho
deoided advantage of him in point of
intelloot.
After a few banters, Meter Ketch is
quoted:
"Neddy tako a couple of sticks and
boat on that hogshead at Kit's tail."
Ned mado a tremendous rattling at
which Bullot took fright, broko his
bridlo and dashed oil in grand style, and
would have stopped all further negotiations
by going home in disgust had not
a travolor arrosted him and brought him
baok; but Kit did not move.
"1 tell you, gentlemen," ooutinued
Peter, "he's tho eoariott horse you ovor
Haw. Ho ain't as gcntlo as Bullot, but
he won't do any harm if you watch him.
Shall I put him in a oart, g'g or wagon
for you, stranger? Ho will out tho samo
oaper thoro ho does horo. lie's a mon
atrous menn horso."
During all this timo Blossom was ex
amining him with tho nioost soruting.
Having examining his frame and limbs
ho now looked at his cyos.
"He's got a ouiious look out of his
oycB," said Blossom.
"Oh yes sir." said Motor, "just as
blind a bat. Blind horses always liavo
olear oyos. Mako a motion at his oyes
if you ploaso; sir. '
Blossom did so, and Kit throw up
his head, railicr as if something prioked
him undor the ohin than as if foaring
a blow. Blossom repeated tho cxpori
ment, and Kit jerked back is consider
ablo astonishment.
"Stone blind, you boo, gontlomcn,"
proooodod Poter, "but slio's just aH
Rood to travel of a dark night as if she
bad oycB."
"Blamo your buttons," said Blossom.
"if 1 like them eyes.
"No," Baid Potor, "nor I either. I d
rather have them mado of diamonds,
but thoy'll do?if thov don't show as
muoh white as Bullet's."
"Well, said Blossom, "make a pass
at mo."
"No said Potor, "you mado the banter;
now make your pass."
"Well, I'm novor afraid to price my
horse. You must givo mo $25 to boot "
"Oh cortainly, say $50 and my sad
dlo and bridle in. Hero Neddy, my son,
take daddy's horso."
"Woll," said Blossom, "l'vo mado
my pass, now mako yours."
"1 am for short talk in horso swap
and thoroforo always toll a gentleman at
onoo what I moan to do. You must
givo mo $10."
Blossom swore absolutoly, roundly
and profanoly that ho novor would vivo
boot.
4VVoll," said Petor, "I didn't oaro
about trading; but vou out such hiirh
shines, that I thought I'd like, to baok
you out, and l'vo dono it. Gonticmon,
you see I've brought him to a hack "
"Come old man." mid Blossom,
/I've been Joking with you. I begin
to think you do want to trado.
Therefore, givo mo $5 and take Bullet.
I'd rather lose 110 any timo than not
make a trade, though I hato to fling
away a good nerse..
"Woll," said Peter, "I'll bo asolcver
as you are. Just put the $5 on Bullet's
t>aok, and hand him over; it's a trade."
Blossom swore again, as roundly as
before, that he would not give boot, and
said he: "Bullet wouldn't hold $5 on
ILl
i j niUdfifjd
bin bask. nohow. Hut at 1 banUrcd
you. if you Fay an eveu swap, bore's at
you."
"1 told you," said l'owr, 4 I'd bo as
olovcr as you; therefore, hero eoos *2
uioro, just for trade's sake. Qivo mo
$3 ana it's a bargain."
Blossom repeated his former assertion,
and horc partii s st >od for a long
time, and the bystanders; many were
now collected, began to taunt both par
tios. After some time, however, it was
pretty unanimously decided thai the
old man had backed Blossom out.
At lcDgth Blossom Bworo ho 4lnovcr
would be backed out for $3, after ban
toriog a man," and accordingly they
closed tho trade.
44Now" paid Blossom, as he handed
l'otcr the $3, "I am a man that, when
ho makes a had trade, makes tho most
of it until ho oau mako a better. I'm
for no rues ami after claps."
"That's ju6t uiy way," said Moter:
"I never goes to law to mend my bargains."
"Ah, you'ro the kind oi a boy I lovo
to trado with. Hero's your boss, old
man. Take the and saddle bridle oft him,
and. I'll strip yours; but lift tho blanket
easy from Mullet's back, for ho'B a
mighty tender backed hoaa."
The old man removed tho saddlo, but
tho blanket stuck fast. Ho attempted
to raiso it, and Mullet bowed himself,
switched bis tail and g?\e signs of Hiting.
"Don't hurt him, * old man," said
Blossom archly, "tako it off easy. I
am, perhaps, a lectio of the bost man
at a horse swap that cvor catehed a
00011."
Motor continued to pull at the blanket
tuoro and moro roughly, and Mullet
became more and moro eavortish, insomuch
that when the blanket oauio < II
ho had?reaohcd tho kicking point in
good earnest.
Tho removal of tho blanket disolosod
a sore of Bullot's backbone thai t-e m
cd to liavo dt ii id all medical -.kill. ll
measured six lull itchos in length, aud
four in broadtn, aed had as m?'iy feat
uros as Mullet had motions. My heart
sickened at thought, arnl I 1 ?* 11 that

that situation desorvtd the li \ltcr

od to provoke by variou-? remarks, lie
asked the old man if he thought If illrt
would lot ^f) lio on his back. He declared
most si riously that he had owned
that horse three months, and h?d u?vcr
discovered before that lie bad a hi to
back, "or ho never would have tuougtil
of trading him, etc., etc."
Tho old man boro it all with the most
philosophic composure. Ho cvinoed no
astonishment at his lato discovery, and
made no replies, but bis own son Neddy
had not disciplined his feelings
<juiio so well. His eyes openod widor
and wider. From tho first to tho last
pull of the blanket, and when tho whole
soro burst upon bis view, astonishment
and fright seemed to ocnicnd for the
mastery of his oountenancc. As the
blanket disappeared bo stuck his hand
into his brooches pockets, heaved a
dcop sigh aud lapsed into a profound
reverie, from which he was only aroused
bv tho outs at his fathor. Ho bori
them as long as ho could; and when lu
oould control himself no longer, ho began,
with a certain wildncss of cxpros
sion, whioh gave a peculiar interest tu
what he uttered: "His buck's mighty
bad oil, but dod trot my soul if lie's pui
it to daddy as bad as ho thinks he has,
for old Kit's blind and deef, I'll be dod
trot if he ain't."
"Tho devil ho is," said Blosioui.
"Yes, dod trot my boul if ho cia't,

on Blossom, and many rushed to tost
tho fidelity of tho little b jys report

"Neddy," said the old man, "yoi

SOMNAMBULIST'S FEAT
Walked Twenty Five Miles Without
Awakening.
Sound asleep, without oonrclous volition
and utterly unaware of hie performance,
until after it wan ovor, Kenneth
Hughes, a stulcnt of tho L*ko Forost
Academy, made his way at night from
his room in tho academy to his oountry
homo near loon Like, -"> milos distant.
Whether ho rodo or walked, or by
what road ho went, or what wero his
advcnturis along tho way, ho has not
tho taintest glimmer d knowloJgo ajeordir
? to his story. Tho trio is all the
moro woudetful bccnmo tho youDg man
had bcon suffering for wocka with in
fUmmstory rheumatism. Ho had ox
pressed to hia paronts a desiro to visit
hia home, but deferred the trip bcoauso
ho thought it would bo too painrul.
Tho moat tho sleep walkor knows is
that ho went to bod as usual in Lako
Forest and was awakened next morning
iD hia father's barn, twonty-tivo milos
distant. Tho duration of hia somnolent
stato was from shortly after 8
o'clook in tho tv miDg until <5 o'clock in
tho morning. It win at tho latter hour
that tho bjy'a father, who ia a farmer,
went to the barn to feed his Bt<<-k and
found tho young man propped up in
tho family buggy, still sound asleep
Young Hu.hoH hnd tnkon tho pains to
wrap a number of robes about h m.
This instinct of self protection, which
manifested itself whtio ho was dreamily
uocinsoiius, probably savod him
f cm acrious rosulta from exposure.
Tho older Hughos, eupposiog hia aon
was in Like Forest, was surprised to
find him where ho was, and his surprise
grew into amazement when (ho youth
protected that ho knew no h ng
whatever of tho hours that ioieivenod
between hL retirement and Lis awakening
in tho barn.
Ho opened his ryrs in astonisl m nt
and tri< d to r? o ill *ouic incident of tho
night, hut i was a 1 a por'cc. blank to

thereupon that ho uiuH have rid

l'r>?f. Conrad Kibbler of Lako Forest
Academy is much puzzlod by tho oaso
and does not attempt. to aonountfor tlie

Ho was tol l that no more ears wero
