Horse Had Hia Sympathy.

A chauffeur whose first love Is horses even If he Is now wedded to an automobile, made his appearance on Seventh avenue, New York, on a scorching afternoon. A string df automobiles stood In the shade -of a big hotel Presently a delivery wagon was added to the row of vehicles, but the Bhadows were not wide'enough to shelter It, too, and the horse stood panting and trembling in the broiling sun. The driver of the machine that stood Just behind the delivery wagon alighted and patted the horse’s sweaty flank. “You poor old fellow,” he said, “it’s a darned shame, Isn’t It?” Then In the absence of the horse's driver he undertook to remedy the shame himself. His own machine was run away from Its position at the curb, the horse was backed into the shade, and the automobile took Its place In the sunshine. It Is not recorded that thereafter anyone expressed sympathy for the automobile.
