Catching Speed.

Two wild eyed horses, wearing dilapidated harness and drawing a battered delivery wagon, stopped at the stable door. “Just had a runaway!” panted the driver. “Then, for heaven's sake, don’t put those horses in with the other horses that will soon go out on a trip.” said the head hostler. “If Vhu do they’ll run away too. They always do. Before 1 learned as much about horses a 9 I know now 1 brought on a dozen runaways by doing that fool trick. The horses that have just been on a spree are still worked up to fever pitch, the rest of the horses catch the spirit of the devil from them, and as soon as they get out they take a header.”—New York Times.
