DAVID HARUM WAS AN AMATEUR

This Man Buys Horse for 35 Cents, Makes Half a Dollar. • Brockton, Mass. —Joe Miller made the best deal of his career when he purchased a horse and wagon for 35 cents and found a half dollar in the outfit. He bought them from a woman in Bridgewater, who admitted that the horse was blind in one eye and lame, but worth ?1 at that. Later he invested $5 for grain, and then appeared on the streets with his horse and wagon, the steed still blind in one eye, but the lameness gone. Joe agreed that he has the smartest outfit of any of the ragmen who have money enough to support a horse.
