Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 169, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1917 — The Burro. [ARTICLE]

The Burro.

The bnrro Is a small and compact horse of the mule variety. He has a high forehead and a thoughtful, reflective face, but is not as brainy as he looks. Sometimes indeed he seems as inane and stupid as a man in love with a grass widow. Most generally a burro has great, soulful eyes, but really his soul is smaller than that of a blind kitten. In a collection of souls that of the burro would seem like a mere - speck. The greatest value of the burro is for the load he carries. If a man could carry the same load and be as sure-footed about it he would be worth $20,000 a year as a wine agent. —Los Angeles Times.
