The only thing that will stop a horse from lolling his tongue Is to use a bit with a wide piece of metal on the center. This prevents the horse from getting his tongue above the bit Unless the tongue is above the bit the horse cannot protrude it The Daffodil. ▲ little daffodil came out While chilly winds were blowins: With some dismay she looked about. For few green things were growing. “Dear me," said she, “ ’tis sad to see How very backward spring must be!” The rude wind smote per in the face And nearly bent her double; She gasped: “This world’s a dreadful place For fuss and noise and trouble. This rough wind mow makes such a row. But TU keep blooming anyhow.” A little maiden passed by chance, That chilly, windy weather. She spied the flower at a glance And clapped her hands together. “What splendid cheer!” she cried. “Oh, dear, Jt’s springtime, for the daffy’s here!” —Philadelphia Ledger.
