A Horse that Jumped 200 Feet.

“Yes,” said the reformed hostler, “I had a horse once that jumped over 200 feet on Yustradglit"load.” “Did he make it in one jump ?” said the mule driver. “Yes, he made it in one jump,” said the reformed hostler, “and he’d a jumped 1.000 feet if they’d been there, as them was—pickled pig’s feet in a barrel.” “I drove a horse once,” said the honest stage driver, “that jumped through a wall four feet thick.” “Did it hurt the wall any ?” said the reformed hostler, insinuatingly. “No,” said the honest stage-driver, fiercely, “but it killed the horse.” “Talking of horses jumping,” said the reformed hostler, “we had a horse that jumped every fence on the farm, and wound up by trying to jump over his own tail.” “Did he doit?” said the converted mule driver, breathlessly. “No, he didn’t!” said the reformed hostler, calmly.— New York Journal.
