Revive the Horse Laugh.

“I think,” said one of the middleaged fellows at a downtown resort, “that what is wanted is a society to revive the horse laugh. It is missed, and sadly.” “What kind of a laugh was that?” asked another chap. “The horse laugh, the loud, flamboyatit,' ItapTY ba-lia,” came -tbe- answer; “the kind you can hear at the distance of a block and that shakes the rafters. That was known as the horse laugh when I was a toy. but I rarely hear Itriow! rt bught to be cultivated. If is needed. It tones up the system and sets the digestion going, not only of him—who horse laughs. but of those who hear tlie horse laugh. It was the stuff, the real stuff, aud, unless it is revived, posterity will be the worse off for its loss.” —Philadelphia Records Benjamin Hobbs of Springfield, Mass., is the oldest active armorer in America.
