his hand, overturned an Ink pot nnd

Cobbett had a poor memory. In a
fever of anxiety he tried to reconstruct

possible, and ho called on tho Itusslan

refused, and Iliisslu repudiated the

sailor's to exclaim:
"Hello, cook, what wns that?"
"Oh, that Is nil right," he answered.
'It wns lamp chimneys nnd llatlrons."
But It was hardly nil right, for dur

wooden horse was mmle of planks

ridge or angle about eight or nine feet
long. This ridge represented tne back
of tho horse nnd wns supported by
four posts or legs nbout Arc feet high
placed on a stand tnndo movable by
truckles. To complete tho resemblance
to the noblest animal In creation a
head nnd tall were added.
