Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     There is a grey horse worked by the St. Louis Transfer Company in one of the omnibus teams which is an habitual tobacco-chewer. The animal is really passionately fond of the weed, and seems delighted when offered a piece of tobacco. The fact has become known at nearly all the hotels, and the equine with such habits is the recipient of a good deal of attention by human beings addicted to the same habit. The driver of the bus says it costs him at least 50 cents a month to keep the horse supplied, notwithstanding the fact that friends of the beast treat him so often.-Courier Journal.
