Stopped The Horse By Telephone

STOPPED THE HORSE BY TELEPHONE.

The well to do farmers are rapidly putting in telephones at their homes. Said John Chalmers: "I wouldn't be without a telephone for anything. The other day my horse, which was standing in front of my house, took a notion to run. Away he went down the road and I came to the conclusion that I could have a long hunt for him until I happened to think of the telephone. I ran into the house and called up Robert McCardy, who lives about a mile from me, to run out and stop the horse. He did so. Who says we are not living in a pretty good age?"
