PRAYER OF A HORSE FOR
FAIR, KIND TREATMENT
The McCord-Stewart company is in re
ceipt of the following "Prayer of a
Horse,” which has been posted in every
stable in New York, where police hors
es are kept:
THE PRAYER OF A HORSE.
"To thee, my , master, I offer my
prayer: . , . ,
'.'Feed me, water and egre for me,-
and when the day’s work is done, pro
vide me with a shelter, a clean, dry bed.
and a stall wide enough for me to lie
down in comfort. Talk to me. Your
voice often iheans as much to me as
the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I
may serve you the more gladly and learn
to love you.
“Do not Jerk the reins, and do not
whip me when going up hill. Never
strike, beat or kiek me when I do not
-understand you. Watch me, and if I
fail to do your bidding, see if some
thing Is not wrong with my harness
or feet.
"Examine my teeth when I do not eat.
I may have an ulcerated tooth, and that, j
you know, is very painful. Do not tie
my head in an unnatural position, or
take away my best defense against flies
and mosqifltoes by cutting off my tail.
~”And finally, of my master, when my
useful strength is gone, do not turn me
out to starve or freeze, or sell me to
some cruel owner to be slowly tortured
and starved to death; but do thou, my
master, take my life in the kindest way
and your God will reward you here and
hereafter. You may ' not consider me
irreverent if I ask this in the name of
Him who was born in a stable. Amen.”
