KEEPING OFF THE RAIN
' He's very quiet, gentlemen,' said the innkeeper, referring to a horse, which two young city men were to drive, - ' but you must keep the rein off his tail.' ' Right,' they said, ' we will bear that in mind.' -When they returned the innkeeper inquired how they had got on. ' Splendidly,' was the reply. 'We had one rather sharp shower, but we took it in. turns to hold the umbrella" over the horse's tail, so there was no real danger.'
