PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J, Boyle
I was cutting weeds around the
fence bottoms when a strange looking
vehicle passed by. It was a cut down
democrat with rubber tires, A com-
fortable looking car seat had been
installed in place' of the usual wooden
affair, A horse of somewhat advanced
years was pulltug the vehicle and an
041.44M04,1an hat ~ wearing

I'm Horse Dan MacCallum,"
Then it all came back,' to me. This
was one of the most famous horse,
traders in the county. The stories
about him were legion and it was said
by the older folks that he could out-
smart a gypsy any day of the week.
Now, he just rambled around the
roads making an occasional trade but
actually ;being retired from the strain
of his work.
I asked him what he considered to
be the best trick he had ever pulled.
He squinted and laughed and then
