For as long as I can remember Uncle Ben has been trading horses. Where he came from no one seems to have the faintest idea, but the ma­ jority of folks just take him as a nat­ ural part of life here in tile district. I never did know what his right name was and the post office folks say that he gets mail by the name of Uncle Ben, For the.past number of weeks he’s been eyeing a little chestnut mare of mine, when I happened to have the team in the village. Fie would stroll casual-like by, turn around and look the mare over and then in a sort of absent-minded way pass the time of day. He was interested. So, it was no surprise to me when I saw him drive his horse and buggy in this morning. He scorns a car, saying that when you drive along in a car you don’t get time to.think. Tying the horse up to the fence he unlimb­ ered his long, lanky frame down the laneway to the stable where I was harnessing the horses. Uncle Ben is a born horse trader. He never once looked at the chestnut mare, but started talking about the sorrel horse. Then in a sort of cas­ ual way he looked up under those bushy eybrows of his and said: “I’ll give you a hundred dollars cash for her.” But I knew Ben too well and merely said: “Double it and you can have her.” .That floored him. He took a chew of tobacco, made a neat bullseye on an upended water pail and after talk­ ing about the weather for about five minutes said: “I’ll raise it five.” He assured me that he couldn’t possibly sell the mare again because she was too fine-boned and she looked old. I agreed with him and started for the stable door. “I would take her off your hands,” ■.< Room Lots from 50c up< BASEBALL RECORDS The'following is-the batting, fielding and pitching records .ons at the completion of the season.

I came down five dollars and Ben whittled furiously. When he had a neat pile of shavings he walked over and looked at her teeth, and said: “H’mm”, in a way that would do cre­ dit to a quack doctor trying to make out you are seriously sick. "Sounds as if she might break in the wind,” he top price is a lars.” And so all Twice he made me offers and when I refused he walked half-way across the barnyard and turned around to raise his bid by a dollar. The really tough bidding was from one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty. I had come down from my price to one hundred and sixty and Uncle Ben was at one hundred and forty and accord­ ing to himself losing money every time he raised the bid. He raised it to one hundred and forty-five, pulled some money from his pocket and offered it to me as if the deal were settled. Then we split the difference and, agreed upon one hundred and fifty as the price. He immediately pulled that familiar black wallet from his pocket and paid over the cash. I am to deliver the horse next Monday to his stables in the village. Then he sat in for dinner. As soon as Mrs. Phil saw his horse and buggy in the laneway she set another place. Uncle Ben is an elderly man. He’s tall and thin and his imposing height is crowned with a mop of white hair that borders on being ridiculous and yet makes Ben look sort of dignified. , He invariably wears a suit composed of a different pants, coat and vest.
