Horses are raised in some Colonies, but it is better to raise oxen, which can be used for twelve years and then killed or sold. The farmers are industrious and frugal, educate their families, and are growing rich in land if not in money.

The horses were longer at their lunch than we, and Miss Kitty requested her traveling-bag. "And now," she said, "I will get rid of this fiend of a hat," whereas she had steadily protested for miles that she didn't mind it in the least.
A special light engine over the Transcontinental to Jack's Canyon an exchange of courtesies which even fighting railroads make in war as well as in peace a wire request on the stage company for relays of saddle horses, and the thing was done.
When he arrived home on Sunday morning he found the people of the village, our people, the Tartars, and a hundred carriages that had brought people from the surrounding villages camped in front of the inn.
