Death Was a Live One.
Whllo on tho way to the race track In
Now Orleans one day several winters
ago nn undertaker named Mr. Dooley
passed a funeral procession on its way I
to tho cemetery. Dooley had a friend
with him, another Irishman, who ex
claimed, i'Suro, death always wins.'
There happened to bo n horso entered
that day named Death, and ho won
with ridiculous ease, Dooley winning a
good bet 011 him. Dooley told all his
friends of tho Incident, and they all
went out to the course tho next tlmo
Death was entered. Ho won every
time he started for thirteen races. It
was near getaway day, when every
ono was packing up ready to tako tho
last train for New York. The horso
was sold that afternoon at uu auction
sale, and tho buyer was Mr. Dooley.
He hitched him a mouth later to a
hearse, and tho horso became fright
ened and ran awny and was not stop
ped until the graveyard wus reached.
After tho burial Dooley had tho horso
fihot and burled near tho cemetery.
You're a dead one now, Death," said
Dooley, "but a Hvo one In thoso thir
teen races." Bnltlmoro American.
