V f 1 . THE OMAHA-SUNDAY BEE: JULY 251920,r- V ) V ) r HORSE TURNS IN ALARM WHEN HE SCRATCHES SELF - " "Bonapart" Leans Wearily Against Telephone Pole and Trucks Rush . ' to Scene. ' ''Bonapart," the ; ancient nag of John Bosvitz, a fruit and vegetable peddler,, was standing at Eleventh : and Howard street yesterday about V7- a. m., waiting for his master to negotiate a load of fruit and vegeta- bles to sell. "Bonapart," who lives up to the Ost section of his name, was weary. He had been awakened from dreams , of green pastures and, flowing waters at 4:30 and hitched' to the creaking wagon and hustled to, the market . place. . y v "Hard Life," Muses Bony. "It's a hard life," Bonapart re flected, "and I have stood it for more , than 20 years. However, they say J ; the .first 20 . years are the hardest. . sOh, well, tomorrow's Sunday." 1 , ,. Bonapart s head itched and he leaned up against .the post and scratched it. There was a red thing on the post with a brass handle. Bonapart found this brass handle ; made an excellent thing to scratch r- his head. Only it didn't seem to be I firm. It moved when he scratched himself. Fir Alarm Sounds. In the fire station at Eleventh and ' Jackson streets thebell rang. Fire s men popped out of bed and slid 4 down the poles. The engines and ' hose carts 'n' ever'thing rushed out of the barn; They dodged among the dozens of wagon and trucks fill ing the'market streets at that hour of the ' morning. They rushed to Eleventh and Howard streets. -" The firemen looked in vain for smoke. Bonapart looked up sleepily ' at the .disturbance. , : i Scratches Some. More. 7 , Then he went on scratching him- v self. If that darn brass thing -only .... . n ... . J wouldn t move, ne reneciea, ne couia scratch much better. "Here's the guy that turned in the alarm," exclaimed Captain Sam Car ney, surveying Bonapart, who was still busily scratching. . . Bonapart's owner came up and un hitched him. "I guess I put that horse on the Orpheum circuit," he said, r v "Well, just so you keep him away from them fire alarms is all wt ask," yelled the firemen as they drove back to the barn.

"My blood is food, my heart action perfect, and am as quick and active as in the early days when I rode bronchos for a living. Why, then, should I feel that I have to wear out in the next few years?
