said that he was sitting on top of a school desk at recess, kicking
back with his heels, and when asked what he was thinking about,
replied: "I was wondering, if my legs were horses, how fast they would

It was with a realization of the fact that when a class of
Sunday-school boys assembles, their instinct is of one accord to turn
