Pecos Bill's Old Horse Still Pulls Wagons in El Paso
Old Chub, the cavalry horse ridden by Gen. Shafter in the 1870s, is alive and earning a daily allowance drawing a delivery wagon for Louis Jean, a French grocer in El Paso. Once condemned as too old in 1882, the veteran steed later served as saddle, draught, and stablemate before and after changing hands through Fort Davis, Houston, a transfer company, and now Jean's shop.

It riffs into ad blurbs for Cheatham’s Tasteless Chili Tonic promising chills cure, then shifts to a passable dress pattern description from the Chicago Tribune and ends with more tonic claims.
