. Dorothy and the wizard in Oz . n the air all right. Eureka weighs only about half a pound, replied thehorse, in a scornful tone, while I weigh about half a ton. You dont weigh as much as you ought to, Jim,remarked the girl, shaking her head as she looked at the ani-mal. Youre dreadfully skinny. Oh, well; Im old, said the horse, hanging his headdespondently, and Ive had lots of trouble in my day, littleone. For a good many years I drew a public cab in Chicago,and thats enough to make anyone skinny. He eats enough to get fat, Im sure, said the boy,gravely. Do I? Can you remember any breakfast
