A Four-Footed Pest (1910)
"The horse has four legs, one in each corner.'' This is a four-footed horse, one of man's most faithful friend excepting an automobile, which is not a horse. Well, this horse is called a pest, which is a peculiar kind of animal, because he is only a mischievous horse that knows and does a whole lot of things that make a whole lot of fun that keeps his victims busy and the rest of us laughing. He runs away, dumps his driver into a mud puddle, unties a woman's clothesline, letting the clothes fall in the dirt. He is chased by the woman and an ever-increasing crowd. He runs to the seashore, makes off with the wraps of the bathers, and they join in the chase and add to the fun and excitement. The next thing this pesky horse docs is to pull a newspaper out of a man's hand while the man is seated on a bench in the park, next to an old lady, to whom the horse turns his attention and eats the flowers from her bonnet, pulls it off, and the old lady's wig with it. The man and woman start in pursuit. Then he puts his head in a kitchen window, eats up a freshly cooked pie, and goes away with it, followed by the cooks. A party of children playing on the lawn see the mischievous animal, and try to drive him away. The horse seizes the hose, turns on the water and gives the youngsters a ducking. The chase is a merry one, but our four-footed friend outdistances all hands, reaching his stable, where he awaits their coming, and when they arrive gives them all a laugh and an encore of "Ha! ha! ha!" which the onlookers enjoy and re-echo with peals and roars of merriment.
