Putting a Bull TO the Test.

They had q discussion over at Miller's
the other day about bulls. Mr.. Miller
said that II was all nonsense 10 talk about
bull being excited and made furious by
. red rag. He said he had an ugly tenn
pered Devon bull over in the field who
would take II like lamb il you would
stake the flags Of all the nations in his
face. DIR. Robinson said that Miller
daren't try Il, and Miller bet Robinson
that he would. SO Miller went into the
house and loaded himself up with a red
flannel undershirt, and we all walked out
to the field The bull was there, looking
as calm rs summer morning. Miller
climbed the fence, aud went toward the
animal, keeping the shirt behind him.
As he came close 20 the bull he suddenly
produced the shirt, and flirted il in the
bulls face. The beast jumped back a
yard or two in astonishment, and kept
his eye on Miller, while Miller waved the
old yermilion garment vigorously. Then
the bull shook his head several times, as
if he declined to have anything to do
with the business; and Miller turned to-
ward us and put his thumb TO his nose
and wiggled his fingers; while he was
making this signal of victory, an idea
seemed to strike the bull. He put his
head down and moved swiftly forward.
Miller at first thought there had been an
earthquake. He was hurled up twenty
feet, and when he struck the ground he
made another ascension. Upon his de.
scent he though the would try to run. but
a Devon short-horn was inserted in his
trousers, and again he went up high
enough to make bird's-eye view of the
surrounding country. On the twenty
fifth descent he fell on the other side of
the fence from the bull, and we picked
him up. His clothes were in ribbons.
His nose was furled and bloody, and his
mouth was full of grass and mud
We asked him how he felt; but he
said nothing. We inquired concerning G
the condition of his bones, but he made
no reply. We asked if his views about
bulls had undergone any change, but he
walked silently along. We wanted to
know how he enjoyed the scenery the
last time he went up, but he would not
say. He merely went into the house,
filed up both barrels of his gun with
old nails, and screws, and scraps of iron,
and then he went out to interview that
bull The animal was corpse in Ten
minutes, and then Miller peeled his un.
dershirt and went up stairs to bed.
We know what his views are now, al.
though he doesn't express them freely
