" stick to his text.n But il bio is tied to
it, it may run away with him, especially
If it goes on ell fours. An exchange
tells this droll story Of clergyman'S
experiment, and how il ended:
Some years ago there lived ID Central
New York very worthy but eccertric
divine, known as Father Goss. He
had hired man named Isaac, who
always obeJed orders without quea-
ton.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when milked,
refusing to surrender the lacteal fluid,
although Isaac used all the persuasive
arts Of whichhe was master. He fHal-
ly reported her delinqueneies to his
master.
Well. Isaac" said he, . 60 to the
barn and get those pieces Of new rope.n
Isaac obeyed; the COW was driven into
the stable. tied with piece Of the rope,
when the Rav. came out armed with q
knife.
Now" he explained to Isaac. /" I
will get on the cows back and you may

milk"
Isaac obeyed. The feet we're tied,
the pail got, and the milking oom-
menced.
But bossy objected. and plunged
wildly about. The stable was low and
the Rev.'s head was fearfully thumped.
0 Isaacl Isaacl' bawled he, = cut the
rope!'
Isaac seized the knife and cut, not
the rope which tied the masters feet
but the one that tied the COW. Tho
stable door was open, also tho yard
gate.
Away darted the frantic cow, the
terrified man on her back, helplessIy
roaring, "Stop her, stop herl"
While madly careering down the
road he met q parishioner who e.
citedly called, Why. Mr.. Goas, whore
are you gcing?'
"Only God and this COW knows. =
groaned he; 81 don't"
The animal was finally caught, and
the man released, much frightened but
unhurt.
