''Thapn be bullyl' cried Sam. His ewes
frightened as ne saw a carriage driving toward
them. He yelled TO The coachman TO stop.
There's Governor Pacheco." he shouted. The
Governor stepped out of the carriage and ad-
vanced toward the President, and Sam sang out:
Hello, Governorl Mr.. Arthur, this is my friend
Governor Pacheco | want you TO know
him. I'll go with you now, Governor Good day
Mr.. Arthur relinquishing his hold of The Presi-
dents hand, and General Arthur and Governor
Pacheco separated. The boy shouted: 'Oh, Mr..
Arthur, You must go TO the circus when Jumbo
comes. They say he is the biggest elephant in
the world. lou had better drive down and take
me with you when ne comes"
The President laughingly assented to the prop
osition. 1t very evident that Sam thought
more of Governor Paches-o than no did of the
President, and more of the circus than he did of
both.
