This modest request was made by man
who was standing at a gate on 4 lonely
road RUM ming out of Dew Drop, Staten

other living object visible on the long,
straight road was large black ram,
whose massive crooked horns were being
held by the man rs the two stood quite
still in front of the gate.
"Why, Sartainly, shipmate," said the
aud relieved the first holder.
The latter climbed quickly over the
gate.
Il thank ron very much," hc said pO-
litcly, when lie got to the ether side. You
will be surprised to hear that never saw
that ram before to-day. The brute at
tackled me about half an honr ago, aud We

As long as you stand before him holding
his horns firmly Ire can't hurt you much.
