Why tnev Kick.

1t reminds us OF one Of Abraham Lin
coins stories. Mr.. Lincoln was running
for Congress. There was some "kicking"
against him, for which no reasons. save
personal ones, appeared. Addressing a
meeting In the distr ct. and referring to
the fact, he said he had tried hard to
find out just what the trouble was, but
had no more success than he did in trying
to lind out why jackass that he owned
In his younger days kicked. ''The case
OF that jackass," said old Abe, "was
most singular. When everything was
pleasant oil around he would kick the
worst. When his rack was fullest, and
his stall fixed with new straw, and every
thing real comfortable, the jackass would
start on ir the almightiest spell Of kick
ing that was ever seen. All the veteri-
nary Surgeons in the neighborbood came
arennd and tried to find out just what
made that critter kick SO. They never
could agree about 1t. One thug we all
noticed was that he always brayed and
kicked at the same time. Sometimes he
would bray first and then kick. but
some,imes he would kick first and then
bray, so that confused us. and nobody
in the whole county was ever able to find
out whether that jackass was brayiug at
his own kicks or kicking at his own
brays. = -Boston Traveller.
