A Timid Man.
Arkansas Traveller.

Arkansas Traveller.
"You amt goin' TO let the cir.
cult rider have that boss, air you,
Jimg" said the old mau 10 his son.
Several prankish fellows stood
looking at a notwithstanding horse
that had just been brought out of
the stable.
"Yes," Jim replied, winking al
his friends, "an' | don't want you
to interfere. When a preacher
comes around here with such an
unnecessary show of meekness,w WY
he deserves a lew slams against the
ground"
"Yes, but jimmie, he's SIGH a
inoffensive Teller"
"Makes no difference, he's got 10
ride this holse or none. II you say
a word, pap, I'll swear won't help
you gather corn next week."
This declaration sIlenced the old
man. The preacher, meek and with
a tImid air, came out of the house
and inquired of Jim which horse
he was TO ride.
''This one," SAID Jim. "He looks
pretty bad, but l reckon he'll be
all right when you get on him.
Come on, fellows, and help me lift
him on"
The men, with many wInks and
sly chuckles, came forward and
with great difficulty succeeded in
seating the preacher in the saddle,
The horse bounded like a buck and
the men shonted, but the preacher
did not fall off, but, after lighting a
cigar while the horse was jumping
remarked:
"Boys, l forgot TO tell you that
am the cowboy evangelist. When
l get through with this old stageI
give me something lively"
The boys seized Jim, took him
acrose the road and compelled HIM
to ''set up" the drinks.
