The first colonel of the First Maine
cavalry was bluff John Goddard, an
ironsided old lumberman, says the
Lewiston Me Journal. Before the
war he used to take gangs of men into
the woods every winter.
Late one fall in the "fifties" tall,
lank Yankee came into Colonel God
dard's Office and asked for employment
as a teamster.
"Do you know how to drive oxen?"
asked Goddard.
II rather reckon / do,' was the BASH
full response.
"Suppose was yoke OF oxen" said
Goddard, getting down on sail fours'
on the Office floor, ''and suppose would
not haul, let's see what you would do to
make me come up under the yoke"
The Yankee objecJed at first, but when
he was told that his winters work de-
pended upon the trial he took the long
long braided oaken oXgoad and began
hourishing it over the kneeling Cod
dard's head
Hish, Bright; get up, there, Golden.
Come here, Star; gee off, Liru," he
yelled in turn, but never move did old
Goddard make. Finally, getting weary,
the teamster inserted the steel brad
