The Bully and the Butt,

The recent resignation of his chair
in the Senate by Mr.. Reagan, of Texas,
has served to recall the incident
which led him to leave Tennessee,
where he was born, and settle in the
Lone Star State. It appears that
one day he went to mill with a grist
to be ground, and after he had wait
ed in line until his turn came, he was
rudely addressed by q man who pro-
posed to step in ahead of hi m, and
threatened to throw him out of the win
dow unless he would yield his place.
Mr.. Reagan, the story goes, like all
the rest of the people in the neighbor-
hood. was more or less terrorized by
this desperate, and in fear OF his life
rushed for him, butted him in the
stomach with his head, and literally
lifted him off his feet and flung him
through the window. When the des-
perado disappeared, the consequence
OF his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He Instantly supposed that
he had killed q man, that he would
be hanged for it, and scared almost to
death, he rushed downstairs, uuhitch-
ed his horse and lit out across the
country for Texas. The man was not
killed, but got q good shaking up
He soon moved to Texas, and was q
friend to Reagan in after life.
