only TO make h N ore expert in the ad
IL thent Of the force necessary to ac
coEp!ish his purpose. For any years
/ he Tegned as the champion knocker-
down of Coney Island But, alas. Tor
the perpetuity of goat supremacy, in
1890 rival entered the field.
His rival was a ram OF uncertain age,
but undoubted vigor. He was imported
by Mike WEIGH from the village Of
Wilbur. The ram was sraller than the
goat. His horns cur!ed downwari lie
! was black ana white in color. With a
narrowncss and lax of amiahiity
which reflected seriously on the mascu-
line sheep, he regarded a men a1d
women as his enemies. Even to his
friends no favor was shown. His owner
quickly recognized the weakness or
strength Of his four-footei property.
and after a brief interview with the ram
was engaged for an hour patching up
his barked shins with sticking plaster.
This made a very poor substitute for
SKIN, aud Mike wrathfully nurSed his
bruises aud vowed to take pitchtorll
with him the next time he went into the
field where the ram was confined.
Mikes Sims would have been intact
had he not been prompted by the die
-tatcs of kind heart to help friend
1t happened that Patsy FOgarty was
crossing the feeding ground Of the ram,
when he attracted the attention OF the
animal. There was nothing suggestive
of an ugly disposition in the appearance
Of the ram. TO be Sure, he kept one
eye on Patsy, and while feeding edged
ND sideways in Patsy's direction. So
marked did this movement OF the
ram become that Patsy stopped
and waited for the ram to come
up, Intending to scratch the ami
mails head. Bat when abort ten feet
away the ram lowered his head, backed
up some four feet. and then charged.
When his he ad came into contact with
Patsy's legs the latter sat down. This
act was performed so Violently that
Patsy thought his spine had been forced
up through the hack OF his neck. Patsy
was still seated when the ram charged a
second time. but as a measure of safety
lie grasped the ram by the horns and
held on until by his cries he attracted
the attention Of Mike Welsh, the owner
OF the animal.
Lave go o that ram shouted Mike,

over the wall. "Gi' me hoult OF him,
till see is he that strong"
Patsy transferred his hold of the
ram horns to Mike, and then climbed
on the wall to watch the fun. Five
minutes went by. Patsy sat on the
wall and uttered such comforting re-
