THE DECOY OK OF THE CHI
CAGO CATTLE YARDS.

One of the sights of the great
cattle yards of Chicago is an old
white OK, named Judas. An OK
may rise to eminence by his cum
ming and wisdom as well as a
man, and Judas has risen. He
came to the yards a good many
years ago, while he was yet a
frisly steer and he was immedi-
ately purchased by one of the
great packing houses and driven
from the train which brought
him from his Iowa home to a
distant yard.
The life of most animals at the
cattle yards is very short-a week
at the very most. A few days
after the arrival of Judas the
herd of cattle which occupied
the pen with him was selected
for killing. The way to the pack
ing house led down a long alley
way with high fences ON each
side, then up a narrow chute
and into the building. For some
reason the cattle seem to know
what is coming, for they already
object to being driven up the
chute. Judas was no exception.
He plunged madly about among
the herd, and the cattlemen had
more trouble with him than with
any other animal. AT last, how
ever, he seemed to realize that
sooner or later he must go and
be made virtue of a necessity,
trotted quietly up the chute and
the other cattle followed rapidly
after him. Thus he ran until he
had just reached the door of the
packing house. Then quick as a
wink, he turned and galloped
down a side passage and escaped,
while the other cattle went on
ward into the building.
Judas had been so very clever
that the good-natured cattlemen
let him go for that day, for geni-
us is to be appreciated in steer
as we'll as in man. The next
day, however, they drove him up
again with another herd. This
time he made not the slightest
objection but trotted forward
quietly, and the other steers,
having q confident leader, behav-
ed admirably. But, just as Ju-
das reached the door of the build
ing he lodged again, so suddenly
that the men couldn't turn him,
and escaDed as he had done be-
fore, while the herd behind him
went careering into the killing
room.
Since then Judas has been a
regular employe of the yards.
Every day he leads up a herd of
cattle and every day he lodges
just at the door of the building.
He has saved the cattlemen no
end of trouble and delay with
riotous herds since he began his
service. He has grown fat and
sleek on the good living of the
yards, and so highly are his serv-
ices regarded that the cattlemen
have provided him with white
blanket on cold days to keep him
comfortable.
And thus he is living to a green
old age, but he bears the disre-
spectacle name of Judas-the be-
trayer.

never, in all the hundreds | have seen
baptized in water, saw any one back out.
But have seen many get happy in the
water and shout for joy. If they get too
happy the minister must know how to keep
hold of them to steady them and to keep
them on their feet. If he should loose his
grip they might fall and swallow more water
than would be good for them; or they might
perish. But have never yet heard OF
any one perishing.
ssWe do not say that midwinter baptism
is faith cure, but we do say that a strong
faith that will take penitent waist deep
into lev water in January will go far to
merit a blessing from on high if the petl-
ton for cure is made in the proper spirit.
When my daughters were immersed asked
them later in the day whether they were
cold afterward They replied they guessed
not. as they had no recollection OF dlscom
fort. And yet they walked half mile

the Holy Ghost was impelling her on to
baptism and she could not hold back; and

of the most healthy mothers that | kno"
