Bil1's Calf

While coming to town last Satur.
day, Mr.. Clark met lone calf on
the road south of town; he tried to
drive away from it but the faster
he drove the faster the calf would
go. Soon Mr.. Clark was overtaken
by Mr.. Hinkle, and he, perhaps
having fresher team, drove
around Mr.. CLARK but not away from
the calf, and, like the team before
it, the faster it went the faster the
calf would go. Finally William
Thielen with his span of HIGH and
FAST steppers came along and over
took Mr.. Clark. passed him and
was soon up with Mr.. Hinkle AND
THE CALF, which seemed to be rum
ming about NECK and NECK. Bill
took in the situation and asked Mr..
Hinkle where he was going with
the calf. Hinkle replied, "damned
if l know Bill; ask the caif.'
The gait was becoming alto
gether too slow for Bill 80 taking
tack to larboard," he sailed
around the Hinkle team, (but not
away from THAT cALF), for like
Mary and her little lamb, "every.
where that William went, that calf
was sure to 60" When the team
struck the road again and came
down to their three minute clip,
Bill. with the satisfaction of con-
quering hero, remarked to his wife
who was sitting by his side, "If
them fellows had team like Fox
and Dandy, no damn calf could
keep up with them" Just then the
calf, close behind, bawled one OF
it's best which sounded like the
Honk of Honest Pete's auto. This
startled Bill, who gave the colts the
rein and away they went for town,
Bill to rid himself of the calf and
the calf trying his best to keep up
with Bill, whose company it began
to regard with affection.
1t was an amusing sight to see
Bill coming over the bridge south
of town; the horses nearly ex-
hausted and the calf with it's
tongue hanging out, only few feet
behind
Bill and the calf have parted COM
pany now, but he takes this COM
fort from the event: That the calf
must have known that while in his
company it would not be ekinned,
either OF it's hide or in the race
Should you desire to know more
about the calf, ask Bill.

Men are like horses; you've often
found
A man like the horse on merry
20 round,
Though he's bright of eye, and
timber of joint;
He always comes back to the
starting point.
While another fellow, steady and
slow,
Reaches the place that he wanted
to go.
He's fellow who doesn't prance
to the sound
Of music on merry go round.
