ALL TOO VIGODC.-
LAMB" WAS AN EXCEPTION TO
GENERAL RULE.
Judge Ptman Found Out Its Charac.
ter In a Short Time--Book's De.
scription Not Correct in
This Case.

Judge Pitman, short time ago,
bought pet lamb for his little chill
dren to play with. 1t was a pretty
good-sized lamb, and strong and Wig
orous; but the Judge said he preferred
that kind, because the children would
be less likely to hurt 1t.
On the day that 1t came home they
turned 1t out into the front yard,
where 1t strayed about nibbing the
grass while the judge tied up his
geraniums.
Mrs. Pitman had the children In the
house and she was reading to them
from book description of the char.
acteristics OF lambs. The account
said that The lamb Is one of the most
playful and innocent of animals SO
kind and meek is It that its name has
for centuries been the synonym of gen.
tleness and sweetness of disposition.
1t never Injuries any one. and when 1t
Is attacked 1t always suffers humbly
and In silence. There is something so
beautiful about the gentle little animal
that"
Just at this point Mrs. Pitman was
interrupted by the voice of the Judge
coming from the front yard Il
sounded as If he were in distress of
some kind.
The whole family flew out upon the
porch. and there they saw that pet
lamb. whose name was the synonym
OF gentleness. engaged in butting the
Judge. 1t would butt him in the rear
and knock him over, and then 1t would
butt him in the legs, and batter him
on the ribs, and plunge it's head into
his stomach, and jam its skull against
his chest. When he rose 1t butted his
shins, and when he stopped over to
rub them 1t butted his head. Then II
butted him generally wherever a
chance presented itself; and when il
had doubled the Judge all up under
the norway maple. 1t butted down
three rose bushes, butted plaster
garden vase to fragments, butted two
palings of of the fence. and danced
on down the street, butting at the tree
boxes. the hitching posts and the
northwest wind.
Mr.. Potter finally knocked 1t in the
head with a club and brought it home
to the judge; and subsequently, when
they had the hind leg for dinner, the
Judge observed to Mrs. Pitman that
from the manner in which that lamb
cut he should believe that II was
born during the war of 1912, and that
1t was. in fact, terrific old ram. Then
he said he should go down to see the
man who sold 1t to him for lamb
and bang him with club.

kittens as regular pets.--New York
