Casey Got Even With Bull

Gov. Glynn of New York tells
a story concerning one Casey, a
hod-carrier who during the sum-
mer was employed at a country
place in Westchester county. In
order to reach the railway station
to take the train home it was
necessary for Casey to cross an
extensive field.
One evening there was bull
IN this field, and it gave Casey
terrible chase He sprinted for
about half a mile and only escap-
ed by a wonderful leap over a
five-foot fence.
Next evening, on his home
ward journey, Casey carried
hod with him to serve as a weap-
on should he again encounter the
bull. This time however, the
bull was absent. Only playful,
harmless calf was in sight ap-
preaching it, the vindictive Ca
sey gave it sharp blow with his
bod, at the same time exclaiming
excitedly:
"Take that, and tell your faith
