after an experience that he
doesn't care to repeat.
The physician was making a
professional call in the suburbs,
and inadvertently left the door
of his car open. A billy goat
was eating tin cans and Ber-
muda grass nearby; the auto
seat looked very inviting. and
the goat entered, ensconSing
himself comfortably upon the
cushion.
Having completed his call, the
doctor tried to "shOo" the ami
NAL out, but it refused 10 be
shooed. A grab at one of It's
hind legs resulted in a brief en-
counter which was not disas-
tr0us, but brought the goats
horns into play.
All other means failing, Du-
bois then possessed himself of
long pole and with one mighty
heave pushed the obstinate
thing from out his car. This
done, he had to keep the goat
at the end Of the pole until he
could start the car and make
his getaway.
