Sir: Extract from a letter of missionary
friend in India to myself: Il did manage to
get q goat the other day with the old Ford
run about here in. was coming up from the
station where / had gone for few boxes of
supplies. This unfortunate goat got in a fight
with an old hen, and 1t must Just have shpt its
eyes and run. For it made a dash and man
aged to get under the wheels Of my Ford. 1t
was the end Of Mr. Goat So had butcher
who was near cut its throats and then turned
It over to the Boys and Girls schools. But
one goat wouldn't make very large stew for
$50 or more hungry kids"
Queries:
/. Did Ford ever get YOUR goat?
2. Doesn't the hen as we'll as the Henry de-
verve some credit for the goat Staying?
3. In the last sentence of the above .the
missionary refers to the kids" devouring the
goat. Was it ease Of cannibalism?
-QUERIEST.
