A TRUE STORY ABOUT A SAILOR GOAT

statue, as II he understood every
word.
You can imagine how the
men loved this little fellow and
how they played with him. They
taught him to fight. OF course,
a goat knows how to butt when
he is born. But the sailors
trained him up by holding up
their hands and encouraging him
to butt against them as hard az
he could.
1.-THE goat got very skillful at
his butting and practiced with
every sailor who could play
with him.
"The ship came North and
went to Boston. And as 1t hap
pened, there in the Navy Yard
where the ship was tied up to
the dock lived a big white billy
goat, with long gray beard. He
was a sassy goat, and strutted
around as If the Navy Yard had
been established for his particu-
lar comfort. He thought he was
monarch Of all he surveyed
until one sad day.
ION this day, the little brown
South American goat, who was
only half the size Of the big
white goat, spied him. He took
one look at the big fellow and
then walked camly down the
gangplank. Straight over to the
big goat the little fellow went.
He lowered him head kicked up
his heels and what a whack he
gave the blg goat!
1.-The big fellow was thunder
struck, and before he could re-
cover himself, the little fellow
went at him again. Bang! bang!
he plunged in under the big
goats whiskers. He got the
best of the big white goat he
fore he could get out another
mahah. Then without waiting
even to look at the little fellow,
the big goat ran off-licked and
humbled. And all because the
little fellow had been in train.

just walloped him.

more" said Bobby, jumping up
and putting up his guard.
