ice water, but the goat was
special case.
Nash said he couldn't release him
until he was completely sober, and
the goat had to be let out quickly.
or Nash might be forced TO quit
his own jail. Besides being ex-
tremely lean. dirty and long
wiskered. the prisoner also was
malodorous.
The goat Was arrested with
his owners, A. g. Hurley and
Eugene Chapman, lsborers.
Chapman and Hurley had been
touring Grand Pralrie's "a
looms and night clubs with
their pet. Every time the men
took a drink. the goat took
one. They drank bar whiskey
straight.
A clergyman observed the three
staggering down the middle Of the
main street, and urged Nash to
arrest them.
Nash advised the men TO 60
home, but when they argued, the
goat became violently Ill. Nash
took them all to Jail.
The men recovered more quickly
than the goat. paid fines for

We speak, perhaps, of marvellous
ends of perfect days
Unthinking of the impact upon mind
and motive
Of unfolding faculties, accumulat-
ing impressions
Material for character, molding Sc
cret thoughts
Freedom, to come and go
With no glance over the shoulder
No shudder, seeing badge and uni
form across the street
No hushing of the voice; no mental
motions stopped
No questions as to who, or where,
or when we meet or speak
So long as no stumbling block upon
our neighbor's path is laid
All this we take, not knowing what
we have
Quite as we breathe air, no wonder
at it's life-giving content
Until some day, shut up, where
breezes cannot blow upon US

So much so, some have derided it,

But it has become part of our at

It's vital elements essential to our

But unidentified, as oxygen escapes
our scrutiny in the air
Aviators miss its presence, beyond
