Caught on—The Preacher. Didn’t Fun:
Succeed Iii Appearing Unsophisticatcd.
The Little Ram’s Ring Tactics.
A preacher told this story at a. wed-
iing supper on the South Side the other
evening:
‘-‘I.was riding along a country road
near Bloomington,” he said, “when I
noticed a group of sheep in a pasture.
There was a. large open space in the
midst of the flock, and at either end of
the space stood a rani. In the center,
' ‘ but standing 9. little at one side, was a
t {LAN INNOCENT PAR scN .
'HIS ATTEMWPT TO DESCRIBE A RAN}
.c
third ram. The two rams had evidently .
bad a falling out ’about something, or
else they had come to settle in a friend-
ly contest which was the better ram.
Ram N o. '3 seemed to be acting as—
judge, umpire—what do you call it?
Referee? Yes, that’s it, the third ram
was the referee. I don’t khow under
what rules the meeting took place. It
may have been Queensberry or Roscbery.
You see I am not up to these technical
matters.
“When all the preliminaries had been
arranged and both contestants had been
cautioned apparently that there was to
be no ‘fouling’——I think I have seen
that word in the newspapers 'occasional-
ly, and therefore I suppose it is a cor-
rect word to use in this connection-—
each backed oif‘to the farthest limits of
the circle, which, by the way, was not
a squared circle. The referee stepped
out of the way, and the rams dashed to-
ward each other._ When their heads
came together, there was a terrific crash,
and the force of tho concussion threw
them as far .1 part. as the length of this
table ”
All the guests looked the full length
of the table from the passion flowers at
one end to the bride’s cake in the far
perspective, and then at the preacher in
the middle distance, but nobody said
anything.
“Then, ” . continued the preacher,
“they took their places, apparently none
the worse for the encounter. Again, evi-
dently at a preconcerted signal from the
referee, they dashed togethe1. This time
the shock was even more terr: fic than
the first, and I noticed that as one of
them went back to his—ah, what do
they call it, corner?—-he was a little un-
steady on his legs.”
“Groggy l’ ’ ventured the bride.
“I believe that is the technical term, ”
replied the preacher, “although, as I;
have intimated, I am not at all familiar
with sporting phraseology. When time
was called for the third round—ahem—
that is, I mean to say when the ram
had recovered strength for a third col—
lision — 11.1 'e was another rush, a
crash, an .1 one of the rams, the one you
so aptly described as ‘groggy’ (with an
acknowledgr.1cnt to the bride) fell to
his knees. His adversary did not seem
inclined to follow up his advantage, but
possibly he may have been restrained by
the rules of the meeting. _ At any rate,
aftercontemplating his fallen foe grave«
ly for a moment he walked back to his
place. The other ram, after resting
briefly, struggled to his feet. The third
ram—the one I have called the referee
—looked at him rather inquiringly, as
it seemed to me, but the warrior show-
ed no sign of recognition. He ambled
to his side of the ring and faced about.
A miumur of some sort seemed to go
through the flock. The odds were up-
p" arently 3 to 1 in fav01 of the other
ram—that is to say, it seemed to be the
general opinion that the ram with the
weal: knees had been outclassed, as the
other one was decidedly the heavier of
the two.
“However, the smaller ram seemed
to have wonderful recuperativo powers.
When the proper interval had elapsed,
he came up smiling, as itwere. I even
thought I could see utwinkle in his eye,
for I was quite close to the «fence, and
this thing took place only a. little dis-
tance away. As the referee. stepped back
from the center of the ring, where he 7
kept his position between the meetings,
the other two rams drove at each other
pellmell. At the very instant when
their hard horns w0uld have met, how-
ever, the- smaller ram suddenly changed
his course to the right, and the other
went through the ranks like a catapult.
“Just as he 'turned about, evidently
boiling over with indignation at the
trick which had been played on him,
the other one, with the added force given
by a longer run fi'om one side of the cir-
cle toa point several feet outside of it,
where the larger ram’s momentum had
carried him, shot at him like a cannon
ball, striking him full in the face and
driving him several feet away, where
he lay limp, and helpless. The third
ram, who was promptly on the spot, as
I suppose every competent referee should
be, nodded his head several times—in- _
deed it looked to me as if he was count--
ing—and then the fallen ram failing to
rise the whole flock marched away to-
ward a knoll in another part of the
meadow with the victorious ram at the
head. Presently'the defeated ram got
on his feet and made his way to a se-
cluded spot down by a little run, where
I saw him reclining in the shade of a
large willow tree as I rode away.”
“What an interesting study natural
history 1s, ” said the bride’ s grandmoth- .
er as she adjusted her glasses.
“It is indeed, ’said the groom’s fa-
ther, coughing behind his napkin. —Chi-

TLE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY.
Goo Little's Bills, and His Train Failed to '
Agree When He Reached Port. Jervis. I;
The Explanation Ott’ei-ed For the Car's‘
Strange Freak.
“It isn’t likely that there is any of ~
the 009 Little breed of cattle’left inthe
said a veteran
their idehtity must have been destroyed
thOugh mixture with other breeds. _ It-
doesn’t matter, for there was nothing
of particular note about that breed of
cattle, except the way they happened to
be introduced into that locality
“In those days live stock transporta- ‘ .
TTrie’s big items of
tion was one of the‘.
trafiic. Trains half a mile long, loaded
'with horned cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs, used to pass over the road two or
three times a day. Such a thing is al-
most a curiosity nowadays. C Coe Little
was conductor of one of these stock
trains betWeen Susquehanna [and Port
Jervis. He left Susquehanna one night,
in those good old days of railroading,
with a long train of cattle cars. Those
trains were next to passenger trains in
class, and were run over the road a-hum-A
ming. Conductor Little delivered his
train at Port Jervis on time, and hand-
ed over his way hills, which he had re.-
ceived' at Susquehanna, and on which
the number, character and contents of
every car in his train were recorded.
When the agent at Port Jervis compared
Little’s train on this Voucher, one car
was missing. The car was entered on the
way bill as having left Susquehanna all
right, but it wasn’t in the train. Its
place, according to the bill, was about
in the middle of the train.
“Well, here was a situation. 006
Little declined that every car was in
the train when he left Susquehanna, for
he had checked the number of each one
on the way bill himself. He certainly
hadn’t delivered the missing car to any-
one on the way, and he couldn’t see how
any one could have sneaked in and sto-
len it, especially as the train had been-
on the move pretty much all the time
between Susquehanna and Port Jervis.
A telegram was sent to the agent at Sus- '
quehanna, asking for information about
the missing car. The reply was that
nothing was known there that could
throw any light on the subject; quite
the contrary, for the agent corroborated
Little’ s report. The car was in the train
when it left Susquehanna.
“During the efforts of the puzzled.
railroad men at Port Jervis to solve the
mystery of the lost car, some one dis-
covered that the car that should have
been just ‘behind the missing one was
coupled to the one that should have
been just ahead of it without the aid of.
a coupling pin, the link being broken» in
such a way that it had become a book,
which was fast in the pinhole in the
coupler of the other car. This didn’t
help matters a little bit, and rather
deepened the mystery.
“They were still deep in efforts to
solve the mystery, and a car tracer was
about to be sent back over the road to
see if he could find the car, when a tele-
gram came from Shohola, a station 16
miles west of Port Jervis. The agent at
that station said in effect that some-
body’ 8 cattle car was astray in a field
along the Delaware river just beyond
Shohola station, and that somebody had
better come and look after it. The
wrecking gang was sent up from Part
Jervis, and, sure enough, in the middle
of a field, 100 feet or more from the
railroad. stood the missing cattle car,
(right as a trivet, except that. its doors
were open and its cattle gone. To get
where it was the car had run down a
ten foot embankment, across a wagon
road and through a stout rail fence.
“There was only one way to explain
the freak of the car in quitting its train
so unceremoniously. Going east along
that part of the Eric the track is on a
heavy down grade. Just before reaching
Shohola the coupling pin that held the
car to the one ahead of it must ”have
broken. This divided the train in two
parts.
jumped the track, and breaking the link
. that held it to the car behind it, went
on down the bank, getting out of the
way of the oars’following on the track.
“When the leading section of the di-
vided train got to. the foot of the grade.
its speed slackcned. The hind section
caught up with it, and ran into the
rear car, but not with force sufficient to-
do any damage or attract attention.
The broken link, then a hook, happened
to fall into the pinhole of the coupler _
ahead of it. The train was thus recou-
pled and went on to Port Jervis without
the loss of a car right out .of its very
center having been discovered by any
one'. There is no parallel to this ‘one in
the record of mishaps to railroad trains,
and it has never ceased to be a wonder
to all old time railroad men.
“Well, whether the doors of the fugi-
tive car were broken by the jar and jolt
.of its trip down the bank, through the
'fence, and across the lot, or whether the
cattle inside kicked them open, I can't . ‘
say. They Were open, and the cattle
jumped out. It was winter, and the
Delaware river, only a few feet away,
- was filled with running ice. The cattle
must have been in a panic, or must have
known that they were in Pike county,
~Pa., or something of that sort, for they
plunged into that icy fléod and made
their way across the river into‘ Sullivan
