I was at my uncle’s, near Niagara Falls, In Canada, end had hardly arrived wbcu he said: “Now, nevvy, you’ll bo wondering around more or less, and I want to caution you about hp old ram I took up as an cstray the other week. He’s down in the lot where the gravel pit is, and just as sure os you give, him a show he'll be the death of you. I saw him knock a cow off her feet at ono hang, and I wouldn't go into the lot for #50.” Next day I skirted the fences and found the old chap anxious for business. I didn't give him an opening, however, but some body else did. I was standing in the barn with* uncle when he suddenly exclaimed: “Great Joseph! but there’s a tramp in the gravel pit lot! That rani will smash him to pulp in two minutes!” He shouted, waved his hat and shouted again, Imt the tramp was a quarter of a mile away, and walking with Ids head down. The ram >vas lying down in the pit, and the yelling brought him out. We saw him scramble up tho hank, and my uncle gasped out: “Git a boss hitched up to go for the un dertaker, for that tramp won’t bo alive two minutes later!” He was, i hough. The ram came at him on an angle, and lie caught sight of the animal when about ten rods off. He wheeled to tho right, stood still, and the ram got within ten feet, find then sailed through i be air on a straight line to strike bins. Next instant tho tramp had him by tho horns, and with a twist find a jerk he broke IN neck with a snap. lie tarried to Ixi sure that the ram was dead, and then came .in, climbed tho fence and said to ns: “Gcuiicuien, £ou sco before yon a man who has hi.on unfortunate.
