Finally she sprang on him from the rear, got his neck between her teeth and shook him to death.— R. W. Robertson, Woodmere, L.

Out in the wilds of “Goat Town,” on the outskirts of Flatbush, if you must know, is a family which has a bag of one dozen rolls left on the front doorstep every morning. For the past week the bag has not, been in its accustomed place and, despite vehement protests that he had left the rolls regularly, the baker's boy has been looked on with suspicion. After a family council {t was decided that father—it’s always the poor old man—should arise earlier in the morning in order to check upon the baker. Sure enough, in the dim’ light of the early morning the rolls were left on the step. And what is the object leap- ing over the low fence? A goat! Aha! Billy tae Goat ambled up the walk, picked up the bag with his capacious mouth and nonchalantly strolled off. Father chased madly after the villain and intercepted him in the road. Billy gave him a disdainful look, carefully placed his loot on the ground, squared himself and dashed violently with lowered head. By footwork which would have been a credit to Benny Leonard, Dad managed to dodge the avalanche.
