"Spenkln about cnntnnkorous critters," wiid old Zeta Whito as wo sat together one evening, "I reckon my eon Sam, who died five y'ars ago, was nlmut the wnst. That boy had powerful good heart in him as a ginerul thing, but thar was days Whon the devil seemed to hev possession of him. It wasn't.

no good to switch him, and when he was outer sorts it wasn't no good to argy with him. He was 16 y'ars old when I cum home from the wah, and his head was swelled up big 'nuff fur a man of fo'ty. He finally got so that he felt like rubbin np ag'ln ma I was at work in the garden one day when he oums home from the Co'ners a-splttin right and left, and biraeby he cums out to me and sez: 'Pop, mebbe yo calls yo'self the best man on this yere 'Mebbe I sez as I looks at him outer my left eye. 'But yo' ain't, though, and I kin prove it. 'Then who IsP' 'He stands right yere befo yo't and his cognomen ar Sam White.

He gits nigher and nlgher, and blmeby he sails fur me. I knowed what was eomln, and befo he could wink twice I flopped him on his book and then whopped him till he hollered fur mercy.

He gits clue to the cage and grabs that tail and gives it a plnoh and a twist and then hangs on to it with all his might. The lion jumps up with a roar fit to shake the hills, and in about a mime that hull menagerie was upsot and the circuB folks a-pilln on to gam.

One of the older lions In the cage clawed him across the hand, a dog bit him in the leg, and them circus folks whopped him till he didn't git outer bed fur six weeks. Ho was in to all jest eich scrapes as that, and the wonder was that he lived as long as he did. The older he crowed the mo' cantankerous he got, and one day the ole womna cum to mo with tears in her eyes and sez: 'Zeb White, Sam's a-gittin wusser and wusser all the time, and I'm almost hopin theLawd will take him away.

That bull was a big 'un and booked two bosses to death. As the man was glvin the alarm the bull showed up down the road.

He was pawln up the alrth and makin the heavens quake with his beller, and eioh as had hosses tied up was mighty spry to aet 'em loose and git 'em away. Nobody didn't propose to git in the way of that bull and take chances nobody but my son Sam. It was a chance fur him to show off, and he riz up and yelled: 'This is the day I hev bin Hvin furl I'll go fo'th and take that bull by the horns and flop him on his "The men tried to argy with Sam, but be was sot, and, pullin off his coat and fllngin down his hat, he walked out and begins to paw and beller, same as the bull. The critter stops to look at him and fur a minit or two he must hev wondered what it was. Then his eyes began to glare and his tail stand out, and the crowd hollered to Sam to git over the fonce.

He never minded 'em, but with a roar and beller he run in on the bull." "And what happened?" I asked, the old man paused. "Jest what might hev bin looked he replied. "Sam was tossed 20 feet at the fust go off, and when that bull got through with him thar wasn much left to bury. A man cums up to break the news to us.
