Casey Got Even With Bull
Gov. Glynn of New York tells
a story concerning one Oaaey, a
hod-carrier who during the sum
mer was employed at a country
place in Westchestercounty. In
order to reach the railway station
to take the train home it was
necessary for Casey to cross an
extensive field.
One evening there was a bull
in this field, and it gave Casey a
terrible chase. He sprinted for
about half a mile and only escap
ed by a wonderful leap over a
five-foot fence.
Next evening, on his home
ward journey, Casey carried a
hod with him to serve as a weap
on should he again encounter the
bull. This time however, the
bull was absent. Only a playful,
harmless calf was in sight ap
proaching it, the vindictive Ca
Bey gave it a sharp blow with his
hod, at the same time exclaiming
excitedly :
"Take that, and tell your fath
er Patrick Casey done it!" L,ip-piucQtt's,
