At The Country Club
How a Sheep Freed Garrison
and Bumped the Tramp
While the Boys Shouted
Out at the Washtenaw Country Club grounds there abides a festive sheep of the male persuasion, with which various and sundry people have had experience lately.
The other day there occurred a sprinting match between "it" and Charles Garrison. Better time was made than any of the onlookers thought possible. Garrison got up such a rate of speed that when he came to a convenient tree he proceeded up the trunk thereof with the same clip as before. The ram stopped at the roots. as he was not in quite so much of a hurry as was the aforesaid Garrison.
Now Garrison was too far away or anyone to hear his soliloquy, but judging from the pugilistic demonstration which he made his language must lave been warm.
Finally to relieve him of the stress of circumstances a passing tramp was asked if he would not like a drink. He allowed that he would and entered the enclosure to lake his thirs. No sooner did "it" spy him than the watch on the man up a tree was forgotten and a bee line was taken for the tramp. This proved to be a case of fire in the war and the ramp went down on all fours. He whirled around and tried to rise at the same time trying to face his foe. Down he went again.
But when he got on his feet a second time he looked no more for his enemy but proceeded to put great remoteness between them, forgetting in his haste to break out of ,hat enclosure all about the cooling drink he was after. Thus was the burden shifted from Garrison to the tramp and in the meantime Garrison came down from his lofty perch and made his escape.
The audience assembled on the porch of the club house was thoroughly appreciative and considered the attraction one of the most entertaining since the club was started.
A decree of banishment against "it" is now expected.
