Somebody bas boen telling a story about the way Uiicle William Allen was outdono by " a little pennyroyal buil." Uncle Williain, ou his morning walk, found the calf in his early corn, and hc startod in after tho intruder. He " sliewod " at it, but the calf was unmovcd. Then he said something sky blue, but the calf was as calm aa Únelo William Allen was tho niorning after the last election. Then, says the story, "ho made a dash for the brute, who, secing that this attack roally meant bupiueae, started off on a run, with a snort of doüance. Close upon his heels carne Unclo William, now thoroughly wakcd up. For a time it was a lively race, but in the end the calf won, and exhausted and disgustèd, tho human gave up to tho brute, and pantiug for breath, leaned ip against a friendly fence rail for support. As soon as breath returned, Unclo William thus addressed himself to a small colored servant who had boen quieÜy enjoying tho sport froin his outlook in the shado : ' I have served in the Asscmbly of the nation as tho peer of some of the greatest men tho country ever producod, and none of thom in dobate over worriod me so much as that doubloblankod littlo pennyi'oyal buil.'
