We hope pray the Most High will pour richest blessings on you both that, after all of life is over, we anchor side, by side in the Harbor of Heaven. and His and may PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “BUTTINSKjY’S A PROBLEM” «Every day in the so-called smarter magazines, I read where model mo­ thers Write in regards to just what to do with problem children. It is to these exponents of motherly love that I address this , . an open letter. I, too, have a problem child of the Lazy Meadows animal folk . . and his name is Buttinsky. You see, he’s a goat . . but I have little doubt but that prob­ lem children may, at times, be called “goats” behind the privacy of a clos­ ed family door, when Paw decides that theory is all right, but that a practical switching sometimes does better work. Buttinsky was hot labelled in vain. He has one of the most perverse na­ tures of any animal that I ever saw. Nature endowed him with a very sol­ id bumper and he proceeds to wreak havoc with any target that will afford him practice. Neighbour Higgins came over to pee me yesterday, and he gave a definite opinion that if I paid absol­ utely no attention to Buttinsky he wouldn’t bother me. Well, I decided to try the advice and so this morn­ ing when the goat was out frolljcking in the barnyard I summoned up all my courage and walked leisurely ac­ ross the barnyard. Mind you, I even managed a quavering bars of “Turkey In The Straw”, I came closer^and; closer to the gate, to the Janeway, X reached it, cussed in no uncertain! terms my carelessness in not having fixed the latch, and then while I fumbled to open the gate it happen­ ed. I was suddenly boosted upwards and draped across the old gate. The booster evidently had not had suffic­ ient start to send me all the way over , . , and so there I was, In a sort of- subconscious way I, seemed to hang there, and then in that terrible instant I saw Buttinsky preparing for a sec­ ond charge. Summoning all the remaining ener­ gy I had, I sprawled across and land­ ed on my head in the snow-bank. I was none too soon, because that re­ probate of a goat smacked up and in­ to the gate. I managed to struggle up from the snowbank, pull my hat up from around my ears, and then brush as much as ^possible of the snow from my collar. I discovered then and there that ignoring the bad boy of the barnyard, was not a remedy. It would be much like a matador entering the ring and then ignoring the enraged bull, turn and light for himself a cigarette. He would probably land with his chin hooked on the gates of the pearly kingdom, with St. Peter looking in a reproving way ,and trying to deter­ mine if Satan was trying to pull a trick on him. I have been quite wary in that barn­ yard all afternoon, and I have always managed to keep at least one eye on Buttinsky. He snorted in a plainly defiant way, stamped a dainty hoof and then tossed his whiskers up in the air as much as to say . . “Just you .turn your head once . . and I’ll show you that I can boost you over that darned old gate with one push.” Now, what is a man to do. I have been busy all evening pandering ov­ er volumes on goat-raising- that the Agricultural Representative sent me, and still I can’t find one solution for the cantankerousness of Buttinsky. Of course, there is plenty of good, words for the value of having goats in your stable '. . and of how to feed them not a verse Of insky, but somehow I don’t like to do that. It would be more or less of an admission that I was beaten, wouldn’t it. No sir, I think I’ll just keep on trying to find a way of hand­ ling him. And right here and now I would like to thank all those people who sent me the nice letters when I was sick. Yes, I’m feeling fine now that the wife’s sister, went: away. Maybe this is telling tales out of. school, but .last week I had a parcel come to me-in the mail. A lady from , Lucknow sent me 'a quart of real ap­ ple cider . . it wa's good, and so if you detect any hilarious note in this column, well, please pardon me this time. and of how to raise goats, but single word in regard to a pet­ nature. course now, I could sell Butt- 7 LOW ROUND TRIP .
