Lowell, the new president of Harvard, paused In one of his recent lecturer and smiled. /“That Governmental difficulty,” he said, “was great—as great as the diflU, culty of Lincoln's farmhand. "Two -farmhands Lincoln used to say, were set upon by a huge bull white crossing a rocky field. One managed to gala a tree. The other took refuge in a hole that proved to have an exit in the rear. “The man who had chosen the hole was no sooner in at one end than he wag out at the other. With *. bellow Shull made for him. He turned again shot like lightning through the hols The bull once more bore down upon him, and once more he was In and out of his hols “This strange pursuit kept up some ten minutes or mors At first It mystified the farmhand jp In the 'tree Then it angered him. “ ‘Hey/ he shouted, 'ye danged nincompoop why don't ye stay la the hole?' “The bull was dashing from one end of the hole to the other at great speed, and the man was bobbing In and out desperately. He heard, however, his comrade’s shout, and found time before his next brief disappearance to shout back: w *Danged nincompoop yerself! There's a bear in the hole!’"
