The mental quality of Garden Goozle seems to be compounded of summer squash and milkweed milk, and it would be quite harmless were it not for the strong catbriers grafted in the mass for impaling the purses of the trusting. "Ah, if we only lived a little nearer together, near enough to talk over the garden fence!

It appeared an impassable obstacle and indeed it was, as the powerful Jim and the agile engineer had to admit after a careful investigation. "No use impaling ourselves on that thing," said Berwick.
The calves were behind that line. The black mothers simply heaped themselves upon those impaling horns and armored fronts, bearing them down, smothering, engulfing them in an avalanche of screaming and monstrous bulks. The bulls, meanwhile, were rending, tearing, stabbing, on flank and rear. The two Dinosaurs disappeared from view.

This object, however, he was unable to accomplish, and his mind became diverted to another idea.
Horrible Impaling of a Mart on an Iron Picket. Mystery attached to Him. Second Attack on Mayor Opdyke's House. Second Fight for the Wire Factory. Telegraphic Dispatches. Citizens Volunteering.
