Bill Nye And The Cow.
When I was young and. used to
roam around over the country,
gathering watermelons in the dark
of the moon, I used to think I could
rnilk anyboily's cow, but I do not
think sa now, I do not milk a cow
now unless the sign is right, and it
haan't been right for a good many
years.
The last cow I tried to milk was
a common now, born in obscurity—
kind of a self made cow. I ramie m•
ber her brow was low, but she wore
her tail high, and she was haughty,
oh, so haughty.
I made a commonplace remark
to her, one that is used in the very
beet society, one that need not have
given offense anywhere. I said
"So"—and she "soed." Then I
told her t "histe"--and she "lust-
ed." But I thought she overdid it.
She put too much expression in it.
Just then I heard something
crash through the window of the
barn and fall with a dull, Wakening
thud on the outside. The neigh-
bors orae to see what it was that
caused the noise. They found that
I had done it in getting through the
window.
I asked the neighbors if the barn
was still standing. They said it was.
Then I naked it the now was injured
much. They said she seemed to be
quite robust. Then I requested
them to go in and calm the cow a
little and see if they could get nay
plug hat off her horns.
I am buying all my milk now of
a milkman. I select a gentle milk-
man who will not kick, and I feel as
though I could trust him. Then,
if he feels as if he could trust me,
it is all right.
