"Wood and coal split." The next appeared. in a London newspaper, wider the head of "For Sale" : "Pianoforte—cottage— seven oo- taves—the property of a lady leav- ing England in a remarkably ole gent case on beautifully carved sup- porters." What does this mean ?— "Bueinees chance.—To be dispos- ed. of—A genuine fried fish businese at the West End." Does the genuineness apply to the fish, to the businese, oe to the way in which they are fried ? And one's mind gets hopelessly dazed over the advertisements offering a large reward for "A large Spanish blue gentleman's cloak lost in the neighborhood of the market." There are others deliciously in- consequent, like the advertisement of a runaway, which furnished this valuable hint for identification :— "Age not precisely known, but looks older than he is." Or the notice a shoemaker put on his door "Shall be back in ten days from the time you see this shingle."

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. .wayB on liana.
