Mason’s one morning last week when a valuable cow fell in the well near the barn. The neighbors) responded to the S.O.S. and built a derrick over the well, but the horses that were drawing the cow out stepped', out too quickly—the rope broke—the cow was back in-the well! When the rope was ready again a second attempt was made and the men placed planks over the well to prevent a similar oc­ currence; but alas the planks spread apart and the poor cow journeyed (none too gently) to the bottom of the well for the third time. At the next attempt the rescue was affected and the cow isn’t much worse for her experience. If she could only talk she would likely say "All’s well that ends well..’ fa in­ feel- bus.
