JOHN r. S. BOND, says the

the proprietor of the Chilli-

THERE is a man in Camden,
New Jersey, who is provoked.
He is abSent.minded. A few
nights since he went out to
drive his COW. Arriving at the
pasture ground, he found that
the cow was gone, but the bell
which should have been around
her neck was lying on the
ground. He placed it in his
pocket and forgot all about it.
Every now and then it would
give a smothered jingle, and
he would think it was his cow,
and would start off in fresh
direction. He followed the
bell, as he thought, until 70
o'clock that night, and walked
twenty miles. When he reach>
ed home, the COW had been
there five or six hours, and his
wife went over to the city to
advertise for him IN the "Lost
and Found" column of the
Ledger. Perhaps he wasn't
mad when he found that bell
in his pocket His wife thinks
he was a little extravagant IN
talking about the affair, but
then she may be mistaken.
